 WOW, 2025 already. 

I haven't made any cards until recently...and those are cards made from a SU kit, it was easy and gave me some fun.  Everything is in the kit, ink, block, stamp, cards, embellishments , glue dots, foam pieces, and instructions.

 

I am and have been in process of packing up my crafty space,along with traveling quite a bit over the last several months.  More on that later.  I hope it all settles out next month and I can set up my new crafty space and get back in the swing of it. 

As I was packing up things I had to go through all the hand made cards sent to me over the years. I kept a few from each of my crafty friends and have decided to recycle the card fronts of other loved cards to share their loveliness with someone else.  I have written the name of the original sender on the back...so hopefully I won't send one back to its maker. LOL.

 I had a conundrum on scoring card bases...my score boards are packed up.  So I finally found a hard piece of paper board (thanks to the SU card kit)  I measured to find where to score and used a ruler to keep it straight. Works beautifully. No more cracking folds. I use 110lb card for my bases.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

           I hope to turn all these lovely card fronts into cards and share them. I so very much miss this hobby and its been months since I had some crafty fun...even if its just a bit of gluing.

That is a shoebox full of card fronts.  

Wish me luck, and thanks for stopping by.

 Greetings-

I made it up to my crafty space today and made a few cards.  I am definitely suffering from my creative muscles not being up to par. 

Unfortunately they are not likely to improve in the short run.  

I have been feeling under the weather the last week or so, but feeling better today and yesterday. So hopefully on the mend.

 Hubs and I have a busy few months ahead of us.

I'll still be making cards here an there, but I am going to pull back from posting.  I'll still be looking at all your loveliness as well, but at more random intervals and likely won't be commenting much.  I hope to be back late fall, definitely before the end of the  year.

So I leave you with today's cards.  Apparently I was in a pink mood...lol




 Happy crafting everyone, and I'll see you again in a few months.  

Love and Hugs.

 Hi there,

I have so many cat stamps...I might just make a year of cat cards...lol.

This birthday card is for a cat lover and I hope she likes it.  I am sending it to Seize the Birthday, with toppings of cute critters, and  Love Those Pretty Papers (no option) challenge galleries.

The kitties and the rug come from Avery Elle, the floor board die cut was a gift,  but I think its Penny Black, and the paper is from SU.  I thought it made an excellent wall paper. The sentiment is from Spellbinders.


Thanks much for visiting.
