New Year’s Eve

Hello and Happy New Year’s Eve night!  I meant to share this post earlier but as life would have it I didn’t get a chance to share until now.  I created this card using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap  #160, papers from the Recollections Cozy Lodge and the Holiday Foil 6x6 paper pads. The snowman stamp is from the Simple Stories Holly Jolly set and the sentiment is from Cardz TV.  The white layer was embossed with a Darcie snowflake folder.  I really like the card but had a hard time getting a good picture because of the foil paper.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes sketch #535 over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you’ll return again soon.

Monday Musings

Hello and happy Monday, seems like it has been forever since I shared on my blog.  It is not even the hustle and bustle of the holiday it is just life that gets in the way of our ability to do some of the things that we want to do!  Today's project share is a card created using sketch inspiration from card sketch #159 from Sketch N Scrap.  I used papers from the Recollections Christmas Plaids 6x6 paper pad, and unbranded die for the sentiment and some Gina Marie enamel dots. 

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return soon.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season!

Planner Disc Swap

Hello and happy cold and rainy Monday, I am doing a quick drive by post today.  I have way too many unfinished holiday projects so I am in a time crunch to at least get my cards in the mail within the next few days.  As mentioned in an earlier post I said I would share the planner disc that I sent in the holiday cards for a planner group swap.  The disc are for the Happy Planner and I just used permanent markers to write inspiring words on one side and the year on the other side.  They went postal last week and hopefully have made it to their destination. I'm sharing this project for the Anything Goes challenge #104 over at Cardz TV and challenge #41 over at Love to Craft challenge blog.

Thank you for your visit have a marvelous week.

Hello and happy cold Wednesday, woke up to a little snow this morning but it has all disappeared now.  Today's project share is the final card created for the 12 Cards of Christmas challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  The final card was to create a Z fancy-fold card (instructions provided).  I used pattern paper and a cut apart from the DCWV Classic Christmas 12x12 pad that I picked up for my December Daily project.  The Michaels paper flowers and  Love Nicole rhinestone stars are items that I usually have in my stash!

Good morning and happy misting, foggy Monday.  I'm doing a quick drive by post as I meant to post yesterday but as life would have it I didn't have time.  Today's project share is another card created for the 12 Christmas card challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  I used a cut apart from the Craft Smart Miss Claus 12x12 paper pad, stamped a sentiment and added some glimmer to the center of the bow and this card was done!  Challenge #11 was to add presents to your card so this stack of gifts included on this apart was a perfect choice for one of my signature clean and simple cards!

Thank you for your visit, hope you have an amazing week and that you'll return soon!

Holiday Swap

Hello and happy Friday, cold temps here in the Commonwealth with a forecast of some possible sprinkles this afternoon.  I have been up way too long today so I'm looking forward to going home and getting into bed.  Today's project share is some holiday cards that I made for a planner disc and card swap, I tried to make them as simple as possible since I have to include a disc which means the postage will be higher.  I will share a picture of the disc once I am finished with them which will be soon since I hope to have them in the mail by Monday.  I used mostly papers from the Love Nicole Winter Whimsy 6x6 paper pad and misc. die cuts and stamps.  I'm sharing this post for the Anything Goes challenge #104 over at Cardz TV, #516 over at Just Us Girls and the Winter  Holiday challenge #410 over at Shopping Our Stash.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Wednesday Musings

Hello and happy cold Wednesday, cold temps and cloudy skies this morning.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share another card created for the twelve card series over at Soul Scrappers.  This is my 9th card so I have three more and I hope to have them done by the end of the week.  For this card I used a Sizzix 3-D embossing folder and just added some rhinestone stars,  and added the layer to the card base with some double sided foam tape.  I am also working on cards for a card/planner disc swap for a planner group and trying to get my own holiday cards done and in the mail.  As far as the December Daily, I'm take notes and sometimes photos and hope to work on it during my monthly crop with the RVA Scrappers next week.

Thank you for your visit, hurry back!

