It's amazing to me that our nephew turns 50 today! I remember well when he was born. After using the Ellen Hutson "HB2U" stamp for an earlier masculine card, I decide to give it another try using some different stamps in the set as well as different colors of Concord&9th papers.
The stars came from an old Simon Says set that arrived as part of Card Kit called "All Boy." I'm being more proactive about going through my stamp sets looking for smaller stamps that might work well with another set. I like these a lot.
It's impossible to tell from the photographs, but I added just a touch of glitter to the tiny opening in each heart.
A favorite add-on to Photoshop Elements will no longer work with my computer. I recently got a new laptop when there wasn't enough memory to update to the latest operating system. It's a sneaky way to force you to upgrade even when you weren't planning to. It's proven to be worthwhile since my old laptop's battery ran way down during one of my Zoom/GoogleMeet meetings. This one barely notices. At any rate, I'm giving the RadLab replacement a trial run. It has more features, but has to be used (to the best of my knowledge) as a separate editing tool. I have mixed feelings about it, but it does streamline the editing process, and uses many of the same filters I was used to. I have a week to use it before purchasing, so I have some time to play around before making a decision.
We're head home from Wisconsin today. The virus is so rampant we considered driving straight through, but there's also the weather to contend with. It appeared two days ago we'd miss the snow, but it looks now that from eastern Pennsylvania to home might be a bit snowy. We'd rather not drive that in the dark, so we'll split the trip up into two parts. I had an email chat with a friend today, and admitted my Covid fatigue was increasing. She replied that she's now in Covid despair. I'm not quite there yet, but I do understand where she's coming from.
