Sunday Musings

Hello and happy Sunday, mild temps now but it is going to be really cold later.  I am doing a quick drive by post as I need to get dressed for church.  Today's card share is another birthday card using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #486 and pattern papers from the My Mind's Eye Happy Day 6x6 paper pad.   I finished the card with some stamping, a little coloring, some enamel dots, a Spellbinders oval die and an unbranded stitched oval die.  I'm sharing this card for the pastel color week challenge #471 over at Just us Girls.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful week.

Thinking of You

Hello Friday, a forecast for the possibility of  another wintry mix within the next few days.  Today's card share is one created using this month's card sketch challenge over at  Stick it Down.  I used more scraps of paper from the My Mind's Eye Paris & Co 6x6 paper pad, just a few more projects using these papers and this pad will be done! I also used a Pink & Main stitched rectangle, a Paper Studio stamp and some enamel dots to finish off this card.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #81 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, hope you will come back soon!  Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Let's Celebrate

Hello and happy Thursday, seasonal temps and some cloudiness in our area this morning.  I'm back today with a quick driveby post as I had already scheduled my post through tomorrow!  There are just so many January birthdays within my circle and I'm on a personal challenge to try to conquer my mounting scrap paper stash!  I used sketch inspiration from Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge #390,  I received the papers as part of a challenge prize pack last year and it resurfaced while I was doing some organizing so I'm not sure which company sells the paper.  My plan is to finish it off this weekend.  I cut the tag using an unbranded die and the sentiment using one of the Spellbinders Die D Lites; finished the card by adding some sequins and Glimmer Mist.  I'm sharing this card for the Die Cuttin' Divas birthday challenge #403.

Take care and hurry back!

Happy Birthday Kayla

Hello and happy Wednesday, seasonal temps with the kids back in school as of yesterday!  Today I'm sharing a simple craft project that I put together for one of my daughter's friends that recently celebrated her birthday.  When shopping for her gift I had picked up a journal, an inspirational daily reading book and a pen but my daughter wanted include something a little more personal.  I had given my daughter one a few years ago and she really liked it so she wanted me to do one for her friend.  I  had everything in my stash with the exception of the letter K which came from ACMoore.  I used the Love You a  Latte cricut cartridge to cut the little frappe cup which is one of her favorite Starbucks drink. I'm sharing this project for the Anything Goes challenge #80 over at Cardz TV and the challenge #30 over at the Love to Craft Challenge Blog.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return soon!

Just Because

Hello and happy Monday, another inclement weather day for the kids in our area.  I am taking a break from birthday cards today as  I am still trying to use my stash of paper scraps; I just can't seem to toss leftover pieces of paper.  Today's card uses sketch inspiration from card sketch #137 over at Sketch N Scrap.  The paper used came from the My Mind's Eye Fancy That 6x6 paper pad, I used unbranded dies for the bow and the stitched circle, added a stamped sentiment and a few Queen & Co Jellies and this card is ready to go postal.

Thank you for your visit,  have a wonderful week and stay safe if you have to go out.

Saturday Musings

Hello and happy cold Saturday, we are currently on snow watch!    I am planning a very lazy day, which I might regret when Monday rolls around.  Today I am sharing another birthday card where I used sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  It's the beginning of the year and as I continue to try to de-clutter and use my scraps,  I created this card using only paper scraps and an unused diecut.  I know that the pattern papers are ffrom My Mind's Eye but I don't know which 6x6 pad!  Another card done and ready to go postal to one of my high school besties!

Thank you for visit, I hope you will return again soon.

Cut it Up #165 - How's the Weather

Hello and happy Friday, today's project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #165 is How's the Weather and our sponsor is Avery Elle.

I struggled with coming up with a project for this challenge as our weather in this area has been somewhat unseasonable at  times.  So I decided to just go with a winter theme since it is winter and the forecast calls for the possibility of some snow flurries this weekend!  The snowflake pattern paper is from a Recollections pack from several years ago, I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the window and my Cricut to cut the snowflakes.  The sentiment came from the Cardz TV Snow Day stamp set, added a few crystal Stickles to the frame and this card was done!  I'm sharing this card for the Winter Blues challenge #385 over at Shopping Our Stash.

Now that you've seen my project I hope you will head over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration and decided to share your How's the Weather project for a chance to win a gift certificate from our sponsor.   The challenge starts today and ends on Wednesday, January 23 at noon (EST).

Thank you for your visit, have a wonderful weekend.
