Wishes - Using Up My Glitter Stash
I am now going through my "circle" phase. For some odd reason, I only want to make cards that include some type of circle. When I have time, I scour the internet looking for circle card ideas. Now, I have so many ideas "circling" around in my head that I don't know where to start! I did throw in a hexagon, but I like the circle better!


Thanks for Stopping By!

Big Love - Happy Birthday
Hello, Crafty Mates
This has been an intriguing week! We celebrated my eldest grandson's 19th birthday which was joyful and humbling. And today, our family also had to band together as the decision had to be made to take my niece off life support.
I was reminded of the prayer from the Common Book of Prayer (1559) "In the midst of life we are in death: of whom may we seek for succour, but of thee, O Lord, who for our sins art justly displeased?"
Cherish every moment! Celebrate every milestone!
BIG LOVE BIRTHDAY CARD
He is an only child who was home-schooled, so his constant companions are his two Cockapoos, Skee and Mocha! The little puppy is a nod to them!

The Dog Did It!
Hello, Crafty Makers!
I like creating critter cards but I find that I don't reach for my critter stamps and die often enough! I made this card for my friend who just got a new Shih Tzu puppy! Her cat, who is not very happy about the situation, has been acting out! I simply could not resist sending her this card!
The Dog Did It!
I purchased this AALL & Create stamp set when I was creating a planner for a cat lover. They went into my stash and were untouched for over a year. But I have used them twice in the past three months.

A PLACE TO START - JULY CHALLENGE: Anything Goes w/Optional Twist: Life's A Beach
Hello, Crafty Mates!
This month at A Place To Start we want to see your best "Beach" creations. Of course, you may always play both options.
Anything Goes or "Life's A Beach!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life's a Beach! Enjoy the Waves!
I have had this small critter stamp and die set since 2020 and it has never been used. The set included four stamps with matching dies. There is an animal group for each season of the year. I thought this summer set would be perfect for a split window card.
