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.

Make a Wish!

Hello, my friends!

What a long weekend of celebrations we have going on! Saturday the first was Canada Day (#150!), today is my birthday, Monday the third is Canada Day all over again because it fell on a Saturday, and the US celebrates Independence Day on Tuesday, the 4th!!

Can you spell BBQ?! And may I also say Happy Whatsit Day to you in your country if you are celebrating something this weekend, too!

You'd think I would have made an awesome red, white, and blue 4th of July card to share with you, but Hammy and I went slightly off course. We got the white and blue part okay . . .

I know this darling polar bear has made the rounds, but it has been waiting NBUSly for its first outing here. Everything but the sediment is from WPlus9's "Happy Mail" set. 

Challenges
  • CAS(E) This Sketch!: See below. I flipped the sketch upside-down to make it work for the left-facing furbear.
  • CASology: Fly. I love that the teeny flying images in this stamp set can be butterflies, flies, or fireflies. It's been ages since I've managed to meld a creative moment with one of awesome cue cards here and I'm pleased to be back.
  • Just Us Girls - Word Week: Celebrate. My card celebrates a birthday, so I hope it qualifies. Congratulations on your 400th challenge, JUGS, and cheers to many more!!
  • Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

I do have more UCB makes to share, but I think I'll save them for another day, seeing as how everyone is busy partying!

I sincerely thank you for all your birthday cards and wishes and continued get well messages! I promise that I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of being the center of attention! 😊 Mwah!

Enjoy your day and all the celebrations!  No, seriously, enjoy!  LITS!*
