Dance Like There's No Tomorrow

     When I was young and growing up as the youngest girl in the family, I had many fears about looking foolish if I didn't do things 'perfectly' and look good doing it.  lol  I see now how silly it was to expect perfection from myself, especially if it was my first time doing something, but it took a warm and wonderful person to say to me, "You need to always dance like there's no tomorrow; otherwise you'll never get to experience the fun things because you're spending all your hours trying to master them before your enjoy them."

    Here's to the fun of dancing!  Image is from LeAnn's World for their Progressive challenge.

Dance on Your Birthday

      It feels like forever since I used an AuroraWings image and I'd almost forgotten how wonderful they are to color.  I really wish the sparkle in the ribbon had photographed better but I guess you'll just have to take my word for how bright and blingy it is.

I started with the sketch from Sweet Sketch Weds.,

turned a quarter turn.

Last Dance

     Today's card is for yet another of my favorite progressive challenges; this one at the Sasayaki Glitter FB challenge.  I used lots of gray on it so that I could enter it into their blog challenge also.  What could be cuter than chameleons dancing on a summer beach 'til the sun comes up?

I used the sketch from MojoMonday 

and this is their last challenge.

Sadly, they are closing.

     Those cute dancing lizards are colored with ProMarkers, then cut with a die from Sue Wilson.  The zig zag pattern across the middle of the card was cut with a die from CCC Designs.  I added sparkly rhinestones to both the top and bottom corners but left it rather plain after that since, once again, this is a card which has to be mailed.
