Fusion + CASology



Hello crafters...

Wow has it been a long time since I have blogged or much less crafted. Some of you may have noticed my absence the past 11 months. Why you may ask? Because the hubby and I had a little bambino! He is a doll and we are having so much fun with him.


Alright on to a card I made for the latest Fusion ombre challenge and CASology sea challenge. I was so inspired by the blue ombre cake image from the Fusion theme and thought that it would work well with a sea theme. Since I've been dying to ink up this cute little whale, I was itching for a reason to use it!

Thank you so much for visiting. I want to leave you with a little pic of our new addition Max.

As for your card? Well, you certainly haven't gotten rusty while you've been away - this is gorgeous! Love the ombre pattern behind that cutie pie whale. Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!

Congratulations!!!! I am so thrilled for you. Max is beyond adorable!!!! Love the name too, and I just want to kiss those darling cheeks. Love your new profile photo, too. You make a great pair. :) I'm so glad your back. I've missed your cards....like this super cute one! The blue ombre water looks awesome. Off to tend to my little ones...but not before stealing one last look at your adorable baby. He looks so huggable...just the way I like them. :)
