Love both cards, these pink elephants are so cute and I love the design of your card. Fortunately I didn't have this mistake with fussy cutting and dies, one of my resolutions is "don't buy the matching dies when it can be fussy cut easily, buy something else instead ! 😂". Love your second card too with these adorable critters and the beautiful embossed background. Fresh looking with this green....Spring is in the air ! Love the pictures, always nice to see where others find their inspiration, and Nellie is so darn cute...awwwww. Hope you're fine, take care.

I have made the same mistake several times with fussy cutting and then finding the dies - you'd think once would be enough to ensure that I'd always check! My senior brain seems to have the attention span of a goldfish. Those Unforgettable heffalumps are always adorable but the ant and the grasshopper atop the beautiful embossed background is my favourite this time. Then comes the cheery picture of the birds enjoying the water and the perfect ice cover and my smile has gotten even bigger!<br />Take care, and hope you are keeping well.<br />Hugs<br />Carol x<br />PS Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM!

How annoying to discover the dies too late, typical! The really severe winds have passed now, but they have certainly devastated some trees, which is very upsetting as the old ones are so precious. Thankfully we didn't lose electricity, but I find listening to the wind howl around the house quite frightening.

They seem to think bugs are unique. I'm sure your recipient will, as well. <br />Amazing! One perfect circle of ice off the birdbath. Too bad it can't be saved for Ripley or some other interested part. Ice is so ephemeral.<br />Nellie is no fool...warm couch, warm pillows, warm sun.

I...Darnell, first of all, your ellies are darling! I like how you stamped on pink and then shaded. Oh, and great fussy cutting. I've caught myself in some of those moments recently. Thankfully not when crafting... only when paying bills, eeek! Your bug card is just as the sentiment says! Love the green and the embossing. My eye was drawn right to the itsy bitsy shadows at their feet. It's the little things, as always. 'Bout those phrases... at one time I did medical transcription and we kept a bloopers log of things just like that. Hilarious. "45 year old female with a hiatal hernia named Joan" for instance. On and on. I itched to correct them. Your pretty birds are a delight to the eyes! It was 25 degrees here when I got up this morning. More brrrr than usual. Our sunshine is pretty, though, isn't it? Finally, Nellie gives us all a reason to smile -- those little button eyes in her sweet face. A treasure!Leslie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242569371751832426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709379730385988881.post-23124944358983394432022-02-23T09:33:40.716-08:002022-02-23T09:33:40.716-08:00The pink effalumps are so cute and I'm not a b...The pink effalumps are so cute and I'm not a big fan of bugs but these are not threatening.
