Thanks! ... And, I'm Back!

Well, we have returned to the frozen tundra, as my husband would say:) We went on a road trip, leaving on December 26. We spent three weeks in Tucson, and then another five days in other parts of Arizona. We left there on the 23 of January and arrived back home on Sunday. We got our mail yesterday and I'm finally posting the birthday cards that I received! Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday greetings - I appreciate them so much. Here are the hand-made cards that I received. I'm showing those first.

And, here is a picture of all the cards that I got. I love them all!!

We had a wonderful time while we were gone. We did manage to bring snow all the way down to Mexico! And blizzard warnings to Albuquerque. And rain to Tucson in January. And now we're back just in time for school closings due to the extremely cold weather. But, it's all good:) I hope to be able to spend some time in my stamping room soon - I have some news items to play with.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Today Belongs to You

A friend came over the other day, and I made this card while she was here. She had a friend she could send it to, so I gave it to her. The stamps are all from a new-to-me stamp set from Inkadinkado. The frame was cut with an unbranded die. The whole panel is mounted on foam squares. I colored the images with Copics and added some sparkle with Wink of Stella. I also added a couple gems to the flower centers.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Happy New Year!!! And January Calendar Page

Wow - 2019! Amazing. I wish you all a wonderful New Year.

For this page, I used a Recollections stamp and die. I used Wink of Stella on the white areas of the hat. The sentiment is from an Inkadinkado set.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
