Question of the day: Do you use stamps with matching die cuts?
So I went to one of those art studios where you pay a small amount to craft by the hour.

I just sat down and made some CAS cards with some of their papers and punches. Here's one of them

All you need is LOVE. I totally remember last year while working with the 1-year-olds that I would be sitting with them during naptime and the teacher would always play the Beatles in Muzak form (so piano or just wordless). I listened to the same set of music, everyday for months. Lucky that I can enjoy it. I listened to it A LOT.
Question of the day: What colors do you not like?
Yay! I am only 99 days to Turkiye. WOW, that sounds so very soon now. LOL, well, just over three months, but still close.

I am trying to decide if I want to take classes as well as shopping. I just wanted to remind everyone that there is a card making contest HERE and the deadline is on Feb 25th. did you send me a card for the contest? please make sure it's there.....

Happy Valentine's Day. I hope everyone has a special day filled with love from friends and family. Do you have anything special planned for the day?

Question of the day: Who are your favorite stamp companies?
Happy Friday the 13th! Ooo, that sounds ominous. Do other countries have an evil type connotation associated with Friday the 13th? is that just in the USA? I have no idea where that idea came from or if it just developed due to the movies. Hmmm, inquiring minds.

Question of the day: do you like word stamps? what topics?
Happy Monday everyone! Here's a CAS (clean and simple card) using some great die cuts from Simple Stories. I love their kits, you can make the eight cards that they design and usually you have so many leftovers that you can make your own cards (esp mini sized cards too).
Question of the day: what holidays do you NOT make cards for?
Hope you are all having a Blessed Sunday. Here's a new LOVE theme card for today. I figured I had to sneak in a few Valentine theme cards...All you need is Love + Chocolate. Yum. I love both. Now I always have three day weekends Sunday is just a bonus saturday, lol

Questions of the day: What's your favorite snack?
Here's a fun card I made using Simple Stories papers, It says "Capture the love; It was always YOU!" I think I made this cute card out of a kit that was meant for Weddings, but of course I have been married a long time, and I am not going to be making any scrapbook or wedding theme cards, so I turned the supplies into cards like this one here.
Question of the day: which holiday is your favorite for making cards?
