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.

Swirl!

Hello, Stamplings!

I hope you've had a marvelous weekend! Wasn't that Super Bowl beciting no matter who you were rooting for?! I mean, well, no, I guess it wasn't if you are a Patriots fan, sorry, but that was some good football!

Unlike a lot of the country, we are having some amazing unseasonably warm weather. The bulbs are opening, the birds are singing, the mowers are starting up, and the neighborhood kids are kathunk-kathunking their basketballs in the street. We need lots more rain though, so we hope it's just temporary.

Meanwhile, in the Playhouse, Hammy can be found reading conversation candy hearts aloud. He reads the words, makes up a quick love story, announces, "The End," and then eats the candy. It's so cute! If there were a video, it would break the Internetting, I'm sure!

When the game was over, we worked on our February love mood board and made this:
This little QACAS number showcases a beautiful NBUS wreath of hearts die that came in my Christmas card from Bozena. Thank you, my friend! The sediment is from Avery Elle.

Is it me or is that last score line crooked? I shouldn't have said anything because now you looked. It does make me wonder how many times I've done that and not noticed! Of course, the little hearts had to be painted and winked!

What about if I covered the hearts with snowflakes and made a Christmas card with the wreath?
The NBUS snowflakes are from the Poppystamps "Polar Bear Fun" stamp and die set. I did a watercolor teal wash in the middle of the wreath of snowflakes and then added a few more snowflakes as embellies and a coupla straight score lines. The sediment is from "Scripty Holiday Greetings" from The Ton.

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

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and a 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 to return the favor!
