Dotted Blooms was the background stamp that I used from this release. Do you find colouring relaxing? If you do, you will like what I did. I placed my stamp onto my Misti and coloured sections on each bloom with a watercolour marker (ie. Tombow, SU), huffed and pressed down onto white cardstock. It doesn’t take as long as you might think, and if you’ve got Netflix or a good movie on, the time goes by even quicker.

Happy Birthday
Hello friends! It was recently my birthday and Aimeslee Winans created this beautiful birthday card for me. You can read her post showcasing this card, with her photo step-by-step tutorial. A lot of work went into the making of this. Thanks Aimes! I love it!

Sassy Pants
It’s the 15th of the month and it’s time for another edition of Dueling Darlings. In one corner we have the Dazzlers (me) and in the other we have the Divas. This month’s hosts are Tracie (Dazzlers) and Barb (Divas) and they chose “Humor” as their theme, because we all need a smile.
This is such a great theme, especially in these times. Ontario, Canada has opened up to Stage 3, but not dear ol Sarnia and a few other areas. We have to wait a tad bit longer. So that means playgrounds are still closed, and so are restaurants, gatherings of more than 10 people, etc.
I received two images in my kit, and I cut one of the images up so I could trace onto the DP and create cute clothes.
The inside of the card has the sentiment “Lil Miss Sassy Pants!”
SUPPLIES:

Designer Paper – Spring Fling by Sunny Studio, SU Tempting Turquoise

Technique Junkies What We Do Best (WWDB) Challenge, Week one of Four
Hello! Technique Junkies has a wonderful four-week challenge going on called What We Do Best (WWDB). This week’s theme is to create a card and matching envelope thanking your front line workers–a nurse, doctor, police officer, first responder, mailman, store clerk, or other essential worker. You can read the full details here. Remember, your card has to use Technique Junkies stamp(s) in order to qualify for a cash prize.
My thank you card is just one of several I have made recently, on behalf of my hospital department co-workers, to thank the restaurants and grocery stores for their support of the front line workers. We have received meals, fruit baskets, muffins, etc. The one thank you that made me cry, was the day the first responders–ambulance, police and firemen, had their sirens and lights going off while encircling the hospital where I work. Seeing them from my window, the nature of the COVID pandemic hit me, and hit me hard.
Once again, please read the rules to this four week challenge. This challenge has a special place in our hearts.
As always, you can use discount code TJ10Beth to receive 10% off of your order.
Good luck!

Dueling Darlings April Kit – Bluebonnets
It’s the 15th of the month and that means the Dazzlers and Divas are dueling again. This month Debby (Dazzlers) and Suzy (Divas) are the hosts this month.

Good choice ladies, because nothing is blooming in southern Ontario yet.
