All Occasions/Bliss

Good Morning my crafting friends,

I made it back again today with another card.  So gald to be back in the crafting room and delighting myself in creation.  I am hoping to get back in here today with some more crafting, I need to make a run to the store but then hoping to spend the day here.  It will be tuff to spend the day in the basement since we are expecting nice temps and some sunshine but I will try to take a peek outside from time to time.

On to my card:  You will probably think I am nuts for saying this, but this card was dug out of the trash 2 times.  I just couldn't get the idea I had to come life in this card, so I pitched it, which I am sorry to admit I do from time to time.  But I finally decided the second time I dug it out to go in a totally new direction...so I got this, and I was so surprised it turned out pretty well, if I do say so myslef.

Another reason for this card to hit the trash bin was because I wanted the little bird to be on the front, and everything I did it still didn't suit my taste, so he is on the inside now, and it suits him fine....as well as myself....lol

I am going to try from now on to let you know what I am using and where it comes from.  I think it is great that we have so much to craft with now days.  It is important to know that crafting is something you get from your heart, and not everyone has that....but putting your creations on a blog or website, helps those who don't have the heart, create something nice too.  So feel free to CASE my cards, but if you publish it on the web at least leave me a comment on my blog saying you did.  I also pick up ideas and I love that fact that we all can share in creative talents but I feel it is a nice thing to give credit to the one who created it.

Everyone enjoy the day!
