I'm loving this new set from Concord & 9th! It's an interactive card that makes it so easy with these die cuts!!

Friend (Limes and Lemons)

Tomorrow I will have my very first craft show where I will try and sell some cards. I've been stamping for 30 years and have never attempted this. So wish me luck!! It's only for 2 hours and I will be with other businesses so it will be a good test for other craft shows to come over the holidays.

2024 Calendar

 As You Like It - Favorite non-card project and why (I make these 4x6 calendars every year Christmas for my 3 friends. They change them out each year in a hanging frame I got them years ago. I love them because they are fun to make and they love them too and do truly bring them lots of joy) I usually start working on them in the summer since they take me awhile to make them. This was my calendar for this year.

Big Hugs

I did a Concord & 9th summer card class and this is one of the dies in the set. You would think this would be an easy card but lining up those little lines and coloring each a different color took some time!!

We have Emily's dog here for 8 days while she is in Africa and with the fireworks last night, he was shaking like a leaf. I had to sleep with him in the guest bedroom and we finally both fell asleep at 1 am. They were so loud on the street behind us. With it being so dry (no rain), I can't believe all the people who shot them off, especially when it's illegal in NC. Oh well. 

Just Add Ink - Challenge #709 Color

Bird stamp by Repeat Impressions

May Your Merry be Very

My first Christmas card of the season!! I used a sprinkles stencil by Taylored Expressions to put on the background using Hero Arts white ink, although it looks pink on the red background. I fluffed up the fringe but it's hard to tell on the tree. It's a really easy card to make and I got it in their sale at the end of last year so I never made any cards with it until now.
