Poof – just like that, it’s Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone and to a fresh New Years just around the corner. 😀 I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I managed to finish the pink Llamazing Llama that I’ve had sitting on my desk for over a week. He’s been colored and waiting for a background card to work on. Here she is… her soft plush coat is on it’s way to a crafty knitter looking for just the right color pink. Oh yeah!

Are you tired of cutting out your balloons? I’m excited to share that Whimsy has released a new coordinating balloon die set to match. Awesome!! Now you can find Happy Day Balloons clear set and Happy Day Balloons die set together.

This card was made at the 2022 Sproatmeyer’s Coloring Toolbox Retreat as a variation. I had many balloons colored as practice so I built a few more cards with them. Waste not, want not, right? I have two more scheduled for 2023 and would love to “fill them up” – but don’t worry, with less than 20 members, it’s still cozy and personalized. Come join!

There are two llamas in the Llamazing Llama clear set and I think this one is easily overlooked. But how can you say no to this cute little face?! Everyone has a bad day once in a while and needs a hug and true friends are there to give those hugs day after day after day. I thought this llama getting sheered was a good analogy for just that occasion! I love the expression and think it can be interpreted for many different things. Oh ya! So if this isn’t in your collection yet, I’m tellen’ ya, you’re gonna’ love them. 😉 P.S. No counting the number of dies I used on this one! I went a little crazy. LOL
