Love the mix of elements at this week's Create With Connie & Mary #355! I can't wait to add the color challenge at Just Add Ink #262 - my fave color combo ever!
So, in spite of having all that going for me, I had a bit of a breakdown on this one, I think. My new Sprinkles of Life stamp set was working its siren wiles on me, and I started out nice and pared down. Then I tried out going all askew on my little squares, because Bonnie Farley from our mother-ship said that catty-wompus is all the rage right now, and I wanted to see if I could be hip and trendy, lol. So far, so good, maybe, but then there was all this white space, and I just PANICKED. Sorry about that - usually I can keep that under wraps, but it got away from me today, lol. So we have little leaves, and little flowers. In two colors. And little pearls. And then the corner rounder. Thankfully, Bug got home from school and intervened at this point. Woops! Over-Embellish-Itis strikes again!
