SC300 - Afraid of Sponging!

While this week's SCS SC was relatively easy, I decided to challenge myself by working with my sponges. I love this look but find it very intimidating! (I even sponged the felt snowflakes and the LA!)

SC300

Positive note of the day: Look at my ham Ave! She is getting more of a personality every day as she chats more, walks more and, much to the delight of the WJs, screams more!

I knew she would blossom when the season was right. What a joy she is.

I can't believe anything would intimidate you! You're such a brave soul. Great job with the sponging. I love sponging and the warmth it gives - I need to quit being lazy and use it once in a while. Such an adorable photo of Ave. She is an amazing little thing.

Little Ave is getting to be a clown Mama! So very cute!

Loved this little doggie image and the sketch/DPis great too. Sponging is hard to get into the swing of, but it sure adds alot. Great job!
