Thursday March 21st

 Good morning!! Lets just get started. I have a couple collections to share today. These cards are shaped cards. Just liked them better this way than attached to a bigger card. Anyway, as always when I like something I do a bunch!! 

                 The first card is the inside. OOps... the next cards are a large die from Gemini. They had 'happy' and 'love'. I did get the 'love'. I think the critter here is a digital stamp.

 Didn't want the pink one to look girlish... maybe it would be better that way. At the very least I need to straighten the sentiment!

Easy to make, designer papers, flowers, critters and more

 Thanks for looking!

Monday March 11th

 Planning to do a bit of catch up today. First I will share some older or pre-made images. I love it when I use the either old stamps, old wooden stamps, premade embossing folders, or say mixed media backgrounds. All of which I have bags and boxes to the ceiling!!

These are two different die sets & I have no idea what company made them. I only know this because of the different leaves on the sets

 Next is the embossing folders. I was so excited to pull 7 from the bags of many.  Most are 2-D, and just happened to match the already stamped, colored, & die cut bouquet images from Pinkfresh Studio.

 Oh wait, I don't know who did the wreath die. Just laying in a pile.

There are several white on white cards that are beautiful, but I guess my lack of props  (lace, flowers, inks, dies, coffee cups, duh), doesn't really help. Although they are simple and could have any greeting added to them.

Swirl embossing folder

This isn't an embossing folder, this is a punch border. Yes, we have a box of those too! 

Roses embossing folder, embossed in gold. Just laying there....

 A ton of colored & uncolored butterflies. You will see more of these! 

 

 These are newer 3-D folders. Memory box

 

Have no idea what I used on these. Maybe gilding paste. 

 

Thanks for listening & looking!

Saturday March %th

Just a couple cards to share. These are from the 2023 Advent calendar from Spellbinders. The cute whale was day #24.  He is so easy to create a cute card. I added waves from a Pocketful of Happiness c wave cover die. I want to make this again!

              The next one is a small square die with a background piece & extra star flowers.

                            

             The tile is from day #21 & the Thinking of you is day #23.

  Last one for today. Could be a holiday 'birthday'. I opted not to add a word until I needed it. That is a 'punched' edge. Who does that anymore??

                          

                                        Thanks for looking!

Saturday Mar 2nd

 Woo hoo! Started off today at 5:30 am outside taking pictures of the snow! I don't think I've seen snow for about 20 plus years. When we first got to Nevada in 1999 might have been the last time. Lucy has never seen snow and she is 5 now. 

Car (above) and side shot of the front yard The bush was really heavy and it was snowing hard! The next one is a streetlight and snowflakes!

 One more in the backyard. And then Lucy from the bed in her room.

 She barked at it when she did go out for a split second. She was careful not to touch it. 

                   Probably about 7:00. A little more day light here. 

                          

       Hope you enjoyed. It is 39 degrees now at 4:00pm & it is nearly                                      gone. Maybe tomorrow!!
