Saturday July 5th

 Happy July!! And, of course Happy Independence Day to America! 

We have huge news and we have been super busy. We sold our house in ONE day. Yes, and we have to find a place, and close in 30 days. The stress is crazy! We lost one offer, so starting over......... Actually, it could be a blessing as the bathrooms in the one we made the offer on were not much bigger than the size of a closet. There wasn't a garage and yes, we need one desperately. We will see what happens this week.

                   Lets get started with my new addiction! It is the Seth 
Apter dies. They are contemporary shapes and sizes, could look ethnic or pretty. Yes, they are versatile. Perfect for those masculine cards.

I just cut like a madwoman any and every scrap and more scraps. I spread them all over the kitchen counter and started arranging them in whatever pleasing pattern. Most of the bases are 6x6 black. The next layer is whatever big ugly paper (5 3/4 square) that got sprayed, stenciled and stamped. I did round the corners on a couple.

I love the oxide and the mica sprays! 

 This one has a purple shadow behind. Going for a softer look.

Thanks for looking
