I am posting on my blog for the first time in a long time. It may seem like I haven't been crafting, but nothing could be further from the truth. I've been crafting--just not posting. Call me lazy, and you would be correct. I am posting occasionally on Instagram--so much quicker and easier.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is an exciting post for me, however.

I would like to say a big thank you to Sandie and Nonni for bringing me on to the team all those years ago.

I like how they came out, but they were more time consuming than I had expected. Each die cut required 3 white layers and a colored layer. When the entire card was done, I used Versa Mark ink to stamp a screen grid pattern on all of the dogs.

My snowy background in the top most area of the card is made from the SSS snowing stencil, white paste and Avery Elle shimmer spray. <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIh8_zW70xU5SYgpuBEuqukQnzIJeLMqiFRg4IaNCPWz6d-aZ28JZy5CS8zazjggo9_V54Eg_0wPbQEC6gjK6gcRe9OGAP9t0JLYs63tBaHC_TPCOsAcYFTf6aj_fr4jgyfsOn7c_p_KzQWNzoA8A58QB5b8qfvv7vr6isFjcEHSpgLCXEEGJ2FC5hYQ/s2770/P1120768.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2770" data-original-width="2447" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIh8_zW70xU5SYgpuBEuqukQnzIJeLMqiFRg4IaNCPWz6d-aZ28JZy5CS8zazjggo9_V54Eg_0wPbQEC6gjK6gcRe9OGAP9t0JLYs63tBaHC_TPCOsAcYFTf6aj_fr4jgyfsOn7c_p_KzQWNzoA8A58QB5b8qfvv7vr6isFjcEHSpgLCXEEGJ2FC5hYQ/w566-h640/P1120768.JPG" width="566" /></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIh8_zW70xU5SYgpuBEuqukQnzIJeLMqiFRg4IaNCPWz6d-aZ28JZy5CS8zazjggo9_V54Eg_0wPbQEC6gjK6gcRe9OGAP9t0JLYs63tBaHC_TPCOsAcYFTf6aj_fr4jgyfsOn7c_p_KzQWNzoA8A58QB5b8qfvv7vr6isFjcEHSpgLCXEEGJ2FC5hYQ/s2770/P1120768.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIh8_zW70xU5SYgpuBEuqukQnzIJeLMqiFRg4IaNCPWz6d-aZ28JZy5CS8zazjggo9_V54Eg_0wPbQEC6gjK6gcRe9OGAP9t0JLYs63tBaHC_TPCOsAcYFTf6aj_fr4jgyfsOn7c_p_KzQWNzoA8A58QB5b8qfvv7vr6isFjcEHSpgLCXEEGJ2FC5hYQ/s2770/P1120768.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1007" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4xBwb888oftNxhwQ6qvP2tuHFcKPEAbBuKyHtSWDpYlTp2L0jhn_dkHm8SCoJZ7vUtTL9Pb0swKblr6pTEmFDGNfU3fV_QSf0HFJb96Svc-m8QAXzkcY5wDykaxtdQJQCzkXtEAs1i107tEdIYj8quysPest_U8Ef_qCD1FlpoU2Qg5zQxCUQvP2Vrw/w159-h200/image%20(2).png" width="159" /></a></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDYGEf53EMKjY6F9YFAZ_M6pMIyfJVJkofXU_F2ZC2GbfIQn3iwrbY3V4BFmyMelkwh3yyGzG-XvhHD8ET4s5Hatyb_HTBys4ywxQ4aaII3tc3yYONN7GrdMIaCol0vjqfLtEcXvRYQEBuzAu2e6tKwEdfeISRBaGzhii3uFlNE8BnYS_ktpD_R5r3Zg/s800/SSS_Wednesday-Challenge-Blinkie-3.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDYGEf53EMKjY6F9YFAZ_M6pMIyfJVJkofXU_F2ZC2GbfIQn3iwrbY3V4BFmyMelkwh3yyGzG-XvhHD8ET4s5Hatyb_HTBys4ywxQ4aaII3tc3yYONN7GrdMIaCol0vjqfLtEcXvRYQEBuzAu2e6tKwEdfeISRBaGzhii3uFlNE8BnYS_ktpD_R5r3Zg/w200-h200/SSS_Wednesday-Challenge-Blinkie-3.gif" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next up is the first of a trio of cards I made playing around with the PTI Berry Branches stencils, a gift from my bestie, Kim.

