Etsy: Today’s word prompt on 365 cards is “Steam” so I thought of coffee and a hot bath ~ ahhhh -then I thought of this hot air balloon….steam – hot air…?!

Today on 365 cards the word prompt is “Hat”. I thought of this terrific “we three cat’s” stamp by Stampendous. I think these felines look fabulous with their colored rhinestone hats.

On the Less is More blog the theme this week is butterflies. I combined challenges with today’s 365 cards which is to think “ruffles”. I thought this image had a vintage feel to it, so in keeping with the collage theme I added a lace ruffle to the side and a wonderful charm that reads […]
