Happy Sunday, Everyone!
I hope we all had good weeks.
We did, although I ate too much. The meals we had were too good not to indulge, lol.
And we had great weather for our home renovation crew until Wednesday when it began raining.
So this phase won't finish up until next week now.
The same crew will be doing the next phase, so that's good, but we probably won't have a little break now. Or I guess we had one during the rain, lol.

The theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art is Ephemera and is hosted by Cindy.
Now I was going to do a nice safe Tim Holtz-style collage using his ephemera.
But I found these very old green and blue paper ephemera pieces that I've had forever and I think they were originally in an A.T.C. Collection pad.
So, I was like, these need to get used up now.
And I made 2 for my 4X6 art journal album:
This one I collaged the ephemera onto my 4x6 base, highlighted with a green Promarker and added a TH Small Talk phrase sticker.
For this one, I collaged the ephemera, scribbled over it with Shaded Lilac and Chipped Sapphire Distress Crayons and then rubbed them in with a baby wipe. I edged the card with a black Promarker and added another TH Small Talk phrase sticker.
And done.

And since this is the last Sunday of the month
(a fourth of this year is gone already!),
it's time for me to share the Christmas cards I've made since February 2nd when I shared the 4 cards I had made. I'm happy to say I now have 16 made.
Grouped above are the 7 cards that I made using those 4x6 pieces that I'd made for SPA over the last 6 months. 3 of these are for March's Donner (reindeer) theme at SCS.

These are the 4 cards I made using February's 12 Drummers Drumming theme at SCS.

And here is another reindeer card using March's Donner theme at SCS.************************
Well, I know I'm being lazy and not providing my usual materials details, but between my bloated tummy and it almost being my bedtime, I'm going to end this now.
I sure hope you have a great week ahead and thanks so much for your visit today.
Hope to see you here again next Sunday.

You had a lot of fun with this theme
Happy Sunday
Much♡love
wonderful cards!
I think paper you used is interesting and makes excellent 4x6 postcards. I like the images, and I know what you mean by when you say you might as well use it. It's not like it is going to use itself, is it? And after awhile just having it sit there doesn't seem like that's worth it either. I've been trying to use what I have for paper and ephemera products too. And fun holiday cards. You're good at making things so far in advance. I love the elastic one with the reindeer and decorate everything. Plus you have a great drum theme going. I hope your rain is gone so your crew can do some more work this week. Are fixing up to stay or fixing up to sell? Have a super start to April. hugs-Erika
Beautiful work, you do a lot of great creating.
I love all the Christmas cards you made, especially the reindeer and LOTV cards. You are well on your way. I have been saving up all my favorite Christmas cards I've made over the years. I finally decided I need to use them or they will be just sitting in the box when I'm gone. Hopefully, that's not soon. Anyways, I have enough Christmas cards for this year bvecause of that.
I saw my spelling error on "because" just as I was hitting the publish button. I hate that! Oh well.
Love your assorted Christmas cards and the ephemera pages for your journal are fabulous, I'm thinking of getting TH crayons.. and thankyou for advice on my fingers, they are much better this morning, the cracked heel balm works a treat, unfortunately I cant put it on until I'm finished doing what I'm doing because of the grease residue, i cant were gloves as I can't feel what I'm doing, I'm nearly a lost case, but will keep on keeping on..
Luv CHRISSYxx
I'm so glad i enlarged the ephemera pieces because they are GORGEOUS aimeslee! wow, beautifully composed and so interesting in every way. well done! hope you are feeling well and enjoying spring -- which is definitely starting to come in here -- the cherry blossoms are fantastic! xo
Ooh these are both lovely!! I like the unifying touch using the inks and pens to bring things together. Thanks so much for playing.
You have been busy, I never know what to do with ephemera, so I'm in awe at your work Aimes. It's good to use old stuff, which is what I'm attempting to do. Lots of Christmas cards done too, good for you. Hope the renovations will continue to go well. x
Wonderful artwork.
