Hang in there!

Hi, everyone!

I've been spending time organizing and creating in my craft room today (not necessarily in that order! lol!). I put together some encouraging cards for my stash. This one features the Doodle Pantry Kite Ants. The digital image kit includes sentiments, so I used one of them, as well, feeling it was perfect for what I was aiming to do....put a smile on a frowny-face!

I'm entering this into the Doodle Panty Monthly Challenge.

I had picked up the great papers from JoAnn on one of my more recent shopping spress. They are from the Heidi Grace SunShowers Paper Pad. I used my Silhouette Studio oftware to print and cut the image, and some Fiskars Cloud punches (after running my paper through my Big Shot with a Swiss Dots embossing folder).

That's all for now! I'll be back again soon with more cards to post, I'm sure! In the meantime, feel free to stay and browse some of my other posts! :)

Let's Go Fly a Kite! A freebie svg!

Hi, everyone! Just a little quickie today! hehehe! There's a lot going on around my house - I've been moving my craft room from one area of the house to another and putting things together for the Blog Candy chain, so it's pretty messy around here! There are four or five men in my front yeard making all kinds of noise and scaring my dogs. Lol......it's very humorous to watch them cower under the desks and in the corners. The men are here to cut down a 75 foot tree that sits right next to the road, and it's dropping all kinds of dead tree "goodies" all over my vehicles. In the summer time, it ends up dripping sap. Yuck.....
So, that's oming down! Yay! My landlord is also outside with his tractor, cutting up sod to make way for some concrete sidewalks that are desperately needed here (it's very muddy....VERY muddy! I love all this hub-bub, but will be happy when it's over!
I've been daydreaming about the end result, looking out the windows at the finally-sunny skies. It brought me to creating this little svg for you today. The kite svg has little bows for the tail, as well as the kite cuts I used, but I changed my mind and decided to use some emroidery floss on my card this morning. I have to say, this is a messy card......lots of mis-aligned parts and pieces,  glue smears friom me not being very careful, and I tore my top kite piece when I was taking it off my mat this am.....oh well! I'm still a dreamer, and going to continue to envision my cleaned up yard! hahaha!

The svg file contains the bottom layer of the kite, top layer and four bows for the tail.

It can be found on my sidebar. 

Happy crafting, everyone! I hope you have a wonderful, sunny day!
