from Gerda Steiner Design (GSD)earlier this month. It included a special WM
with an invitation to join an “Easter Egg Hunt” by adding it to any cards made
with their wonderful stamps or digis. I decided to make an Easter </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">card that includes a sweet Gerda Steiner bunny
digi, which is a freebie! </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">(Learn about

final entry for the Lift Challenge which requires a lattice-inspired background.
Using an upcycled calendar page, and strips of weathered wood patterned paper I
created a backdrop for the cute pair of Easter bunnies and a flurry of
colorful butterflies. Sitting here looking at a foot of fresh snow out the
front window, this card brings the promise of Spring. Amen and Amen!!</span></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><u style="font-family: georgia;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRQcKkuXshPtD_YClhDrcLTC1bMiUTbGJ8FgAOIeSJSBzWuYq1xCuNnJokJxICTQRcFdTB9V6_qRVXwNrUk_RN6XLGcPvQnZJYxx0cy2yNQ8MNS4qnx3aEmqPwhp20gkjzrkIad6LRby625-UnhfD0jhlMhzys3l0Am_qF9WNy1TVEJSFwUPxQR4RLcLRh/s539/3-25-24%20GSD%20Easter%20Egg1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="535" data-original-width="539" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRQcKkuXshPtD_YClhDrcLTC1bMiUTbGJ8FgAOIeSJSBzWuYq1xCuNnJokJxICTQRcFdTB9V6_qRVXwNrUk_RN6XLGcPvQnZJYxx0cy2yNQ8MNS4qnx3aEmqPwhp20gkjzrkIad6LRby625-UnhfD0jhlMhzys3l0Am_qF9WNy1TVEJSFwUPxQR4RLcLRh/s320/3-25-24%20GSD%20Easter%20Egg1.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSvYjmOkhCL8BpPINQPUhORT4XJfv4lQ4cCY-hhgFVmkG5PjUXs-6pWxjluJBUYrvyAiM2enFLBXzKlqk1XgGh9cqwYKqVAxHXL-k02W0wJWwSoRHv0CwoRmxNlCQIUDb1t6lvrqLqNOdEJSTbSzKfSB7szmssrxw2GQbe9vZUbvK_O8Lhz2W5HjiYdmw/s1840/3-25-24%20GS%20Easter%20egg2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1840" data-original-width="1507" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilSvYjmOkhCL8BpPINQPUhORT4XJfv4lQ4cCY-hhgFVmkG5PjUXs-6pWxjluJBUYrvyAiM2enFLBXzKlqk1XgGh9cqwYKqVAxHXL-k02W0wJWwSoRHv0CwoRmxNlCQIUDb1t6lvrqLqNOdEJSTbSzKfSB7szmssrxw2GQbe9vZUbvK_O8Lhz2W5HjiYdmw/s320/3-25-24%20GS%20Easter%20egg2.jpg" width="262" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDt3qyXj81lF3gLs8SB8EE63FgsZpQT8NcOD8wwZvW_65jKNbimoUvqw6eW6_QVQ3rg5MbIia9Ir_Xy-jdWz_-UIot8I_IWZCE4yjVFsCOgADCUFRCCQsKvIQkKgPHLutmwc7ANTlR-It-gubVqkl4XWq4SHuXhjbYyZfUACYaZTK-dhriQ9Zy_XU82jwj/s400/zzz%20Challenge-Lift%20Challenge-Lattice%20card-march.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDt3qyXj81lF3gLs8SB8EE63FgsZpQT8NcOD8wwZvW_65jKNbimoUvqw6eW6_QVQ3rg5MbIia9Ir_Xy-jdWz_-UIot8I_IWZCE4yjVFsCOgADCUFRCCQsKvIQkKgPHLutmwc7ANTlR-It-gubVqkl4XWq4SHuXhjbYyZfUACYaZTK-dhriQ9Zy_XU82jwj/s320/zzz%20Challenge-Lift%20Challenge-Lattice%20card-march.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></u></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><u style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Supplies: </span></u></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I
was happy to discover the <span style="color: windowtext; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ABC Christmas
Challenge</span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext;"> </span></span><span class="InternetLink"><span style="color: windowtext;">a few months ago, partly because I love celebrating
Christmas all year! </span></span></span><span style="background: white; font-family: georgia;">The current challenge
focuses on the letters E, F, and G, meaning I can use my favorite
little gingerbread cookie from Beccy’s Place! (My nickname for this cutie is “Pillsbury”
because he is such a sweet little dough ball!) </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">The
humorous inside sentiment is from a Beccy’s Place clear stamp set. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> (Note- Beccy
Muir, artist/owner of Beccy’s Place, is holding a retirement sale of several
digi sets for 50% off until March 31st, so check the sale
listing <a href="https://beccysplace.com/sale-items/"><span style="color: windowtext; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">HERE</span></a> soon!) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> This sweet digi from Sweet November Stamps was
the February freebie in their monthly newsletter. I had fun creating a bright
and cheerful card to celebrate the arrival of Spring (which we hope shows up here in our part of the country soon. I mean… hopefully right after the two blizzards forecasted in the coming week!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I’m entering this card into several
challenges including Outlawz Sunday Challenge: Dear Swing (the blue sky background
on my card makes me think of all the times I felt like I was reaching for the
sky when swinging on the playground.

focuses on the letters E, F, and G, so these two little gingerbread cuties is so adorable that they deserve to be placed front and center. (This digi is from a talented artist.
Dina Gerner, who closed her Digi Doodles shop a while ago. I was glad to learn
that she still sells stamps, now the clear variety, in a web-based shop named <a href="https://inknsplatter.com/"><span style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Ink

humorous front sentiment is from a Beccy’s Place digi set. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">(An exciting note, Beccy Muir, artist/owner of
Beccy’s Place, is holding a retirement sale of several digi sets for 50% off
(meaning that this set is just $3 US!). Besides this set, I have several
others, so I’ll be posting cards made with them between now and March 31st</span><span style="font-family: georgia;">.

The inside sentiment is from a wonderful Christmas set from WeAre3. (Sadly, I just
discovered that owner Bonnie Kohane closed her WeAre3 </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Etsy shop last November. I was happy to see
that Bonnie hosts a FB page, </span><span style="background: white; font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085956112243"><span style="color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">Bonnie Kohane Craft Time</span></a>

