just thinking

TO THOSE I"VE KNOWN FOR YEARS:
now it's been a month since my blog rant and seems funny that I KNOW you're visiting but no one has cared enough to comment, YET AGAIN! just keep that in mind, when ya remember how no one hears from me anymore!!
How are we to EVER expect peace on earth, when we cant even support our 'FRIENDS'? can even be there for a fellow scrapper when everything's going fine for you. no words of support, encouragement, not one email or card... just know that it doesnt only hurt, i will never forget.

still working on cards

slowly but surely i'm getting stuff done, with card making... finally got my lil clown done now all he needs is his card to spin on..woohoo! actually that's two clowns put together with dimension dots. this sweet guy came from Spyder's Corner Thank You! i LOVE your designs!!

and some more backgrounds:
this one is from a photograph:

this one is a 'wintry' background made up of cremes and a little glitter:

and this last one is a painted 'fall' background:

i'll share more as i get it done.
thanks for stopping by.

another background

haven't been too quick with card making but i AM working on them! yayy but i have been playing around with creating backgrounds... here's another i made with just puddles of old bottles of glitter glue i came just here around the house (NO i dont have a craft room so my supplies are here and there ). i just puddled the glitter glue in drops randomly then took a makeup sponge (found in bags, at most dollar stores) and dabbed the puddles til they were as you see them now. fixative afterwards.

sharing ideas

thought i'd share some background ideas with ya. i havent made cards with these yet but wanted to get the word out so you can try.
here's a picture of all puffy paints, only i took a q-tip and spread out the gold glitter puffy before adding the other puffy paint swirls:

here is a background of chalk pastels:

and last today, my favorite! a background of nail polish!! that's right, i said nail polish!!

and here are some more things i did with nail polishes:
dont feel like making a  background, maybe you just want a heart?

or accent parts of a heart:

or accent parts of a piece, like this medallion:

or just have fun with overall coverage on your embellishment:

well i hope i gave ya'all some good ideas, use anything you have!! paints, glitter glues, nail polish, blushes but when you are done i would suggest a fixative spray!
have a safe & wonderful & creative holiday weekend! enjoy.

dr update

well i made it to my appt yesterday (thank you Mike)and my doc (P.A.) was out sick! haha so some other PA told me my results.... of the infection ONLY. the tests were suppose to have included lipids and  all the other stuff they look for almost every 3 months from me, but i was happy getting ANY results! turns out that i had a bladder infection that was heading to my kidneys....that's when it gets lethal. so i am thankful that my ride to the dr. came thru friday, so i didnt have to try to make it till that monday appt i had made. had i waited over the weekend, it really could have gotten bad. for me, it was bad enough lol but i am doing much better.
i have been playing with card making again, so ya may see them pop up here at some point.
thanx for stopping by.
