For <a href="https://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Seize the Birthday</a> this week, <a href="http://www.shirley-bee.co.uk/" target="_blank">Shirley</a> has chosen the colour combo <b><span style="color: #ff00fe;">hot pink</span></b> & <b><span style="color: #04ff00;">lime</span></b>. If you visit here often you know that my relationship with pink is a little tenuous - lol. However, I love green and do like pink and green together. I picked up <a href="https://honeybeestamps.com/en-ca/products/lovely-layers-coneflower-honey-cuts" target="_blank">these cone flower dies</a> recently (thanks to seeing how well <a href="https://scrapperatheart.com/" target="_blank">Nancy</a> uses it!). Tried to keep this pretty CAS - brushed some Distress Oxide on to the pink card stock to give it a little more depth. The leaves are Distress Oxide ink on white card stock.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi63p9j3Fq5RbUaGs-w9z0kr11rpDPXumlY1erGplJewY_xd0170tnhDqQRt_tdXuv_vgn88v87JDO5LO8ggdID6dOif9xEf_6DyxyjYlAEQjWFmHN9Sfry5zJ1DPoqfswx973lAbxvNUl60HEwoDiSRjCsv0nXBAt6mZinfi-EXxuTpmY6rizXR-G8tKI/s1200/gjwy_101223_pinklime.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1200" height="339" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi63p9j3Fq5RbUaGs-w9z0kr11rpDPXumlY1erGplJewY_xd0170tnhDqQRt_tdXuv_vgn88v87JDO5LO8ggdID6dOif9xEf_6DyxyjYlAEQjWFmHN9Sfry5zJ1DPoqfswx973lAbxvNUl60HEwoDiSRjCsv0nXBAt6mZinfi-EXxuTpmY6rizXR-G8tKI/w400-h339/gjwy_101223_pinklime.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: left;">Be sure to pop over to the blog to check the rest of the bold creations and give some love to our Surprise Party Guest <a href="https://ingeniousinkling.typepad.com/ingenious_inkling" target="_blank">Stephanie</a> and previous winner <a href="https://kbwalker.blogs.com/" target="_blank">Karen</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_JE4V_to3a0uQvsdNVwINa2ntQ3pDycx5H-9c1b09MOtlMvhXrNVsnkOVWUi_QeAuTVVj4_nlEKRwnQ8yxF-QLVqNWNuVLLVhJbbIUoVirn3h2tdijuGP262gCM4N7h-lc8QN-tgio3uDy9AzVN_P7zXNL5t_71TBpht-7EdMMivSGA2IIx0IaoRJDEU/s300/BlogBadge.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_JE4V_to3a0uQvsdNVwINa2ntQ3pDycx5H-9c1b09MOtlMvhXrNVsnkOVWUi_QeAuTVVj4_nlEKRwnQ8yxF-QLVqNWNuVLLVhJbbIUoVirn3h2tdijuGP262gCM4N7h-lc8QN-tgio3uDy9AzVN_P7zXNL5t_71TBpht-7EdMMivSGA2IIx0IaoRJDEU/w200-h200/BlogBadge.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a terrific day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Glenda</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Card details:</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>happy birthday - 4¼" x 5½" </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Stamps: Sentiment from The Ton</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ink: Distress Oxides - Twisted Citron & Abandoned Coral, Versacolor Pine Cone</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Paper: SU!

She was such an amazing person and I feel luck to have known her. We were known to have cocktails together when she was visiting so I made a cocktail card in her honour (and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CPLmlNppBUy/?img_index=1" target="_blank">CASED one of hers</a>).

This (Northern Hemisphere) summer seems to have flown by. I'm a summer lover so am hoping for the weather to stay nice as long as possible (although we definitely need some rain).</p><p>At <a href="https://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Seize the Birthday</a> this week, <a href="https://inkingalongwithjules.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jules</a> has picked the theme make it musical. I love listening to music and I know how to play a few instruments but I realize that my musical crafty supplies are not very plentiful. I found an SU! old set and used the bass clef (I wanted to use the treble clef too but just couldn't get it to work in the design). I did an Distress Oxide smoosh background, then penciled in the staff and then stamped the bass clef. I was going to to go over the staff with a fine pen but I ended up liking how the pencil looked.

I dug out a vintage Technique Tuesday stamp set which fit the challenge perfectly. I pulled out my sewing machine to stitch the pieces together. To make this process easier - I put all the pieces together on a long thin double sided tape and then ran them through the sewing machine. I put some glitter on some of the pieces but it's hard to see.

