Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors
I hope you have had a good week. I am not posting on my blog so often. There is a lot going on. My parents both have advanced dementia. They are both at home with the support of a live in carer. As time goes on I am having to do more and more. I have decided that I am going to have a social media break for a little while. I will schedule some blog posts but that is all that will happen for a while. I will see how I feel after a break.
On Sunday Crafts-Too is celebrating its 22nd Birthday. John Lockwood has two hours of shows on the Craft Store to celebrate. For these shows I got to work with some very cute stamps for these shows.
Here is a CAS birthday card. These cute little stamps aren't just for Christmas.
I made another box card. I stamped two sets of penguins for this card.
I drew the background for these penguins. All the colouring was done with my Faber Castell Polychromo pencils.
This is a Pop-Up Stepper card. The card lays flat for posting,
Here are all my penguin makes together. Our daughter loves penguins. I am going to use these stamps to make a Christmas card for her.
Have a good weekend.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie

Beautiful creative and gorgeous colours. xx
Sorry to read of your parents, life can be hard and we need to do what is necessary...hugs
So sorry to hear of your difficulties. My grandmother had dementia and it was very difficult for my dad and his siblings. It's important that you take care of your self too. These are lovely cards. One of my friends adores penguins, so it's nice to see a penguin card that isn't a Christmas card. Creative Blessings, Tracy x
So cute. Hugs xoxo
