Hello Everyone!  Welcome back!  I hope you've managed to get some therapeutic time in your craft room this week!  This little sloth might just be perfect for "hump" day! Isn't he sweet?  Anyone else feeling this way though???  The weeks are definitely dragging on while COVID is still around.  Hoping this all ends soon, but in the meantime, I will be grateful that we live in a time we have tools such as Zoom and Facebook to stay connected! To create this card: Start with a piece of 4 1/4" x 11" Mossy Meadow cardstock.  Score at 5 1/2" to create a...

Hello! Happy Friday!  Today I have a card that I made a while back.  I may need to crack open this stampset again--it's been a while! I just love this sentiment!  "If flowers were hugs, I'd send you a thousand" how perfect is that?  And as an added bonus, flowers can be sent while maintaining social distancing ;)  If you need flowers, make sure you check out my friend Michelle's store at www.chartreuseflowerworks.com COVID has put a HUGE damper on small businesses and many, like Michelle's and my own businesses, may be forced to close their doors without support.  IF you...

Hello!  Welcome back!  Today I have a swap card to share with you from fellow demonstrator Miriam Permut.  I love how Miriam used the same colours as the card I shared yesterday, but in a different way!
