Love Card Using Conie Fong Gnome With Round Balloon Mini Slimline

Hello Friends!  It warmed up a little bit here in Southern CA.  I actually managed to ride my bike outside for 20 min yesterday; before I was sick from the smells.  Firewood burning, dryer smells, car exhaust, cigarette smoke, marijuana smoke, food cooking, etc. This was at 9 in the morning.  There were lots of people out walking as well; which is unusual.  I may have to start using my indoor bike again; but I really miss being outside.  

My sister called a few days ago, to let me know that my Aunt Patty had passed away Dec 21, 2021.  They found her two days after she died; since she lived alone.  My mother and my mother's mother both were pregnant at the same time; so Patty and I were born in the same month, same year.  It was hard to imagine her as my aunt when she was the same age as me.  LOL!  I am grateful we were able to see each other about 5 yrs ago.  We rarely saw each other after we were grown up; but we kept in touch.  We will miss her so much.  It is so sad.  I don't know what she died from; but I know it was too soon.  She was a light in everyone's life.  Patty was always happy and smiling all the time.  I never saw her down.  She leaves behind one daughter and lots of extended family.

I managed to create a mini slimline card using Conie Fong "Gnome With Balloon Bundle" which is a bundle of 4 images and 5 sentiments.  It is so adorable.  I love all the Gnomes that Conie Fong creates.  I didn't like the background when I started; but I was determined to use the cloud shape stencil I have had for a long time; and had not used.  This is the round balloon and there is also one without the grass; as well as a heart balloon with and without the grass.  There are many options with this cute little Gnome.

All Occasion Card Using Conie Fong Twinkle Emily PNG with CTMH Stitched Lattice Background and other products

 Hello Friends! Crazy weather across USA.  It was 104 degrees today in Los Angeles and it snowed in Wisconsin.  Can you believe this crazy weather?  It is Oct and over 100 degrees. Just nuts.  Global warming is getting worse and worse.

I have been playing with my new Distress Oxide Inks and having so much fun.  They blend so well and open up another world of creativity.  The greatest thing for me, is that they do not smell.  Most crafting products have a horrible odor and I am not able to work with them.  I was delighted to find out that these did not smell.  

I have always liked gorgeous backgrounds full of color; but I mostly use gorgeous designer paper.  You will probably see more of my background and hopefully I will improve over time.
