Wishing you Peace, Love, & Joy

Hello!  I hope all is well with you.  It has been a busy, crazy week here.  I live just outside Kenosha, WI and things have been a little crazy.  It is so sad to see what has happened in my hometown.  To finish off the week, I moved my baby girl to college.  I know she has a good head on her shoulders but I am still worried about her and all the usual college issues kids run into and then add COVID into the mix.  With all that going on, I needed some serious crafting therapy.

I decided to use one of the Lili of the Valley digital images I bought during a sale a couple of months ago. I used this sweet image, Snowy Robins, and paired it with non-traditional Christmas colors to make 2 new cards for my stash.  

I used pretty much the same image, stamps, and papers to make 2 different cards.

 Thank you for stopping by!   I hope you have a great day.

Cheryl

Christmas Teddy

Hello!  I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.  The weather here was rainy and cold so I was able to spend some time in my craft room.

I have a couple of Christmas cards to share today.  This cute little bear was fun to color.  I purchased him from LOTV Digi Shop on Etsy the last time there was a sale. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a great day and stay safe!

Under the Weather

How are you coping while in self-isolation?  I am lucky to be able to work from home but I still find I have time on my hands.  I have been using that time to try to get my crafting mojo back. 

I treated myself to a few new digital stamps from Lili of the Valley's digital stamp store on Etsy.  My card uses a sweet image called Under the Weather .  I used some paper out of my stash.  (My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose paper pad)

Thank you for stopping by.  Stay healthy!
