Thanks.


So much for Mother Nature being generous to us. The weather took a down turn again and today it was rather chili. Of course, I would much prefer to enjoy 70F right now, but I know it is not realistic. I continue to have firm thoughts that soon it will be even better than that.

Nonetheless, I am thankful for the bit we got. Then, let's make a Thank you card. Yeah. Mojo Monday 445 has a great and simple sketch. I like those simple sketches. I used the soon to be retired Farmers Market dsp and the retired A Whole Lot of Lovely stamp set. The Chevron ribbons retired last year, and I was sad to see them go, but I have a few stashed away. I like the looks and texture of it. Pearls for the flowers and a perfect bow is all you need to polish up the looks.

Thank you for your visit today. I love to hear from you. Share the love. Be well

Lovely.


Beautiful weekend and busy getting come yard work done. It feels so nice to get outside, breath some fresh air, feel the warmth of the sun and enjoy my family. This was a lovely weekend.

I did not get much time to spend in my craft room. Worked all day outside on Saturday and took my daughter to a violin recital in the evening. We got to see Hillary Hahn play and it was so beautiful and smooth, surreal. Sunday was our usual rest day, but I got to make couple of cards. This one is for The Paper Players 292 and I want to send this to mother nature for giving us such beauty to enjoy. The stamp set is the A Whole lot of Lovely, which I framed in the circle layered in scalloped circle punches. That beautiful paper is Park Lane dsp, and I am glad I had a bit of it left. You see, you get this products that are ready to retire and you can enjoy them for a bit longer. Take advantage and get your favorites while they last.

Thank you for visiting today. I look forward to seeing you again. Be well

Mixed Seasons


I have been very happy with all the DSP from the Annual Catalog, not only because they are beautiful, but because I have been using them in a very diverse way.

And today I continue with that trend. The Merry Moments dsp served as the background for this Thank You card, that is not all that seasonal in looks. The sketch is from the Dostamper Stars challenge 148 and it was easy to pick the sentiment from A Whole Lot of Lovely hostess stamp set to fill the image panel of the sketch. The Curvy Corner Trio Punch came to the table and offered the beautiful touch to the corners. I love it.

Whole lot of Lovely Colors.



Lovely are colors the enrich our world and lives. I appreciate color and as I walk or drive around I like to observe the colors of nature and how certain combinations go so well together.  Do you like colors?

As I got looking at Dostamper Stars challenge 144, the image of nature came to mind. The greenery, the birds, flowers, butterflies, and all that is alive came to mind. Of course I wish to use hints of nature, then as I looked at my stamp sets I was totally drawn to the A Whole Lot of Lovely hostess stamp set and it was a short search for an image/sentiment, which was heat embossed in Calypso Coral. The background is from the Farmer's Market DSP and I used a bit of embossing for the banner strip, which was nicely cut using the Triple Banner punch. The circle was cut by placing two framelits together to get the open circle. A touch of flower and a bit of pearl and this card can now be giving to a lovely you!

Thank you for visiting today. Please come back again soon. Be well
