Be teachable. You're not always right.

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

The title reminds me of our family....You're entitled to your opinion. Doesn't mean you're right. Haha

Anyhoo, my moms friend mails her a package of newspaper clippings every month. The package usually includes different napkins. 

I thought this one was pretty, so I made one to send moms friend, and this card for my mom.


I used the napkin technique.

This is the one I sent moms friend.

 

The greeting is really a soft pink like the card base, the same color as the first card! I added the butterfly.

I am linking the first card up at:

Beautiful Blossoms #4 - Anything Goes Florals with Optional Mood Board

Double Trouble #136 - Celebrate a Special Lady/ Flowers/ and they're partnering with Beautiful Blossoms April 15-27

Snippets Playground #452 - does 1/4 of a napkin count as a snippet?

The Paper Funday #52 - Anything Goes with Optional Twist: Flower Power

Triple B April Challenge - Birds, Butterflies and Blooms

That's all I got!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe!

Hello!

Hope you are well!

I have been making cards and watching Netflix....you know, cause I have time now! Haha

I get my work for the day done, then come play.

So we have discussed this before, all the fun stuff in my craft stash. A LOT I have never played with. 

Here's more!


 I used a glitter paste. I had glitter and paste all over. My stencil didn't come clean, and I washed it right after I was done. Anyhoo, I know it's on black. but it's real sparkly IRL! That's why I wanted the jewel tone behind it. The butterflies are velum and I added a few sparkly jewels! The inside says It's your day to sparkle!

While it was fun, and messy, some of my stencils are a cardboard; they must be one use? I will try and let you know. I have other pastes and 'stuff', just never played with them. 

I have one grad card made....need 2 more. I have a nephew graduating grade 12, and Bryson is graduating kindergarted!

I am taking mom to an appointment tomorrow. The info says she could be there for 4 hours, so am taking my crocheting! I'm on my fourth bag holder.

I DID make  set of these cute produce bags. 

That are acting weird and are waaaay at the bottom of the page!

Better go.

Stay safe!

Talk to ya later!
