Wednesday Wowzer is back!

Hello Everyone!
It is me, Jeannie.  I am back today with a fun project I hope will get your attention!
I am using products from a fabulous kit from Clear Scraps February Kit club.

This little project I've made is a home decor piece.

I am using the itty bitty Unity set called You Make me Mushy.


This is done on a leftover 6 x 6 acrylic page I had from February's kit.


I also used some Inktense pencils to shade the mushrooms.  I am hooked in those pencils after my first use,


Don't you love how colorful and happy this looks?



A special thank you to Jamie for my mushroom embellishment on top.  I only use them on the most special of projects!


I hope you like this!  It's good to be back making things!
I will be back next week with another WOWZER!  Until then!
Ta ta for now!
This has been Jeannie from The Polka Cabana with today's I Heart Ippity's post.

Love & Bravery

READY for some LOVE and BRAVERY? - EVERY THURSDAY unity strums up a little somethin' to keep things exciting. THIS WEEK is ALL ABOUT showing love and BEING BRAVE! :) NEW RELEASES - SELECTED KITS UNDER $12 - and a SPECIAL DONATION made by YOU and UNITY for our Brave Girls' Club - Melody Ross and her BEAUTIFUL WORK in this WORLD. ♥ ♥ ♥












I really love the Jars of Love x3 Stamp Set& with the Love & Bravery Sale!
I thought I would show you what I have done with the stamp set.
Now I am not a very good colorer (is that a word?)
I am playing with watercolors and although my end result is NOT magazine/print ready
it is my own little masterpiece that will be appreciated by family & friends should hey receive it.

I kept it very simple & clean focus on the stamp instead of excess paper/embellishments.

Be sure to HOP on over to Unity Stamp Co and check out the SALE

You're Toadilly Cool!


SKU: IB-BB-367. Category: ,.







The way this card turned out was NOT my intention.. But sometimes when failures happen
it is a good thing..

Kraft Cardstock
Me & My Big Ideas Patterned Cardstock
Prima Stickers
3 Girl Jam Buttons
3 Girl Jam Burlap
Pinque Peacock Flower
Marvy Uchida 2 1/2 in Circle Punch
TH Distress Ink Vintage Photo

My intention was to punch through the cardstock a complete circle to see the frog underneath.
However my punch would NOT punch through the strips of patterned paper
I do like the end result like a little peek a boo of the cute froggy image.

Thanks for stopping by and have a FABULOUSLY Crafty Day!

Also just a NOTE to THANK all of my Followers on my Blog and or Facebook! I took a hiatus after my car accident I just couldn't sit for long periods and had ZERO motivation to clean my craft room or to even craft. I have been in physical therapy since my accident and just had an MRI .. My results will be given to me on Monday but they are saying my injuries are worse than my brother in law's (he was in the car with me at the time) and did I want to start the Spine Med Table treatment. I am holding off on that until i speak directly with the Doctor to see what exactly is my diagnosis.

So Thank You for hanging in there with me while my Blog stayed Blank and my Facebook Page was empty, thank you for coming back and posting wonderful comments on projects as I post them. I am getting back into my crafting as well as my blog hopping/comment leaving/facebook stalking   stopping/shopping
so happy to be Creating again, it REALLY does make me HAPPY!
