My Favorite Things Camp Create -- Glitter Card

I was able to spend a couple of hours in my craft room today and made another card for My Favorite Things Camp Create. This time I took on the Day 5 Glitter Challenge. I die cut these MFT snowflakes from some glitter paper and made the celestial looking background with Distress Oxide Blueprint Sketch ink, paint and droplets of water and a few silver glitter enamel dots.

I added a simple sentiment from the Birdie Brown My Favorite Things Santa's Elves stamp set. It feels good to get another Christmas card done....5 down 75 to go....lol.

I am also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday Challenge to Use Tim Holtz Products.

My Favorite Things Camp Create -- Shaker Card

For years I have been looking forward to retirement so I could spend a little more time card making and memory keeping. Yesterday I was able to spend some time in my office crafting. One of the things I made was this shaker card for my niece's birthday.

I was inspired by the Spectacular Shaker Challenge which is actually Day 3 of My Favorite Things Camp Create 2019.

That is it for today.....thank you for stopping into my blog.

Christmas in July

I have begun my Christmas in July cards and from the way it is looking, it is going to be Christmas in July and August. I need to make getting into my scraproom more of a priority now that I am retired but I have been so busy with all the home renovations. I am not personally doing the work but I am running around for supplies, making phone calls, pulling permits....whew. Feels like another full time job. Anyway.....I did get one card made and hope this weekend to make several more. For this card I actually inked up a stamp for the first time from The Cat's Pajamas and I am entering it in their Christmas In July Challenge.

That is about it for now. I will be back later to share a Traveler's Notebook page that I just finished.

My Favorite Things Color Challenge #121

My last week of work before I retired, I had a very sweet contractor and his wife come into work and bring me flowers and baked goods. I wanted to thank them so I made this card for them. This card is made completely with dies from My Favorite Things and I used the colors of their card stock to match their current Color Challenge:

That is about it today for me. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
