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.

A Christmas Baublet

Hey, there!

How are you? I hope you're doing well! Any plumbing problems? You know I just had my personal plumbing problems fixed, but guess what happened yesterday? The main line to our home became plugged due to tree roots! Ka-ching! Ka-ching!

What to do?

Why, go to the Playhouse and talk to you, of course!

When I was resting and visiting friends around Blogland, I noticed a coupla five challenges that I wanted to participate in. Thanks to Serena Dipity, I happen to have a card to share that I made before Christmas, but never posted. 
To make this QACAS card, I cut the Poppystamps "Merry Ornament" from a snippet of Brusho background I made and then attached it to a fine linen panel. That was matted with a snippet of Christmas green textured paper that I've had since the end of the last century.

Lastly, I covered the bauble with Modgepodge Dimensionals. Here's a closeup. Shade your orbs!

NBUS Challenges

I want to sincerely thank all of you who played in my three-week, three-part NBUS celebration challenges! I've made my way through the amazing galleries in #8 and #9 and commented on at least one of each participant's gorgeous entries. I should be through #10 in a few days. You ladies are the BEST of crafters and friends!!
Please note that I have Pinterest boards for each of the NBUS challenges for you (and me) to visit again and again for inspiration! 

I will be back on Monday with the winners' post!

I'm very sad to share that the baby hummer did not make it. I've already seen the mama collecting spider webs, but I'm trying hard NOT to see where the new nest is.💧

But on a cheerier note, I want to share with you these get-well cards that 12-year-old Adam and Henry made for me:
All those early years spent crafting in the Playhouse with Bama paid off! They make GREAT cards for me, even if they depict bloody limbs!!😊

Enjoy your day and the weekend! 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 join as a follower! Please let me know you came by so I can be sure and return the flavor!
