F4A359 - "I'm DYE-ING!"
 

F4A359 - "I'm DYE-ING!!" - 01/05/17

Don't laugh ... that has basically been my mantra for the past couple of weeks!!! Sometimes life gets VERY complicated!!

A little explanation ... one week before Christmas it was RAINING in our basement (and NO, that's NOT normal!) ... right over the half of the basement that is my Craft Cave!! So, needless to say, my craft space is a disaster area (holes in the ceiling, carpet pulled up, and ALL of my stamps and crafty things piled HIGH on flat surfaces and covered with sheets of plastic!!)!! And to top it all OFF, I got strep throat New Year's weekend ... so making a card has been VERY difficult ... in fact, the only way I was able to pull this off was because I got a brand new Cricut for Christmas ... and it's one of the ONLY things I can get to in my craft room. Oh ... wait ... did I mention that we also had half of our house without power last week??? Yeah ... that has been going on, too!!!

So the challenge is to use some sorta diecut ... whether it is a framelit, thinlit, Bigz die or an actual diecut machine ... you guys GOT this!!

Here is my sample:

You're the Best!

F4A359 Three Feathers by snowmanqueen - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Oh my gosh Wendy, you are such a trooper. You could have asked for assist but you plow right on and finished that beautiful card. I sure hope that your 'house' is back in order before long and that your throat is much better soon. :)

So sorry Wendy - what a tough time. Hope your throat gets better and the rain issue is resolved quickly.

OMG, Wendy, you have the woes of Job. Hope 2017 is a better year for you. I like these "easier" challenges at the week's end, where we can go a myriad of ways. Thanks.

OLD BIRD'S BIRTHDAY

I do hope your life is a little drier now Wendy - what a nightmare for you!

F4A359 Long Time-open and closed views
 

So sorry about your craft area and your strep! hope you are better soon.For today's Dye-ing challenge- re-purposed this pouch style envelope from my stamping buddies- adding my giraffe and grass images against a dry embossed background. Here's Long Time- open and Long Time-closed

Sorry but I'm laughing - IN SYMPATHY!
I just downsized well over 50% as I moved into the independent living section of a continuing care facility - friends who helped me pack saw no reason to put only things from one room in a box and no reason to label the boxes! Been here 3 months (love it!) but I just began to find my craft items about a week before Christmas. The only thing I can say to you is, laugh when you can, cry when you must and adopt the mantra "this too will pass!"

Wendy, sure hope things start getting better. Thanks for having the time and effort to give us this challenge. Here is my card.WT617, F4A359 Mailcarrier by Holstein - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I tried to upload a card yesterday and this card earlier today,but I kept getting an error message, saying the site couldn't display the page. I just wrote to SCS headquarters to ask about this. Once the email sent, I thought I'd give it another try. And it worked. Go figure!!

Here's my card for Valentine's Day!

Here's mine...
 

So sorry to hear about your stressful start to the New Year. I hope you see nothing but blessings for the rest of it!!!!

You inspired me to get out my Cricut and pick a die cut from its online project idea group. I tweaked the project a little because I wanted something more than just a different color card stock behind it. So thanks for the inspiration. Need to build my birthday stash back up...it is at ZERO!

I was a little slow finishing this card - it was the first time I've ever worked with 3-D Paint - On my first try, I didn't let it dry long enough and ended up smearing it so these I let dry overnight!! Here's my DYE card:
