Picnic Pals!!!

 Welcome friends to the fun February 2025 release Picnic Pals  for Kindred Stamps!  While creating this first card, my inner child came out to play, as I weaved together a picnic basket using craft colored card stock.  I kind of remember in grade school, doing something similar with gum wrappers, or decorations around Thanksgiving and Christmas time.  Once I cut my thin little strips, it went pretty fast, so my memory of it definitely was pulled from something in my past!  It even ended up reminding me of a basket that we had growing up in our house.  We may have used it for a sewing basket of some sort.  I can think of so many reasons to send a card like this!  I also used the Tree Scene Craft Die for this card, I think this could be one of my most used dies I own.  It's great for so many wilderness type scenes!

 

My second card is perfect for that Beary Special person in your life!  Whether it be for a Birthday, Valentines Day, or Just Because Day...it was a warm fuzzies kind of card to create, sure to give someone a big bear paper hug!

My 3rd card / project is a little log book ... I designed this with the idea, how perfect it would be to jot down important little notes that we (me) at some point in our lives need to document, health wise.  I have personally struggled with high blood pressure since I was 18  years old...way before I had packed on the baby weight, even when I was jogging 3 miles a day...I am just one big ball of stress I guess.  I never really have been dedicated to jotting down my daily BP, but when I started this card... I thought, this would be something simple to put a little notebook in, and maybe something that would/could motivate me to do so.  The "Don't Feed the Bear"... well...that's because of all that baby weight still there (even though my babies are in their twenties now...yikes) ... I sort of liked the donut sentiment as a reminder to make better eating choices.  I could use this little log book as a weight tracker too!  Once I decide, I'll use my Stitched Alpha Die Set, the one I used for "LOG", and my tag verse, either BP for blood pressure or LBS for weight.  We will see, I started my road map to better health today.  :)

Every new release, I think I've found my favorite...well, this one very well may be my favorite!  :)  I'm excited each month playing with a new Kindred Stamps set, it keeps me coming back for more and more and more!  Make sure you mark your calendar for this Friday, as the February New Release is launched at 8 AM, Pacific Time...this and MORE treasures will be in the mix...you will NOT want to miss out!