my second card for the Time Out Challenge photo inspiration. The cute little
tree frog is from a Beccy’s Place digi set that includes three inspirational
sentiments. For this card, I paired the little cutie with foliage patterned
paper and a computer-generated sentiment that always makes me smile. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">(An exciting note- Beccy Muir, artist/owner of Beccy’s
Place, is holding a retirement sale of several digi sets for 50% off (meaning
that this set is just $1.95 US!). Besides this set, I have several others, so
I’ll be posting cards made with them between now and March 31st</span><span style="font-family: georgia;">.
Check the sale listing out </span><a href="https://beccysplace.com/sale-items/" style="font-family: georgia;"><span color="windowtext" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: georgia;">!)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I'm entering this card into several other challenges including the Lift Challenge (my lattice fence looks a bit different than the inspiration card, because I quickly realized that he couldn't "squeeze" through the spaces in the lattice of my originally planned fence. So, the size and spacing of the fence planks had to be changed!) and two Spring themed challenges (I wasn't quite sure when frogs show up... so googled it and learned that the do "pop up" literally, in the Spring!) </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Skipper for a frog!) After coloring the digi with alcohol markers, I used gel
pens to add the look of “embroidery floss” to the flowers on the pocket and stitching
to the pocket and background frame. I also added silver brads to the pocket and
a scrap of doily to dress it up a bit!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhik1RTeyOJYKEL2vFYxexA7qsudVRJeo3mqon5qu0hqPXU0L8JPJjf_A5u1Giiumac2LKpY9qkXcoGVMHb-PDAnzcMwc2e-dRdsXqJ5sB9cNOBs_5nmcHIN4kTLuW8pZXsqduhjOOvNCAC1ycQTrlMm1lJy1gQQDOVw7sVlVtTka8fUpx6PN3ldR6koiSB/s800/3-12-24%20Imagine%20That-frog%20in%20pocket.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="326" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhik1RTeyOJYKEL2vFYxexA7qsudVRJeo3mqon5qu0hqPXU0L8JPJjf_A5u1Giiumac2LKpY9qkXcoGVMHb-PDAnzcMwc2e-dRdsXqJ5sB9cNOBs_5nmcHIN4kTLuW8pZXsqduhjOOvNCAC1ycQTrlMm1lJy1gQQDOVw7sVlVtTka8fUpx6PN3ldR6koiSB/w326-h326/3-12-24%20Imagine%20That-frog%20in%20pocket.jpg" width="326" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigX6e9ACntPh3HKzg90_OMYucGdGdjNkT4mp-94PCyzms3f1zRFPXEXa0pOled98J1GM-uInuYp4z6Cvn9FOOZxNDNTL8aU6PnS3sRncys62aXF46McjfoKa8sD4E2WObeiBQcJxaXceQiYHBlKlp3Aq3yN_V0u0afs8lN-_mwiKHE5AP_SreDv3HEYs_V/s800/3-12-24%20Imagine%20That-%20frog%20in%20pocket-BP%20Sentiments-inside.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="638" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigX6e9ACntPh3HKzg90_OMYucGdGdjNkT4mp-94PCyzms3f1zRFPXEXa0pOled98J1GM-uInuYp4z6Cvn9FOOZxNDNTL8aU6PnS3sRncys62aXF46McjfoKa8sD4E2WObeiBQcJxaXceQiYHBlKlp3Aq3yN_V0u0afs8lN-_mwiKHE5AP_SreDv3HEYs_V/s320/3-12-24%20Imagine%20That-%20frog%20in%20pocket-BP%20Sentiments-inside.jpg" width="255" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-m-u5yyf3pQkeyQQ8K9UKhZawLMJuJCJCxdlajNIARGZ3UduXfACbFAVc8nd_WW3_X8XotZUWVbyhphpscTDiaCUJQ30ujDsW3lxpsSDYsN-nK-6V8wGzlrE8RXLN1psR8-LqmFppxqvhtFPKfqadvgPwvcs0Jpfy7RGpc9US28IptE0lQOj-mRA25dr8/s320/3-11-24%20zzz%20Challenge-%20258%20Time%20Out%20challenges-photo%20inspiration.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-m-u5yyf3pQkeyQQ8K9UKhZawLMJuJCJCxdlajNIARGZ3UduXfACbFAVc8nd_WW3_X8XotZUWVbyhphpscTDiaCUJQ30ujDsW3lxpsSDYsN-nK-6V8wGzlrE8RXLN1psR8-LqmFppxqvhtFPKfqadvgPwvcs0Jpfy7RGpc9US28IptE0lQOj-mRA25dr8/w252-h252/3-11-24%20zzz%20Challenge-%20258%20Time%20Out%20challenges-photo%20inspiration.jpeg" width="252" /></a></div></div>

favs! The challenge sponsor, Mrs. A, is offering a few changes for the new
year. Each challenge will incorporate a letter/sentiment as one of the themes,
and will include six colors from which to choose. The current challenge has a
technique that is new to me, creating a cloisonne by embossing onto a magazine
or similar type of photo. I was excited to try it… until I discovered that my heat
tool has gone “walk about”! I looked for it for quite a while with no luck. But…
in the process, I found an unopened package of dainty gold rub-on butterflies…
which I think might have even been in one of the wonderful prize packets from Mrs.
A (the sponsor of the Butterfly Challenge!) I used an old calendar with
colorful pictures, and although it took a bit of experimenting, I ended up with
several that look a bit like cloisonne! I wanted to make a really feminine card
to enter into We Love Stamping Challenge, so used some delicate dried flowers (</span></span><i style="font-family: georgia;">dried violets and other blooms from my flower garden
in South Dakota about 15 years ago)</i><span class="MsoHyperlink" style="font-family: georgia;"><span color="windowtext">. Paired with doily, pretty
patterned paper, gold trimmed ribbon from my stash, and computer-generated
sentiments the finished card has a wonderful Victorian feeling!</span></span></div>

exciting, change of life, announcement- As of March 4<sup>th</sup>… I am
retired! (Well, sort of retired.) Read on if you’d like to know details… or
just skip right to the card details below if desired!</i></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><i><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #333333;"> </span> Last fall I'd decided that I'd like to retire this Spring. In my 13
years on the job, my Department has grown pretty drastically, with our annual
budget rising from $near 100,000 to over $400,000 and the number of our
Prevention Staff doubled. I discussed my plan with our Executive director, and she began advertising for </span></span></i><i style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">a replacement to take over my many responsibilities of managing the agency’s Prevention Department. </span></span></i><i><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We started interviewing candidates and
we were blessed to find a wonderful person, named Sherry, who was willing to
take on the challenge. But she had one request… that I’d continue to work at
least 3 months to help her transition into the job. Within a short time, I came
to realize the almost unbelievable number of details (and reports) our five
programs required due to their many federal, state, and county grants. Sherry
was a quick learner, but her first few months on the job were pretty intense
for both of us. From December through February, my time was consumed with
training Sherry, while also cleaning/organizing the many files in two cabinets,
developing timelines, checklists, etc. to help Sherry control of the many
“behind the scenes” tasks that the job required. On March 4th, I
handed the reins for the Department to Sherry. Since she is tech-savvy, I have
a feeling that she will do an excellent job improving upon the way I
performed many of the key tasks! The current plan is that I will continue a day
or two a week for the rest of the school year to finish up some of our school-based
programs. (I love teaching and have several standing requests for High School Health
classes I’ve provided every May. After that, I think I’ll be ready to 100%
retire. Until then, after this week, I have more time to dedicate to crafting,
blogging and hopefully return to doing acrylic portraits! (Stay tuned for more
on that hobby/passion this summer!) </span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background: white; color: #333333;"> Now onto my blogging. Earlier this year I
posted a card I made with a sweet 2024 New Years digi from Gerda Steiner Stamps
which made me smile… and it was FREE… which made my smile even bigger! (You can
see that card and details posted </span><a href="https://myasperations.blogspot.com/2024/01/myasperations-1-20-24.html" style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">HERE</span></a><span style="background: white; color: #333333;">.) I’d made over of dozen of them
to send to family members… however, due to an unexpectedly busy workload at the
office that never occurred! I found the pile of cards already addressed but
never mailed tucked away with Christmas tax documents. I decided I’d send out
the belated letters next week, adding an “Asper Update” letter that details the
reason the card is late, i.e. life
changes plus my increasingly dingy brain! </span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I also recently found a handful of similar
card fronts, that I’d printed for New Year 2023, but had never colored. I decided
to make them into humorous, and purposefully belated, cards to send to a few
dear friends I know will get a kick out of them. I’ll include a copy of
our “Asper Updates” letter to share the current news with them, too! </span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I was excited to get an email from Gerda Steiner
Design a few days ago that included a special WM with an invitation to join in
a fun Easter Egg Hunt by adding it to any cards made with their wonderful stamps
or digis. So, you’ll see that colorful WM on my card… and can also find it
posted on the GDS FB page!) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: red;"> </span>The funny dog digi on the inside of the card is a freebie
from illustrator and children's book author Elizabeth <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="background: white;">Dulemba, who created
hundreds of digis and coloring pages that she offers for free download! (This
cute pup can be found </span></span><a href="https://dulemba.com/Blogstuff/ColoringPageTuesdays/NewYears2020-big.jpg"><span style="background: white; color: black;">HERE</span></a><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="background: white;">.) I traced the pups sash onto a scrap of white copy paper,
fussy-cut it, handprinted “2024” and adhered it atop the original. Then added

