Oh! the fun!

No challenge, no deadlines - a just for fun few hours of play to share with you today!  You know that I got the C&9th Spring print die for my birthday... and cut this:

From that I made a purple/blue card for Color Hues, 

and a pretty cream, red, and green for Color Throwdown, too.

But still, I was left with dozens of pieces - so I put together 

these:

Tom was blocking the light - tee hee!

And I found an even BETTER way to make a 'jig' for piecing

by using the die and an embossing mat...

Which made putting these together really quick:

Using some other elements from the die set and coordinating

stamp set I quickly had a set of 6 cards for a gift set for my fabulous

stained glass creating cousin!

Because I like to mix it up a bit, there were two that I left some of the

white un-papered: 

and two that I added texture to using my SU! Subtle Texture

embossing folder before gluing the pieces down:

So, in the time it takes to watch a full-length movie on Prime,

I have a wonderful gift to give!  OH, and this:

Packed away for a rainy Spring Day - if I can wait that long!

For those of you who are saying they can't find this, C&9th has the

bundle I bought right HERE!

Color Hues #100

You might remember there was a tray-full of bits and pieces cut from colored cardstock recently - guess who picked out all the blue and purple pieces yesterday?  While without power.  Bundled up to keep warm in her 57-degree home?  Yes, that's how much I love you Color Hues! 

Happy 100th!

Since there were three shades of each card cut, it was easy

to make another!

I love the 'stained glass' look of these - that's why one of them is

heading to my fabulous cousin in Denver who creates stained glass

masterpieces from Masterpieces!  This is one of them:

I'm looking forward to the next 100, my friends!
