This has been a busy and exceptionally good month! Doug and his family came for a visit just because they had vacation time. The weather was snowy but luckily, they made it safely here and back. Saturday we had Stacy, Ben and their kids. Doug brought our grandson Zack. Then of course Dawn & Diana. All total 15 for barbeque in the rain! I take a ton of pictures, yet it is all good if I get one winner.

 I haven't edited most of the pictures from my phone, but this one is definitely a good one! Now we will get to the pictures ...........

          Stamperia designer paper. Quick, easy and versatile. 

I can still add greetings 

Thanks for looking!!

 Next 'share ready to go!! Another Tim Holtz 'Celebrate" colorize die and a zillion stripe backgrounds! You know how I like to use OLD stamps, Old dies, anything that I have had for another zillion years! Well, this time it is the paper STRIPS. Not even old paper, old and non-useable (Is that a word?) paper strips. I got out the OLD paper cutter and started cutting the 1" or odd size strips into about 1/2" strips. Wow what a project! 

No rhyme or reason. I like bright colors. I think next time I might choose some softer colors. Remember, I was working with the scraps already 'scrappy'. Ha.

 Here is a couple cards I did with the stripe background. 

                  So I do have a couple more cards to add, but my computer or the powers that dictate keep asking me to add a disc. Guess what, it was never moved. So it just freaked out. I will try to edit this asap.

                                       Thanks for looking!

 Still playing 'catch-up'. The next few cards are new from Kristina Werner. 

Easy cut, versatile card again. There are probably 4 cards here that are different. Really! I used the kraft or white base paper, different designer papers (ink-blended), and then the dies varied from ivory to white cardstock. 

    Wish I had made some yellow or orange. Maybe I'll do more of these cards. Nice for the nursing homes or a package of cards for someone else as a gift.

                                          Thanks for looking!

 I'm going out on a limb here! Doing two posts in one night. Hopefully these will be easy and edited, and my format stays intact! 

             So simple, so versatile! Love Uniko stamps and stencils. The stencil is the Mid-Century stars & circles. The sign stamp set is the Mid-century Modern frames set. There are 3 frames in the set.     

 Just felt bad that I only stenciled this one one time. The stencil used on the card below is the Modern background builder.

 Used the monochrome colors. Thought it was okay for a man.

                       Next one is browns too. Maybe a guy, maybe a woman?? I tried the zentangles in the center of the design.

                                        

                                        

                                         Thanks for looking!

 So sorry about the silence. I am trying to think of an excuse, but just time eluded me throughout February! Thats about all I can come up with!! Lets get started! Here are a few miscellaneous cards. Not sure where this Happy 'coverplate' is from, the butterflys are Gina k.

Next two are Unity 'ity bittys' 

 Not sure about the next stamp set. But they are pretty funny

This is the Wendy Vecchi cake. It is really cute as opposed to the picture?)  

Maybe the next one is clearer. I wanted to make more!

                      The balloons are a layered stencil & the birthday card is a 'cake' card front from Creative Expressions.  Just a few extras for today. Tomorrow I will add some 'collections' that are newer.           

                                               

                                        Thanks for looking!

Been almost a month since I sat down and blogged!! These are some random cards that were half-finished. Just decided to get them done. The one with the sunflower is a 'better press' die from Spellbinders and it is stunning! Be nice if I did more than one!!

 The pink combo was featured using a stamp set that I got from Ali, so I am not sure where it came from. The arches are from Spellbinders. Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.

 .                                                     

            Grateful for every little thing. Maybe LDRS stamps

This set had a 3-D basket die & all these gorgeous flowers. Got it for Christmas and have no idea who made it.  Pretty just as a card. I left the black card without a sentiment until I decide whom to send it to.

Love this little set. It is an extra card made from the 2024 advent calendar. #8.

           Hope you are staying warm

Thanks for looking!
