Hello, friends!

I know that you probably never check this site because I rarely post but wanted to make sure that it does work and that if you wish to reach out to me that you still can!    Hope all is going well with you!

Time flies...

 when you are having fun.    Obviously I must have been having loads of fun since I have not posted in ages.    I guess I would agree since I have been happily making and sending cards.   I'm going to post a few of my recent cards for you.   Enjoy and comment if you like them!    At least I will know if anyone is reading my posts.    Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you to the KC Symphony Alliance for allowing me to share some of my handmade cards at their recent raffle to raise money to support some of their wonderful community projects!    It was a pleasure to be included and I hope that 2020 is an awesome year for the KC Symphony!    Attached are a couple of samples of cards that I provided.    I thought it was a good fit to showcase our KC Chiefs and Royals!

Visions of Spring card

Here is a card inspired by a dimensional technique demonstrated by Jennifer McGuire (www.jennifermcguireink.com) the other day.    My card is not nearly as awesome as hers but I was pleased with the outcome.    It helps me think that Spring might actually be close!   (PLEASE...we can't deal with cold and snow much longer...we need a break!)

Another Project Completed!

I'm enjoying retired living and crafting EVERY day!   My recent project is featured below.   It was started actually as a fail in a different project.   I was trying to create a canvas with a light pink color however in my haste I didn't let it dry and then second coat actually started removing the first coat.   It was AWFUL but I don't waste anything and decide to make use of the canvas.    In the end I really like what I made.  It is inspirational to help me keep creating!   

SURPRISE!!! Another post for 2019

As I mentioned, I have a new crafting "toy" (die-cutting machine) which I LOVE!    Here is my latest creation.   A new mousepad!   It was actually a happy accident of sorts.   The text was supposed to all be horizontal but I was being lazy and rushed to press everything at once instead of in sections.   But I actually like the result better!    Now...what to make next?

2019 has arrived!

   (I'm laughing to myself because my last post was a year ago in which I declared that I would do better about posting...)   Oh well...it was a good year.   Any year that we are still breathing and healthy is good, right?    I did have sinus issues for the better half of the year but that is in the past and one must think positive for future good health.    I got a new die-cutting machine for my birthday and have been crazy crafting with it.    Also got an Easy Press so I can use iron-on vinyl to decorate and craft with.   LOVE them!    Here is my 2019 card that I created.   I'm sharing here to wish you all the best for 2019!   It's not much but I'm still learning how creative I can be with the new toys.   Anyway...maybe this year I will post a few more items on my blog.   :-)
