Joy to the World

I had a very relaxing weekend.  I got up early on Saturday and headed to the Farmers' Market before it got warm and crowded.  I also stopped at Trader Joe's and at Michel's (couldn't believe how absolutely empty the aisles were ... literally multiple aisles with not a single product on them).

In the afternoon I had fun Gel Press Printing with a friend over Zoom.  I tried some Alcohol Inks with stencils, which was a lot of fun.  This stencil is called Gridded from StencilGirl.

 

 

Today I got up early for a bicycle ride around the lake.  After that, I did lots of cooking with my Farmers' Market finds ... Sweet & Sour German Red Cabbage, Pork with Chinese Long Beans, and Fresh Peach Crumb Bars.

So after all of that, I finally had a little studio time.  I saw that the Poppy Stamps Challenge this month is Anything Goes, so I used it as a chance to continue to stock my holiday stash (since I usually need about double what I make for Jingle Belles).

 

I die cut the Poppy Stamps Adriana Wreath Die from Green Glitter Cardstock and attached it to a kraft card base.  I embellished with red berry gems and used a sentiment from Poppy Stamps Tidings of Joy.
