Hello

I have items for sale or give away.  Check the tabs under my header.  New items will be added, so check back often.

Having trouble getting blog posts written, so I've even used Instagram to enter a few challenges lately.  However, today I'm determined to blog my last minute entry for Winnie & Walter Rerun No 33.  Crystal's card inspired me to open the last W&W stamp set I got: A Tree for all Seasons. 

I stamped the tree in Versafine Onyx Black & then used a wet brush with a rainbow of Distress Inks: candied apple, carved pumpkin, fossilized amber, lucky clover, blueprint sketch & wilted violet.  I've found the black Zig is best for black splatters & this time I used a bigger brush flicking it with my finger.  Much easier to get splatters the way I like them--at least this time--haha!  My favorite W&W hello die was cut from black fun foam & brushed with Wink of Stella.  Needed something, so with bated breath I inked the little bird & stamped it on the branch.  Couldn't believe I got it just right & it's amazing the difference it made in the overall look of the card.  I send lots of friendship cards, so this one will definitely get mailed.  I'm also entering Calling All Sistahs, HLS Watercolor, SSS Wednesday, Stamplorations Theme & WAW.
I'm still trying to make use of our apples.  Sure takes a lot of work for not that much applesauce, but it's delicious.  Also need to make some of our favorite zucchini apple bread & maybe one more apple crisp.  First, though, I've gotta get hubby's anniversary card done--only a few days away.  I'll catch up with your blogs, too, as soon as I can.  Thank you for taking time to stop by & enjoy the holiday if you're in the US.
