Treat Yourself

Monday, Monday... at least it looks to be a beautiful day full of sunshine which is a definite plus! In fact our forecast is looking like this will be our first week of possibly getting into the 90s. Once that happens I can't help but feel like summer has arrived... guess that means I should go dig out my swimsuit and make some time to hit the lake for a cool down. :)

I've got another simple card to share today and I made it completely out of things cluttering up my desk. This always means that it is high time for me to clean it off but that will just have to wait a bit longer. In the meantime, this becomes a fun personal challenge to use more stuff up and have less to put away later. I've noticed that I tend to rely on stickers quite a bit when whipping up a quickie, and there are plenty on this card too so it must be true. ;)
Looking at it now on the computer screen, the green photo corner stickers don't look like they coordinate at all but in real life I swear they look much better, LOL!
Anywho... I had gotten this new Little Heart Gorjuss Girl clear stamp from Sugar Nellie, because I have wanted a short haired GG forevah. But to be honest I wasn't crazy about the placement of her eyes... they looked too high up on her head for my taste. So I altered her a bit by wiping away the original eyes and tracing on new, lower ones with the light box. I was going to leave it at that but when I started coloring up her dress the color combo I was experimenting with was a total disaster and I ended up wiping the hearts off the skirt and stamping again... though I did a head swap so that I wouldn't have to color the entire image all up again. I was running out of time at this point and it saved time doing that and just coloring a simple white skirt.From no on I'll be sure to save the trying out of new color combos for when I have more time! LOL! :)

Well, that's all I've got for today... love ya later!
