Hello, it's been a while. You know when a life event changes the whole family dynamic - we had a few of those happen. And as much as I love crafting, the blogging had to take a backseat. The boat has stopped rocking, occasionally a ruffle in the ocean starts motion, but for the most part we have a new normal and smooth sailing.
My family and I just celebrated 32 years living life with two heart transplants. Wow, 32 years to watch my kids grow up and a host of experiences that wouldn't have happed - without the generous gifts of life. Please have a conversation with your family about your wishes. It's a gift, so let the Doctors decide what they can use!
Today's cards uses a nifty card base from Creek Bank Creations called Happy Flappy Card Base. I was at a CKC convention where I happened on this Company's Booth. They had a make and take and I was hooked! Very clear instruction video on their site shows all the steps.
Fitting name for this Die set, don't you think? The second assembly goes quickly! The Happy Mothers Day Sentiment Stamp provides a sentiment for all 3 places. Didn't purchase the stamp set for "pull" so I improvised with what I had - definitely would look better with a size appropriate stamp set.
Warning, I dug into my stash of scrapbook paper, much of it was purchased many moons ago. I tried finding links but alas - they gone! For the card base I used Craftsmith Wedding Neutrals and the sparkly paper is from My Minds Eye - Laundry Line. The flowers are from Be Bold Blooms and sentiments are stamped with Ballet Slipper. The card front is raised with Foam Tape and my glue of choice lately is Bearly Arts Glue. My latest purchase (drum roll please) Anna Griffin Empress Elite has taken die cutting to a whole new level. More on that later.... Here's another card
Products used on this version are DCWV Bahama Moma Pad, Turquoise Ink, Honey Bee Stamps Tropical Bouquets Dies and a Micron 005 pen. The sentiments are from the same Happy Mothers Sentiment Stamp.
Transplant Recipients have to be very careful of germs! This time of year (cold and flu season) is hermit time for Bev, in the basement (my happy place) and I've been creating lots of cards lately, so there will be more blog posts.
Have a great day and keep on crafting!
