HUGS...

 Hello.  Hope life is treating you well!  Just sharing a card I made.  I used the following;

  • CTMH -besties-lucy stamp and thin cuts
  • colored pencils
  • alcohol markers
  • Tutti Designs cross stitch Nesting rectangles
  • "hugs" from Fiskars Lia Griffith stamp set
  • homemade alcohol spray from dried up markers
  • Picked Raspberry distress oxide inkpad
  • Momento ink pad-Rosebud 
  • sheer pink ribbon
I used a finger ink dauber to rub the Pink Raspberry ink over the pink marker I used on the background to cover marker streaks.

Thank you Card...

 Here is a Thank you card that I made.  I used the following supplies-

  • Purple and Black cardstock
  • Sizzix Luster Wax (Lilac Rainbow)
  • Distress Micro Glaze
  • Momenta Embossing Folder
  • White Rain hair spray
  • Recollections Christmas Noel dye ink pad
  • Dome sponge applicator and handle
I used the Distress Micro Glaze and the White Rain hair spray to seal the Luster Wax, so it would not rub off.  The Luster Wax gives the black cardstock a shiny purple look.

Another Birthday Bunny...

 Hello.  I loved the Outlawz Progressive Challenge image by Nan Murphy so much, I made a second card with it.  I used alcohol markers on this one and used the colors purple and green. I also used a Posca white paint pen, and was inspired by a Cardz TV sketch, although, I had to change it up a bit.   I hope you like my card!

Create...

 Hello.  It's been a long time, since I posted last.  Life got really hectic, but I am hoping it is starting to settle down.  I finally got to work on a card, and I am participating in the Outlawz Progressive Challenge.  I made a card using the wonderful images provided for us by Sandra.  They included paintbrushes, pencils, a sharpener and an eraser that reads "Eraser for Big Mistakes".  I think everyone could use one of those!  
I used coloring pencils, scrap papers and a stamp from a Heidi Swapp set (create) to make my card.  I used Sketch #51 from CardZ TV (with Mary) to help with the layout.   I hope you like my card!

Our Sweet Leo...

 We lost our sweet Leo March 5th, 2025.  We miss his sweet personality and adorable face!  He was such a good natured and laid-back kitty.  We had to be his doormen; letting him in and out many times throughout the day.  He liked to curl up just as close as he could get to me to sleep.  He was such a blessing in our lives!  We miss him!  Our sweet little Swirly Tabby!

He actually came here for two years to visit and eat before he came here to stay.  We called him "Big Head", as he had such a large head for such a small body.  When he came here to stay for good, he got all the food he wanted all the time, so he gained weight and grew into a full sized cat.  He was such a sweetheart!
