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.

Eek! It's December!!

Hello, Stamplings!

Welcome to the month of December in all its holiday glory! Yup, it's here. Don't look around as if someone is going to make that not true. It's true. 

Let me help. If you need to refill your coffee cup for the 14th time today, please join the line on the right. If you need a 20-minute power nap, there are mats, blankets, and pillows straight ahead through the garland-dressed archway. If you need medication, that's around back in the alley. Just kidding. Settle down.

And if you need inspiration, I hope you always find some here! Let's start with this little blue number:
I have to admit this very clean and simple card brings my CAS-loving heart a lot of joy! To make the pom-poms, I glued a few strands of embroidery thread together and then snipped the ends. The punched star and JOY sediment were heat-embossed in white. That beautiful textured paper is ancient from my hoard stash. Remember the colored corduroy clothes we loved back in the day?

I made this card for the Inspired By All the Little Things challenge where it is my week to be hostess. As hostess, I get to pick a talented card artist to introduce to you and she, in turn, will make you an inspiring work of art! 

For this week, I have chosen my talented friend, Bobby of
 Bits & Pieces! For all the details on the rules and to see what Bobby and the amazing Design Team have created to inspire you, please click over to the Inspired By challenge blog. We all hope you can join us this week with your beautiful holiday makes!

Next up, a starry little number hoping for peace on earth. Amen.
I've used my NBUS "Wrapped Star" from Poppystamps to showcase a Brusho background. The bling is glitter Nuvo drops.

And, of course, I had to use the other half of the die-cut! 

Sorry it's a bit washed out in the sunshine. The zig-zag border die is from Lawn Fawn.
