Card#28 for 2025

Dearest Blog Readers,

I made sure to line up the DSP the best I could this

time around.  I guess a gal needs to pay close attention

to such things like this before gluing down.  I'm learning. 

This was a must have stamp set for me, because

I do enjoy reading so much, as do my kiddos.

So I was pleased to be able to purchase this one. 

I cut all the card stock and DSP first, and then stamped

the sentiment, and books.  I fussy cut out the books and

used dimensionals to pop them up.  Want to know something

silly?  I was going to use solid red as the background, but

because puppers was sleeping by the paper in my craft room

I chose not to disturb the little rascal and went with gray

which was a total blessing in disguise, because I think it looks

way better and makes it all pop.  

I will enter this card in the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set I used for this card is:

Stampin Up:  For the Books

Patriot will sometimes settle himself, and it's a sweet

moment when he does. 

This was a labor of love, that little mug was so 

difficult with my big old hands, but happy to say

I finished it, just not sure I am up for making another one

anytime soon.  Coasters are way easier.  

I made a healthier version of chocolate filled candy

3/4 cup enjoy choc. chips melted with 

1tsp coconut oil

filling:

1 cup raspberries

1-2 tablespoons chia seeds

mix and let sit to thicken a bit

put dollops of milk chocolate on wax paper or in 

a candy mold. chill for a few minutes, then spoon

the raspberry filling in and top with the remaining

chocolate and return to fridge or freezer to firm up. 

Hope ya enjoy.  

The verse I chose for this card is:

Psalm 119:105

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
