Thank you

 Well, my week isn't going as planned...we have a couple sick grandchildren. We watched Ivan yesterday who was struggling with a cold. Today and for the rest of the week we have Weston who has pneumonia. I'm beginning to wonder if blogging is for me...no time.

I did make a card in between watching Ivan. He is still little enough and got to sit in my studio. 

I had pulled out my Storybook Moments DSP and had bits and pieces in there and put this card together. I used a Basic Beige card base and embossed another piece with the Exposed Brick EF. I really like the Banner Sayings bundle which is where the sentiment came from. I still have Storybook Moments paper spread out. I don't have much left and would love to use it up! My Silly Old Bear Suite arrived today. Pooh is in the house and I'm looking forward to having a play with those products...which I was NOT going to buy. 🤣 🤣🤣

Here's Ivan hanging out in my studio. 

Not sure when I'll be able to post again.

Happy Stamping!

Hi, Friend

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I had my crafty day with my crafty friends on Saturday. My BCFF (Best Crafting FriendForever) and SU! Upline shared the make-n-take. I wanted to share it here because it's so cute!

We used the Bloom Boutique DSP (coming May 5) and did some origami folding to get this cute little heart pouch. It holds a Ghirardelli chocolate square but I have a Bouchard chocolate in it. The oval die is from the Scalloped Wishes dies which are out of stock for the next month. 😠 We used the Daisy EF for the center of the oval. Cute idea. The little flowers are cut from the two tone cardstock in Crisp Cantaloupe and Hydrangea Hue using the  ??? not sure if it was Heirloom Boutique or Boutique Blossoms dies or neither. Just use a little die cut flower. 

Anyways, I thought it was fun and cute. I don't know where she got the idea but I'm glad she shared it with us and I am definitely going to make more of these!

Last week the hubs and I biked the Spring Water Corridor. It was okay. We're glad we did it but have no desire to do it again. Here's a couple pics.

It took us right down to the Willamette River in Portland. 

Happy Stamping!

Chapter One

No challenges today just a card. 

I colored the image from Unity's Chapter One stamp set using my SU! Blends. I matted it onto the dark side of Berry Burst two tone cardstock. I covered the card front using Unbounded Beauty DSP. A few sparkle gems completed the card. 

Happy Stamping!

Purr-fectly

 Have you ever made a card and then wanted to make like a dozen more because it was so fun and so cute?! Today's card is one of those cards for me.

This little fur baby makes me smile! And I just may make a dozen more! The kitty and sentiment stamps are from Unity's February KOM. I colored her using my SU! Blends and used a NND's oval die. The pretty musical note paper is from my stash. Everything went on an Azure Afternoon card base.

I'm playing along with the sketch from Sunday Stamps and The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe Challenge #779. I used the top row across and quite a few other elements on the board.

Well, I have a few more little Easter baskets to make today for my Bible study besties so I'd better set aside coloring kitties and get to work! It's a rainy day here so it's perfect for being in the studio!

Happy Stamping!
