Charming Delight
I know I should be gathering my supplies for my visit to Marcia's tomorrow, but I couldn't resist putting ink to paper with my newest stencil set: Charming Delight! I watched Altenew's Lydia Evans put them to paper in a very clever way so that you end up with TWO panels - I do love time-saving tips. You can find her wonderful video HERE. My friend Therese used hers beautifully, too - you'll find her video HERE where she has lots of tips and a video for us as well!
I gathered some Altenew inks and my brushes and went to town! Take a look at the two panels I ended up with:

Meadow Reflections
Have any of you admired a set but for some unknown reason just resisted buying it? I don't have any reason at all for resisting this Meadow Reflections set from Altenew - it's wonderful!
Tom joined his fellow astrophotographers at our observatory Saturday evening, so I quickly turned my attention to the package that arrived in the mail that morning!
Here are my first stampings - on Altenew Reflections patterned paper that was given some texture with dry embossing after stamping ...

The Flower Challenge #91
Oh, I am so pleased you stopped by today! If you are here to celebrate my 10th Blog-aversary, please scroll down one post!
May I introduce you all to the May 2024 edition of The Flower Challenge! I think I may speak for all of us: coloring our flowers is the most fun of all!
Take note of the graphic... we're open for all coloring mediums! For this month, I've used the same flower and have colored it two ways. Today I offer you a water-colored version of this lovely Lucky Tulip from The Ton... I'm sorry to say they discontinued this one - I'm scratching my head over that decision!
10th Blog-aversary!
TEN YEARS! I hope you agree that is a celebration-worthy feat! A whole LOT of fun challenges I've had to play in, friends to play cards with, and you all have brought such joy to my days, weeks, and years! Thanks, from the bottom of my heart for every kind word you've left for me along the way, dear friends!
I couldn't wait to recreate my very first shared card. You'll find the original HERE if you are curious. Keeping things fun and using my words have been a constant over the years. Today's card is no exception... and the rewrite of my INSIDE sentiment is still relevant!

Two fun cards for two fun challenges!
After cropping the panel down with a stitched rectangle die, it was mounted on my card base and a simple [Betterpress-ed] sentiment finished my card. Thanks, Julie!

Hey, hi, HELLO!!!
I have had such a week - I won't bore you with the details, but let's just say it didn't involve much time in my studio! BOO!
