Birthday Hugs

Hello all,

As you know, I'm always looking to try something new.  I stumbled upon a card showcasing this technique on pinterest.    I thought it looked interesting and I happened to have the stamp...so I had to give it a try.   It has a really cool look to it.  What do you think?

Cat Sympathy

Hello all,

I got a little behind in blogging last week.  Connor was traveling for work last week and I was managing the munchkin on my own.   We had a good time together, but he slows down the card making process.

Unfortunately,  I had to come up with a cat sympathy card.  My Uncle's cat passed away unexpectedly.  The vet said he had heart disease.  It is really hard to detect in cats.  His loss was very sudden.  Oleo was a handsome ginger kitty.  He was very playful and the only cat I know that could poop in a toilet.    He will be missed.

Here is the card I made for my Uncle.  Hopefully it serves as a reminder that we are all thinking about him.

No copics today.

Stamping Poem

Hello friends.

I found this posted on social media. There was no author.
I've been struggling to find time for housework....so this was perfect.
It will just have to wait... I've got some stamping to do!
Hugs to you all,
Chris

She learned to stamp on Monday
Her embossing was quite fine.
She forgot to set out dinner,
So we went out to dine.

She brayered backgrounds on Tuesday

She says they are a must.
They really are quite lovely
But she forgot to dust.

On Wednesday it was birthday cards
She says that chalking's fun.
Shading, blending and watercoloring...
But the laundry wasn't done.

Her card swap was on Thursday
Using green and blue and red;
I guess she really was engrossed,
She never made the bed!

It was shaker cards on Friday
Using techniques she just adores,
But she never seemed to notice
The crumbs on all the floors.

I found a maid on Saturday!
My week is now complete
My wife can stamp the hours away;
The house will still be neat.

Well, it's already Sunday,
And my forehead's feeling damp.
I cursed, I raved and I ranted....
The MAID has learned to stamp!
