Morning readers,
Of course, at this point in the week, we would NORMALLY be pondering the activity of the weekend but, in lockdown, that will be a "NO" then and it's same old, same old (hands/face/space) - take care and continue to stay safe everyone.
I've a make to share with you today ....... my box of snippets just seems to grow, almost overnight, rather like wire coathangers used to!

- ATC blank
- Snippets of leftover card in white, red and Kraft
- Inkadinkado star/sentiment (from 99512) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
- Sharpie pens to colour
- Using a makeup brush I applied Memento dandelion to the white panel trying to avoid the inked section. Laying the Dutchdoobadoo stencil over the top I applied more dandelion ink, again, trying to avoid the stamped section
- Using the red and turquoise sharpie pens I doodled a border

I love that star on your ATC Kathy and a pretty harlequin background in that soft yellow and some super doodling, and then the beautiful hearts using two lovely stencils and that new pink DOx ink and a pretty red too, and love the font of the sentiment and framed with the deep pink, the perfect anniversary card. x
A fabulous ATC and card Kathy.

What a pretty Valentine card - could also be used for anniversary or just any love you need. Love the stencil you used. Thanks for joining us over at The House that Stamps Built.
Great ATC - love your doodling, and it's always good to use up some snippets.
Pretty hearts card, and I love how you've decorated the envelope. That's something that I never remember to do.

So sorry you’re in another lockdown. Sometimes I think the whole world should just stay home for 30 days, and see if things get better. Great cards! And what fun using new crafty stuff! Thanks so much for joining us at The House That Stamps Built!
