A Confession

Yes, I have a confession. An addiction, really. I am addicted to Words with Friends on Facebook and it has taken time away from my crafting. You might be laughing but it is true! I used to post every single day, sometimes two and three times a day. Now I am lucky to get the cards done for the design teams I am on!  I am really going to cut back on my game time and try to focus on my cards and scrapbooking. My goal is to make at least 4 projects a week for right now and hopefully add to that in the future. We shall see how that goes. :)  I decided to ease my way back in with a simple card for CASology, The Friday Mashup and CAS(E) this Sketch

The challenge at the Friday Mashup was to use markers in some way and texture.  I, of course, pulled out my favorite marker tool, the Color Spritzer!
I love the dotted clouds on this embossing folder!  I spritzed a background with Marina Mist and then ran a second sheet of Whisper White through so I could cut out some white clouds and pop them up on dimensionals.
