 Hi there!

Yesterday, or was it Saturday I got a Newton's Nook Design padded envelope in the mail.  I fell in love with a few of their new things, so I shopped. Today, I took it out to play. It was made for the current Inky Paws Challenge which closes soon. 

This was quick, a run through the die cut machine after stamping and coloring and cutting a piece of that gorgeous paper.  I am also sending this to Love those Pretty Papers Challenge including the option of Birthday. 

    

 Supplies: 

• Stamps: NND Postage Sampler
• Dies: NND Postage Sampler Dies; Greetery Crimped Circles
• Markers: Copics RV63,06;FYR1; BG15;B24
• Papers: NND Birthday time, Hammermill

 Hello-

I spent the afternoon playing with Gladys again...after some trauma last night.  I had lost the die pieces for the eyes. They were tiny tiny pieces.  Long story short...hubs is my hero. He dug out bags from the trash can at the curb (today was pick up day) and after searching through three craft room trash bags, I found the dies attached to a piece of washi.  I stress about things like that, and likely would not have been able to sleep.  I want my 50 year old brain back...she could multitask and let things go. She also slept.  Ah well getting older isn't for weaklings.

In any case, I have a card for Cupcake Inspirations where the brief is For the Birds. 

I spent a bit of time putting Gladys together, so I needed a quick landing space for her.  This gifted cardstock is heavy weight and I love the colors.  I made 4, but am only posting one. 

  

 

   

Thanks so much for visiting.  

 

• Dies: Sizzix Gladys
• Foiled Sentiments: Spellbinders

 Greetings

Its been a beautiful 3 days here in northwest Ohio.  Around 79-83, a breeze (which reminds me of California---few breezy days in Maryland.) and a blue sky with clouds floating by. This would be my perfect clime year round.

I have long wanted to inventory my stamps, dies, EF's and stencils.  Well that has begun.  I came across this cute set by Pretty Pink Posh and I knew my next card would have to feature it.  Then the Color Hues challenge popped up in my feed -- I had my colors.  The design was rounded out with the sketch from Freshly Made sketches.   

 

 I stamped colored and diecut the monsters in shades of green and yellow. I then cut the postage collage die from a white panel, cut it apart and chose 3 "stamps" I added yellow dots with a marker and then popped up my lil monsters on each panel.  I added then to the front of a green card base and added the sentiment under my grouping of stamps. A few sequins were added.

Another 2-3 hour card. I am so out of my element. I didn't think it would be this hard for me to get back into it or maybe its just the new space. 

    

 Thank you so much for visiting.  Your comments are appreciated.
