*** Something different **

 Hello everyone,

I hope you are well and enjoying the weekend.

I'm here today to tell you it's time for a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin

where we are challenging you to use something not usually seen on your cards. This was a perfect time for me to use some of the unusual items I tend to save.  This little flag was originally perched on a delicious tower of individual sized bundt cakes that I received for my birthday in February and I thought it was too cute to trash.

I've coloured with Copics a digital stamp called Aurora Pandemic from TheEastWind. The sentiment has been stamped with versamark, white embossing powder added and heat embossed, cut using an MFT die.   This card is for one of my granddaughters.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments Challenge #272 - April

Thanks for visiting today. Hop on over to the blog and see the fantastic inspiration from my very creative team mates.

***Couldn't help it**

 Hello folks,

Are you ready for the weekend?   

Can't say that I am as all days run together now.  

We are in a stay-at-home mandate again...sure hope this helps bring the numbers down. 

Today's card is one I created because the image made me smile. 
 As most of us are in "Spring cleaning" mode I thought this snarky little gal 
has come up with all the answers.  Pretty cas design, coloured with Copics.
