CC&S #402

 

Hello! I hope you are all doing good. I'm exhausted, but I did that to myself. For the last few months I've been taking aqua boot camp ( high intensity aqua aerobics) , I was really struggling with feeling depressed ( I work in healthcare, stressful) . I really enjoy it, and have made some great new friends. Don't worry it's really safe, temp checks, more than 6 feet apart, plus in a millions gallons of chlorinated water. Well in today's class I flipped off my noddle ( floating device) and my glasses went to the bottom of the pool. The lifeguard went to get them for me. A friend from class is having breast cancer surgery, so I made this for us all to sign and then send to cheer her up. The floral image is Altenew , sentiment is hero arts. Thanks for stopping by today. 

CC&S #401

 Hello! Welcome back , I hope everyone is doing well. What's been happening with me since I last posted? Well I still haven't cleaned or organized my craft room... maybe soon. I got the vaccine, broke out in hives, but still going to get the 2nd dose. I am OVER this and want to do my part to get it over with quicker. So I hope to be able to create more this year, last year I was in a slump. I used the frayed edge stencil from TE and ink blended the 2 blue tones for the background, splattered some white paint over it added the bear and sentiment from Altenew then a couple red hearts and card base to bring in the 3rd color. Thanks for stopping by today. 

The Holly and Ivy Christmas challenge #85

 Hello! This will be our last challenge for 2020 and as always it's an anything goes challenge. I saw that video by JM and paused it to purchase these memory box dies... I love the shadow box look. I used some alcohol inks on glitter paper for the background. I hope you all have a wonderful and healthy holiday season , may 2021 be much better for us all. 

CC&S #400

 Hello! Well we made it to the final challenge of 2020.. let's get this year over please. For this week's challenge we are revisiting either a previous sketch or colour challenge and making it a Christmas card. I went back to challenge #378 for these colors. I love this layered tree die from Pretty Pink Posh, I made it in a few colors . I hope you all have a healthy and happy holiday season and that 2021 is better for us all. 

CC&S #399

 Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I have still been hard at work on Christmas cards (sold more of what I made to send out) , still have a  ways to go. I really liked working with these soft colors this week. Thanks for stopping by. 

THAIC #84

 Greetings! I hope you are all well and healthy. We are planning a quiet Thanksgiving holiday with just myself , hubby and our sons (just those in our house) . I need to get busy making more Christmas cards as I once again sold all of my cards I've made this year..... I knew this would happen and should have planned better. Please joi us for another Anything goes challenge. Thanks for stopping by. 

CC&S #398

 Hello! I hope you all are doing well since last week. I once again sold all of the Christmas cards I made throughout the year (on a Christmas card DT also) ... this happens to me every year and then I'm scrambling to get mine made and out in a timely manner. So no matter the challenge I'll be making a Christmas card. I used a stencil for the trees and snow on the trees , some white splatters and then the sentiment is Gina K. Simple and easy to mass produce. Thanks for popping in today.
