Good morning! Before I start with my post today I have one very exciting thing to tell you . . . I’m walking my first official 5K Saturday morning! I’ve been wanting to walk one all summer long and could never catch one on a good weekend. Walking and keeping track of my weekly miles has become the norm since my weight loss journey began a year ago, so I’m pretty excited for this next adventure in my journey!
When I was at Art at the Edge, I was lucky enough to win one of the door prizes that weekend. Now that in itself was something, because I never ever win anything. What did I win? I won a nice size gift bag of Tonic Studio dies! I was pretty excited because I didn’t even know Tonic had dies . . . I have Tonic punches and scissors (which happen to be some of my favorite tools), but punches . . . oh my BADness!
I was really excited over a couple of the die sets that I received . . . .
LAYERED SQUARES measuring at the largest 5.5” and since most of the cards I make are 5.5 square, I couldn’t have been happier! What’s even better is that part of the packaging is a magnetic sheet which the dies are on, along with a plastic sleeve with holes that can be put in a binder . . . easy peasy storage solutions right there with the packaging! The notches that you see in the center edges help to align the dies up when placing more than one down, such as making the frame below.
I just happened to use those squares on my card today . . .
I also used one of the new Quietfire Design Christmas sets, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas. This card is being featured over on the Quietfire Creations Blog today, where you can see more photos and get a few more details.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Very pretty! One down and many more to go. I am feeling the crunch right now myself!
Love your card, Sherry!
I had no idea tonic had dies either and it looks like some cool ones no one else has. Very pretty card, love the star on your pretty bow too!
Good Luck on your run!
Pretty card. So glad you won something. Have been wondering where you were as haven’t seen anything from you in quite a while. Hope you’re feeling well. Must be if you’re doing marathons. Good luck. Edna

Congratulations on your win, I also didn’t know Tonic had dies…Love your card, it’s so festive looking. Miss seeing you post but if your running must be training hard. Good luck.
