2020 wow, that feels weird.
I ran out of thank you cards - and that is a blessing that I have thank you's to send out. I took some inks and a new Altenew stamp set (Wildflower Garden) with me to Ohio where hubs and I spent Christmas with his family. It was a lovely relaxing 10 days...but not once did I open that crafty bag to play. I read books, cooked a bit, enjoyed family time, and slept. YES, slept a normal schedule and it seems to be continuing now that we are back home.
I made 9 cards assembly line style (thank goodness for the misti), and it took me half a day. I really had a hard time getting back into the cardmaking after being away from it for almost 2 weeks. The sentiment is placed on 3 layered oval punches.
I am entering the card to these challenges:
Challenge Up your Life - Anything Goes
Die Cut Divas - Something New
Double D Challenges - Use a punch
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Something New
Thanks so very much for visiting.

A beautiful design! I have to say I had some mental roadblocks to getting back into stamping this year too. I also was in Ohio for Christmas. Happy New Year!
Love these crisp colours Cat, gorgeous design too, Happy New Year, Cathy x
good to see you're back in the groove - as for me - not there yet!
Such a lovely thank you note, and a perfect one to have a few more to have on hand for the future as well! Glad you had a great time in Ohio, and yay for good sleep!
There is something so appealing about these flowers, Cat, and I love them stamped in blues, too! You were VERY smart to make this design multiple times......I need to remember that! Beautiful work!
Lovely fresh colors for ringing in the new year!
I love your style - and yes, that MISTI is a life saver! These little blooms are so pretty - nine is a good number to make in half a day, too!
Isn't it hard to leave your craft room - and even harder to get back into it??
So glad you've kick-started your body-clock, Cat! Let's keep that party going!

A little craft break must be sometimes and you have therefore not forgotten anything. Your card has become beautiful and in the cloudy weather I enjoy your beautiful flowers. Gundi
Lovely flowers Cat. I need to make thank you cards too but seem to be finding something else to do instead! Glad you are in a good sleep period, it always helps xx
Sounds as though you had a wonderful time, Cat ... I too unplugged ... such a joy! Your sweet blooms are so fresh and pretty ... a breath of spring in winter! Happy 2020! Hugs, Anita :)
So glad you were able to play again. Lovely 'thank you" card. So glad you could join the Die Cut Divas' January challenge of "something new".
Pretty trio of flowers on the scalloped background, Cat! Perfect for thank yous!! Happy New Year!
Wow, I think that having to send 9 thank you cards is a blessing for sure. Good that you could use the misty. It sounds like your Christmas was amazing in lots of ways and I sure hope that it continues for you.
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at Double D, Use some punches.

Love those images & your colors--great cards, Cat! So glad to hear you're sleeping better!
I can see how a MISTI would make quick work of multiples, and so pretty with these stamps! I can manage to make most anything take longer than it should. It sounds like you had a nice break!
