Dia daoibh!
Today’s great adventure? Laundry. Mountains of it. My washing machine has been on strike since last Thursday, only deciding to cooperate again this morning after getting its shiny new carbon brushes. So, I’ve spent the day doing wash after wash like I was auditioning for Ireland’s Next Top Launderette. I’ll tell you, the clothes basket has been giving me side-eye all weekend, and now it’s finally empty… for the next five minutes.
Onto my card for today:
I used Ranger Simon Hurley’s Big Hugs stamp set alongside Taylored Expressions’ Oh Yes You Did. Everything stamped with trusty Versafine ink, sprinkled with silver distress spray, and finished off with a few dabs of Nuvo glitter drops in black and crystal for that extra bit of shine.
Right-e-o, a few challenges:
- Stamping Sensations - September: CAS or Anything Goes
- Crafty Animals # 98: Always Anything Goes
- Krafty Chicks #784: Birthday
- Craft Rocket Challenges #129: Dots and/or Stripes
- Critter Crazy Challenges #102: Always Anything Goes
- CAS Colour and Sketches #568: Sketch
- Seize the birthday #312: Black & White
And after all that? I can safely say my socks are cleaner than my sense of humour. If laundry was an Olympic sport, I’d be standing on the podium right now, clutching a gold medal and a bottle of fabric softener.

Loving your little panda, Wendy, he's giving off "I'm so proud of myself!" vibes. Nothing like a mound of laundry to drive you to the craft room, and well deserved too! Thanks for sharing with us at CC&S this week.
This card just made me smile and certainly caught my attention in the gallery at Seize the Birthday. You have a darling panda and I also love how well balanced this card is. Super job and thanks for playing along.
Hope they have put your medal in the post -we have had the last two days sunny and annoying me because I had no washing -should have sent me yours lol. Beautiful monochrome card and love the cute hugging Panda. This would be perfect for our CAS challenge at Stamping Sensations too.

Black and white never looked so good! I just want to give that happy panda a big hug!
Hah Carol, I’ll gladly send you a week’s worth of washing – socks, towels, and the mystery tea-towel that multiplies in the basket every night! 😂 As for the medal, I’m still waiting… maybe they’re hand-engraving “Champion of Laundry” on it. Thanks so much for your lovely comment, and ooooh I’ll pop the card into Stamping Sensations too – the panda loves a good challenge! 🐼✨
Adorable, love that panda bear, nicely done.Thanks for playing our challenge this week at Krafty Chicks Challenge, have a great day. Leanne DT Member/KCC
Your CAS Birthday card looks fabulous in monochrome colours, perfect for our Stamping Sensations theme (would also work nicely at Allsorts as well), many thanks for joining us.

Oh my goodness! I just love your birthday panda ready to give a giant birthday hug. Absolutely adorable! Thanks for sharing it with us at Seize the Birthday.
Love your happy Panda, a great card, he certainly looks good with the wonderful monochrome card. It's been raining too much here in Wales to get washing blown dry, but I've been at it too. The tumble dryer is nearly worn out! :) Thank you so much for joining us in our challenge at Critter Crazy Challenge this week. Good Luck. I hope to see you again in our next challenge.

Such a beautifully written post—your reflections really resonated with me. And that adorable clean and simple panda card? Absolutely delightful! I loved the crisp design and how the minimal elements let the sweet panda truly shine. It’s the kind of card that brings instant joy. I’m so glad you stopped by my blog and took the time to comment. I truly hope you’ll visit again soon!
OMG this card is perfect! I love that it's all black and white, love that critter! Thanks for playing along with us at CAS Colours & Sketches!
This brings me a smile on my face. So happy and cuddling bear. Thank you for joining at stamping sensations.
This made me smile too- who wouldn't want to hug that happy panda! Fabulous design- love the monochrome. Thank you for joining in with our challenge at Stamping Sensations.
