Warmest Wishes

 Hello Friday evening, stopping in to do a drive by post as I meant to share this card earlier this week. Today’s card share was created for a  FB challenge that I started last month and still haven’t finished. I used a Spellbinders dancing snowman die as the focal point. I still have quite a bit of items that I have never used  or want to revisit (shopping my stash) so I am always looking to participate in challenges. I might just be crafting Christmas all year!

I am sharing this card for the January 2026 Anything Goes over at A Cut Above and the Free is Good Challenge #564 over at Shopping Our Stash.

Thank you for your visit and hurry back again soon!

CIU #347 - My Favorite Die

 Hello and happy Friday, my birthday weekend celebrations starts today!  Today over at the Cut it Up challenge blog we are using our favorite dies; for me I am using  my current favorite die.  I go through phases where I use one more than others but I have lots of favorites  Today I'm sharing a card using the postage stamp collage die, I paired it with another die set that I used for the first time this month, the  paint brush and butterflies came from the Spellbinders Paint Your World Collection.  It is several years old and I don't have the entire collection.  The stamped sentiment is also one of my favorites from a Spellbinders Sentiments for You stamp set. I guess you can say I'm using a few of my favorite things!

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your project using your favorite die(s).  The challenge starts today and ends Monday, January  19, 2026 a noon PST.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon.

Sunday Musings

 Hello Sunday evening, doing a quick drive by post before I get ready for bed!  I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge #662.  The pattern paper came from some miscellaneous papers gifted to me some time ago. I used a Spellbinders label die and a Crafters Companion flower die, some enamel dots and a Stampin' Up stamp for the sentiment.  Another card done and ready to go postal soon!

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon.

Happy New Year

 

Hello and happy Saturday, I have been to share all week but as life would have it I didn't get around to it.  Today I am sharing the first card that I created this year and shared on FB and IG on Thursday. I used sketch inspiration from sketch #8 from Mary over at Cardz TV.  I used random papers from my stash including some foil paper from Recollections, a few curs from the Cricut and I stamped and embossed the sentiment; finished the card by adding some Spellbinders gems.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderfully blessed 2026.

I also used a TH embossing folder and and heat embossed the sentiment.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Christmas challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters.

CIU #346 - Anything Goes

 

Hello and happy Friday, praying that you had a blessed Christmas with family and friends. Today’s card share is the project created for the final challenge for 2025.for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The challenge for challenge #346 was Anything Goes and in keeping with my quest to use unused items from my stash I created a shaker card. When creating my card I used some very old pattern papers from a K&Co mat pad and a Momenta die set for the tree. The die set was one gifted to me a few years ago. The shaker bits have been in my stash  for some  years too, came from the Target Dollar Spot along with the sticker sentiments, I made a lot of cards bout failed to mail most of them, there’s always next year! I'm sharing this card for the December Christmas/Winter challenge over at Die Cut Divas.

Now that you’re seen my card I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge for more design team inspiration.  Create and share your Anything Goes project using a die cut, the challenge starts today and ends Monday, January 5, 2026 at noon PST.  

Continue to be safe during this holiday season! Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll visit again soon.

Sunday Musings

 

Wow, it has been forever since I share but I have been trying to get some crafting done.  I have been a little under the weather so I have been resting trying to get over whatever is going around.  Today's card share is another holiday card created using inspiration from Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge #660. I used pattern paper from a Park Lane paper pad,  a Tonic Studios tree die (first time using it), some gems and a TH label sentiment.  Another card and going postal tomorrow, not sure if it'll make it to it's destination in time!

Thank you for your visit, take care and enjoy time with your family and friends during this season.
