Another two for Twofer: Zoo animals

 
Don't say I didn't warn you … yes, I'm back!
 
There are a few little bears who make even a sick person [or someone who is facing a challenge of their own] smile!
They just had to play with the Twofer Zoo Challenge #15!
 
Have you heard of the Boy in a Bubble?  How about a bear in a bubble?  Isolation never looked this cute...
 

That same little Wplus9 Little Dreamers set came to
my aid … the sentiment and bubbles?
 

 
Challenges are tough … it's so nice to have a
helpful hand to hold!  [or someone to pull you out of it!]
 
 
That's it for me this week … to those friends who will celebrate Easter on Sunday, be blessed!

Twofer Challenge #15: Zoo Animals!


A visit to the zoo is one of our favorite things to do!
 
These guys?  Totally make me smile!  They also make a cute Graduation, and retirement card for the
 


 
An oldie but goodie from Wplus9 called Little Dreamers that I'm thrilled to finally call my own ...
makes me think of the game Barrel of Monkeys!

It's not unusual to find a Zip-line in Zoos today … this guy
saw an opportunity to zip right outta there!

 
So there you have it!  I'll be back … there are a few bears in this set that I'd like to help escape!!

CAS[E] this Sketch #318 Retro!

It's that time again … let's go back in time to Sketch #218, shall we?
 
 
 
I know this is from 2017, but does anyone else feel like it was yesterday?  Anywho… here's an updated version!
 
I'm calling this one
'Floral - graphic style!'
 
I first stamped my card front with The Stamp Market's Confetti Background clear stamp, and then went right over the top of it with their [no longer available] Tropical Blooms, using Catherine Pooler inks - still my faves for color... but I LOVing a new black: Versa Clair Nocturne - amazing!
That sweet little sentiment is from an oldie-but-goodie W&W set called Sentimental Endearments... man do I love that font!
 
Hope you love our Sketch - don't forget to share your original, if you played along with Sketch 218!  Now let's go see the new and improved cards from my team and CTS318...

Inspired By #68... earth day


I have a sweet little grandson whose birthday is on Earth Day!  Be sure to check out my inside sentiment... we think he's out of this world!

For Inspired By #68, I've pulled out a few of my favorite Waffle Flower Crafts sets.  That marbling set was just the ticket to create by grey globe print, and their Books & Coffee set was fun to play with for the assortment of décor on my shelf … see if you can spot them. 

Inside:
"Of all the grandsons turning eleven on Earth today,
we peek-a-you as the best of all!"
 
Hope there are a few things that spark an inspiration with you today!  Play along, won't you?
