31 Days of Crafting - Day One - Mini Slimline Mickey Shaker

HAPPY NATIONAL CRAFT MONTH!!!  Shout it from the rooftops everyone!  This is my month.  This is my industry's month.

The past few years have been rough on us artists and crafters.  So I'm going to create as much as I can and shop as much as I can.  I plan for it because it's important to me.

I started trying to craft and post every day of the month back in 2015!  Eleven years and counting!  Check that unicorn card out.  I don't even know what those dies I used ARE!

My first non DT or IG Hop card this month is a mini slimline Mickey shaker tag, so freaking fun!

Just a few challenges:

**ANYTHING GOES** New Challenge with The Crafty Addicts!!

Hi everyone!!  It's time for a new challenge at The Crafty Addicts!!  Our theme is always:

ANYTHING GOES!!!

I came across this cut and emboss stencil in my stash the other day, and I'd never used it so I decided to make a card with it.  While I do really like how it came out, I'm also not sure it doesn't need something additional!

It's hard to photograph shaker cards vertically, because all the filler goes to the bottom!

There, that's better!!

STAMPtember - Day Twenty - This Too Shell Pass

I love love love love love anything with seashells or mermaids or water or sand or seagulls, they're one of my favorite kinds of cards to make.  I really needed to make something happy and distracting so I made this.  I'm worried that it WON'T pass, but I have to believe that it WILL so I can get to tomorrow and the next day and the next without screaming myself hoarse and throwing things out the window. (side note: you know how on TV someone always throws clothing out of the a second-story window? I've always lived in a ranch but I've always wanted to do that!)
