JENerally Speaking: Crafty Chick Birthday

Some cute little birdies came along this week with a sweet colour combination at 4 Crafty Chicks! I used some Hero Arts stamps and a PTI sentiment to make a birthday card which I'm also going to enter over at this week's Create challenge. Lots of fussy cutting here and more background stamping. I love the subtle effect of stamping with Versamark. I'm also loving my Doodlebug gems lately. Each colour comes in 4 different sizes which is so handy. Gonna have to place an order for some more soon. *Sigh* A crafter's shopping is never complete! :)

Supplies: CS: Bazzill, SU; Stamps: Hero Arts, PTI; Inks: VersaMark, VersaFine; Gems: Doodlebug

The cleaning frenzy is still ongoing. We worked on the kitchen yesterday. Pulled everything out of every cupboard - cleaned all the cupboards, weeded out stuff we don't need. It's scary how fast things accumulate and how quickly you forget it's even there. We've got a ton of stuff put aside to take to The Barn (our local charity shop) and a few things for the dump and I'm feeling good about streamlining. Luis keeps asking when I'm going to have a clear out in the Craft Cave! Ha! Silly boy...
