How long do you wait before you scratch the itch to craft? If it wasn't for the fact that I have a job outside of the house, I would be scratching "that itch" on a daily basis. Yesterday, I wanted to craft, but decided to spend some time with the boys. Still, in the back of my mind, I was determined to carve out some time this weekend to make a card or two. I made this square card using scraps. I typically don't stamp a 'focal image' with any color other black or brown. Today, I threw caution to the wind (LOL!) and used pink ink to match the background papers. Add some primas, buttons, twine and a key, and the itch has been scratched!
We're also enjoying a relaxing weekend, at home. With the cost of fuel, we've been looking for ways to entertain ourselves without going too far. We picked up this 1,000 piece puzzle at Hobby Lobby and decided to work on it together. Even our cat, Sable, wanted to join in on the action.

And Sable looks exactly like my Oliver. Except Oliver likes to TAKE a puzzle piece and chew on it rather than help in any helpful way when it comes to puzzles. LOL!
Ethel, I LOVE this card! I love that you stamped the focal image in pink to match the rest of the card colors. And those buttons!....love, love, LOVE 'em!
Working jigsaw puzzles was a constant and ongoing activity when my kids all lived at home. In fact, when we get together we still start a new one during our times together. I loved seeing this photo of your guys working so intently. Of course Sable has to help. That is what kitties do! :)
As always, your blog is such a joy to visit from the artistic to the family fun!
I love this card it is GORGEOUS! I also love your kitty - my heart skipped a beat when I saw the cat. I had a cat named Ashlee that looked like your gray - I miss him so much!
Love that you used pink instead of black ink! Your card is lovely!

Hi Ethel! Love this card--how creative using the flowers with numbers and buttons! Great idea! I love doing puzzles too. It's a different type of therapy, you know? Make sure to check my blog, I gave you an award.
Super gorgeous card Ethel, just love it! LOL at Sable doing the puzzle, don't cats love to be in the middle of everything?