discover the Caffeinated
Christmas Card Challenge last year and have enjoyed entering it since then.
This month's challenge is to add some green to a coffee-themed card. Some of the
background Christmas digis (freebies from Graphic Fairy) amd paper behind the
unique silver wire coffee cup brad, which I bought at Oriental Trading Company during
60-80% off after-Christmas sales over 10 years ago. (It’s amazing what a person
can find when organizing/cleaning a craft room!)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsGkmvPAMcil8sxbzOcqCF7jaawvRaetFxB90Ana_VHdkCcezipOhQ39_TwyAkEQ6EH22osv1XMgw-9yAU21GGXmSH-N-zHndamazAPhxteUJYqtakjG8OeeysTF3sne0zLm_nPBngsArgKz9n6_ztumgSm_z1Pnc4RHMYkkq41bs_btZmb7Cpg53ggpcG/s800/3-8-24%20BP-Holly%20Christmas%20and%20coffee-wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsGkmvPAMcil8sxbzOcqCF7jaawvRaetFxB90Ana_VHdkCcezipOhQ39_TwyAkEQ6EH22osv1XMgw-9yAU21GGXmSH-N-zHndamazAPhxteUJYqtakjG8OeeysTF3sne0zLm_nPBngsArgKz9n6_ztumgSm_z1Pnc4RHMYkkq41bs_btZmb7Cpg53ggpcG/w398-h398/3-8-24%20BP-Holly%20Christmas%20and%20coffee-wm.jpg" width="398" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5eDmOtSxS_iUt8YGSiU_4kQe1nthFCc_4Ye_I4AEjOyaiubMrShMm9KEjd6tZQSZtcYPYjG3b8D4PqvoScqYbcgad6gVnYI74QQ265Plsl18kb9VXJ6ZFgCUewfwvy_X_SH0PMl9OM5_-RGe3n039iR2eLLiYRVStMRQj4wilg6zHC1UY3Wd6P9unZ5a/s406/zzz%20Challenge-%20Caffinated%20Christmas%20March-green.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="406" data-original-width="402" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5eDmOtSxS_iUt8YGSiU_4kQe1nthFCc_4Ye_I4AEjOyaiubMrShMm9KEjd6tZQSZtcYPYjG3b8D4PqvoScqYbcgad6gVnYI74QQ265Plsl18kb9VXJ6ZFgCUewfwvy_X_SH0PMl9OM5_-RGe3n039iR2eLLiYRVStMRQj4wilg6zHC1UY3Wd6P9unZ5a/w198-h200/zzz%20Challenge-%20Caffinated%20Christmas%20March-green.png" width="198" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQRRUSXCS9fB5TqSEZOmbmAg_TZQVGQuRnHQ9PVbOEhTx89BH8xYIR-E5E4QF4qUYPhblKvKCjlQEUXp4Dh_CYhyphenhyphenHt-ihD6uX8W87kxSlhkaLkSmsJw2RZzagf-sc-G_siqGJrZq8LT1m02D4E3NGPqurFuVRAmcizG_yF_pnk4E9x_npWWWlBDEjjMPFt/s1280/3-9-24%20BP-Christmas%20Cheers%20Set-WM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1279" data-original-width="1280" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQRRUSXCS9fB5TqSEZOmbmAg_TZQVGQuRnHQ9PVbOEhTx89BH8xYIR-E5E4QF4qUYPhblKvKCjlQEUXp4Dh_CYhyphenhyphenHt-ihD6uX8W87kxSlhkaLkSmsJw2RZzagf-sc-G_siqGJrZq8LT1m02D4E3NGPqurFuVRAmcizG_yF_pnk4E9x_npWWWlBDEjjMPFt/w292-h292/3-9-24%20BP-Christmas%20Cheers%20Set-WM.jpg" width="292" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSdE_i4IUpZZ4H3Rew7zbOzoQ4-PM1YgEPHvifNV2L-MUHRXQlu1jV4nGDbEmYXMMGt6G_7I9fk0DuHkrKyOIiHBWRdUpF5_soyuLgcXANwcYmVAv4FEKQzMRAp0K8IbblSSzqc0wQd_R5eJ01pVPiUOKuGwd7XcIyGmJdMboSVgQ3z4cZ9tMQ8on0wlnR/s800/3-8-24%20BP-Holly%20Christmas%20and%20coffee-inside-wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="747" data-original-width="800" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSdE_i4IUpZZ4H3Rew7zbOzoQ4-PM1YgEPHvifNV2L-MUHRXQlu1jV4nGDbEmYXMMGt6G_7I9fk0DuHkrKyOIiHBWRdUpF5_soyuLgcXANwcYmVAv4FEKQzMRAp0K8IbblSSzqc0wQd_R5eJ01pVPiUOKuGwd7XcIyGmJdMboSVgQ3z4cZ9tMQ8on0wlnR/w306-h285/3-8-24%20BP-Holly%20Christmas%20and%20coffee-inside-wm.jpg" width="306" /></a></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Supplies: </span></u></div></div>

This card was created to enter into the current ABC Christmas Challenge-<span class="InternetLink">C is for Cats. I acquired this fun digi and sentiment from the
QKR/Eureka Challenge where I served as a DT for several years. (Sadly, the
challenge is no longer being offered as the owner of the stamp lines is
looking for a buyer of their wonderful lines. I do hope they find one soon as they
offered so many great wood and rubber stamps and digital images.) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I’m entering this card into several challenges including Park Hopping-My Happy Place (I
discovered this challenge last year and it has become a favorite of mine. I’ve
learned much about amusement parks mainly because the challenge host, Makira,
provides a listing of “inspiration” to help learn more about Amusement Parks
around the globe. As a grade school student, I remember seeing the always sweet
and gracious, Walt Disney, talking about the park he had built in far-off
California. It looked both amazing and magical, but little did I know that stray

might know that I regularly donate cards to the drug/alcohol treatment center where
I work, so that our clients can keep in touch with loved ones. I’ve recently
had requests for kids cards, especially featuring princesses and dinosaurs.
Today I spent several happy hours in my craft room, and here are my first three
dinosaur cards. (I am striving to get them posted tonight because I can then
enter them into the current Cupcake Inspirations Challenge! So better get to typing!)</span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixczyOtZfqeuKHqkeZNuDsGS7df3SNYeCccIqt3i9xrvj5ktcCIKMSQhx5miryrHRRxkrjQ9IZ585mBrOmHjltXCEk3x6KAphG_2Iw6dZxhBq0wm7nrbMQrBcWJIJ8gUfu7mlKvvqtnjZTggP1sH4HbNndWfaxWu2jFJA76il3xnfRfXziUfSV_q5VF_iY/s384/3-1-24%20zzz%20CIC%20Dinsaurs%20to%20Friday%20_____.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="384" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixczyOtZfqeuKHqkeZNuDsGS7df3SNYeCccIqt3i9xrvj5ktcCIKMSQhx5miryrHRRxkrjQ9IZ585mBrOmHjltXCEk3x6KAphG_2Iw6dZxhBq0wm7nrbMQrBcWJIJ8gUfu7mlKvvqtnjZTggP1sH4HbNndWfaxWu2jFJA76il3xnfRfXziUfSV_q5VF_iY/s320/3-1-24%20zzz%20CIC%20Dinsaurs%20to%20Friday%20_____.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">This first one features a cute digi from

colored the dino to match one of the little images on the paper. Added a bit of
fun (gate-fold) and bling (Stickles) to help the big guy shine like the reptile

digi set (sadly it's retired!) Since I’m planning to make at least a dozen
dino cards this weekend, I opted to use pre-colored images for these two cards.
(Beccy does such a great job in picking colors and beautifully applying them,
so win-win!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> An added note for the people visiting my blog is to let you know that Beccy is currently
holding a retirement sale with a large assortment of digi sets for 50% off. Although this set
is no longer available, several of my favs are included in this sale. So… if
you check out the listing I have a feeling you’ll want to let a few of them
retire to your craft room! The sale ends on March 31st<sup> </sup>so be sure

After posting this card, I decided that I didn't like the way the white rectangle stood out, plus I realized that dino's front legs are "floating" in the air. So I added in some foilage and grass with alcohol markers. The colors don't match perfectly, but I wanted to share the final card (partly to show that sometimes my cards get revisions right up to the time they are either mailed or gifted! I also paint acrylic portraits, mainly of people and pets, and often see changes I'd like to make even years after they are "finished"!) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPhOhKJBjXSXF1v5dG_7k1ZHpcCGM9KjUZ1AVZ0iE9U09KbqzAOR98oHcYKu6x2KR6AIrHqQcJxBXJ3G1Bxkulti44-UJFYMdZ8WlGAf-HhdOawUXBRqnNNoWXuCgtffmx2pr1Pf7jczQzYBcMfi76sJqgq-WDbCnxZv74xdClX4suSnTMu3HUGGdOeAwe/s800/3-1-24%20BP%20Dino%201a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPhOhKJBjXSXF1v5dG_7k1ZHpcCGM9KjUZ1AVZ0iE9U09KbqzAOR98oHcYKu6x2KR6AIrHqQcJxBXJ3G1Bxkulti44-UJFYMdZ8WlGAf-HhdOawUXBRqnNNoWXuCgtffmx2pr1Pf7jczQzYBcMfi76sJqgq-WDbCnxZv74xdClX4suSnTMu3HUGGdOeAwe/w200-h200/3-1-24%20BP%20Dino%201a.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u><span style="font-family: georgia;">Supplies: </span></u></div></div>

and one of our best-selling stamp lines was “Art Impressions.” I especially
liked their “golden oldies” and “front and back” stamps. This cute little cat
is a wonderful example of the F&B stamps, as you get to see both sides of
the little feline. I thought the computer-generated sentiment worked perfectly
with the cat image. So fun!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I wanted to make a special card for two challenges that
focus on Flowers. And, since I had my wood-mount stamps out, I decided to use

