Hello, is anybody out there?  I am just checking if I am even able to post to this blog anymore.   It has been 6 years.  So much has changed in that time.  Most recently, I have retired and I am planning on getting back into card making (along with several other crafts that I do), and keeping my blog active again.  Is that even how people share their makes anymore?  Or is everything done on Instagram or some other form of social media..  I guess I will be learning a lot.  

There are so many new products that everyone is using, that were not even available 6 years ago (layered stencils, 3-D embossing folders).  It has been interesting to learn some of the things I have been missing all along.  

Strangely, I prefer the style that was popular 6 years ago.  Images like Saturated Canary, Sassy Cheryl, Mo Manning.  Is that odd?  I guess it is going to take me a bit to catch up with everyone else.  

So I am going to get crazy here and even post a card I made recently.  I used one of those images from Sassy Cheryl, colored with my beloved but much neglected Copic markers.  I added a little bling by using some flourish gems from Recollections.  

Let me know if you can see this, maybe I am talking to myself.  

Hugs, Joyce
