I'm Moving!

Thank you to everyone who has come by to check out my crafts or simply support me!

I am having  a major problem with this site. If you've tried to reach me, directly,  at this URL address and got the notice that this blog didn't exist, I apologize.
I'm just as confused as you are, because all other means produces it.

Therefore I am relaunching at www.toad-lycrafty2.blogspot.com
So meet me over there from now on...

Cheers,
Dara

Cuttlebug Spot Entry #2

This is my second entry, my TOPIARY which really does have BUTTONS EVERYWHERE!

Cuttlebug Spot Challenge

 Okay so I haven't learned to trust myself with busy or heavy embellishments. This week the cuttlebugspot has a challenge called "Buttons, Buttons everywhere.
So the idea is to use buttons on your craft.
Well I'm submitting my very simple card with my button being the star...
I think it would work great as a note card, to just let someone know they're being thought of.

Mojo Monday 182

This is my card for the sketch for MOJO Monday 182. I didn't get to actually make this card until today and the challenge had already closed. I didn't allow that to stop me from challenging myself. Because I haven't been making cards that long, I try to get all of the practice that I can. So thanks to the ladies over there at MOJO... If you have the chance, go by there and check them out. I want to also say thank you to Patrice over at "My Little Patch of Dirt" for letting me know that the challenge isn't in the competing as much as it is the accomplishment!

And yes, I chickened out with my sentiment! I had no clue as to the type of card it should be. It just looks very serious!

The ribbon is from The Ribbon Boutique. I used My Swiss dot embossing folder (again) Lol! The stamp is from Paper Studios.

It is 12:08 a.m. , actually 1:08 a.m. because of DST! I can't belive I stayed up completing this card for this challenge. I'm proud to say I love it and it was so worth it. I hope it inspires someone to just do something that you love.
A big thank you to Selene at Stamping 411, she's the nicest person I've never met, Seriously I didn't have a clue about loading my blog for these challenges but she "Toad-ly" came through for me! LOL, a little corny...





So I started to look around at some of the blogs I love and found that this card was able to fit in two (2) challenges. How abou that. So this card works for the color challenge for  "411" and the sketch challenge for "Sketch Frenzy" I'm being challenged all over the place. Hmm, maybe I'll blog about that next week, over at "Appreciating Pickles"