Hope you're enjoying spring or fall where you are. We might FINALLY be getting some warm temperatures here soon - can't wait. There is a joke that Canadians' favourite pastime is talking about the weather... I'm definitely feeling that lately.</p><p>This week at <a href="https://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Seize the Birthday</a> we are playing with balloons, courtesy of <a href="https://allidoisstamp.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Vicki</a>. I had many iterations of balloon cards (that look nothing like these) before I settled on the first one. Then I was hunting through some stamps when I across a hot air balloon stamp that I had never used before so decided to make another one. Also found some patterned paper that I had been hoarding (surprise surprise) that suited the balloon well. The patterned paper is sparkly but it's hard to see. One sassy and one whimsical - do you have a favourite?</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-l9YVolHEdnsMzODm3NLUAmWnCx8cuJVWGg-RqVKZ3BjmRo_b511sIfdN1LdV4ckDgYf-X8xzOrEurAm-uccUtCNiYH0LZ2vB9GCEzvRDlw_Pzq_2v4lz9nrvBN9UMOnJUoCl-FKHj3lN2CvEPNDuma0dxUJzKB1DAZGjVDpBLzxGy13Qql3Dg29H/s1200/gjw_042723_balloon.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="961" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-l9YVolHEdnsMzODm3NLUAmWnCx8cuJVWGg-RqVKZ3BjmRo_b511sIfdN1LdV4ckDgYf-X8xzOrEurAm-uccUtCNiYH0LZ2vB9GCEzvRDlw_Pzq_2v4lz9nrvBN9UMOnJUoCl-FKHj3lN2CvEPNDuma0dxUJzKB1DAZGjVDpBLzxGy13Qql3Dg29H/w400-h320/gjw_042723_balloon.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZmDRJJsULT-WG8c_YVs-csCogPJr8-AruA1ftiyWqzR4n_nX7Of1AfSdQjr-nj-vb8772lU1JVUJzCU3oBdjAeqdHTxue4hIV6-q6_3NzYh92jDxsr4-FCIywtsM_gwjiPs50kds5B4nCgdkXVKup5jovR3OwYDQ71CfzedtaugibdSxt-tEbwQH-/s1500/gjw_042723_balloon2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZmDRJJsULT-WG8c_YVs-csCogPJr8-AruA1ftiyWqzR4n_nX7Of1AfSdQjr-nj-vb8772lU1JVUJzCU3oBdjAeqdHTxue4hIV6-q6_3NzYh92jDxsr4-FCIywtsM_gwjiPs50kds5B4nCgdkXVKup5jovR3OwYDQ71CfzedtaugibdSxt-tEbwQH-/w320-h400/gjw_042723_balloon2.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Hope you can play along with us!

Hope all is well. Here on the west coast of Canada it is mostly feeling/looking like spring although I would always be happy with warmer temperatures.</p><p>Our topping at <a href="https://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Seize the Birthday</a> this week is alcohol, courtesy of <a href="http://www.shirley-bee.co.uk/" target="_blank">Shirley</a> - this can be alcohol inks or alcohol images or both! I did both :). I've used these dies a lot - thought they were perfect for this challenge. The embossing folder is a relatively new acquisition for me and I quite like it. This is also one of those cards that is a random size - I sized the card to fit the design, rather than other way around.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1QTWpOhmvbBHrRfrSpmwRv68JOjL_Rus2T6Dr2KOOQFm6Z1-rATLLmM2QL92KuV_8fOW3vxO0jlzTbJoEDMLYjehplMk9qxm4VCad7jOFl-1ufzLE2K1STtmhoZqeQsx-SayZNVg3_8Bv57M54kKyZdNnRUhATWdeJu8nI8sm22mUoRauGiOlUaf/s1686/gjw_041323_alcohol.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1686" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1QTWpOhmvbBHrRfrSpmwRv68JOjL_Rus2T6Dr2KOOQFm6Z1-rATLLmM2QL92KuV_8fOW3vxO0jlzTbJoEDMLYjehplMk9qxm4VCad7jOFl-1ufzLE2K1STtmhoZqeQsx-SayZNVg3_8Bv57M54kKyZdNnRUhATWdeJu8nI8sm22mUoRauGiOlUaf/w285-h400/gjw_041323_alcohol.png" width="285" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hope you can play along with us!