Best Wishes

Hello and happy Cyber Monday, hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving and that you are gearing up for more fun with family and friends.  I have so much that I need to do within the next few weeks, need to sit down and plan it all out.  Today's project share is another installment on my challenge of holiday cards created for the 12 cards of Christmas over at Soul Scrappers.  The eighth card was to include a Christmas elf,  I used the Wrap it Up Cricut cartridge to cut my elf, the papers came from the Craft Smith Say Freeze 6x6 paper pad, the sentiment came from one of the CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut stamps; finished the card by adding just one enamel dot!

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

Hello, happy Sunday and first day of December, rain and cool temps in our area today.  Baby Girl will be going back to school today, she will be back in 11 days for her winter break.  I think I may have mentioned earlier that one of my scrappin' besties suggested that we do a December Daily, after watching several YT videos I decided to try a memory/rolodex style daily.  Today's project share is a few of the prep cards that I created using misc. papers, dies, stickers and embellishments.  I sure hope I can keep up with this as I do have a lot going on right now.  My plan is to share periodic updates, I am sure I won't snap a picture everyday but I will at least journal!

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

Sending Big Hugs

Hello and happy Wednesday, more seasonal temps in today's forecast.  So much has been going on that I haven't even had time to process and or share but I'm just trying to be thankful and not complain.  Today's project share is a card that I created for one of my scrappin' besties that recently suffered an unexpected loss.  Although it is one of my signature clean and simple cards, I really like how it came out.  I used the Calm & Loving stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, my stamp positioner and some dimensional adhesive before adding the layer to the card base.  I'm sure I'll be using this stamp set again soon as it has lots of sentiments.  I'm sharing this card for the November challenge over at the Love to Craft challenge blog.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and that you'll return soon.

Joy

Hello Monday afternoon,  cloudy outside as the sun is setting; I am back to share my second blog post of the day.  It is another Christmas card and I have yet to finish my Fall/Thanksgiving cards.  I still need to make two sympathy/thinking of you cards and one birthday card this week.  I created this card and I am sharing it for one of the card challenge being hosted over at Soul Scrappers, challenge #6 was to include nativity as part of your card, I used one of my Silhouette files.  The file itself makes such a statement so I decided to only add a few layers not to add any embellishments.  This particular file is one of  my favorites.

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

Congratulations

Hello and happy cool Monday.  I am back today with a quick drive by post sharing a card that I made for someone expecting their first child.  I used sketch inspiration from CAS(E) #348, papers from the Echo Park Bundle of Joy  6x6 paper pad, used my SLICE machine to cut the onesie (added a wood veneer heart) and a stamped sentiment and this card was done.  I am sharing this card for the Cardz TV Anything Goes challenge #102.

World Kindness Day

Hello and happy World Kindness Day!   After our first sighting of snow yesterday and the drop in temperature I pulled out the big coat, scarf and gloves this morning!  Today's project share is something new for me but not new to the industry.  I am sharing my very first memory dex/rolodex card.  One of my scrappin' besties suggested that we do a December daily so off to YT for some ideas before I commit to another project.  After watching December Daily Memory Dex Spinner  I have decided that I am going to do this for my December daily but not with the spinner I am making a box; so stay tuned as I prepare for this project.  So for my first run I decided to do a Fall themed card since that's what I am working on now.  The rolodex card is a file from the Silhouette store, I used  misc. scraps of paper, stickers and a Darice tree die and this project was done!  I am sharing this project for challenge #382 over at Use Your Stuff and challenge #513 over at Just us Girls.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return soon, stay warm.

Hello and happy Friday, seasonal temps in today's forecast.  Today I am sharing my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme is Ghosts, Goblins and Ghouls and the sponsor is Stinkin Cute Paper Piercings.

This was another one of those themes that was a struggle for me since I really don't do Halloween.  I decided to look through some of my Cricut cartridges and Silhouette files for a little inspiration.  My project includes a treat bag and a card;  the bag is a file from the Silhouette online store and the ghost on the card  was cut using the 3 Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge.  After I decided what I wanted to do the project came together nicely (I think) and I used items that have been in my stash for a long time. First time using the Darice falling dots embossing folder, not sure whether you can see it on the card!

