Post office delay

I sent a birthday card to a dear friend on July 14th. She didn't receive it and it didn't come back to me although I put a return address on it. I got an email on August 22nd saying she received the birthday card! I'm so glad it got there, even if late.

I used my Bees and Butterflies paper from Paper Rose. Then using a blast from the past product, I added gems from The Robin's Nest. They are acrylic flat bottom jewels in different colors. I have lots of them and lots of products I don't use and that is a shame and wasteful. So, I plan to include things I've purchased in the past on the cards I make now. It's a mesh of old and new. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from another dear friend. I missed getting it when it was offered and she was nice enough to send hers to me. 

This is week four on 
and it's anything goes so I'm adding this card.

How many times do you have to check on "I accept cookies" before they send them?

Purple Haze

This card uses some of my new Purple Haze 6x6 paper from Paper Rose. I used a cover plate over it from Kat Scrappiness in white cardstock and a cut apart from the paper pack. I like the soft look it gives. 

Born to be wild . . . until nine p.m.

Last one

This is just a quick card made with the same daisy paper. I cut it diagonally and used the reverse side along with the daisy side. Very simple and easy.

Never ask a woman who is drinking wine straight from the bottle how she's doing.

One more daisy

I have another daisy card if you can stand it! I got a bit carried away with them. This paper is from Delightful Daisies from Crafter's Companion  It has 36 sheets so I know there will probably be more cards in the future! This is a new technique I learned from a YouTube video. In a moment that I thought was brilliant, I changed the view to alpha on crafters I've saved and now I can't find her. I knew where she was on my list but when the list changed, she is no longer in the same place and of course, I don't remember her name. I'll let you know when I find her. Anyway, the front flap opens on the card front, as does the card front. I used the same daisy die from Poppy Stamps.

I'm not a fan of four letter words and avoid them all the time. Words like dust, iron, cook, mend, work and diet. I'm a big fan of five letter words like stamp, craft, lunch and sleep. 







Be kind to one another.
