Core Chaos & Crafty Apples

Dia Daoibh!

Well now, hasn’t it been some week? Between the whirlwind of emotions, sleep doing its usual disappearing act, and Autism taking the wheel while ADHD quietly sulks in the corner, let’s just say my kitchen presses got the full “Wendy Works” treatment. There's now a brand new streamlined system in place for when the dishwasher gets unloaded – colour-coded, shelf-aligned, and possibly requiring a user manual. But hey, the mugs are happy.

I’ve also switched over to night shifts for a while – figured since sleep had clocked out, I might as well clock in. Four nights back-to-back… so I’ll be off to bed shortly. Just don’t ask if I’ve remembered how to human during daylight hours.

Now, onto something far juicier – my card!  I whipped up a wee number featuring some dinky die-cut apples that I “borrowed” (read: plundered with no shame) from the stash. They're perched on foam pads for that bouncy 3D pop – just the thing to make it look like the apples are actually trying to escape. Can’t say I blame them. Especially after reading the sentiment… let’s just say it hits a bit too close to home. Definitely one for the ‘laugh or cry’ drawer! Oh, and I embellished the wee hearts with some irridecent glitter.



Onto a few challenges:
Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers #262 - R is for Rude
Carlin’s Challenge #82 – Yummy, that’s tasty
Farmquest General Store Challenge #28 Anything goes and/or country theme goes
Allsorts #824 Anything Goes
Simply Clean and Simple - May 2025 - Clean and simple (optional: flowers) 
Fab n' Funky - 2W, #617 - Add a Sentiment

Right, I’ve one more post to share before I shuffle off to bed for the night shift ;)

Sláinte,

Didly Day Hey

Dia Daoibh!

As the calendar inches closer to March 17th, you can almost hear the collective sound of Ireland sharpening its wit, preparing its livers, and dusting off its finest green attire. Yes, St. Patrick's Day is upon us, that glorious day when everyone suddenly discovers their inner Irish roots ;) . It's a day of revelry, laughter, and the occasional questionable decision—like attempting to dance a jig after a few too many pints of Guinness. But hey, isn't that what makes the day so special?

Spring is also making its grand entrance, with flowers starting to bloom and the world waking up from its winter nap. It's the perfect time to send out a little cheer with one of my last St. Patrick's Day cards, ready to be mailed today. This one features a charming shamrock bouquet from Waltzingmouse Stamps, colored with Promarkers. It's mounted with foam tape for that added dimension, giving it a little extra pop. I used the last of my shamrock scrapbook paper as the background—waste not, want not! Some of the shamrocks are highlighted with glossy accents and embellished with ultra-fine iridescent glitter for that extra sparkle.
