Masculine card

 Well, this is the first attempt at masking and doing a background except for one card last year with three snowdrifts. :)   so.  was fun, but found the wee finger sponges are not for someone like me.  Have to use  big ones so had to cut up the round ones in house and use.

no card today and an older great supplier

Was going to finish one for another challenge, but got looking for something for this blog   Would love a new header and background, but just not finding one.  Generally go every few months looking again, but am too fussy I guess.  Oh well, know what is out there again and will keep looking.   

So.  Friday is basically my do nothing day,,going out for supper and veg, so that is it from now on. 

Had a fantastic week, dies came from Cuddly Buddly, Stamps from Avocado, 
and---

A wonderful woman at Canuck Crafts, Sharon is looking into my bad Spectruim Noir markers.   She realized they had been purchased from the bad run from whom and when they were purchased when asked about them by me in a conversation.   
Now, not purchased from her, but she is going to bat for me for them.   Absolutely the best,. 
And,  since they are the Canadian Distributors for Crafter's Companion, that is where I think most of my stamps have come from.   The wee baby was one, and adorable. 

So.  If you need anything they have, they are super people.  I could not find a widget to put here, so Alan is looking into that for me as well. 

If you purchase an unmounted stamp, Sharon automatically mounts it for you, N/C.  How cool is that.    They are absolutely wonderful to deal with, so check them out.

Winter card for challenge PSC 61

This looks more grey than silver, but it is silver .  For some reason the sentiment did not want to show well, and did get it a bit high in position.  Yours truly got in the colouring mode and almost did not get this posted, and no time to redo.    Love colouring them,  

Since it was a winter wonderland card, the silver was for the cold, the glittered snowflakes for the snow, snd the mug of cocoa for the keeping warm part.

New Awesome supplier for me !!

Well, was talking to a friend who mentioned a stamp company that I have been going to check out and finally did.  Have seen it on here, and in many magazines, but somehow never got there.   
Sent the owner Michelle a message and she called immediately.   

She sounds awesome, is great to talk with and sending my order out immediately.  Since my friend was so pleased with these stamps, I also joined her club for the year.  Yeah, another new area to explore, and stamps to try that have been told stamp beautifully.  !!

The shipping is so low you will be in shock.   
Right up there in the customer care area like my other favourite supplier.  



Check it out and see what you think, and if you join, let her know who sent you please.   Also, under each stamp set is a slide show of a few things made with that set.  Know that many of us order sets and use a couple only, so thought this a great idea.   
Go over to the right to the "Avocado Arts" button and click on it.   She has a set for each month in business, and a link to the blog as well. 

Now have two great sites that I love to give money to.     Not too good on the pocket book, but awesome for supplies.  

Have a good one all, and yes, am an enabler,   :)   But only purchase from sites and persons who care about their customers and do not try and line their pockets with unwarranted shipping charges or inferior products.
