Myasperations 5-27-22

Work has been hectic the last few months and it doesn’t look like that will change until fall. To reduce my stress level a bit, I temporarily stepped down from several of my DT responsibilities. However, making cards and entering challenges are therapeutic for me…  so I want to continue with both. I decided that I want to reduce the time it takes to develop my blog writeups. So…I’m going to keep the info that I add to a minimum. (Hmm. Hoping I can do that. I tend to be verbose…i.e. chatty!)

I’m happy to see that Power Poppy has started offering challenges again. This first one is to feature Spring flowers. I knew exactly which of my Power Poppy digi sets I wanted to use- Blossoming Cherry!

·   Digi and Sentiments- Power Poppy (Blossoming Cherry)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Boxed set of Plaid cards and envelopes- Hobby Lobby

My last card was so fun to make using a sketch, snippets (aka paper scraps), a die, a computer-generated sentiment and one of my favorite wood-mount stamps.

I’m entering it into several challenges including the Cupcake Color Challenge (the many snippets are my card are mostly striped paper in a rainbow of colors!), Passion for Markers Challenge: 13th Anniversary (my card offers a burst of colors and patterns in celebration of the special anniversary!), and the Path Of Positivity Challenge: Celebrate Something Special about your Friends (I really enjoy people with a sense of humor. So feel blessed to be married to someone who can make me guffaw for 45 years and counting!)
