2025 Year in Review

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

It is New Year's Eve! It's unreal how fast time goes by!
It's a cold morning here in Pennsylvania and I am doing some laundry. We have no plans for ringing in the new year as we usually are asleep way before midnight. We had our fun in our younger days ringing in the new year.

Every year I share some of my favorite cards & projects that I made that year. Some months it's hard to choose just a few! LOL Sit back & relax and check out my favorites!

August 2025








The last day of August we lost Mr. Shady and to this day it's still a tough loss.


September 2025




Mid September we welcomed a new member to the Aungst family. Meet Sushi. 
He is a Jack Russell puppy that Kelsey adopted. He will never take Mr. Shady's place in our hearts but he's been a real joy in learning his personality and his little barks. He looks alot like Mr. Shady but is very different in many ways.

There are so many more projects I would like to have shared here but these were my top favorites! I hope you have enjoyed seeing them again. 

I would like to take a minute to "Thank You" all for your support and comments throughout the years! It has meant the world to me and gave me the motivation I needed to stay crafty. 
I hope in 2026 to share many more crafty projects & cards and hope that you will continue to come back to check them out & comment!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year full of health & much happiness! 
Oh, and lots of crafty goodness!

Happy Winter

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Today I am sharing a card I made recently with some new & retired Stampin Up! products. I sometimes make Happy Spring, Happy Summer and Happy Fall cards but never anything to celebrate winter. I pulled out the current Snowflake Kisses bundle and noticed some of the sentiments were perfect for a Happy Winter card! Now, I am not a fan of winter weather but I know a few that are...





Card Details:

Stamps: Snowflake Kisses (Online Exclusives), Festive Friends (Online Exclusives)
Ink: Versamark, Garden Green, Real Red
Cardstock: Real Red, Garden Green, Christmas Tags & More Specialty Kit
Accessories: Snowflake Kisses Dies (Online Exclusives), Many Mittens Framelits (retired 2017),  Green/White Ribbon (Online Exclusives), White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Red Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Christmas Tags & More Specialty Kit comes with punch out and some great patterns of designer series papers. I had a few scraps in my pack and that is what I used on this card. 
I was pleased with how it turned out! Now I just need to get it addressed and in the mail!

Happy Winter to you!
