Sending Bear Hugs

This card is onw that I made for my granddaughter Amelia.  She recently sent me a note that said she would be sending me a picture she drew every week. So sweet of her and it really blessed my heart. I already have sent her a thank you card for the first picture and this will be for the second one.

Here are the 2 pictures she has sent me. She must know I love color and love Bluebirds and I'm thrilled to say the bluebirds are back at my mealworm feeder!

YAY! It's Your Birthday

Christmas Cheer and some News

 

Hello all! I'm here today posting a Christmas Card that I created for CAS Christmas for October. I just came across this site and thought it would be a great idea to start my Christmas cards. I put off this task too long every year. I'm hoping this challenge blog will keep me focused.

I had just received the new die-namic from MFT, Tiny Houses and I knew I wanted to create a card using them. The problem, I needed to incorporate Christmas Birds for the challenge. I checked through my stamp stash and found these cute little Birds in MFT Better Together.  

The Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set by SU had a sentiment that I felt went with the design. I added the assembled houses, the trees, and the birds to a circle which I cut off some of the bottom to accommodate the Snow Drift. Using SU Soft Sky ink and a blender brush to add some "sky" to the project then added some Snowflake Sequins by SU.

This die-namics set by MFT was a breeze to assemble so the card went together fairly quickly. I colored the birds with my Prismacolor Pencils and the inner panel was given some texture by using the Subltes EF.

On a side note, my card over at CASColours&Sketches was chosen as a weekly winner with 2 other crafty ladies. Thank you ladies for choosing my card! It's always nice to be recognized by your peers.

That's it for today. I have my craft desk to tidy up so I can work on another card. 

Stay well and Stay Safe

Happy Birthday 2 You

 

It's been a few days since I have been able to play with paper and ink. We had the downstairs of our home painted(1400 square feet) on Friday. A few days prior to that I was a little under the weather but still, I had to take down curtains, pictures, and removing lamps and such. Good thing the painters moved the heavier furniture. The process was like setting up a new home, for me anyway. They did a great job and I'm so happy we had it done but missed being up in my craft space.

I am back today with a card that I was able to create using the September Card Kit by MFT, Better Together. Such a cute set with the cute little Bug vehicle, adorable animals, and sentiments. This was my first go at using this set and I'm planning on creating a few more cards using it. 

It is also the first time linking my card over at AAA Birthday Card Challenges. I was made aware of this site by JoAnn Burnham over at Crafty Nana.'s. I, like others, seem to have a never-ending need for birthday cards. Another good spot to join other card makers.

I decided to change my closing signature. Nona is what my GC call but doesn't include the Bee. 

I'll give it a few weeks and see if I like the change. ;)
