A site for my handmade cards, accompanied by my photos and written meanderings which are occasionally witty, often tongue-in-cheek, and rarely profound. Beginning in June 2013, you'll also see lots of NBUS, which is an acronym I coined for Never-Before-Used-Schtuff.

Cut It UP #334!

Hello Stamplings!

Surprise! I know time is whooshing by, but don't worry, it's not Monday already! It's a fabulous Friday, heading into the weekend!

I'm delighted to pop in today as Guest Designer for the fun Cut It Up Challenge! The theme is Christmas in July!

Onefer
I used a NBUS "Drop Nativity" die which I received from a friend to create a white-on-white QACAS design using linen paper. The double die-cut sediment is from PTI's "Wonderful Words Christmas." I just love the simplicity.

Twofer
I went with mirror gold for my Twofer and I left out the center piece of the nativity die so you can see how it looks both ways. Again, super quick and CAS. 

(Hammy and Stanley are volunteering this week at the Rec Center Adopt-A-Pet, "Facts About Fur" summer program, showing children the ups and downs of owning hamsters. I'm so proud!🐹🐹)

I hope you'll pop over to Cut It Up and join in the challenge! You will find all the rules and the wonderful DT inspiration on the website. As I said recently, Christmas will be here before you know it! And working on a wintry card always makes me feel cooler, especially now when it's our turn to be horrid hot!

Enjoy your weekend! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!* 

See you Monday, maybe with your CIU creations because it's D = Die Cuts week! As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse
*Life is too short!
