Saturday January 30th...

 I date my posts. Yes, FYI, I do date my posts as I hate looking at older blogs that haven't been active in 4-5 years. If I like something on the post and it is no longer available, it is annoying. On the other hand, some of the 'older' blogs feather artwork ideas posted that are awesome! I guess that just makes me wonder what happened to the artist and where they are now. So enough of that. Today is just a cute card from a Simon Says die set. Really like it, and as cute as it is, it could be used for a variety of occasions. 

                       Well, theres that... out of order again!!

                                Thanks for looking!

January 27th Wednesday

 Good morning. It is rainy here again. Its a good thing as we haven't had measureable rain for about 6 months! Going to try to share the other Whimsy stamps' Camping dragons' with a slimline die. Then I will try to finish up the 'dragon' theme with the other dragon called appropriately, Water dragon.

I used a Marianne die of the Adirondack chair and  the palm trees.

                               

                                   Lost a tree!!

                         This is it for the cute dragons this week!

                                   Thanks for looking!\

Tuesday!

 It is late according to Mary! Well, it is after dinner and into 'sit and veg' time. Just couple more with the Rubbernecker little 'Foxy 'stamp set  and Whimsy stamps 'Giraffes'. Used the copic markers to color, otherwise these were easy!

I had a couple more cute ideas to share tonight.

        Oh here is one of the Whimsy stamp 'Camping Dragons' Have another one of these done. Believe it or not the weather has been so overcast I haven't had a chance to photograph the cards this week

                                   Thanks for looking!

January

 Wow! January just keeps getting shorter & shorter or rather things are moving right along. Love it or hate it this is the way it is for 2021! I can't believe I haven't written since the first of the month. I can't think that our life has been so busy that I actually couldn't share something!! I ended with our Christmas tree. Wow again. Lets start by catching up on some of the cards I photographed. I thought these were cute & made a few.

                   My Favorite things 'fairy tales' and the dome is actually from Elizabeth Crafts.

             This was quick but hope you enjoy. Love making the little kid cards. Maybe a second childhood!!

                             Thanks for Looking,

Saturday!

 First blog of the year and I am still doing Christmas cards!! I would apologize, but I found a couple other blogs that added Christmas to the 'after holiday' menu! Our little tree is still up and I might like it up longer than I want to admit! I turn it on at 4AM, and it is so pretty.

                              Nothing else on but the coffee!

                  And here are the cards today. A My Favorite Things die. So easy with limitless possibilities. I watched 2 videos, both Laura Bassen and Ashley from MFT used strips of 1/2" wide paper. Here is the link to MFT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkXaixflsJQ

                                      

                   One artist applied her paper strips to the front of the card, and one artist applied hers to the back. Interesting. I know which one worked best for me! Each had different tips to share.

                   So that is it for this evening! Hope you enjoy.

                                Happy January!

Monday December 28th

 Just had to share a couple more Christmas cards! Absolutely love the Chubby Snowmen by Art Impressions. Couldn't stop making the 'slimline' cards. There are five different variations. I used Whimsy slim line dies for the cards. You have to look close at a couple, as the difference is in the coloring. Of course, I used my copics.

 

          The first one and this one are the same. Isn't that bunny precious?
 

            It looks like rain today and so my photos aren't as crisp as I would like. Just wanted to show you before we forgot the Christmas season!
