hello



Hello
Is it me you looking for?
{does that ring a bell to any of you?}

In trying to keep up with one of my crafty resolutions, here's today's card:


I picked up a bunch of 'new to me' Distress stains.  Truth be told, I love them to create a bokeh effect but I know that there are tons of other uses {wink--going to get to spend time with Tim on YouTube}


I also wanted to let you know that I've discovered my new favorite black ink:



Have you seen the new team announcement over at Little Tangles?  Talk about talent!  Looking forward to all of the inspiration ladies!


Today's card uses Neat & Tangled's A Lot To Say & Everyday Circles.

I was also inspired by the current Case Study:

Yahoo for Donna & Erin!


Thanks to Jen W for reminding me to link up to CASology



Awesome new DT reveal over at RIC!




I'm so not a fashionista but I'm always inspired by the RIC!  I'm really a jeans, sweater & ballet flats kind of girl.

I'm blogging live as Friday's are really my Saturday's :)

Going to be crafty for the morning and then the boy and I are going to spend some time with the girl, what are your plans for today?

And so many uses for distress stains, don't show me, b/c then I'll "need" more of them.. yeah for playing along with the CASE Study crew :) Happy Saturday, I'll be watching movies all day with the Wild & Scenic Film Festival... and taking a few (chuckle) photos.
