Unstoppable Groundhog

      If you saw my post yesterday, I'm sure you think I'm obsessed with that sparkly, copper-colored, ribbon but I actually selected the ribbon and made the bow for this card a month or more ahead of yesterday's card.  It's really just a coincidence that the two card are being posted on consecutive days.  

     The sentiment seems to fit my life, at least where big things are concerned.  I can get started on small projects (breathing, getting out of bed, taking a nap) but the big things (Should I be adventurous and get dressed?  Should I just stay in my PJs all day?) take much more effort and it's often difficult to actually get started. 

     While I have no idea who created this fun and funny groundhog because a friend stamped it and sent it to me along with about a half dozen others all featuring the odd animal, the sentiment says it all as far as I'm concerned.  :-D


Colored with ProMarkers; image and frames cut with dies from Spellbinders & QuicKutz.  The papers are all scraps and are from a Jillibean Soup stack.  The smaller scraps have been punched on 3 sides with a Fiskars border punch.  I've already explained about the bow and that ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

A really super image and some great background papers, super sentiment. Some fun decisions too. Mine would be 'should I put my bra on or not bother'. Thank you for joining our 'Wings/Anything Goes' challenge at We love Chocolate Baroque.