I created quite a few cards--and I'm not sure that I'm done yet. But, because 2 of the challenges that inspired my crafting are ending shortly, I have taken a pause to post just those cards.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I loved Jacquie's sketch at <a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2022/08/freshly-made-sketches-548-sketch-by.html" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches #548</a>, but it took me a while to figure out what I would do with it. I really like how this card came together, and it was such fun to make. I die cut a whole bunch of book covers and pages from one of my new Waffle Flower book dies and used that as the vertical stripe in the sketch. I find this sentiment to be hilarious and true, and it comes from an older PTI set gifted to me by my BFF <a href="http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tracey</a>. I may have to make a couple more of these, as I can think of so many people who would appreciate this card.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDxz_nIhYYGPYYdrHAznfjL4bqNzC4PhPVoJTXfpH6719FDIr26D0tPUU5nSnz79nnO2gkvKJn5WWb6lUUKEtw4q-mzR7FsM_0QGQdNRmHaai_2TGxx1L5G8eFQ7Dw7gnr36p0hTIzDeUL37Y6L170qWzHzubMZNiV8yo-ERpo3_nCPGdQS3073KD6ew/s2286/P1120743.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2286" data-original-width="1944" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDxz_nIhYYGPYYdrHAznfjL4bqNzC4PhPVoJTXfpH6719FDIr26D0tPUU5nSnz79nnO2gkvKJn5WWb6lUUKEtw4q-mzR7FsM_0QGQdNRmHaai_2TGxx1L5G8eFQ7Dw7gnr36p0hTIzDeUL37Y6L170qWzHzubMZNiV8yo-ERpo3_nCPGdQS3073KD6ew/w544-h640/P1120743.JPG" width="544" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0f6irIPmxP2ZkQv9Regj6zt6NVBrGviWBcY3Z10W7plTuIkC7wGJISrDrgZS1pahpqylNBCji8PYONlPoR2vvGHgPyvpqEw9zo2OFW7EZKRFmoGEtZKMZZ3LQ50YQd9TRoT24Eix_wVy-TqEg47fYeSdErQR-mXJZwgp6zgG_l_idvUOqJNNzQuwEuQ/s400/FMS%20Final%20548-001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="286" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0f6irIPmxP2ZkQv9Regj6zt6NVBrGviWBcY3Z10W7plTuIkC7wGJISrDrgZS1pahpqylNBCji8PYONlPoR2vvGHgPyvpqEw9zo2OFW7EZKRFmoGEtZKMZZ3LQ50YQd9TRoT24Eix_wVy-TqEg47fYeSdErQR-mXJZwgp6zgG_l_idvUOqJNNzQuwEuQ/w143-h200/FMS%20Final%20548-001.jpg" width="143" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next up is a pair of cards inspired by the sketch at <a href="http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2022/08/just-add-ink-616sketch.html" target="_blank">Just Add Ink #616</a>.

I am popping in quickly to post two cards I made with this super fun new die I just got from Waffle Flower called Book Cover Die. I used it to make a couple of birthday cards for my book club friends. I decided to use Lindsey's color scheme from <a href="https://colorhuesthecolorchallenge.blogspot.com/2022/08/color-hues-46-special-tribute.html" target="_blank">Color Hue #46</a>, paying tribute to her love of reading and books.

This card actually was quite quick and easy to make. I pulled out a very old PTI stamp (Bigger Blooms, I think) and stamped one corner in DO Dried Marigold. Flipped the card over and stamped the opposite corner. It looked a little flat, so I used colored pencils to add a bit of darker peach to the flowers.