Outlawz posed a challenge for me because the digi created by Sandra, one of the
Progressive Challenges generous artists, teased my “little grey cells” between
themes for my card. I bounce between vintage/shabby chic, rustic/primitive,
B&W/dramatic, and a combo of cutesy/playful and rainbow colored. I finally
settled on an Anniversary card with a shabby chic card with muted colors and
glimmers of gold. The woven pattern in the digi simplified the process of
weaving strips of thin satin ribbon. I started by “anchoring” (taping) the end
of a long strand of ribbon about 1/3 inch beneath one of the strands of the
woven heart on the lower left edge of the heart. Once the end was taped with
transparent tape, I laid the ribbon on the digi strand across to the upper
right side of the heart. Gently pulling it taut, I taped the ribbon about 1/3 inch
above the end of the digi weave, then cut the ribbon. I continued this until
all of the left-right strips of ribbon were in place. I next positioned and cut
the strips of ribbon for the top-bottom strips and taped one end of each down.
Then the weaving took a bit of time… but I following the digi pattern helped in
the process. I cut a heart shaped “frame” in glossy paper in a pretty shade of
brown (upcycled from an old brochure) that covered all the messiness of the
taped down ribbon edges. When finished, I added gold photo corners, an upcycled
rose stamp and a pretty digi button with a delicate rose image. (This button is
just one of the many on a collage sheet which is FREE! Nab the link in supplies
below.)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m entering my

creating this card for the current Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge. A Lawn
Fawn stamp set that I’ve had since 2017 was a perfect fit for the Coffee and
Hearts theme, especially when paired with coffee-patterned paper and a little puffy
heart sticker added to the blue coffee cup.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;">I’m entering my card into several challenges including Inspiration
Station: Photo Prompt (my valentine-themed card features not a cat or dog, but an
unusual pet that is much loved!) and Park Hopping-My Happy Place, one of my favorite challenges as it
has introduces me to many new amusement parks. The little puff-ball owl in Emma’s
hug reminds me of Harry Potters owl. So, this card honors Universal Studios “<span style="color: #373737;"><a href="https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/universal-orlando-resort/the-wizarding-world-of-harry-potter/hub">Wizarding

is “</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Anything Goes</span><span style="background: white; font-family: Georgia, serif;">”</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> and my DT card featured a wonderful design from artist
Andrea Norris named, appropriately, “Retro Rocket.” A family member loves old
sci-fi movies, and I thought he’d love this fun image that reminds me of a few
of the classics we’ve watched together over the years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> I used starry sky and planet-patterned paper.
plus a Faux Step Card</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> tutorial that a friend
recommended (and love that it is so much easier to create than the regular Step
Card!) </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The rocket took a little time to make, but I love
the result. I printed the rocket digi onto white cardstock to create a template,
then cut the pieces apart. I wanted the pieces with “rivets” to have a flat
silver finish, and was thrilled that a Silver Sharpie Marker provided that. When finished, if needed, I used
a fine-line black Sharpie marker to redraw the panel lines and rivets. Then, to make it look like the old rocket had a few dents and scratches from wayward asteroid, I added some "texture" with white and grey colored pencils and love the way that worked! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> The smooth shiny surface was added to the
rocket fins and other silver fittings by covering the cutouts with </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">strips
of aluminum foil tape, then trimming it to size. (I stumbled upon this great
item in a hardware store, and it sticks much better than the silver washi tapes
I’ve tried. You can also add score lines
or other scored decorations to it. Versatile and cheap! You can find a link in
my supply list.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> After piecing the rocket sections together
with all the pieces, I added tape to the underside to hold it together, I used
an old-school (vintage/retro) paper punch that provides a large hole to punch “windows” into the paneled section of the rocket's cone. I then used the punch to punch circles
from a strip of aluminum tape. By spacing them about ¼ to ½ inches apart, I had
enough space to trim around the “holes” in the aluminum and create silver
portal frames! </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">I positioned then
adhered the rocket and assorted planets onto the base, then added a bit of
sparkle to “Saturns ring” with Stickles. Because space has lots of natural bling,
right? The last touch was to add computer-generated sentiments to the back….
and Shazam! Such a fun card!</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhchZ7aJAZUPmOlU3fObeMumILlEmMty7S1_3ZuS0rFcYqFSYcvQPSD_QroV54jhPlPr0osqNtQoWgpKXHH_kJQvdz2PWzgWWtvbBJ8uQLDhNueXKL0a4ynWwTJyM0ZGSUAVW1OhXyvstOjxWfci5d2OO0o_fihZgo1o0M1x39CYN2QNF58vOOAujmb4FvD/s800/2-20-24-Sheepski%20Designs-Retro%20Rocket-front%202-11-24.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

make a card for the current Simon Says challenge, “Fun with Foil” but I don’t have

used on this card. So I hope that qualifies?</span><span style="font-family: georgia;">

using up some of my paper scraps… so the Snippets Challenge is a favorite of
mine. For this card, I sketched out a sentiment template that helped me to cut
out the name of the jolly little Santa embellishment from my precious Christmas
paper scraps. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">The inside sentiment digi
takes center stage, backed by the upcycled front from a box of Hobby Lobby Christmas
cards, and topped by a Santa and his reindeer sticker. So fun! </span></div>

card for this post is for one of my favorite challenges named “Snippets.” I
love this Challenge because it encourages me to use all the lovely paper scraps
that I hoard… I mean save… for later use! I found a treasure trove of pastel scraps
just begging to be put to use as I’m starting on Spring cards. I cut them into
strips, then adhered them into a simple herringbone pattern using an often-used tutorial that I found on Pinterest years ago (see web link in supplies
list.) The little bunny has been in my collection
for a few decades. If you recognize it, please let me know. The sentiment
is from a Polkadoodles digi set that is new to me. It also includes a sweet
bunny image!)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEholvpUs4WwyrAovOSwJ74slfBHoODHxyoWOrGEEoM7bX1wtmZ73e14djsTo71NytelblGgBGQ9s36p4RusklfilylNbAqmE3IFNTVlPr2yZrgkkh8No4V3C3pYFp-BGTdTQ9fu6BvOF9f7_9Z1sEND9XQNtt9PUcFv1wGWrHHLsUk60LWLe3y9DcEnCpEh/s800/1-30-24%20some%20bunny%20snippets2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="799" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEholvpUs4WwyrAovOSwJ74slfBHoODHxyoWOrGEEoM7bX1wtmZ73e14djsTo71NytelblGgBGQ9s36p4RusklfilylNbAqmE3IFNTVlPr2yZrgkkh8No4V3C3pYFp-BGTdTQ9fu6BvOF9f7_9Z1sEND9XQNtt9PUcFv1wGWrHHLsUk60LWLe3y9DcEnCpEh/s320/1-30-24%20some%20bunny%20snippets2.jpg" width="320" /><img border="0" data-original-height="608" data-original-width="411" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrfsix-o_dm4alW_AUOe4WTriSVfKQuqqV18QNGFWXMsmU5dcmaP7naYB9vuk6vcB4HS1F7ZiG6B7gDK3DM5r63_f_OlLSwvYvoB1fuLxTpzGZdtbsaAWaFGIxOeyuvDt773BsbC0aRAA5a2vG1iV5U7CQx0AOf-Usmcsj2LcJzGRRnTeWW3QH1ksRZyYZ/s320/1-30-24%20zzz%20Polkadoodles%20%20Some_bunny_adores_digi_stamp__12806.jpg" width="216" /></span><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Supplies: </span></u></div></div>

