This
card is my fourth entry in the current Time Out Theme challenge “In the Clear.”
It features a friendly little
guy peeking into a window, looking for an old person! I cut the front scene from an old greeting
card, printed off a copy of the weathered wood window frame, and used an Exacto
knife to cut out the squares for “glass panes” to be added, adhered a
scrap of acetate to the backside of the window to fill the panes with “glass”
and set it aside. I printed, colored, fussy-cut, and attached the little guy to
the inside of the window. Lastly, I positioned and adhered all the pieces in
place, adding some depth to the window by mounting it with foam tape (you can see that in the side view photo), then finished the card with a fun pair of computer-generated sentiments!

upcycled from an old greeting card

I made this card to send to Paula, a dear
friend who has helped me through many difficult times over the last few
decades. I can’t count the number of times that talking with Paula has helped
replace fear and anxiety with the peace that only prayer and wise counsel from
a “heart friend” can provide! The card features a pair of sentiments from Power
Poppy digi sets. The powerful scripture verse on the inside is a favorite of
Paulas, and the beautiful PEACE sentiment on the front is from a digi set named
Peace Offering, which Marcella Hawley, Power Poppy’s artist/owner, created in
2022. It was then offered for $5, with all proceeds donated to the Sunflower of
Peace Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to helping Ukrainians
affected by the Russian military invasion. (I’m going to share this info with
Paula because I know it will warm her heart!)
Supplies:
· Background scene is upcycled from an old
calendar
· Front sentiment

Offering, which is no

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge-AG (March 2026)
This is my final entry for the March Build Your Stash
Holiday Cardmakers group (BYSHC) Challenge on FB. A scrap of an old map provides
a base for the gingerbread house ornament, which takes center focus on this
month’s BYSHC sketch. Squares of patterned red and black papers provide color
and patterns, and two sentiments pull it all together.

from an old map

I
had some extra time yesterday to stamp and decided to make a St. Pat's Day card
to add to a gift packet of holiday cards that I’m giving to a dear friend. The
card features a digi and sentiment from a Bugaboo digi set. I colored the
always snarky Stella with shades of green and gave her lovely red hair. Sentiments,
scraps of rainbow-striped paper, and 3-D shamrock stickers finish the card.
