Hello!
It’s been a few days since I last posted. I hope all is well with you. We are doing fine so far although I just learned that my brother in Scotland probably has the virus. He’s been told to self isolate for 7 days. He feels pretty awful and I’m praying it doesn’t get worse. I guess they are not testing people there unless they are in the hospital?
We are getting more and more sunny days. Soon we will be able to clean off the patio set and sit outside on the deck. It’ll be nice. I haven’t been making too many cards lately. It’s hard to get motivated at times. I did pull out my other hobby – cross stitching – and have done a little of that over the last few days. It’s hard to get into a routine with everyone dealing with different schedules and since my daughters work hours have been reduced, there is more going on at home than normal.
I did make this birthday card the other day so I will share that. Hopefully this week I’ll get more cards made.



I used a stamp and die set from Photoplay called “Birthday Girl Wishes”. I stamped, cut and colored the images. Then I used a stencil from MFT called “English Brick Wall stencil and I used “Hickory Smoke” distress ink. I added some dimensional foam to the background and thats it!
Here’s the list of some of the supplies I used.