Guest Designer for Beccy Muir at Beccy’s Place and am now one of her
“Contributors” (which means that she provides me with digis or clear stamp sets
several times a year and I get to create cards or other items with them!) </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">It is always fun to see the images Beccy
invites me to use and this time my card features Beccy’s new sets named</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;"> ‘Ruff Day”. I </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">used 1 pre-colored digi (mainly
because I knew that I could never get my coloring of this beautiful dog to look
this good) and 2 sentiments from the set. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;"> </span></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I love that Beccy names the characters that
she creates, and this noble-looking dog is named Fortescue. I did a bit of
research and ancestry.com notes that the name is ”<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">English
(of Norman origin): nickname from Old French fort ‘strong’ + escu ‘shield’.” </span>With
a name like that, I have a feeling that a dog named Fortescue does just about
anything he wants, when he wants. Ha!</span></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> The Pop-Up Accordion fold took a little
time to put together, but a YouTube tutorial helped with the process and I love the

I usually decorate the inside the card, but I’m leaving this one blank for now as it is in a packet of cards that I’m donating to the Drug Treatment Agency where I work. (This will be the third time I’ve donated cards, and our clients have really appreciated being able to stay in touch with loved ones in this way during their first few weeks when they can’t have outside visitors.

digi from Gerda Steiner makes me smile. And when I saw that it was FREE… I nabbed
it immediately! I colored the printed digi with alcohol markers, then added the soft glowing
effect by using cotton-tipped swabs (Q-tips) to add smudges of soft pastel
chalks. I printed off extra copies of a few of
the penguins to adorn the inside sentiment. After seeing how quickly this card
went together, I made 15 of them to send out to friends and family members.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-kJ0X0F97KhdPeIZmMcOCw3msqvyMtaHbR5FyKnLivWvp3-CmtH4kgy56ZbihGnmxtQNOnszHRawASl1rTIcwxLOTlYxtXJN8xuZn-zD7HTvfPR4gg9i-kj5CCLjBPkpr4ncxRVUBMLll8HGkVSUGjvDDdZI-3UDPu5N5xU9EGZ4fI4GUbSgfd5lYnvoG/s801/1-20-24%20GS%202024-front.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;

when organizing my many treasures! This one is from Biblical
Impressions, another of the companies that were favorites at our wonderful
little store in South Dakota named Stampers Den. I’ve had this since the 90’s
and it still works like new! I decided to use black pigment ink and fine black embossing powder to provide a bold black outline, which I colored in with a small number of colors (to be able to enter it into the current Cupcake Inspirations challenge.) Dots of several colors of Stickles add bling to
the pretty card.</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ip6pPiTMjcp9h1Ob-x_Gj3SqdNICntyobiJBwMGZMFAiVGlEHXRvpu4x2bAYKL_KUl9mj1g0N8S6DS-8k9qsklPWjrBKFroVWLvVU45jQjTXf1tkAMa9O-mOu_qbIAws7J_EJVpSQotXTOwq87e8j0w_QKToIooz9T9-648BbdMoAcrI9Rb8AB0y-Rcu/s800/1-16-24a%20BI-BDay%20Angel-front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="800" height="341" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ip6pPiTMjcp9h1Ob-x_Gj3SqdNICntyobiJBwMGZMFAiVGlEHXRvpu4x2bAYKL_KUl9mj1g0N8S6DS-8k9qsklPWjrBKFroVWLvVU45jQjTXf1tkAMa9O-mOu_qbIAws7J_EJVpSQotXTOwq87e8j0w_QKToIooz9T9-648BbdMoAcrI9Rb8AB0y-Rcu/w356-h341/1-16-24a%20BI-BDay%20Angel-front.jpg" width="356" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX1eJTjYXrGy1ov0Eaw3l7VweyBPphoAvqYqk4N5Shgph1i7iRvH9ngbdFi5Wkiv2csCL_Y_aX8PkSyK4OCwN3KFOr5RaNPinI9tArT0Ne-qTvIJDtr0WCaWGbUVBmMvegIhBRoaamzaMQvx6xuUPSHumfMOERQGAvpyhGb9wLHfAT2S1ONjF9h2SY_BZm/s800/1-16-24a%20BI-BDay%20Angel-inside.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="672" data-original-width="800" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX1eJTjYXrGy1ov0Eaw3l7VweyBPphoAvqYqk4N5Shgph1i7iRvH9ngbdFi5Wkiv2csCL_Y_aX8PkSyK4OCwN3KFOr5RaNPinI9tArT0Ne-qTvIJDtr0WCaWGbUVBmMvegIhBRoaamzaMQvx6xuUPSHumfMOERQGAvpyhGb9wLHfAT2S1ONjF9h2SY_BZm/w233-h196/1-16-24a%20BI-BDay%20Angel-inside.jpg" width="233" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61cU2JRzB4dW7XP3Hkzy7ixOzpKJgcHGBBdYfN5zwODrFzy8mjceqtMWo8O5fKDb02bPWQT6T0fSNgUO2ksQasqkwJ7jdMDCPw8b77d3-_kbnZcej5uGtW4mqK6wkf-WiQ0YkyoMYU3KzZg2wVGxm-lxFz9dX4IsNE-AMOgCnzY5ssbqyVgEgIZWAOs9h/s384/1-16-24a%20zzz%20CIC%20585%20Gray%20Yellow%20White%20Jan%208th.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="384" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61cU2JRzB4dW7XP3Hkzy7ixOzpKJgcHGBBdYfN5zwODrFzy8mjceqtMWo8O5fKDb02bPWQT6T0fSNgUO2ksQasqkwJ7jdMDCPw8b77d3-_kbnZcej5uGtW4mqK6wkf-WiQ0YkyoMYU3KzZg2wVGxm-lxFz9dX4IsNE-AMOgCnzY5ssbqyVgEgIZWAOs9h/w221-h221/1-16-24a%20zzz%20CIC%20585%20Gray%20Yellow%20White%20Jan%208th.jpg" width="221" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwpOE_gj_ZtEI8dOx8y8FuzCGd6lUq3uw-4Gueagz6U2ymudpfdKT7trGNq0uLOkF-fB8p_lnPeuZKPNccBMycxedGO4he0odfVHligVekpp8Z9zfVek-0ZEhzI11at-h4eqcETDolEtxRIrqErytEPM7ln2efYJY4GzKw8llNPEzf-OqiSHZs-Cfk967i/s800/1-16-24a%20BI-BDay%20Angel-front2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwpOE_gj_ZtEI8dOx8y8FuzCGd6lUq3uw-4Gueagz6U2ymudpfdKT7trGNq0uLOkF-fB8p_lnPeuZKPNccBMycxedGO4he0odfVHligVekpp8Z9zfVek-0ZEhzI11at-h4eqcETDolEtxRIrqErytEPM7ln2efYJY4GzKw8llNPEzf-OqiSHZs-Cfk967i/w355-h266/1-16-24a%20BI-BDay%20Angel-front2.jpg" width="355" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u>Supplies: </u></div></div></span></div>

Many I never even knew existed, and I learned a few fun facts about others. The challenge host, Makira, provides a listing of “inspiration” to help learn more about Amusement Parks around the globe. That is where I learned about “<a href="file:///E:/aa-blog%20posts%20and%20info%20(saved%20on%202-12-23)/The%20Cats%20of%20Disney"><span color="windowtext">The Cats of Disney.</span></a>” As a grade school student, I remember seeing the always sweet and gracious, Walt Disney, talking about the park he had built in far-off California, and it looked both amazing and magical. Little did I know that there were cats that actually got to live there! Thanks to a link that Makira posted, I learned about them… and you can, too!)</span></div></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial;

For me, it meant zero</i> energy <i>and my brain couldn’t make the words to write up details! Ack!<o:p></o:p></i></span></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I am honored to have served as a Guest Designer for Beccy Muir at Beccy’s Place and am now one of her “Contributors” (which means that she provides me with digis or clear stamp sets several times a year and I get to create cards or other items with them!) It is always fun to see the images Beccy invites me to use. This time I used 1 digi and 1 sentiment (which I printed off as two to provide the ”rest of the story” on the inside of the card!) from one of Beccy’s new yummy food themed sets named, appropriately, <a href="https://beccysplace.com/french-fries-digital-stamps/"><span style="text-decoration-line: none;">French Fries</span></a>, I love that the set includes a newspaper wrap for the fries, so opted to go with a neutral color scheme… with a bright yet transparent splash of color from a red plastic index divider sheet. (If you follow my blog you’ll know that I use these wonderful items quite often. Sometimes called document file folders, they come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in the office supply section of most stores. They're cheaper than colored vellum and more translucent. Punches and dies don’t work on these sheets, but they are easy to fussy-cut with a sharp pair of scissors.) I also paper-pieced the image, printing off an extra copy of the news wrapping layer and adding it with foam tape to add depth to the image.

