You Brighten My Day

 We are already into 2026 and have our first
The Neglected Stuff challenge for the year.

It is always an anything goes challenge using some of your
very neglected stuff that you have never used or have not used
in a very long time.

I am a little embarrassed with my choice of neglected stuff
as I have had this Cheery Lynn Designs Step Card 1 since 2014
and never ever have used it.  During a restless and sleepless night
I remembered I had it and decided right then and there it was
going to be my first TNS project for the year!

Because the die is so long I used an old 12 x 12 for the base
and also for the decorative paper cutting it all on my Sizzix Switch.
What an easy die to use to make an awesome card!!

I also cut a PoppyStamp delightful daisy from scraps of
SU Very Vanilla card stock.  I die cut a second flower for each
and offset it underneath to give a fuller look.
The sentiment is a Spellbinders Betterpress.


Here is a side view and a tiny peek inside.

We would love to have you join our challenge
as I am sure you have plenty of 'neglected stuff' yourself!!

Entering the following challenges:
Daisy Chain .... Use Dies
Aud Sentiments .... ATG plus a Sentiment
Dragonfly Dreams .... Floral
Creative Creases .... ATG With A Fun Fold

Wow, how fun to have a die to cut a card like this, and you've made it up so pretty and cheery! It's funny the things we think about while we lie awake all night, sheesh.

Hi, Diane! Your center step card is beautiful! I love the pretty papers and sweet flowers. I love that you held on to the die and finally got it out. That's the reason our craft rooms are full of trasures. You just never know when you can use one. Thank you for participating in the Creative Creases Challenge! We hope you can join us again soon. Your support is greatly appreciated!
