Spending Time With You

A quick post for you today.  I’m such a fan of Stacey Yacula, and have been for years.  It’s been a treat since she’s been collaborating with My Favorite Things.  I haven’t missed purchasing a release yet.  Her images are so darn cute, and there’s fabulous scene builders in most of the stamp sets as well.  So I’ve colored “Picnic Pals”, and ended up being tickled with the results.  I started the background by blending Distress Oxides, using the MFT Sun Ray Stencil.  From there, I masked and colored the rest of the scene.  And for a final touch, I colored and fussy cut the picnic basket so I could pop it with mounting tape.  A few sequins, and Voila!  A sweet little card that couldn’t have been more fun to put together!  I hope you enjoy!

You Make Anywhere Feel Like Home

Good day to you! Today my card was inspired by a beautiful creation called “Warm And Fuzzy Winter Wishes”, by Nettyscards.  I was looking for ideas for my husband’s Christmas card, and hit the jackpot.  Always so grateful for the sharing that occurs in the crafting community.  I am also a huge Stacey Yacula fan, so I couldn’t get my hands on this “Warm and Feathered Hugs” stamp set fast enough! A little masking, and lots of color in the sky put this cozy duo right where I wanted them.  A fun and rewarding project.  I just hope my husband likes it!  Thanks for stopping by.  Now I’m off to finish up Christmas errands! 🎄