Muir, from Beccy’s Place is holding a retirement sale of several digi sets for
50% off. A few of them are favorites of mine so I’ll be posting cards made with
them between now and March 31</span><sup style="background-color: white;">st</sup><span style="background-color: white;">. Check them out </span><a href="https://beccysplace.com/sale-items/" style="background-color: white;">HERE</a><span style="background-color: white;">!</span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-top: 0in; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> For this card, I took a
photo of a recipe card that I’ve had in my collection for over 4 decades. Sandbakkels
are a Norwegian sugar cookie that was one of the family Christmas holiday
traditions in my hubby’s childhood home. He is the primary baker in our family,
and early in our marriage, his sisters
gave him a tray stacked with their mouthwatering Sandbakkels, a set of tins so
he could carry on the tradition, and this recipe. (This recipe is from my sister-in-law,
Louise. It was passed down to her from her mother-in-law. The original is
handwritten so is actually an heirloom, right?! And the almond extract stain,
accidentally added by my sweet hubby, makes it even more precious to me.) </span></span></div><div style="background: white; margin-top: 0in; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: georgia;

background were from a prize packet I won in an earlier prize packet from the
BYSHC challenge.

cards I especially created for the December Caffeinated Christmas Challenge,
which is to include coffee and a snowman. So, I’ll get them posted quick before
before I turn off the Christmas tree lights and call the holiday a wrap (heh
heh… I didn’t plan on that fun play on words, but I do like it!)</span></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> This first card includes
a cute snowman enjoying a hot brew on a snowy night. I thought Tiddly Inks had
gone out of business a few years ago when the challenge blog was closed down.
However, I was excited to find out that <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Christy Croll, the artist/owner of </span>Tiddly Inks, still sells a nice
assortment of her digis in her Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/tiddlyinks"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-color-alt: windowtext;">HERE</span></a>) The snowman on this card is actually a
freebie that is still available on the old TI blog. You can find the link in the
supplies list below. </span></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUzSJAzQXPyb56uN5gOPDRLvrMbNZ5M_YmkFW5a7io_2iA0W4I5onbX-IaxfvG4Ra1Ovlk12eN_Wzpt1S8UcEjrHvYwjbFAJHt4CO4jUdbSwT-ThjkQg43bcZ724LS4Rc8apdI44B5p9zx74HVAZdSXD5SoM1bKvaK0xpzl-HPYKYL4NoIDObLsnfiIj_k/s800/12-25-23%20Snowman%20with%20Coffee-Tiddly%20Ink%20(and%20BP%20sent).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUzSJAzQXPyb56uN5gOPDRLvrMbNZ5M_YmkFW5a7io_2iA0W4I5onbX-IaxfvG4Ra1Ovlk12eN_Wzpt1S8UcEjrHvYwjbFAJHt4CO4jUdbSwT-ThjkQg43bcZ724LS4Rc8apdI44B5p9zx74HVAZdSXD5SoM1bKvaK0xpzl-HPYKYL4NoIDObLsnfiIj_k/s320/12-25-23%20Snowman%20with%20Coffee-Tiddly%20Ink%20(and%20BP%20sent).jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8bYRcHZexVDart3mbsKkmYG7FRkcdVuAGQYNGyUOFzdSWQSTW7nyAwmp62TGXBDZTTL6KH9vRA4E0uSJNOWljQX251I7YZYEf0zZ0l1f1G_vKRcMKd4JwTLCirf12j-c5fE09Vej8ByfkBOGmKrgxDPUSrsTGkRBUayEns10WxLP2kjx18Xca3c4Vlc8/s800/12-25-23%20Snowman%20with%20Coffee-Tiddly%20Ink%20(and%20BP%20sent)2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="632" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8bYRcHZexVDart3mbsKkmYG7FRkcdVuAGQYNGyUOFzdSWQSTW7nyAwmp62TGXBDZTTL6KH9vRA4E0uSJNOWljQX251I7YZYEf0zZ0l1f1G_vKRcMKd4JwTLCirf12j-c5fE09Vej8ByfkBOGmKrgxDPUSrsTGkRBUayEns10WxLP2kjx18Xca3c4Vlc8/s320/12-25-23%20Snowman%20with%20Coffee-Tiddly%20Ink%20(and%20BP%20sent)2.jpg" width="253" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9uDDH-LaPgkDZVzYkYSYcnswMCZuKJ6IS5PV-KGLbIVJNPFyhIYGm75bdPcscISiBmPxOe0fvQyFjzPAmphbAoIHm_9DPSm3AX9IStNSdkorxVQntx1Ewov4S4Qct5vah2Pled1WJVAhzLdkx6N4l6vywPaeLl4QqmxZkfKOugyCPy1WDPNtOxrP4o4Ze/s1080/zzz%20Caffinated%20Christmas%20Dec%202023.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9uDDH-LaPgkDZVzYkYSYcnswMCZuKJ6IS5PV-KGLbIVJNPFyhIYGm75bdPcscISiBmPxOe0fvQyFjzPAmphbAoIHm_9DPSm3AX9IStNSdkorxVQntx1Ewov4S4Qct5vah2Pled1WJVAhzLdkx6N4l6vywPaeLl4QqmxZkfKOugyCPy1WDPNtOxrP4o4Ze/w320-h320/zzz%20Caffinated%20Christmas%20Dec%202023.png" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="background: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><u>Supplies: </u></span></div><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: 9.0pt .25in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: georgia;">·<span style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">

Christmas over, I wanted to start making cards to celebrate 2024 to in time to
get them mailed out in a short time. I planned to make several New Years cards and was considering ways to simplify the process when I saw this pre-colored
digi from Jan’s Digi Stamps and inspiration struck. I love <span style="background: white;">artist Jan Mehew’s realistic coloring of the
bronze foil wrapping on the neck of this beautiful aqua-colored champagne
bottle. So, although I seldom use pre-colored images, I decided thats what I was going to do this time! I again used my paint.net program to layer the png version of the image
atop a freebie background image, changing the transparency of the digi so that
the Happy New Year text shows through the bottle and top icecubes. Since I
didn’t want the champagne bucket and front ice cubes to be transparent, I
printed off a pre-colored copy and did some fussy-cutting, before adhering it
to the card front. I then added some
additional depth to the images with light grey and soft aqua markers and a
white gel pen. When finished, I layered the beautiful card front onto golf
metallic cardstock, and embellished it with a scattering of sparkly stars to
provide a party feeling to the card!<br /></span><i>(Note-

(PS- to help create some additional layering on the card, I printed the sandal onto vellum, colored it and laid it aside. I next made a base on which I’d attach the vellum; I cropped the “if the shoe fits…” paper and bright blue paper to size and used strips of washi tape to create pretty photo corners to hold them together. I then positioned the vellum sandal atop the base,</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> cropped it to size and adhered it at the corners with repositionable tape.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Then the fun could begin… I cut the Washi Tape into thin straps, then used an Exacto blade to cut slits where these would be woven through the base and taped underneath. It was a little tedious to do the weaving, but I do like the results. A strip of sheer ribbon, attached with a strip of the Washi tape, plus sentiments and sparkly stars finish off a card that will help to ring in the new year with style!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

