*A Bucket of Snow*

I saw a card using a similar colour combination in the last few weeks and I decided to use it for a Christmas card... and while it's not horrible, it's not my favourite.  I think I might need to revisit it but maybe in a less bold way.

Items Used:

*Cardstock:  Neenah Classic Crest Cover Solar White 110lb

*Images:  Honey Bee Season to Sparkle

*Ink:  Catherine Pooler Suede Shoes, Grape Crush, All That Jazz

*Dies:  Honey Bee Season to Sparkle MFT Layering Snowflakes

*Tools:  Gemini Jr

*Awesome Party Fans*

Another card using the awesome Party Fans stamp set from Catherine Pooler.  This one is just stamps and ink with a little bling on a one layer white card.  I love this colour combination!

*As Wonderful As You Are*

Once again, I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest... one I can't find again to share with you.  I can tell you that I think that person's card turned out better than mine did LOL!

I saw the card and instantly thought I should cut up some of the laser cut paper from Stampin' Up! that I have in my stash.  It was a little harder than I wanted it to be since the paper is so delicate and I honestly suck with a pair of scissors.

*Summery Smile*

While you're reading this blog post, I am at work.  At work for the first time since October 24, 2019.  At work after having major surgery in October and doing 12 rounds of chemo from December to May.  At work...  a different place to be in the summer of 2020 with Covid-19 still making the top story of the day on the news, but I place I feel comfortable and at home there.  I'm sure I will be exhausted tonight when I get home... but I am happy to be putting the pieces of my life back together.  I am only working part time (2 days a week) for the month of July.  If things go well, I will be back to my full time hours (4 days a week) in August.

I timed this poorly... I should have taken the summer off too LOL!

Of course, this will mean a lot less time for crafting and creating... but there will still be days off where I will hopefully find mojo, time and energy for creating!

But for now I have a backlog of cards to share.... I'm good through the summer I think with the cards I have yet to blog!

I love how pretty this card turned out...  happy colours, but subtle....  just screams spring to me!
