Vacation

I'm on "vacation" from my church work this week, and I was inspired to make some bookmarks.  I've been doing a lot of reading lately, and posting on my other blog.  The link is We Are Not Alone in case you want to read my musings.  We are made to be creative in some way!

Still Inspired

I thought I was finished with the Christmas cards, but I continue to be inspired by grids and what is in my stash.

I love these little stamps by Studio G but I've never figured out how to use them.  It turns out they go nicely on this paper that I love but couldn't figure out either!

Puzzle Stamps

I've always loved Magenta images, and their puzzle stamps are among my favorites.  

 It was this photo from growveg.com that inspired me to get out the puzzle stamps.  

This photo is inspiring me still to do some other things - but Christmas cards first!

Six More!

This is today's output from the card factory.

These trees are made from glitter paper - perfect for the sparkly season!

Speaking of Grab Bags

 

Years ago (at Eatons department store!), I bought a grab bag of postage stamps.  The bag included some Christmas stamps, and they inspired these mosaic cards.

Christmas Cards

 

I started my 2023 Christmas cards recently, hoping to reduce the "deadline pressure" that I felt last year.  

I'm using all kinds of fun paper that I never had inspiration to use before.  This matching cardstock and decorative paper was part of a "grab bag" that I bought years ago.  Unfortunately, there wasn't enough of the card stock to make cards out of, but suddenly I had the idea to use them for trees!
