Hello friends!  I hope you are doing sensational on this last Sunday of January 2023.  Today I am hopping with some Crafty Collaborators along the Share It Sunday Blog Hop as we share lots of inspiration from our craft desks.  There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!

Today's Project

I was scrolling through my blog posts and realized that I had yet to share a special event from December that I so wanted to share with my you, my Stampin' friend!

I had the privilege to stamp with some very special friends of mine on my birthday!!!  I love stamping with these special ladies who are all young at heart.  

Here are the cards that I designed for them to make...

Project Details

And here are these lovely ladies at work and some of their finished cards!  In December at my Stampin' with Seniors Class, we were coloring with the Watercolor Pencils, the Blender Pens and using the Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends Marker for the highlighting the eyes of the owls.  As you will see we have lots of artists in this group!

Lots of fun was had with my Senior Stamping Friends on my birthday!

One card design was not chosen by the seniors at the card class... so I enjoyed making up the cards myself and tweaked them by coloring the bow-ties with the 2022-2024 In Color Stampin' Blends Markers to wish my customers a Happy 2023!
