Creating Just For The Fun Of It

My pile of extra digital images has grown (again!) so yesterday I make up 6 cards using up some of those pieces.  My husband says I can be in my craft room as much as I want but I feel guilty and lazy if I spend too much time in there.  Can't get used to the idea that we can be flexible and lazy now that we are retired.  But I was having a lot of trouble with my left shoulder ( two chiropractor adjustments already this week) and I had two granddaughters for the day so I took my darling's advice and spent a great deal of time making cards just for the fun of it as well as making shrinky dinks and perler bead creations with the girls.  Time well spent after all.

I used the Seems A Little Sketchy sketch:
The sentiment is a plastic puffy sticker.  The dolphin is a precolored image by Doodle Pantry.   He always makes me smile when I make a card with him.

Other challenges for this card:
Simon Says Monday Challenge - emboss
Simon Wednesday Challenge - emboss
Timeless Tuesday - dry emboss

Sister Act - anything
Pennys Paper-Crafty - anything

Here is another card that I did just for fun;
This is another digital image and sentiment by Doodle Pantry.  This one I colored with Prisma pencils.  The grass die is Your Next Stamp.  Card base is GKD Kraft.

Here is wishing you a great day and hope you get a chance to create - just for the fun of it.

  1. I have yet to make a card with the dolphin yet every time I see someone like you make a card with it I fall in love all over again and ask myself why I haven't made a card with it yet. Also love the puffy sentiment. The little bugs in the card below is totally adorable too and I love having different grass dies and haven't seen this one yet. Yes, retirement is fun and I need to schedule myself. So glad you had a fun time with the grandkids.

  2. I'm with Cely on this one. I love these dolphin images and still have not made a card. Your card looks fantastic. And those caterpillars hugging are just too cute!
