Be okay with where you are,,,

I think we all need a reminder from time to time that it is alright to be exactly where you are - even if you don't think you are okay. Sometimes life is a struggle and it is hard to see the forest through the trees. When I am feeling out of it, I give myself permission to be okay with not being okay. I find it easier to move forward that way.

For today's card I used part of the Confident Girl stamp (irony here) with the It's okay stamp on the front panel. For the background I stamped the Abstract Floral stamp in black over an ink-brayered background.

All three stamps are available from Technique Junkies.

July 2024 New Stamp Release - Technique Junkies

Confident Girl - Technique Junkies

Birthday crabs

 What a fun birthday card! Our Crazy Crabs are perfectly happy to help you celebrate! Both stamps available from Technique Junkies.

Paris is an Adventure

 The perspective on this Eiffel Tower stamp is so unique, isn't it? This collage stamp is from Technique Junkies website. My son and Daughter-in-law just told me that they are going to Paris in the fall - and this card is headed for them!

Shiny Snails

 Our new Contemporary Inspiration stamp is great on a Slimline card - it has a great line for longer cards. Today I simply added a line of snails from the new Swirly Snails stamp set to the bottom of the colorful panel, along with a few Nuvo Jewel drops scattered over the top (shiny dots for a shiny sentiment!). Both the Contemporary Inspiration and the Swirly Snails are from the July release and are 15% off through the end of today (July 23rd).

Tree of life

 Our fabulous tree of life is so pretty! Although it might look complicated it is simple to color. Today I used a die cut to make this easy one-layer card. The Tree of Life stamp is 15% off through July 23rd at Technique Junkies, too.

Sisterly Love

 

Yup, we're sisters. Love her - best buddies (mostly) with a smattering of sibling rivalry (yes, even into our sixties!). This card uses one of the Definition of a Family stamp (part of the new TJ release, and it is discounted 15% through July 23rd), with a deconstructed Do a Flip stamp. And yes, that IS me and my sister, too!

Flamazing and Sparkly

I love our new Flamingo Flock stamp and how it pairs so well with the Flamazing Day stamp. What a fun way to lift someone's spirits! Our background today is a stencil from ACLD with Aladine IZINK Diamonds blended through it for s super-sparkly effect. The stencil, Diamonds and stamps are all available at Technique Junkies, and the stamps are 15% off through July 23rd, too! https://techniquejunkies.com/july-2024-new-stamp-release/