I hope you will stop by the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration and decide to share your Ghosts, Goblins and Ghouls project for a chance to win some crafting goodness from Stinkin Cute Paper Piercings.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday,  October 30, 2019 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return tomorrow for my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.

Girls Rule

Hello and happy sunny Tuesday, mild temps in today's forecast after a cool morning.  Today's project share is a another LO completed for my daughter.  I think it looks better in person, hard to photograph the foil paper.  The pattern papers are from a Paper Studio Be Bold Be Bright paper pad, I cut the title using the Cricut George cartridge and the silhouettes and tag are files from the Silhouette online store. Although I don't care for the limited amount of space I think I'll be making mostly 8 1/2 x 11 LOs for Baby Girl while she's in college.  I'm sharing this LO for the Anything Goes challenge #100 over at Cardz TV and challenge #39 over at Love to Craft challenge blog.

Saturday Musings

Hello and happy Saturday, it is cool right now but the forecast calls for mild temps today.  I am currently visiting my daughter for family weekend and since I was busy all week I didn't really have time to share.  Yesterday was my mother's birthday and since I put her card in the mail without taking a picture I didn't prepare a post to share which was my original intention.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together this morning using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #524.  When I arrived here in Harrisonburg I stopped at Tuesday Morning looking for a gift but I wind up buying crafting goodness instead.  So today's card uses some of what I purchased, paper and ephemera from the Jen Handfield My Bright Life collection.  The Recollections gems are a part of my stash that I keep in my car.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #100 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Planner Vibe

Hello and happy Tuesday, cloudy and rain sprinkles in our area today.  Did you know today is National Salmon Day, and it is one of my favorite things to eat!  Today's project share is my weekly spread from my happy planner.  I went to the Planning a Better me Retreat a few weeks ago and I decided I needed to use my planner more especially since I have lots of planner stuff too!  Just like my scrapbooking style my planning is clean and simple too, couldn't a very good picture.

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

You Warm my Heart

Good afternoon, I am doing a quick driveby post to share another post and card using sketch inspiration from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #427.  The pattern papers came from the Heidi Swapp Favorite Things 6x6 pad, I think it's time to use up these papers and toss or get rid of the ones that I don't really like.  I'm such a paper hoarder I hate tossing paper.  I used a Fiskars stamp for the sentiment and an unbranded die for the cup.  I am not a coffee drinker but I love hot chocolate and flavored tea! I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #99 over at Cardz TV.

Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Happy Birthday Granny

Hello and happy Saturday  more warm temps in today's forecast.  Today's project share is an easel card that I created for my daughter to give to my mom after watching  a May May Made It YouTube  video.  I used papers from a Fall 6x6 paper pad, a cut from the Base Camp Cricut cartridge and a few Gina Marie enamel dots.

On the other side of the card, I added  a pcicture of my mom and daughter, used a Prtint Works stamp for a caption and added a wood veneer heart.   I really like the card and it is one that she can display all year long!  I am sharing this card for the Grandparent challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2 and the Cardz TV Anything Goes challenge #99.

Thank you for your visit, hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Speak Up 5k

Hello and happy Tuesday, more nice temps in today's forecast.  Today I am sharing a LO that I put together using pictures taken earlier this month when I walked in a 5K.  I started on this LO about two weeks ago and finally decided to finish it last night, I used pattern papers from the DCWV Teenage Dream Stack, cut the sneakers with my SLICE machine and the medal and title using my Cricut.  Another LO completed and in the books!

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return soon.  Take care.

Be Merry

Hello and happy Sunday, where does the weekend go?  Today I am sharing a super quick card that I put together yesterday for one of the Sketch N Scrap  FB  monthly challenges.  I used papers including the focal point came from the Recollections Say Freeze 6x6 paper pad, a ART-c stamp for the sentiment , finished the card by adding some diamond stickles.  I can say that I did have a productive weekend in regards to finishing several projects as I will be attending  a retreat over the weekend so I might not get any play!

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