CAS Mix Up April 2020 Challenge & NBUS #13

I am finally playing today and made the triplets a Birthday Card.  They will be two on April 26th.
And then I was able to play in a couple of Challenges with one card.

CAS Mix Up

&
Darnell's NBUS #13

I used Gina K's Sending Love stamp set.  I sponged on DOX inks and then stamped on the butterflies.  After that I used bleach to paint on the wings to bleach out the color.  I have done this before but it is always fun to revisit an older  technique.

Triplet card was MFT Beary Special Birthday colored with Copics

Thanks for stopping by.

Twofer Card Challenge #26

These are my two cards for the Twofer Challenge  this month.  It's been awhile since I have entered this challenge.  When I saw this umbrella, I couldn't help but picture some type of bug or as it turns out a turtle.  Usually, I can't think outside the box and just make two cards in the conventional way.But my little mind was able to come up with an unconventional way.  I have to explain that I can't even draw stickmen so to finish off the head, tail and feet for the turtle was a real accomplishment for me.  HaHa….

 Avery Elles's Weather It.  The turtle was colored with Copics.
PTI's Birthday Bash Sentiments, MFT Beary Special Birthday, Raindrops stencil
PTI's Stitched Pinked Edge Lable

Thanks for stopping by.

CAS Christmas April 2020

This month Bonnie is our host and would you to make a card with a Christmas Song.

Come join along and get your cards done.  Time flies by and it's nice to get them done early.

I used PTI's Sing a Song of Christmas and sponged with DOX inks.  But first I embossed with embossing powder, then sponged using masks.  I made about 6 of them cause they were so easy.

Headlines that will brighten your day. The Triplets Update!

I thought we could all use a little lifting up in the light of all that is going on in the world.  What better way than to do a toddler update.  If you can believe it, the babies will be two next month, April 26th.  How can that be?  They are getting cuter every day and are all so funny with their own personalities.   So whatever one does, whether good or bad the other two follow along, (example - taking off their clothes, climbing up on furniture or cabinets.  You get the picture.  All 3 of them are climbers and not afraid of anything....
The other day I was down making their lunch and Rhonda was up watching them.  She was changing one babie's diaper and Justin had pushed a chair up to the window and was standing on the small arm of the chair and reaching for the blinds wand.  She looked up and remember she is on the floor and it isn't easy for a 66 year old to get up from the floor.  Lol....She got to him before he fell.  Oh my they are so busy.
Speaking of Justin, he had to go to the Pediatric Urgent Care for Stitches and actually, he was just walking and there wasn't anything on the rug and he just tripped and fell into the leg (corner) of the same chair.  He did really good once the initial crying was over.  The other two have bruises on their faces from falling.  They love running around in a big circle.
BTW, mom isn't doing Instagram anymore.  She just doesn't want them out their with the crazies around and it is hard to take pictures of moving targets.  HaHa….
I stuck a couple videos in here.  Hope you will be able to open.

 They love their backpacks and going for a walk.  Actually, a leash for mom and dad.  Lol

We  join the triplets for a walk.  Mom took the picture.

The boys get their first haircut.
