myasperations 4-1-25

   This is my DT card for All Dressed Up Stamps FB Challenge. It features an adorable digi image named “Potted Plants." I gave the card a Spring vibe by using two contrasting colors, blue and orange. They really pop… just like the trees will soon be doing here where I live. Ahhh… I love this time of the year!  Oops.. did you notice the little kitty helping to supervise her work. So sweet!

      This is my final card in the current challenge at The Paper Shelter named “Fur or Feathers.
The cute little bird digi is from one of my digi sets from The Paper Shelter, but I have nearly
100 of their sets, and cannot locate the one with this small birdee!
      I saw a on Jennifer McGuire tutorial (HERE) where she made a beautiful card using a
Paper Smooches Birdhouse die, and it inspired me to finally purchase a Big Shot so that I
could make cards like hers! While decluttering I found a box of partial cards, including this
one. I finished it up, added the little birdie entered it. Yay!

     The Time Out Challenge new theme is “Favorite Movie” and since I am an avid movie lover… I plan to enter several cards! This is my second entry, inspired by the movie “Star Wars.” My brand-new husband and I went to see it and were blown away by the special effects. The bar scene with all the odd aliens still impresses me. Nearly 50 years later we still love space related movies, but this one still remains one of my favorites!
