Hello Stamplings!
How are you? I hope you had a great week! It not only whooshed by, it brought May with it! Remember a time in the last century when May was way more sedentary and if she walked at all, it was more of a saunter? Then she joined the same gym March and April belong to (the one with the giant blow-up monkey in the sign) and the three of them now literally RACE through here like someone at the end of the year is giving away free stamps! It's too much! Slow down!
I've been really busy preparing for May company and travel, but I needed to participate in a coupla challenges.

I hope you feel the intended quiet hush I envisioned when you look at this one-layer card. I watercolored an old rose bud stamp from a favorite company which is sadly out-of-business. The NBUS sediment is from the "Anemone" set by Flourishes. I used an e/f called "Stately" to provide an embossed frame.
The little guy wanted to help, of course, so he warmed up Stella and schparkled the bud and leaves.
Challenges
- Double D: Off to the races mood board. I was inspired by the roses.
- Just Add Ink: Just add sympathy.
- Less is More: OLC Buds or Petals.
- The House That Stamps Built: Repeat Impressions DCCM119- One-layer card.

From serene to silly, here we have a 3D glittery bunny from a pack of baby stickers serenading us with his star castanets! He is lounging high up in a beautiful stand of stamped birch trees over an embossed birch background. The NBUS sediment is from "Full of Merriment" by Penny Black.
Yes, since you asked, he has just come from the office Christmas party. I know we've all been there, or at least I have, but fortunately it happened before the days of tweets and twitters, snappy chats, clap backs, and fanny packs. No, no, wait. Not fanny packs. Thank goodness they stayed back in the ol' days.

- Christmas Kickstart: Christmas bunnies.
- The Paper Players: Sketch.
- TIME OUT: Playful.
Aside: The Mister is beside himself to find out that E.L. James (author of Fifty Shades of Gray) has come out with a new novel called "The Mister." Also, will he get a cut of the profits?
