Howdy everybody.
Hope everyone is doing well.
Lent begins tomorrow, so I hope we all got all sinful shenanigans in by now!
I am going to try to not oversleep for Lent.
Sounds weird, I know, but if I can force myself not to sleep as much when I feel bad or have an arthritis flare, I think it would actually be helpful to not be so indulgent in that respect. Try, anyway. I may find out that I have to have the sleep, we'll see. Honey thinks I need the sleep I need, which means he'd rather me not mess with my sleep. He's never minded when I mix up my days and nights or sleep 12-13 hours. I really could not ask for a more understanding spouse. Plus, he took us to get haircuts this afternoon and then eat some Tex Mex at a favorite restaurant, so he is definitely on my good list this week.
Not much interesting to report on the new house, just two old frugal farts struggling to finally use sprinkler and alarm systems for the first time in our lives, lol. I would say formerly frugal, but that's gonna be a struggle as well. Ha!
The theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art is hosted by Mandy and is LAVENDER.
I have no lavender rubber/clear stamps but I did have this Power Poppy black and white digi in my files.
I printed it out, trimmed it and layered it onto a 4x6 purple card. I used a brown Micron pen and a ruler to draw the table line. I made a mask for the planter, adhered it and then stenciled the wall using an Indigo Blue stencil and Old Paper Distress Ink. Next the tablecloth using a Tim Holtz Layered Doily stencil and Brushed Corduroy DI. I colored the image using Promarkers, Pitt Artist Pens and a green Micron pen. I cut some purple scrap card with a Spellbinders Labels 9 die and handwrote the French sentiment with a white gel pen.

This card was for our mail lady. I used an A7 Recollections card base, K&Co designer papers and a Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy die cut as the frame for the Whimsy stamps focal image on white card, which is colored with Promarkers and Sakura Stardust gel pens. The sentiment stamp maker is unknown.
And here is the sketch I used.

My last card to share today is for our youngest great-nephew's first birthday.
Once again I used a digi stamp (from Di's Digi Stamps) that I had in my files. I printed it out, trimmed it down and colored it with Promarkers, layered it onto some SU orange card stock and die cut a length of ric rac (MFT) and a round seal (Avery Elle) on which I stamped the Creative Vision sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed with white powder. The dp is Basic Grey and the card base is SU.
And here is the sketch I used.

Well, that does it for me this time.
