2026: Thanks So Mush (again) [Card #167]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

So this card might look familiar... similar to THIS card. 

Well... there's MORE to the story... 

 

The card I made for our friend, John, took four tries for the background and four MORE tries for the mushrooms. The background wasn't working for me, not sure why, but I ended up with the fourth try and then stamped on two other ones not thinking about saving them. That is out of character for me, as I LOOOOOOOOOOVE using up scraps! LOL 

As for the mushrooms- I don't like mushrooms. This made me nervous to color them. And it showed in the first three tries for yesterday's card. On John's card, I ended up fussy cutting the mushrooms and highlight coloring. I think it turned out AMAZING! 

 

So skip forward a day or two... and I was looking at the ruined scraps... I decided to make another similar card. This time I conquered my mushroom coloring fear! I think I nailed this coloring--- I'm still a newbie but really learning how to color! Plus, I love the blues and pop of red for that snail!  

 

I honestly might love this card more than the one I was inspired by! LOL!  

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come 💌

Be blessed ❤️

2026: A Year in the Making-- Thanks So Mush [Card #165]

Hey hey, everyone!  

This card has been almost a year in the making… let me explain👇🏻

***Kind of a fun, long story but stay until the end!!!! It will all make sense 🙃

Last year on July 14th I had a fight with a rock and lost, tearing several ligaments (again) in my left ankle and bruised several ribs (as well as other injuries)🤕 Trav’s co-worker, John, made me a get well card with mushrooms on it [you can see it on my IG stories]. I wanted to tell him thanks for the card, well wishes, and help at work…

But I couldn’t do much for a long time… and I kept getting sick or injured… and I had other projects that were due…

Then the opportunity to make a mushroom card inspired by John’s mushroom card came up last month when Pink and Main had their monthly challenge as nature- this card fit perfectly!!!!! But I missed the deadline because….

I started having gut issues 😵‍💫 This meant that I needed urgent tests and doc appts… the first two days I dealt with everything alone while Trav worked 12 hour shifts… but thankfully John switched a few work dates with Trav so he could attend my bigger tests/procedure dates.

So NOW I definitely needed to make this card!

And that brings us to today—- I’m late for the P&M monthly challenge… I’m late in giving John a card… and I’m still sick 🤪

Anyhoo…. I love how this card turned out!!!! Fussy cutting, highlight coloring, texture paste, layers… I loooooove it! And I actually made another one similar to this using scraps because I couldn’t throw the background that was messed up out🙃 Be on the lookout for that card soon!!!!

That's it for me today.

2026: Get Well and REST [Card #164]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

 

I didn't make this card because I am ill/sick... I did it for this guy! 

This is my younger brother, Carrel (pronounced Carl). He thought it would be fun to try to "one-up" my health issues by breaking his right foot! I can't figure out who has it worse- him or me! LOL! I wish he lived closer as I would have gladly have given him my knee scooter (I think I've had three in the last 10 years)! 

 

I couldn't pass up this opportunity to send a card to Carrel to help encourage him to REST and heal!!!! He doesn't do well at sitting and resting so he needed this card! 

And because he has a pink cast (he did that for his daughter, Alli) I *had* to create a pink cast on this little bunny's leg. If I had a small knee scooter image, I would have used that other than crutches! LOL!   

 

Oh--- and my older brother, Leander, has been hurt in the last week too! Apparently he didn't want to be left out of the loop! He injured his ribs. I know what that is like too! OY! We are quite the threesome🤕 

That's it for me today.

Don't forget to get some TapeRunner adhesive during their holiday sale--- use code usa250 for 20% off! MORE details HERE! 

 

I actually neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to go shopping for some MORE TapeRunner adhesive!

2026: Catching up

Hello, friends! 

Let's catch up--- I've been really ill with some random gut issues, which caused me to have urgent doctor visits and CT scans with both oral and IV contrast... that showed a mass on my uterus, a cyst on my liver, and colitis. I've been to the gynecologist for an ultrasound to check out the mass, the ENT for throat ulcers (which I also suffer from), the GI for a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I also had some other tests and several blood work... no news just yet. I hope to have answers soon. 

 

So if you were wondering why I haven't been around... that's why:) 

 

And because I haven't been around I have missed posting several cards I've designed for friends, family, and DT releases. 

 

I'm catching up and posting a few of my cards in one post. You can always find MORE on my IG page.  

These cards were created for friends and family, all using products that I've had laying around and never used. I had fun creating and can't wait to get back into the studio to play MORE! But first I need to get better <3 

That's it for me today.
