A break, finally.

Dear friends and readers,

Oh my, it has been a long time since I posted anything here for you. The remodeling is in the final stages, with detail work now to be completed. The kitchen is fully operational, so I am happy with that. Little time has been spend in my craft room, but I manage some here and there.

This week I was able to get in the craft room and work a bit. I got my new supplies and was looking forward to using them. The cad below is what I crated for the DoStamper Stars 245.


The new set Seasonal Lantern is stunning and I could not wait any longer to put it to use. I like the colors of the challenge and decided to go with a Holiday Theme. A super easy card that was made even more beautiful by the embossing of both the Menorah and the sentiment. I did fussy cut the Menorah and added a dimensional to put in a bit of 3d. Love the result and hope it will inspire you today.

Thank you for your visit. Be well

Miriam

Am I out yet?

It has been an eternity since I posted anything. My life is consumed by the renovation of our kitchen, but, I must say, we are very happy as it is turning out. We have the kitchen fully functional now, but there are lots of details to finish up. Our dining room is getting a fresh coat of paint and then we need to tidy things up. My mother has also decided to come visit us at the end of the month, so I have a big incentive to finish it all up.

I have snicked around to get some "me" time in my craft room and it felt so wonderful to have that time to create. Today I prepared a card for Dostamper Stars 243 and I used the Coffee Break DSP for the background and for the image I use the Jar of Love stamp set and matching framelit. The card has a neutral feel to it, so it can easily be used for a male friend too. I was about to add some rhinestone and flowers, but liked the more organic nature of the card, so I left it alone.

Life will soon resume to normal. I will have my mother visiting, we will start school, the renovation will be completely done, and I will be spending more time with you too. Until then, know that I have appreciated your support, friendship, and understanding. Be well

Miriam
