texture-palooza

i wish i could explain the level of stress and amount of work i've recently been handed at my job...let's just say, it's quite high.

because of that, i haven't been crafty for a long time - too long! and when i did manage to eek out few minutes to myself to get crafty, i just wasn't feeling it (i'm still too stressed and consumed with work, to concentrate on important things like crafty time!).

this is unacceptable!! ha ha! so i MADE time for myself today! and i got crafty! yahoo!!

the picture inspiration at paper smooches sparks helped - um, it's simply lovely and wonderful!

i had this idea right away, it was just a matter of finding time (and the will power!!) to follow through!

see? lots and lots of texture! love it! i reused a portion of a cardboard box (love that look!), the sentiment is glossy accented, and then glittered! (hmm, guess i could have stickled, now that i think of it, to save time...but i didn't! lol! sigh, see how out of practice i am?!)

i paper-pieced the white accents onto the little monster (btw, one of my favorite images EVER! i think i've used that little guy 14592784620 times! ha!) from 'falling for you'. i also used some viva pen action for the puffy white dots. the sentiment and heart are images from 'word salad'. i just love paper smooches' sentiment stamp sets! (woah! holy accidental alliteration batman!)

ok, this post has gone wonky, i think i'm out of practice! lol!

enjoy!
