these boots: Fusion Challenge!

I love these little Polka Dot Boots.

 

Little True Story. 

So when I met my husband, we fell for each other when it came time to register for dishes,

I looked around and my kitchen was totally white. 

I decided that now I found my WONDERFUL someone,

I needed to "live a little"

Change is sometimes good!

And so ..

we registered for Red with White Polka Dot Dishes!

 

Anywhoo.

This one made me sit back and think...

 for quite a few days.

I mulled it over.  I scanned through papers.  I tossed ideas around.

So this was difficult in the thinking,

 that it took quite a long time,

but once I decided what I was going to do, 

BAMMM!

it came together.

I had been meaning to "test" the Tim Holz Dies that I got a great deal on,

would they work in my big shot?

 

Yes, they did, I had to place another embossing folder atop them,

 and use only the spacer pages, not the base. 

It worked!

 

Happy Memorial Day!

This week's challenge inspired me

 to try for a watercolor look.

I love the mamelephant stamp line, and the set Smitten is a new little favorite.

I used it for the Play Date Café challenge, then I think, what else ??

Can I use it again, why YES, you can.

 

I used Marvy Le Plume Pens and copics for the effect

Another excuse to use mamelephant stamps and Amy Tangerine Fabric Stickers.

and you may just be surprised at the results!

I do apologize for not being so chatty, I work full time, have an active 11 year old

 (wow not used to typing 11, he just had his birthday Monday),

and he has ADHD, and a slight learning disability when it comes to memory and recall for writing. 

Long story short, it takes him roughly 5 times longer to complete his homework and with my help to write sentences recalled from reading a few pages.

So I work with him as much as I can.

I also have a husband that works the longest hours on the planet

(the video game industry)

that when he is home, I try to drop everything and spend time with him.

Oh, and my boy has Karate twice a week and all afternoon Saturdays.

I love it, don't get me wrong, but when I get a few hours to get a few cards in, I can't stop.

I also have my mom in a mother in law basement apartment

 in our house that I take care of as well.

Anyways, time is limited,

but your comments mean the world to me, so I will try to add more "life" into my posts.
