Dare 2B Artzy Day

Retirement?  You bet!  I'm looking at 10 months to go before I will have lots of time to do whatever I want to!  How fun will that be :)

My card today from D2BA uses the new Take Time stamp set. [Shipping will be March 1, 2019.]

The perfect sentiment, right?  I kept the card fairly simple to focus on the sentiment.

 See you next month with another D2BA Day!

CAS-ual Fridays Day

It's time for the CAS-ual Fridays day here on my blog [and over on the CFS blog too].

I started by cutting some strips of colored card stock, and adhered them to my card.  Then, using the Scallop Tags Fri-Dies, I stamped the bigger tag with the Full on Floral stamp sheet.  I stamped  the cute image from Tutu stamp set, and cut it out with the matching Ballerina Fri-Dies.

I am an avid fan of Grey's Anatomy, and this sentiment is one of my favorites. :)

That's it for me today.  I hope you enjoyed my card. :)

Don't forget, you can use my code for a 15% discount.  Check out the $5 sets.  

My code applies to those too!  [Can you say cheap? :)]

Just Us Girls Challenge #471 - Color Week

I might have pushed the "pastels" but I do have some! :)

I used the lovely Altenew Beautiful Heart stamp set.  By looking at this, it does appear that I need practice with this layered stamp set.  I'll get there.  It will still work since the average person doesn't realize it is "off". :)

Your turn.  Come on over to the Just Us Girls Challenge and join in.  See you there.

Seize the Birthday Challenge

This week the option is stamping only.

I might be pushing it by having water coloring [I think],

 but at least I have no die cutting.  :)

I water colored the squares and pulled out an older than dirt stamp for the gorgeous leaf from Hero Arts. [I adore the detail on this leaf.]  My Happy Birthday is from a retired STAMPlorations stamp set.  

My goal for 2019 is to mail out birthday cards [on time] - this will go into my stash for either male or female. So far, so good.

Your turn.  Come on over to the Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along.  While the topping is optional, being a birthday card is not.  Hope to see you there.
