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. Note: my Privacy Policy can be found at a tab below and you can find my NBUS Challenge online. I hope you'll join in the fun there! Thanks for coming by! Have a beverage and enjoy!

Winter Wishes ~ DJKASE #1 (Lin); NBUS #93; SSMC

Happy Friday!

Yes, it's true, we've whooshed around again!  Already!

I should squickly tell you that my former office did a bang-up job of sending me off with love and affection. Luckily I am dear friends with almost all of them after all these years so I'll still be popping in to visit every now and then.
More importantly, the Mister and I had a wonderful anniversary celebration which will continue through the long holiday weekend! At our age we like to celebrate with Gusto and, of course, his wife Merry. I'm going to try and schedule a post, maybe for Sunday. Once again, please forgive me if I don't get by to visit for a few days because of all the festivi.

Thank you all for your best wishes for both happy events!!

It's time for my very first Friday random "copyliment" of CASEing (CASE: copy and share everything) a card made by one of my beloved followers.  I shall call them DJKASEs and they will be numbered like fine wines and NBUSes. Aren't you becited?

The card artist chosen for today is Linda from Lin's Craft Corner. Lin is a retired doting grandmother of six who has been blogging since 2011. She makes lovely clean and simple cards! This is the card of Lin's that I chose to copyliment:
LIN'S CARD ABOVE
Isn't it gorgeous?  Because Lin's card was made in the fall and used fall colors, I changed it to reflect wintertime. 

Here is my DJKASE of Lin's pretty card:
DJKASE above
The evergreen stamp is from a Hero Arts set called "Needles and Cones" and the NBUS sediment is from a PTI set called "Bigger Blooms." I used a smaller SU pine needle stamp to make the background design on the card base. All the ingredients are listed below.

Lin, I hope you are pleased. Thank you for following and leaving me supportive and sweet comments!

I'm going to link my card with the current challenge of "Anything Goes" over at Simon Says Monday Challenge.  The link will take you to all the fine print details and I hope you can join in!

Okay, I made up the word copyliment and now I have another new word for you. I don't know who coined it, but I know a lot of us resemble this remark!

Now I'm the last person on earth to criticalize anyone's grammermama, but wouldn't it flow better through your brain pipes if it read:  "The inability to start something until you've had a cup of coffee."? Either way, it's true that!

Enjoy your day and your beverages!  No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS!* 

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower!  Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor.
