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!

Bunny in the Pumpkins; Peace in the Poinsettias

Hello Stamplings!

And to my American friends, "Hello, Spooklings, and Happy Halloween!" In this country we cardmakers are in the Manic Months. (Possibly maniacal!) Whose idea was it to cram Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas in the space of only 56 days when there are 365 days in the year?! No wonder we see Christmas decorations in October! 

I'm starting today with a bunny in a bed of pumpkins. Say what now?
You heard me. The Alexandra Renke adorable bunny diecut came from a friend and he looks perfectly at home on an old, but well-loved, basket and pumpkins from Technique Tuesday. I painted them with my Ziggies, made a mask, and let Hammy skate around the background on his blending skates. He also winked the pumpkins and basket.

This card features another diecut which was a gift from a different friend. Aren't I the lucky lady? The poinsettia washi tape wreath is from Pink Fresh Studio. I used the SU Subtle e/f to add a, well, subtle texture to the background of this QACAS design. The triple-stacked peace sediment is a die from Winnie & Walter. The last layer was cut from a pretty aqua glitter paper:

Enjoy your day! 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! The Mister and I are pretty much recovered from our bout with Covid. Our symptoms were very light, thanks to being up-to-date on our vaccines and getting on Paxlovid right away. Thank you for all your well wishes, which I know also helped!

*Life is too short!
