Where did I get this cute "Cozy Christmas by Julie" stamp set you ask? Well, it was a gift from my dear friend Darnell. She spoiled all of us with fabulous crafting goodies during our BABES adventure! A sincerely kind and generous soul :)
So apropos to ink it up for the first time for NBUS #3!
BTW, did you know that apropos is a real word? I had no idea! I thought it was a texting shortcut word for appropriate! 56 years old and still learning!
Stamped the little houses with Momento inks. Added a SU sentiment and popped up the panel with some foam dots. Quick & simple (if you don't count the 5 remakes that were trashed due to inking mishaps!).
NBUS #3 closes at noon tomorrow, so get crafting!
BTW, did you notice the new watermark? Would you like one for your blog? Get started by contacting Kylie, who offers amazing, speed of light customer service and great technical help.
Just sooo perfect! love the colors you picked!
ReplyDeleteDarnell is one fabulous person that is for sure! I love this stamp and I am loving your card Geri! Such a cute stamp, the colors you used are fabulous. It is wonderful when you get another NBUS used isn't it?! Hummm, I didn't know that apropos was a word either, I figured it had to do with texting or something. You aren't alone, 55 for me and still learning. lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteSweet card, my friend, really sweet. Love that all the little houses are different colors. And it doesn't surprise me that this was try #6...you have achieved perfection!!!! Love this CAS beauty all the way down to the little wisp of smoke! Just darling!!! Missing you tons. Bev
ReplyDeleteThe smoke coming out of the chimney is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteHahaha - you made me giggle with the apropos. I used to spell it aprapo. Ah, grammar, you fickle beast.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, I was just popping in to tell you that I love your rainbow of adorable houses! Such a charming card.
Oh, I love those sweet little houses, Geri!!!! Definitely no inking mishaps on this one - this one is perfect!! Love the fun smoke and the cute sentiment!!! Such a sweet card!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!!
This ROCKS!!!! Love it, Geri and your new watermark. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhee! I'm so pickled that you joined in my NBUS Challenge again, Ger!! Your card is so sweet for a new home card! I love how the little houses are all different colors and putting the wisp of smoke coming out of just one chimney is design genius!! Thank you for playing again and for your lovely words again! And, um, don't you think apropopo is way more fun to say? That's how I like to spell it, but I don't think it's in the dictionary - yet! Enjoy your day! Miss you!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteOH MY....what a fabulous card! I love your adorable row of bright and colorful houses. Can't wait to case you on this. And your watermark...so perfect!!! Don't you just love having one. Love your classy cat.
ReplyDeletePerfect and completely adorable, Geri ... I agree with Darnell, the plume of smoke is a touch of genius! Had a chuckle at your 'not counting the remakes' ... put me in mind of upsidedown stamping ... oh to be playing there!! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteHi Geri! I was just about to email you as a follow up to make sure everything was ok with the new watermark and decided to have a look at your blog first. Thank you so much for the shout out. Your watermark looks great on your cards!! Thank you so much for using my services.
ReplyDeleteYour houses are so adorable and I love the colours and perfect CAS design. What a wonderful pressie from Darnell xxx
Yayyy....the water-mark I espied *is* a newcomer, and oh, what a sweet one it is! Classy and stylish, just like its owner! Despite the small feast your recycle bin had, I'm so glad you persevered, creating a most cheery, inviting, welcoming little neighbourhood! The puff of chimney smoke is charming! I'll be packing my bags and moving into that one *grin*, as you've shown it to be toasty, and I just know it has a craft just. for. me. Love this!
