Oopsies (Blog Candy)

Here's a fun dragon image from Queen Kat's Carla Morrow called Oopsies. I added a funny saying today "It's a crazy life...but I am loving every minute of it."

Happy Birthday! (Blog Candy!!)

Sending out special birthday wishes today! Hope you have a great day. Here's a wonderful card I made using a fun image from Squigglefly called Brr-thday Chef. The challenge this week was to use yellow somewhere on the card, so I added some illumination above the candles of the bday cake and some fiber above the stunning lace that I got from Turkiye. Hope this card makes the Birthday person smile.
