Out of this WORLD!

 This week's Craft Roulette lead me to making a card using the "Future is Bright" theme that I love using for graduation cards.  I have a fun universe set that I purchased not quite 20 years ago, that has really cool sayings from astronomers, outer space type sayings, etc... one quote:

"Who says the skies the limit, when there are footprints on the moon?"

Not sure who the quote belongs to, but it's in that collection of stamps that I love love love ... there is also 

"Reach for the Stars"

 You get my drift....  I have a ton of outer space type sayings ... not sure which one I'll settle on for this card, but I for sure will get one on the inside.  

 I've had hard personal things going on for the last few months, so I took a break from Craft Roulette.  I'm glad I fit this one in, it was great therapy for me, get my mind off of reality for a bit...plus I had an added bonus, my daughter was creating her first Craft Roulette card....what a fun night we had, after a week of deep sadness, lots of tears and intense emotions.

So...here is mine

 

 

AND...here is hers!

 

 

 

Love Me Some Spinach - Ahoy! Ahoy!

 Ahoy Mateys!  I'm super excited to share my designs using the Ahoy Matey  set in the Kindred Stamps May 2025 Release.  One thing I absolutely LOVE to design, are recipes!  I have several scrapbook cookbooks that I've designed over the last 25 years, and am currently working on one right now too, but...a  little thing like a Mem Dex Recipe Box got in the way!  How fun it is to make a mini version of my 8" x 8" could be pages, and condense them to a mem dex size....  I have my mem dex recipes displayed on my kitchen counter in the coolest mem dex box.  I've been just waiting for a set like this to POP up for a super tasty spinach salad, just in time for summer!

 I really enjoyed playing with the characters of this set!  I thought it might be fun to make a baby announcement using our sailor, his person and sailor baby characters!  

 

 

What's nice, is having a craft room FULL of embellishments....never used before ROPE ribbon, came in handy for my 3rd card ... I haven't made many "tag" cards over the years, but did a few months ago, that I enjoyed the process with, so I gave it a whirl here too.  You will see more "tag" cards from me in the near future...  I have another brewing for a future post.  :)

 

 

 

The Kindred Stitched Alpha Die Set came in handy for my rope embellishment, and what would I do without the Card Basics Die Set.  It is probably my most used die set in my craft room right now!  I used dies from this set on all 3 projects:  stars, stitched matting, and a "life saver" (with a little help from a random circle die to punch out the middle!  :)

 

I loved this release...I loved this set...and I love me some spinach salad too!  Find Ahoy Matey  and other fun sets in the May 2025 New Release Collection for Kindred Stamps!
