Birthday Wishes -

Hello Friends -
Hope you had a great weekend!

It is a beautiful sunshiny morning in Chicago - finally!

Just a quick card that went out in the mail already today for my niece.

Okay . . . I can admit that I create my own problems that can waste precious time.

1. I do not clean up my space after card making and cannot find what I need.
2. I do clean up some of my craft space after card making and cannot find what I need because I put it away which is not what I remember.
3. I buy single pieces of paper thinking that I have something at home that matches it and I do not.

This card is finally using a piece of 12 x 12 Stella Rose paper that I have had longer than I care to admit because no pieces of paper matched. Until today.

This is a 4.25" x 4.25" card.

Mojo Monday #290 and My Christmas Card Stash is Low Blog Hop -

Hello Friends -

I hope you have had a good week!

Super busy here . . . mostly my own doing. But those issues are for another day!

Welcome to the My Christmas Card Stash is Low Hop. If you are new to the Tool Shed, please become a follower and let me know you were here!

I was inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch here and this is what I made:

This is a 5.5" x 4.25" card.

This card is a bit different than what I would usually make. I used the same print paper just turned 90 degrees to give some cohesion rather than use more printed paper. The little house is punched from another paper piece of the 6x6 pad. {I used all of the polka dot papers in this pad and have all of the stripes and many of the prints left that I am never quite sure how to use. My own personal challenge is to find a way to use all of these prints!}

Cardstock - Bazzill Basics

Patten Paper - My Mind's Eye

Sentiment Stamp - Iron Gate Stamps

Ink - Staz-On {Timber Brown}

Punch - Martha Stewart Crafts

My Stash - Twine, Mounting Tape, Adhesive
