Incredible Like You Thank You

This is the third card I made for the last My Inky Friends design challenge. I used SEVEN stamps from the Incredible Like You photopolymer stamp set! Can you spot them all?

I also used some now-retired Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper from the Holiday catalog that just ended. One can never have too much glimmer paper, in my opinion. And one can never have too many Thank You cards on hand, either!

Amazing Life!

My neighbor had her birthday last week, but she doesn't like people to make a big deal about it. Her granddaughter, grandson-in-law, three great granddaughters, and friends gathered at the local pizza place to celebrate. We were invited, so I made this card for her.

This is the neighbor who came over with her husband (sadly, he passed last year) and introduced themselves to the new folks who had just moved in. We were so relieved to know that we had really nice neighbors, and they have treated us like family right from the start!

Anyway, she really likes her sweets, and we occasionally drop by her place with something sweet to share. She says that we're trying to sweeten her up, but it won't work, and we tell her we'll keep trying, LOL!

This is the Amazing Life bundle, which includes the awesome Rectangle Stitched Framelits. I used them to cut out the greeting, as well as the stitched frame. Had to fussy cut the flowers, though, but that went quickly. Clear Wink of Stella was added to the cake, and the word CAKE.

Happy New Year, and Thank You!

I just wanted to take some time to wish you all a New Year blessed with contentment, good health, and lots of creativity! I find myself focusing more and more on being appreciative of all the good things in my life. I have a home that protects me from the elements, plenty of (too much!) food, a loving husband who puts up with my many idiosyncrasies, and good health.

Heart's Delight Cards, Just Because, Occasions 2019, Thank You, Stampin' Up!

Yes, there are things about this house that bug me, like the truly awful flooring in the kitchen and dining room, and the "Gag Me Green" paint in the bathroom, but I have a home - and too many people don't. I have shoes on my feet. I have a car - granted it has 125,000 miles on it, but it's still reliable and has taken me so many fun places!

And I have many friends that I've made through a shared love of stamping. This includes you, even if you are just a lurker on my blog. I am grateful that you spend a few precious minutes of a finite life here seeking inspiration, and appreciate each and every one of you!

So, my resolution is to stress less, smile more, and look for the good in everything. I think that's doable! This card was one of the extra My Inky Friends color challenge cards that I made, and it seemed appropriate to dedicate it to you. It's the Just Because host set coming in a couple days. Here's to a great new year!
