The latest challenge and the first one for 2025 at: Word Power January 2025 Challenge. I’ve not entered much into this challenge, but decided it was time I did so. Between Christmas and new year I had to go to an art store to replace a Sakura pen that had run out. It is something I use a lot so a necessary purchase. Of course I can’t be in an art store without checking out other stuff and I came across this die by Sizzix Tim Holtz that was on sale. Rather than just leave it sitting on my desk, as I sometimes do with new stuff, I decided to try it out immediately so I used some silver CS and this is result. I added it to some shimmer CS so it all looks a bit silvery. Then I found the shadow and matching die from Pink and Main and the second one is from Creative Expressions. I cut both shadows out of black scraps and used silver glitter CS for the actual words. As these words take center stage on this card it fits well into the Word Power challenge.

Although the lace is busy it looks pretty good and the words just fit nicely on top without hiding the background. My goal this year to to use most of my supplies especially some of the new items. I joined a kit club on a trial basis for a local craft store I used to patronize a lot when living on the mainland. They were offering a 3 month supply of kits from Crafters Companion at a very reasonable price. As yet I haven’t done one single project with these kits but I have opened them and I like the included products. I will begin using them pretty soon and we will see what I come up with. I didn’t continue with more than the trial offer, basically because I hadn’t even begun to use the 3 that I now have.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you and your time.
