Here I am again with the last of my cards for catching up. I'll be back later in the month with my April card. I was the hostess for our March challenge. I decided to use this NBU image and die set from Technique Tuesday. It has so many sentiments with it that you can use it for just about any holiday or occasion.

 Supplies Used:

• Image and Sentiment - Technique Tuesday, Dani Deer
• Ink - SU Baked Brown Sugar and Early Espresso
• Designer Paper - SU - Spring Flowers.
• Embellishments - Sequins from my stash; Ribbon - SU Chocolate Chip.
• I also used the SU scallop punch as well as Nestabilities oval die.

 Hello again. I'm on a roll so why quit. The February challenge on Creative Card Chicks - SCS came from Suzy (SusyZ1104). She gave us a lot of detail for her challenge - Valentine's Day. I need to do more of these. I do a lot of Christmas cards and then drop off usually to get birthday cards done. Once my classes are done at the end of the year, I hope to have more time for creating. Lots of hearts on this one.

 The dsp comes from Recollections. I think you can find this at Michaels stores. I believe she said that the images were from Deadbeat Designs who are no longer in business. I stuck to a simple card just using the supplies that Suzy sent. I did color the chocolate kiss and the postage sticker with my Copic markers - E47, R46, and RV63. I think I used SU Pretty in Pink for my card base. 

 Hello, friends. I'm still playing catch up and might just do it here soon. My school semester is just about over, so I'll have about a 2-week break before the next one starts. Just two semesters more to go and I'll be DONE! I can't believe that soon I'll have a bachelor's degree, something that I've always wanted to do. It has only taken me eight years since I started!!!

Well, to get down to the card making. This one is a leftover from 2025 - Creative Card Chicks - from hostess Vikki Jo. I was late getting in to start because my first kit never showed up at my house, so Vikki Jo had to send me a second kit and then it was the holidays and then school started again. She sent us a very summer-themed kit and I just used what was in the kit - no coloring or images. 

 Sorry, but she did not include where the paper or embellishments came from, so I don't have any information for it. It was fun and I still have some leftovers, so maybe more summer cards coming up.

I used Stampin Up Crushed Curry for my card base and mats. 

 Hi again. This is card No. 3. My first card for 2026. This kit was sent by Roxie (morgainegeiser). Roxie sent us a cute stamp set from Echo Park as well as beautiful designer paper.

Items Used:

Stamp Set - Echo Park, Cozy Winter

Designer Paper - Echo Park, Winter Fun

Mat Paper - I used a silver glitter paper from my stash

Copic Markers - G21, G24; R24, R29, R43; Y18

Thanks for visiting. I hope to be more on time for 2026. 

 

 Hi again. Here is catch up number 2 for November 2025. This card kit was sent by Sue as the hostess for November.  

 Sue sent us the Birthday embossed card stock sheet. I used it for the background. She also sent a piece of vellum with balloons (Paper Studio) all over it. I also used a banner die from Emily Moore Designs. The images are from my stash. I need to go check and see which one it was from. A fun happy birthday card. 

 

 Hi, my friends, It has been a long time since I've posted anything. The last two months of 2025 were crazy. Under the weather with different ailments and then the holidays. I also lost my sweet Maggie Mae in November. She was nineteen and three months years old and was the sweetest little kitty in the world. I still miss her and expect to see her out waiting for some breakfast. 

Starting in January it was back to school and I'm taking three classes that keep me very busy all week. I'm grateful to finally have some time to get these cards posted. This is the first of three to catch up. I still have one more to work on and then there is February. So hopefully I'll be able to get those done soon. Can't promise anything. 

This card is from Terry. She was the hostess for October 2025. She sent the image, designer paper, and the embellishments.

The image and sentiment here is from Stampin Up Joyful Life. The DSP sent was Leaf Pile. She also included the leaf embellishment and the green dots. The inside sentiment says, "Friends like Joy make life a Joy." I used Copics to color the image, but neglected to write down the colors. 

 Hello, my friends. I'm finally back with another of my Creative Card Chick creations that I am catching up on. This one is from back in August. Suzy (suzys1104) was the hostess and she sent us this cute kit of all things lemons. My favorite drink is lemonade and I pretty much drink it all year round in different flavors. 

This is kind of a quilt design, but I got it from a collection from Club Scrap - Coming Up Roses. It fit perfectly with all the images and dsp that Suzy sent. There is just a little basic coloring for the pitcher of lemonade.

The items Suzy sent were Parklane DSP - lemons and flowers and the yellow.white baker's twine. I used Stampin Up Crushed Curry for the base and the round mat. The sentiment is from Endless Creations - Sweetest Year Yet. The small mats are from my stash.

 Thanks for the fun kit, Suzy.
