Pumpkins Halloween

10:56 AM | Edit Post

 CT tag & timeline featuring the art of Anna Liwanag 

using her oh so spooky cute tube 68-2. I am also

showcasing the fantastic scrap Pumpkins Halloween

by Karmalized Scraps. It's perfect to help you

decorate your tags for halloween. 

She's ready to trick or treat. Or maybe she 

is waiting to hand out the treats at her house.

The kids always love seeing her decorations 

every year. Its the most decorated house

in the neighborhood after all.

Any resemblance to another

type out your wording along the circle. Use words that fit your tag/tube.

Breathe

10:22 PM | Edit Post

 Light.

Grey.

Darkness.

Slivers of light.

Peeking in -

Shattering the darkness.

Breathe.

Reaching up 

or out -

can't tell. 

Reaching for the light.

No!

Darkness disappears.

Surrounded by light.

Too much!

Blinded! 

Chasing & reaching!

For the darkness..

for solace, comfort.

Finding the grey.

Finding familiarity

of light & darkness.

Here both exists.

Here...

I.

Can.

Breathe.

Succulent Fox

6:48 PM | Edit Post

 CT tag & wallpaper featuring the oh so magically cute

art of Sheena Pike with her tube 44-2. I am also showcasing

the lovely IB Sheena Pike 44-2 Scrap by Gimptastic.

The wallpaper is 1920x1080 & available here for download.

This curious little fox loves to play & nap among the succulents.

I think he's just been woken up from one by accident.

Be sure to give him a pet or two & let him drift 

back off to sleep.  He means no harm after all.

Petals & Books

8:54 PM | Edit Post
CT tag featuring the gorgeous art of Keith Garvey using his tube 59-3.
I am also showcasing the oh so pretty Charity Dauenhauer  July 2020
IB by Karmalized Scraps. Surrounded by two of her favorite
things, petals & books make her smile. She loses herself
in the books while smelling the sweet flower petals.
Perhaps she is reading poetry by her favorite poet.
