Well, my crabby card has a story behind it!  I have been feeling very depressed this past week. Everyone is doing their own thing and I’m staying behind at home! Ugh.. They say go do something! I’m like what!? IDK! I don’t have friends to do stuff with. My 2 besties live in other states!  Hmmm My  friends that live here  don’t scrap and they have their own things. I’m not a very social person. For a minute there I was thinking I had agoraphobia! I fear social setting at times.. hate having to talk to people and thinking hmm what do I say? will I be all duh! LOL I’ve been like this since little.. 

Well back to my card.. so I woke up Saturday morning and decided to make this card!! VERY TRUE. I gotta stop being so crabby! LOL

I used create a critter for the crab and sand castle.  The face is from Everyday Characters faces from Peachy Keen.  Thing is the eyes were originally too close like a normal person face.. So what I did I inked the face..took off the other eye and mouth, stamped then did the same for the other eye…making sure I put proper spacing between eyes. then inked the mouth and nose.  I think it turned out cute!! Also, my 1st time doodling and using those dots with white gel pen! Also, for the cloud background, I embossed a white cardstock with powder blue mixed with white embossing powder to give it a cloudy blue color to it.  Ya can’t really see it in the photo but it looks cool!    hope you like sorry for the long explanation!

    The face turned out excellent! I also love the castle!!

    After reading your post I had to check out your profile to see where you are from because I am in the same boat you are in. I don't know anyone in my area to scrap with. While reading your profile I almost busted a gut because you say you like country music and listening to Howard Stern. Totally opposite ends of the spectrum. ROTFLMBO You can move to Nebraska and we can be scrap buddies. :-)

    Precious Hugs
