2023: Paper Smooches NEW Release Joy Snowman [card #170]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

This is my LAST Paper Smooches new release creation.... for now:) I just love this little snowman! 

I extended my stamps by masking his body to make it longer so I could fit the sentiment. I also layered lots of stamps and added inking, gems, and splatter. This card has sooooooo much going on- I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! 

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by!    

Be blessed ❤️

2023: Released from the hand surgeon and a thank you card [card #198]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

UPDATE: it’s been 304 days since I broke my wrist and 284 days since surgery. And a little over a year (390 days) since my first injury on this same hand, which was a crushed hand.

Drumroll please 🥁 It’s official- I’ve hit the LAST marker and have been released from my surgeon’s care🙌🏻🎉🙌🏻🎉

I was hoping for a really fun X-ray like my crushed hand (I was giving an A-Okay sign)… but this one is actually PERFECT because I made my surgeon a thank you card with my hand holding a shaker heart with my scar. That matches the X-ray flipped!!! 

This retired hand die from Paper Smooches is my ABSOLUTE favorite!!! 

Thank you for your prayers, love, and support❤️ This has been a hard road- I am not 100% but pretty close!! The doctor said I need to work on gaining strength back, which means I can start weight training again! I’m thankful to be this far in recovery🙌🏻

THANK YOU, TROG, for all of your help! I would not have come this far without YOU
❤️ 143

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by!    

Be blessed ❤️

2023: MORE Paper Smooches NEW Release [cards #166-168]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm back with more Paper Smooches goodies- I just loooooooooooooove PS images!! These are some of my favorite cards! The detail and layers that I created using new-to-me techniques make these cards hard to give away-- but I will:) 

The first two cards came about after a mistake! I wanted to do a green themed Christmas card but it didn't look right... so I scrapped the idea and started over using some of the green candies on the blue background. Perfect! Then I had an idea to do green and pink and to add a different sentiment... PERFECT again:) I love how these turned out. 

The new-to-me technique is ink blending a background. I hate getting ink on my fingers and all over my workspace... but I think I'm liking it more than I thought! 

This next card is my FAVVVVVVVVVVORITE! I used my favorite technique of fussy cutting for these snowmen-- too cute:) 

That's it for me today. I've got one more Paper Smooches card to share and a WHOLE BUNCH of my Christmas cards that I've made in the last few weeks!!! I've been busy since I was released from the surgeon's care on Nov. 30th!!! MORE to come:)

THANKS so much for stopping by!    

Be blessed ❤️

2023: Paper Smooches NEW Release [card #167,169,172,174,175,176]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I'm popping on quick to post some of my creations using the NEW Paper Smooches vault release! You can check out each project on my IG page HERE. 

I tried to make a modern tree using the Happy Holly Days stamp/die set. 

This little walrus really has a great face for the cold weather, and it's EXACTLY how I feel when it gets cold too 🥶

This little birdie is too cute:) The patterned paper is from Queen & Co. Handmade Holiday and Playful Solids 6x6 papers.

This next card had something from EVERY. SINGLE. NEW. RELEASE SET!!! Trav really liked this one and helped me design it:) LOL!

From everything plus the kitchen sink to a very CAS card! LOL I like to make different styled cards to keep it interesting. 

I still have LOADS of Christmas cards to share... but this next one is for Valentine's Day or just for any day! 

That's it for me today. I do hope to get back on here with more of a regular post schedule... but does anyone read my blog anymore? I have made over 215 cards this year alone... would anyone be interested in seeing every single card? Reading about them? ❤️ Just trying to figure out what the best use of my time and this blog will be for 2024. 

THANKS so much for stopping by! I have around 30 more cards to share before Christmas and then hopefully I will have even MORE to share once I get more time in the studio before the new year:) 

Be blessed ❤️
