Lighten Up ~ Great things will happen!

 

Disse morsomme fiskene så jeg i en av Sandy Allnocks youtube videoer, og også hos Julia Altermann her & her. De er så utrolig flinke å fargelegge ♥ 
..Og selvfølgelig måtte jeg jo bare ha dem! :) Har dere også det sånn? Ser noen lage et kort og 'bare-må-ha' stemplene & produktene de bruker? Jeg er iallefall veeeldig skyldig i dette.. Spesielt når jeg ser på Jennifer McGuire! Oi Oi Oi så mange ganger jeg shoppet masse flotte ting og tang ~ og MYE som jeg enda ikke har brukt ;)

Nyttårsforsett: Bruke mere av de tingene jeg har ~ og gi bort det som jeg har for mye av eller vet jeg ikke kommer til å bruke... SE BLOGCANDY'ene jeg har her! ♥

Theese superfunny fishies I saw in one of Sandy Allnocks youtube videos, and also on Julia Altermanns youtube channel here & here. They are fantastic artists, both so awesome at coloring ♥ .. and ofcourse then I just gotta have 'em! Do you also have that urge sometimes? Seeing someone create a card and just immediately must have the stamps n products they are using? I am definitely guilty in this.. Especially Jennifer McGuire is my always-enabler! WOW.. I can't count the times I've rushed to shoppe all fabulous crafty stuff ~ but only actually ended up using a fraction of ;)

NewYears resolution: Use more of the stuff I own ~ and try parting with some of the stuff I have too many of or ones I know I'll never use... SEE THE BLOGCANDY giveaways here! ♥
