Hello!
I was inspired by an Instagram hop (or blog hop? or both?) for Pride Month that I saw recently.
Here is another card, I used a strip that was left over from the card above.
My hopes for everyone: living your most authentic life, without fear or discrimination, with supportive people around you, and LOVE.
My crafting mojo has been absent for a while. I did crank out 6 cards over the weekend – just playing with stencils I had not used before. It felt wonderful to be inky. Hopefully, the mojo will stick around. Life has been really busy – taking care of parents and trying to get in-laws approved for a better living arrangement.
Thanks for stopping by!

My Dad celebrated his birthday over the weekend. His softball season has started again, it is almost all he talks about, so I (yet again!) went with a softball theme for his card. Note to self – find some new sports themed stamps for next year!
I die cut a circle and drew in the stitches in Prismacolor pencil. I hope it doesn’t look like I recycled a card I made for him while in elementary school. I didn’t have all these supplies back then!
I procrastinated until the last minute on this. Well, part procrastination (kept hoping for a different idea!), part working on other things.
