Spring Vacation

Okay... I don't have a clue what I did... but the font keeps changing to super small after I update it.  I've corrected it over ten times and it keeps happening. So I give up and apologize that some of this post will be hard to read. 
I also removed by Google translation gadget because every time I opened my blog  I got an alert that it was infected with a virus. So it's gone... hopefully for just a little while until my virus scan settles down. 

I love this sweet image from The Paper Shelter named "Where're We Goin'?" Colored it with my Spectrum Noir and attached it to a tropical photo from an old calendar. Wish I was in that paradise right now. The "Hello" sentiment on the front is a freebie that you can find HEREThe inside sentiment is from a Beccy's Place set named "New Friends."

Didn't get this posted before the 17th but decided the Leprechaun magic will continue after the holiday. So… here is a wee bit 'o Irish lore to brighten your day. The little guy is from an old SU set that is long retired, and the inside sentiment is a freebie from LoveSVG. You can find it HERE.

My final card is for the current Outlawz Challenge named "Crash Your Stash." It is a new challenge for the site, that is celebrating it's 8th Birthday this month, and I love that it encourages me to use items that have been dormant for too long. This little cutie, inspired by the sweet bears at the Little Scraps of Heaven site, was sketched lightly onto mulberry paper and then carefully torn into shape. The eyes, nose and pink ear accents were added with paper scraps, cut to size and highlighted with a white gel pen. The little greeting accent is from my scrapbook supplies. Ahhhh… so cute.
