It's You and Me against the world

I have been seeing everyone's gorgeous cards and I had to make just one. I have been overwhelmed by life, but had to take the time since I have so many coffee "things".  So I grabbed two different Tattered Angel Mist brown sprays for the background. I had some paper scraps of  paper that I had made by blending my Distress oxide inks together and die cut a small Spellbinder coffee cup.  I had a sentiment from TLC Create.  Then added a some twine, Spellbinder butterfly circle and flowers. There now I won't feel so jealous and left out, but I will need the coffee since I stayed up later than usual, lol.

Christmas Chickadees

I like to get several Christmas cards done each month so that I don't have to scramble at the end of the year. I found in my stash that I had printed a free picture quite some time ago of these beautiful Chickadees and had this evergreen scrap of paper I don't know the maker of either of them. I embossed a woodgrain background and die cut a pine cone with glitter and liquid pearl. I didn't add a sentiment since I was trying to keep it simple and peaceful.

CIJ Day 6 at CTB Stella Dear Santa note

Today it's Day 6 of the Catch the Bug Christmas in July celebration and the theme is to use an Old but Goodie image with the photo. For my center step card I used Stella Dear Santa Note.  I also put a banner with bling over the image and a charm in the corner. The patterned paper and two corners have poinsettias.
For Julie's card I chose a card from back in 2015 when she had a similar layout using sassy Gus.

Happy Birthday TMS 562

Today Tuesday Morning Sketches is celebrating 11 years! So they are having a party with SIX prizes to give away and some special prizes. Melissa is having the first sketch she designed as the layout. For my card, I made a birthday card using a new die cut that I got from My Favorite Things.  I added some fun paper that I found on the bottom of my stash from the Paper Studio and added some twine and star sequins. I thought this would work for a masculine card which I never seem to have enough of.

Some angels have fur

Well three days in a row with cat cards. Now I don't know why, but like I said before I have my family and friends that are going through a streak of losing their furry ones. Hence another sympathy card was needed after I just made a batch last week. My cousin just lost her 21 year old cat.  For my card, I embossed the white and black and for the photo I couldn't get the black dry embossing to show up. The stamps are from Newton's Nook.

Pet Sympathy Cards

We are struggling with the lockdown and challenge of not knowing what to expect and stress of change. However, it also affects our critters. I am amazed at home many pet sympathies I had to make. To I made a group of 4 similar CAS designs since I need so many. I have had two lose cats and 2 lose dogs.  One that lost a dog also had their cat get seriously injured.  So then that's just another stress losing a pet during this difficult time. I lost a cat a few months ago and I know my other cat is still struggling with the lose of her sister. So we can just love our critters and I know that they are trying to help us cope.
