Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ... a slightly less than conventional baby card. I made this whilst on vacation in Florida where I'm sure you can understand, I have limited craft supplies available to me! My nephew and his fiancée became parents whilst we were away so .. a card simply had to be made. Not without trauma though, as I ran out of glue during assembly so had to pause for a trip to Michael's!

I celebrated my 15th Blogversary on Saturday! Fifteen years, SUCH a lot has changed in the World in the past 15 years, however, I'm still blogging, though many of my friends have stopped, I blog to preserve the instructions of how I achieved a project, though your comments are always appreciated.
So much in the crafting world has changed too, where have so many of the great independent craft stores gone? I miss them so much. It's terrific that you can get stuff online but nothing really beats the feel of a visit to a craft store, does it? I miss Violette's (Lakeland, Fla), Whimsodoodle (St Pete's, Fla), Planet Rubber and Tampa Stamp (Tampa, Fla) and in the U.K. my fave local store was Snazzy's (Swindon) - what were your favourites?

A beautiful CAS card
Thank you for joining us at Crafty Catz Challenge Blog good luck Ginny DT for

Unconventional maybe, but a striking card nonetheless. Congratulations on your Blogoversary and you are right so much has changed over the past 15 years and sadly not all for the better. I'm pleased some folks are still blogging - not everyone wants to go 'full on' social media 😉. I also miss the 'hands-on' craft shopping - can't beat a good rummage.
Another great card Kathy. Congrats on your blogoversary - you reminded me to have a look back on mine, and my blogoversary is this coming Thursday (17 years!) I agree so much has changed in that time … when I look back at my first cards they make me smile! Styles have changed so much, but also as you say sadly very few physical craft stores now. I’ve also found a massive drop off in the number of blog visitors, but personally I don’t want to put all my crafty makes on FB and bore all my non crafty friends lol! xx
What a wonderful CAS design, just the perfect amount of color and sparkle! Thanks for joining us at Simply Clean & Simple!
This card is a terrific new baby congrats card. I love that it’s different from the norm.
Yes - what a difference 15 years makes. I miss The Craft Barn and The Glitter Pot. However , I’m very lucky to have a local independent craft shop a few miles away which I love to visit. Xxx
Love the splatter!! Another simple CAS design! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful CAS card with us at The Krafty Chicks Challenge! So nice to see you in the gallery.
