Gifts and Cake.

Hello everyone: As always, I hope and pray you and your families are doing well, these are scary and worrisome times but we can get through them like we've done before.  When things are not working they must get fixed, CHANGES need to be made no matter how hard they might seem right now.

Sticking Together.......

With every post, I keep wishing and hoping you and your families are healthy and safe, I keep telling my grandchildren that we must be patient and don't rush into anything, this virus doesn't discriminate, so caution is of the utmost importance, listening to the experts and scientists who are working diligently to find a solution for all of us.

God Bless every single person who is working on the front lines, from hospitals and clinics to grocery stores and everything in between.

THANK YOU.

Hello everyone: It's time for another SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge for you to play with, this time we want to see STICKERS on your cards, we can't wait to see what you come up with.

I must confess that it's been a good 4 years since I've used stickers on a card, I went back to see when I created a card with stickers and I found THIS CARD from 2016. I do have a few stickers I bought a long time ago but I just don't use them, I think I buy them because they are either super cute or really beautiful.

So I found this small stash of stickers on a small drawer by my desk, honestly, I haven't opened it in a long while.

But here's my card, hope it inspires you to come and play along.

 

Everything on this card is from my stash, the adorable puppy sticker, musical notes, gift, and sticker tag where the sentiment is stamped.

**********************************************************

This is the INSIDE of my card.

This is what I used.

Stamps:

Power Poppy "Short Stalks, Tea in the Garden.

There She Goes "Wrapped in Joy" (I think it's discontinued)

Dies:

Memory Box "Party Music" (maybe discontinued also)

Prismacolor pencils to color the gift boxes.

I hope you stop by the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge blog and get more inspiration from my awesome teammates.

Thank you for visiting me today.

Stay healthy and safe.

Hugs.

Maria.
