Mortal Sparkle

Welcome, welcome!

I'll make this a quick post, as I have a lot to complete before I lay me down to sleep...  An NBUS stamp (which didn't sit in the bin for too long - yay), colored with Copics and sparkled with WoS, which elusively decided not to show up.  I took many pics and thought I finally had one, but nope!  I fashioned this after Michele's past sketch over at FMS, but lo and behold, a round of illnesses kept me from posting it until I could actually give it to my sweet neighbor.  I even used a little "a la Michele" by adding a little something to the edges ~

The tutu and stars on the hat have the sparkles IRL, plus the cake platter was colored with silver pen and the candle flames colored with gold pen.  It definitely shows better IRL, but that's my lack of skills with a camera and PS!  This'll be entered over at NBUS #84.

Supplies:

   Unity - Mortal Sparkle stamp

   MFT - Stitched Edge dies, Blueprints 27 die

   WF - Nested Dome die

That's it for today.  I haven't been in my craft room much, but I hope to be getting back there soon, or else I'll be sending Easter cards for Christmas!

Have a great week!

Hugs,

With Sympathy

 Welcome!

Today I have another one of those dreaded cards that we all have to make.  A loss in the (extended) family, but a loss all the same, so I made a quick card last night -- excuse the photo and the lighting ~

A partial panel that was stenciled, a green panel to highlight the greens, and a couple of tags to break up the large green space.  A foiled sentiment was added to the top tag.

Supplies:

   PTI - In The Meadow stencil (love this one!)

   MFT - Stitched Scalloped Edger dies

   Unity - Perfectly Layered Tag dies

   Splb - You Are Everything pp/die

   

That's it for today, thank you for the kind visit!  Have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Coffee Is Not Enough

 Good Day, Friends!

I have a card for you today but the backstory may be a bit confusing.  I wanted to use the "old" Color Hues challenge to see if I could make something viable (non-floral) using Peach and Teal.  Then I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and thought "I could use that"!  Lo and behold, I missed both challenges, but I still wanted to post so I found JUGS #812 - Stencil Week.  Yay for me, now to incorporate the stencil!  So today, I'm using two new-to-me products so I can also send this to NBUS #84 too.  Now, let's hurry along before I miss these too!

Haha!  Love this image...

Frankly I kinda feel like this most mornings.  You see, I had my thyroid removed just over 30 years ago -- yep, half my life ago.  Since then, one of the side-effects that I've had to bear is slow mornings.  I didn't drink coffee until post mid 30's, if that tells you anything.  Now I have to limit myself but it's a daily thing, I really don't like the taste (at least before the sugar additions), it's absolutely a caffeine thing for me.

She cracks me up!  I definitely relate to this gal.

I could say I look like this every morning, but I'm pretty sure she looks way better, seriously... before the coffee...

Supplies:

   Unity - Coffee Is Not Enough

   Alt. - Squiggly Lines

Have a wonderful week, I hope to see you all soon again!  Thanks for the visit!

Hugs,
