How do you bring light to a gloomy day?

The view outside my studio window is pretty gloomy - 


A little game of 'where's Waldo' with Mr. Cardinal helped bring a smile...


Did you find him?

This gives me the perfect opportunity to share that I discovered the 'culprit' with
linking my card the other day... it was the TITLE or FILE NAME of my photo!
Yep, take it from me: do not use punctuation in your file names - one lousy 
little apostrophe caused a great big headache with that Linky Tool! lol

I decided to embrace the day with an all-neutral card made with another birthday gift from a very dear friend - Concord & 9th's Autumn Inlay had been on my list
for a while... thank you for giving it a tick sweet friend!


The sentiments here are from Pigment Craft Co.'s Split Sentiments: Autumn.

a smattering of gold paint brought all the light it needed - see if you agree...



When my world gets a little too dreary, all it takes is a very white, beautifully bright CAS card to brighten my world.  Every year I make some iteration of this card, but today's is especially for Jen T. at Freshly Made Sketches #662!



A few old favorite dies from EH backed by a brand-new embossing folder
from Simon Hurley for Spellbinders!  

This sentiment from The Ton allows
me to share it with Just us Girls: Word Week JOY!


Thanks for dropping by today - your kindness always shoos that gloom away!

I know all about those grey days, so miserable and terrible for photography. Your cards are gorgeous, love the white on white with the pops of gold. So classy. Glad you found out what the issue was xx

Love both of your cards, and yes, the gold splattering makes it shine. The all white card is pretty also. Thanks for shaing.

New goodies will always make me happy, too! Wonderful inlaying and I look forward to more color combos from you! And that white on white made me gasp! Must find that EF!!
