CC&S #406

 


Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I've been busy trying not to freeze. We are a couple days into an artic freeze here.. it's awful. So I made my card this week something that warms my heart.. mythical creatures. This adorable stamp came out on leap day and I had to have him. I opted to flip the sketch to better fit how I wanted him to float in the clouds. This made me happy to create, crafting has been a real struggle this pass year.. as I'm sure it has for others. I've been saving tons of ideas on pinterest and instagram in hopes it sparks some creativity. I hope you all are safe and warm where ever you are. Thanks for stopping by today.

 Hello! I hope you are all doing well. We finally finished digging out from a big snow storm . So it feels like Christmas time here. The background for this card was created using a Newton's nook stencil, the circle and reindeer die as well as the sentiment strip are SSS. This is one I could mass produce very easily, which is what I need . Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I hope this groundhogs day finds you all doing well. I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone with my card making this year. Normally if there is a green of any sort in the colour challenge I do some sort of floral ...not today. This stamp/die/stencil combo is from Taylored expressions, I love their stuff. So much so I'm a  super fan (means I've spent $$$ on their products ). LOL!! I hope you will join the fun and share your card with us. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I am longing for spring , so I made a spring colored card this week. I used alcohol pearl inks to make the rainbow . I've been trying to make more cards to mail to friends recently, to cheer people up. Also  I finally got around to better organizing my craft spot ( small area in our basement). I don't know why I saved so many tiny scraps of paper? Well I tossed them . Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I hope you are all doing well. I hope your holidays were good. I'm starting on Christmas early this year and with my card class ladies too. I teach a mother and daughter card making when it's safe to do so and both have said this year we need to work on Christmas all year . We all were scrambling to get cards together to send out. I I love snowmen , so when I came across this die set I had to have it. This is my 1st slim line card (a bit of trouble photographing sorry). It wasn't too difficult and I will likely make this at a class soon. Don't worry , I'm not exposing the mother to anything. I've had both doses of the vaccine as I'm a healthcare worker and so has her daughter. We do sit at her larger kitchen table safely spaced too. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I've been a bit off for the last few days. I had my 2nd dose of the vaccine last week and I've been exhausted ever since. I know it's a side effect, hopefully it eases up soon. Again this week with another get well card. I have a coworker having surgery today and she will be out for months. She loves my cards, so I'm sure this will brighten her day. Thanks for stopping by today.

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.
