"Think like a proton. Always positive." — Unknown

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

I have this!


 I used a mouse from Stampendous: Friend Wishes. Colored with Ohuhu markers. The sentiment is Stampendous: You're the Icing. Paper, cupcake punch, stitched square die, are SU.

House Mouse & Friends Challenge #432 Anything Goes Option: Use an Embossing Folder

Seize The Birthday #297 Use Something New/ The mouse Image and sentiment are NEW!

Stamping Sensations January Anything Goes/ Option: Hand Colored Image

We Love Stamping Anything Goes/ Anything But a Square

Weather is a bit cold. Not the -30 we had for a stretch last winter, and seriously bit into the cherry crop! I have heard that if it happens this year, the cherry growers will be in trouble! We are -5 during the day, -10-12 at night. Supposed to last all week. I can live with that!

I had lunch with a GF today. The place we were at had peony buds poking through in a flower bed next to the building!

I am delighting in the few minutes daily of extra light!

Week 815 Close to Nature/ Anything Goes

Hello!

Hope you are well!

This is Week 815 over at Allsorts and Brenda is our host!

I made this.

 

I needed a Birthday card. This guy is Feathered Friend from Papertrey Ink. I cut him out of a gelli print. The EF I think is old from SU. The doily is SU. Die cut foliage is Spellbinders. With a kraft background, and Bite Me #1 Ephemera from AALL and Create. It says; Friendships must be built on a solid foundation of alcohol, sarcasm, inappropriateness, and shenanigans. 

Go see what the rest of the DT have created!

Prizes are A5 stamp sets from AALL and Create!

Creative Crafting Uncles #61 Happy Birthday

 Inspiration Station Challenge #69 Photo prompt I was inspired by the colors and the muted background

Triple B January 2025 Anything Goes as long as it has Birds, Blooms or Butterflies

I also made these. I'm sorry they are Christmas! Or, it's never too early to start Christmas cards!

 

I am still trying to use up the old Mercury Glass acetate I got quite a while ago from SU!

I found these cute Chickadee rub-ons, and they worked perfectly! On a white background! I had tried colored card stock, but ughh! The Rub-Ons are Royal Langnickel. I found a website here. The rub ons are OLD! The top card sentiment is from an unmounted grab bag from DRS Designs; which I see is now closed. Sentiment was embossed with gold EP. 

The bottom card EF folder is probably SU; the sentiment is!

“Start wherever you are and start small.” – Rita Bailey

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

I have A LOT of Christmas 'stuff' that needs a home (put away), so I made some of it into this card! If I make about 20 more cards, the 'stuff' won't need put away!


 It's an SU embossing folder with a Creative Expressions die cut sentiment.

Anyone else have a thought, cut things out or color them up, and leave them on your desk? My daughter calls it 'squirrel syndrome'.

I just realized I didn't show you the treat boxes I made my Scrabble group for Christmas.


I made the boxes with my box maker out of cardstock. Filled with assorted chocolate. Tied with twine, gold thread, a tag and a wooden snowflake. They were a big hit!

Have a fabulous rest of your week people!

Allsorts Week 814 Matching Pairs/ Anything Goes

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

It's Week 814 over at Allsorts, and Brenda would like to see matching pairs. I thought I would need dice, or playing cards stamps! There's the Anything Goes option too! 

I made a card with envelope! Not original I know, but I am used to just sticking washi tape on my envelopes, and calling it good!


I stenciled the panel with green, yellow and blue from SU. I used the Krafty  Kaleidoscope stencil from Kraftin' Kimmie! I then stamped in  grey the images from Crafter's Square. Topped that with the Fairy Foragers, and an SU sentiment in black.

3 prizes from Lavinia

 



Go see what the rest of the team have made!

Hello!

Happy New Year!

It's the 2nd of the month, so time to see who sent what to whom Over at the Card Chain Challenge

In December we had this to work with!

 GAIL's FIENDISHLY FESTIVE TIC TAC TOE

 

 

I am not afraid to tell you that this made me sweat; my eyes started twitching.......You get the idea!

However, when the postal strike ended, I sent my card  to Jo in the UK! 


I used the fourth line down and across.

Slimline, sleigh, stencil, sparkle and Santa.

The sleigh is Spellbinders, Delivering Joy. The front stencil is Whimsical Winds from Kraftin' Kimmie. Which I then pushed Nuvo glitter(sparkle) paste through! Cut the HO HO HO out of glitter(sparkle) paper! The big guy had to go on the inside, and him and the Merry Christmas is a Cottage Cuts Die (Retired). Still available here! Glittery(sparkle) snowflake inside, more stenciling, and a fun card!