loved the wonderful “Front-N-Back” stamps from Art Impressions. I started my
collection back in the ‘90s when a friend and I opened a stamp store in South
Dakota. Art Impressions Stamps were some of our best sellers, and the owner was
so kind and generous to us as new business owners. Most of these FnB stamps are now
retired, but I still like to use them to add a bit of fun to my cards. This
time, the little cutie greets us through a shiny teal “o” on the card front,
and we can see him balancing on his tippy toes on the back of the card. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">I also fussy-cut a mitten from the patterned
paper, so he can maybe get some treats from Mrs. Claus? I’ll bet she is an amazing
baker!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span> </span> I used sentiments from two Beccy’s Place digi sets. One reason I appreciate artist/owner, Beccy Muir, sets is because so many of her sentiments can be used with any number of images, plus they often reflect her wonderful sense of humor… which I love! (The one on the inside of this card always makes me smile!)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDdevcVF-Zx2xO5m7Ziod6A5MWRNIKldrHk5G65OfL91cke4YhQoDLQzekRfHq6BTuARpEtYHwah2k2-Q8__r9hlhbgsz-ZunWt6fz3EN2ImwJhNTBj1ixNe3rHvEysqMAJ4c5RoDt0h8mI62tV3V02ZQ2sjBlD5MgNPEoj_K_KuU4SFyF0yGekXn2aY-x/s800/12-19-23%20Art%20Imp-F&B%20penguin-easel%20card4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

served as a Guest Designer for Beccy Muir at Beccy’s Place and am now one of
her “Contributors” (which means that she provides me with digis or clear stamp
sets several times a year and I get to create cards or other items with them!) </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">It is always fun to see the images Beccy
invites me to use.</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> This time, the dig set is named, “Cat
Tails” and the cat at the window image inspired me to create a beautiful scene
for the cutie to enjoy while “relaxing”! A scrap of patterned paper that resembles
vintage wallpaper, small paper doily, and a scrap of striped cardstock, trimmed into
an oval and scored to resemble a comfy chair all help build a comfortable scene. As is my norm, I used scraps of the papers used on the card front to decorate the inside sentiment.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3r5PcgPOWNbm_4-otQ77lQ6czP_FDHfBtUYA0QG7vRDTbEObbQpjxi5FGiVo35zbjxJEtE_quDQ1zk2A9hNaGta-qWo_E-nQCQN34WSpFoqI59Dgq1VQzwfbFGYYtbIxxtFH40KHsBgg27Eulmy2xZNWyH6xnpjp21oB4LwddspFaGtXog5eGfXSbgZtI/s800/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3r5PcgPOWNbm_4-otQ77lQ6czP_FDHfBtUYA0QG7vRDTbEObbQpjxi5FGiVo35zbjxJEtE_quDQ1zk2A9hNaGta-qWo_E-nQCQN34WSpFoqI59Dgq1VQzwfbFGYYtbIxxtFH40KHsBgg27Eulmy2xZNWyH6xnpjp21oB4LwddspFaGtXog5eGfXSbgZtI/s320/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn3HnOHdYvZjSjX2i9eRszLPgXddxJOzgmEMf53ldBF_MirUUFIaEzRPJjGXUwU7YE3dejG6YcbyqdIBMAZ-EYwade48Un2Vfh1gc8WGnhUv3-uw62BGkg_uEgXl18FBVdHoDKDtdvATM6qQNGhQiftWx-3cdYoWgnvUsELMKCPNoY89cEBAtl8AAKzJIq/s1648/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1648" data-original-width="1319" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn3HnOHdYvZjSjX2i9eRszLPgXddxJOzgmEMf53ldBF_MirUUFIaEzRPJjGXUwU7YE3dejG6YcbyqdIBMAZ-EYwade48Un2Vfh1gc8WGnhUv3-uw62BGkg_uEgXl18FBVdHoDKDtdvATM6qQNGhQiftWx-3cdYoWgnvUsELMKCPNoY89cEBAtl8AAKzJIq/s320/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails3.jpg" width="256" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTU_P4wdpkElY4jjOedgCEM9JgS3JhvRiZ-_wBZNd-FcLHzbGCnOnalRgIqwp7TtbN0P9g1Tm6TqZzl0gEUn-BJcTDEHHd60srLQoUELJuJGOlsYwedhvYYuPXWi35OG5Zk3IifIb9ckqI9JIhdaUFkkxTSxk4QbzCaDDaiEJyqCEH7JsgM2ohnGTVv2M/s800/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="441" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFTU_P4wdpkElY4jjOedgCEM9JgS3JhvRiZ-_wBZNd-FcLHzbGCnOnalRgIqwp7TtbN0P9g1Tm6TqZzl0gEUn-BJcTDEHHd60srLQoUELJuJGOlsYwedhvYYuPXWi35OG5Zk3IifIb9ckqI9JIhdaUFkkxTSxk4QbzCaDDaiEJyqCEH7JsgM2ohnGTVv2M/s320/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails2.jpg" width="176" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIT73qYbHvEy2zVVWKFLdVFN6duqkO8NT68c3o3DwitigwDQQ262XT97aONFz7YesRThV9dBbk3fG_NcrMDXyMSkAJ0DjC3xoIKNM21yJcRIr5wDO5eLWZw2x3DrG07iEu05khtJwxi0t_9a9pMGc3KOnPthMNbtrq5-51R0hXHXe0t09hZFxfcM7A2uvS/s600/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails(WM).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIT73qYbHvEy2zVVWKFLdVFN6duqkO8NT68c3o3DwitigwDQQ262XT97aONFz7YesRThV9dBbk3fG_NcrMDXyMSkAJ0DjC3xoIKNM21yJcRIr5wDO5eLWZw2x3DrG07iEu05khtJwxi0t_9a9pMGc3KOnPthMNbtrq5-51R0hXHXe0t09hZFxfcM7A2uvS/w320-h320/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails(WM).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Ai6BOX3W3F8CYmPhI2EPiM5vAT9Z1VtOlJLHQd-RfNxBD1szHx99QR-LMQMpnNK0Tx_uQunvEVItD3hfgbjXA09LqVj9rLOUabgY3V8pSTwu-jDE6OHxUBsZaqDtz0zxDm-15X8PbMEIu_IQUck0h0qTN2dxiHOeEuN49UIkTDDF8U8I9N9qcVTUExtl/s250/zzz%20PoP_monthly_badge_12-23%23118-Music.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="249" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Ai6BOX3W3F8CYmPhI2EPiM5vAT9Z1VtOlJLHQd-RfNxBD1szHx99QR-LMQMpnNK0Tx_uQunvEVItD3hfgbjXA09LqVj9rLOUabgY3V8pSTwu-jDE6OHxUBsZaqDtz0zxDm-15X8PbMEIu_IQUck0h0qTN2dxiHOeEuN49UIkTDDF8U8I9N9qcVTUExtl/s1600/zzz%20PoP_monthly_badge_12-23%23118-Music.png" width="249" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKG1oJMVtUmXVdJCNU5hULcwgu1hnY_uSX7xjGeAQdLh4GVuBy8h8Tyn-QEOgsX67OyDEagfNNvw1GYOwOmde63dOgZ5mEgVRRK-BUisrmrY8IFUs-CkZ-e30rftOrQIfpc1782RknihxjeXQEZMj9NJ-HYjes2RRQGUdULdX7T72spjsCcFVqB8TVC7uv/s250/zzz%20SUYP%20BLOG%20BADGE.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="250" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKG1oJMVtUmXVdJCNU5hULcwgu1hnY_uSX7xjGeAQdLh4GVuBy8h8Tyn-QEOgsX67OyDEagfNNvw1GYOwOmde63dOgZ5mEgVRRK-BUisrmrY8IFUs-CkZ-e30rftOrQIfpc1782RknihxjeXQEZMj9NJ-HYjes2RRQGUdULdX7T72spjsCcFVqB8TVC7uv/s1600/zzz%20SUYP%20BLOG%20BADGE.jpg" width="250" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u><span style="font-family: georgia;">Supplies: </span></u></div></u></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">One thing that I enjoy about the digi sets that Beccy
Muir creates and sells through Beccy’s Place is that she always includes
sentiments. Many are versatile, like this one, “Thinking of You” from
her newly released Cat Tails set. It works so beautifully when paired with a large
rose-patterned frame from my scrapbook stash (which I’ve had for at least a
decade or possibly two.) I didn’t want to waste any of the beautiful roses so
fussy-cut two from the section that would be covered by the sentiment and used
them to embellish it. A scrap of sage green vellum provides a bit of contrasting
color while also letting the roses peek through!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsavkLbXt6p9e0wB6fcTaNa6pKGody5_3jYJ-vbFuaue-xl1S7USfLj1gZUa4cYFmODtMx3YbxmT2_aPUD90qgP-yrqL-KKXjE9E6p7iBNsuhjScJDUGKXs87Ar4Z-PAB0gjoKG1mm2uBp_M4gRTsIhy6q9opTGTylg-d8-d-8tLtnTqEeUqXPnV3nzDh1/s1253/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails-Thinking%20of%20You-Rose%20frame%20(PSX).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1215" data-original-width="1253" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsavkLbXt6p9e0wB6fcTaNa6pKGody5_3jYJ-vbFuaue-xl1S7USfLj1gZUa4cYFmODtMx3YbxmT2_aPUD90qgP-yrqL-KKXjE9E6p7iBNsuhjScJDUGKXs87Ar4Z-PAB0gjoKG1mm2uBp_M4gRTsIhy6q9opTGTylg-d8-d-8tLtnTqEeUqXPnV3nzDh1/s320/12-18-23%20BP%20Cat%20Tails-Thinking%20of%20You-Rose%20frame%20(PSX).jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u><span style="font-family: georgia;">Supplies: </span></u></div>

