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!

Oh, My Stars ~ 10MCD #21; NBUS #19

Another fresh week coming your way, led by the always provocative Monday! 
 
I think Paulina's 10 Minute Craft Dash is such a fun idea, but I sometimes have trouble coming up with mojo for the colors, so I was delighted to see that this time she had a "Stars!" theme.

To play, visit Paulina's Pretty Pink Posh website.  It's a kick!  I had so much fun, I played TWICE!

My first card:

I used a Darice "Circle Interlock" embossing folder on both cards (NBUS), so I embossed two half-sheets from PTI white paper and set one aside for the second card. 
 
On this first card, the unknown DSP panel is a glossy white with pretty metallic silver stars, which was hard to capture in a photo graph.  I used the SU! word window punch and sediment and wrapped it up in a shiny silver ribbon.

My second card:
The designer paper I used for this card is from DCWV and comes in a sheet with a large circle pattern and a sheet with a smaller matching pattern.  I made the panel from the smaller design and I punched just one matching circle out of the larger pattern.  The sediment is from PTI's "Glory Be" stamp set. 
 
I traced the star and the words with a Sakura "Clear Star" gel pen to shuzz it up a notch.

And that's two QACAS cards I hope you like!

Before making my cards, in other wise, it was a lovely day.  We met the kids, safely home from their vacay, had lunch, and transferred the Dukester back to them.  He was so excited to see those twinklets!
 
Since our heat wave finally broke, I was also able to do some much-needed garden repair. The only things that love the heat are weeds, tomatoes, and, oh, yes, this George S. cone flower!

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