 Hello-

Hubs and I  have a tradition of writing one another a letter on our anniversary each year.  I have finished my letter and just made my card.  

I have had the stamps and dies for more than a month...I'm just getting it done.  

All are new and coming out of the cart for the first time.  (Waffle Flower Happy Anniversary, My Favorite Things Sweetheart, and The Greetery Fireworks background. ) 

I am sending this over to The Card Concept as a clean and layered card, I was definitely influenced by the colors.  And to Cupcake Inspirations where Anything Goes.  And I'll be adding it to NBUS's 50th challenge as well since it is created from all new stamps and dies.

      

Thanks so much for visiting.

Hello-

This card is inspired by the sketch at MFT and the grid's center column at Tic Tac Toe.  Its a clean and simple card so it will also make a visit to Challenge up your Life. 

 

The stamps are from MFT -Festive Fireworks and Bitty Birthday Wishes heat embossed in gold. A small gold gem is added to the center of each firework burst.

 

Thanks for visiting.

On a personal note...

I am making the best of my weird sleep cycle as it seems this will be a long one. Its been going on for weeks this time.  I've managed a little routine. I wake between 3-4 pm, then it takes about an hour for me to feel with it...I make dinner for hubs and myself...fortunately I have never been a breakfast food fan when I first wake.  

Then after the cleaning up, its up to the crafty space and perhaps 1 load of laundry.  I am trying to do 1 load a day or every other day instead of letting it pile up for a marathon 2 days of washing and folding.  Our next meal is something light...maybe a wrap or a sandwich or a small frozen meal.  Then hubs is off to bed around 2-3 am and I am up til 7 or 8 or when I am finally sleepy.

 Hello- 

More from my crafty face time.

Freshly Made Sketches and We Love Stamping galleries will be visited by this card.

I used a bit of a coverplate page cut out from The Greetery, popped in some pearls in the larger openings and then added my winter duo. The snowman is not holding up his side enough so its a bit crooked (at least thats my story! Ha!)  Some copic coloring, and the remainder of that back drop piece will decorate the envelope flap.  (I did flip the sketch to portrait...sometimes landscapes are hard for me to envision elements on.)

Have a fabulous day.  

  

Thanks much for stopping by.

 Hello-

I am deep into a particularly nasty round of the vampire hours, I am only awake from 7pm until 8 am and sleeping or feeling dopey the rest of the clocks round.  

I did manage to spend a bit of time crafting.  This is the new spellbinders anemone die cut in gold foil paper and white. The white bits were colored with Taffy DOs, as well as the cardbase.  I wasn't looking for a smooth even blend, I wanted kind of a cloudy pink behind the blooms.

I am sending it to the gallery of Colorful Options (Pink), Festive Friday (Pink, Flower, and something shiny).
