**STASHBUSTERS IG HOP** Week Eight - Card Two

Welcome to the Stashbusters 2024 Paper Crafting Hop hosted by @armenscraftroom, @avedamontedesigns, @bkeeleycrafts, @hilarygreek, @createwithkas and @touchofmagik.  Stashbusters post 3-6 creative paper projects every other Tuesday.  Our goal is to use the items we already own to create between 81-162 projects in 2024.

This week our challenge was to use any card sketch to make cards with a Graduation or Celebration theme!  This stamp just makes me so happy, and I have ALWAYS loved this song!!  It's doubly special because my niece helped me glue the embellishments on.  That kid is my heart.

Normally I put all my cards in one post but I’m changing things up.  I used the current month's sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and this is number #275.

Just a few challenges for this card:

• A Perfect Time To Craft - #4 Anything Goes
• Unicorn Challenge - #97 Use Dies
• Pattie's Creations - #217 Anything Goes 1/3
• Pammie's Inky Pinky - #2414 Anything Goes 1/3
• Crafty Catz - #669 Anything Goes 1/5
• Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch #275 2/3

Thanks so much for looking and happy hopping!  Laters!!

31 Days of Crafting - Day Eight - My Favorite Women

Happy Friday!!!  I know everyone is all celebrating "strong women" today and superheroes and crap for International Women's Day.  That's all well and good, but as much as I like say, Catwoman, real strength doesn't come from superhero power.  The strongest bond women have is that between a mother and a daughter.  So today I'm celebrating my favorite mother/daughter duo, the Gilmore Girls. Even though Rory didn't prioritize her mother the way her mother prioritized her, they have an amazing relationship.  I'm lucky to have that kind of relationship with my mother.