miscellaneous snowflake stickers from my stash. It features a large hand-cut snowflake
that has been in my stash for several decades. My sister Carol, who is also a craft lover, taught me how to make intricate snowflakes. This was one of my
first attempts… and I felt proud of it. (With practice, I was able to make
smaller and smaller ones with few oopsies. But when I found this large one in a
box in the garage, I just had to create a special card for Carol that features
it. (She knows I am a major pack rat, so I think she will smile realizing that
I’ve kept it all these years.)</span></div>

served as a Guest Designer for Beccy Muir at Beccy’s Place and am now one of
her “Contributors” (which means that she provides me with digis or clear stamp
sets several times a year and I get to create cards or other items with them!) </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">It is always fun to see the images Beccy
invites me to use.</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i> </i>This time,
the digi is named, appropriately, “Stem in a Cup” and decided to create a card
that would echo its delicate beauty and simplicity. The strip of lace is from my sweet mom’s craft box that
I inherited after she went to her heavenly mansion 12 years ago. I dip into its cache of treasures
occasionally when making a card for someone special. This card is for a friend
who is going through a really difficult time. She has been in recovery from
alcoholism for quite a while, so I knew that this sentiment would resonate
with her. I left the inside of the card blank so I could provide her
with encouragement and support… and tell her that I treasure having her in
my life! When I recently gave her the card, I told her the strip of vintage lace is
from my sweet mom’s treasured box… and that my mom would want me to share it
with her. She responded with a big hug! (I love making special cards for unexpected
reasons and need to do it more often. Hmmm... resolution time!) </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLoHvIr8TSSwGglbcu2YLjYdaj_k_xHhtaF7gqmT5FTgWWRhOOL813MSDAIKKICf5r-j5TOokXqJiF_fzN8vRhuk3BBIY0bR2OnLJUY6-tiYH_wAl8dBx4RF3trn7LAukeTyMnYJVPBTzgxwl4pZTRWUz5cyd9E6__9CBx4Z-Nz2ZQrjWpg8IEd3vDnA8J/s800/12-3-23%20BP%20Stem%20in%20a%20Teacup.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLoHvIr8TSSwGglbcu2YLjYdaj_k_xHhtaF7gqmT5FTgWWRhOOL813MSDAIKKICf5r-j5TOokXqJiF_fzN8vRhuk3BBIY0bR2OnLJUY6-tiYH_wAl8dBx4RF3trn7LAukeTyMnYJVPBTzgxwl4pZTRWUz5cyd9E6__9CBx4Z-Nz2ZQrjWpg8IEd3vDnA8J/w279-h279/12-3-23%20BP%20Stem%20in%20a%20Teacup.jpg" width="279" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpWuf5TZhEpGu9m33wiiFTln8N3SaQAZ3nPQa9_ugdn8_rK-eAQgNGElbnoY1jdRSgtoj_3bDjOy8euwDIebYrz0LhWG6x2DCszOAAXjXkm2X-NnzdcW1Or_fi8LxoKY2d1R1XVr1LJPJuZdPzVT5nam9Ca2bs-29xDrIkg4iWYbuaY67a-b6Lo2Y9nyfO/s800/12-3-23%20BP%20Stem%20in%20a%20Teacup3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="575" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpWuf5TZhEpGu9m33wiiFTln8N3SaQAZ3nPQa9_ugdn8_rK-eAQgNGElbnoY1jdRSgtoj_3bDjOy8euwDIebYrz0LhWG6x2DCszOAAXjXkm2X-NnzdcW1Or_fi8LxoKY2d1R1XVr1LJPJuZdPzVT5nam9Ca2bs-29xDrIkg4iWYbuaY67a-b6Lo2Y9nyfO/s320/12-3-23%20BP%20Stem%20in%20a%20Teacup3.jpg" width="230" /></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIS_gGOSq45tVSlrSTIhcKylpLhjdOfxRxL6bpUZALGMr88JT-uzglSPNu55H1pVC5xM3VJ8rid6cK8YDuW6cpLjIpfW5WnQC7BczWx6VAW6qJlurYb4d8MOwE9KOvE-qCREcVJTgpkVrd8Hls651CsZ391TTJcZJBY96GDOBRJL50NW4neUPTTvzP5LF7/s600/12-3-23%20BP%20Stem%20in%20a%20Teacup%20(WM).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIS_gGOSq45tVSlrSTIhcKylpLhjdOfxRxL6bpUZALGMr88JT-uzglSPNu55H1pVC5xM3VJ8rid6cK8YDuW6cpLjIpfW5WnQC7BczWx6VAW6qJlurYb4d8MOwE9KOvE-qCREcVJTgpkVrd8Hls651CsZ391TTJcZJBY96GDOBRJL50NW4neUPTTvzP5LF7/w400-h400/12-3-23%20BP%20Stem%20in%20a%20Teacup%20(WM).jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u><span style="font-family: georgia;">Supplies: </span></u></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">This second card features a sweet image from a company
that is currently seeking a buyer. I hope they find one soon, as a friend and I owned
a stamp store back in 1999-2001, and we sold Eureka's wood mount stamps in our
store. A few years ago, I found them on-line, and a short time later,
became one of their DT’s. I've always loved sharing their artwork so for now, I
just </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">continue to do that because some of them are favorites. After coloring and finishing this card, I made it extra sparkly so I could enter it into the current Time Out Challenge... then I found the perfect sentiment to fit the sparkly front. Yay BLING!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div style="text-align: left;"> I’m entering this card into several challenges,
including he <span style="background-color: white;">Time Out Challenge: Sparkly, and the </span>Path Of

dreaming of a white Christmas…”) <span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyrbZoiZKBUlQxdUhqU-myH_w0ao2n4ANomkw6UnAn9gwmlBBheiCG_Ly9n6ZDeDv6gAdItTD4kKIanVAV9YBGv9MlceNQp586qPboqwAkTdv2QrJWcJG3PWcCfxfsgzGEoEtmLiAJG4yy7P7Afi_g4-QAf4sdSgpJR3Hnm5ZP7Yz1CuwFN-HI6sPXkIgb/s800/12-10-23%20Eureka-Cat%20in%20Santa%20Hat.jpg" style="color: #2b00fe;

This </span><span class="InternetLink" style="font-family: georgia;">time of the year instead of butterflies the theme changes to “Fairy Time.” I decided to feature </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">a fairy from a fairly new Beccy’s Place digi named “Fairy Folk.” This card will be sent to one of my nephews with a special Christmas greeting. His name is Jesse, and although he is now in his '30s (or maybe even '40s?) when he was around six years old I was having a coffee date with his mom when came home from school. Running into the kitchen for a snack, her saw me, he smiled wide and said, ‘Hi, Grandma!” As soon as he realized it was me he grinned and said “I mean Aunt Kathy…” </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">I colored this sweet fairly to resemble Jesse’s loveable silver-haired, slightly pudgy Grandma. (I left the inside empty so that I can not just Merry Christmas, but also how much his Grandma Rose loved him… and also how much his Aunt Kathy loved him. And, since I stopped coloring my hair during COVID, I now also have silver hair. And, am also… well… a bit beyond slightly pudgy!!) </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">PS Mom also had a green thumb and our yard, and several window boxes, were also full of color and life. So... this beautiful fairy reminds me of her in yet another way. Sadly, I didn't inherit her magic with plants.
