Tuesday Musings

 

Hello Tuesday, just doing a quick drive by post to share another card.  I created this card using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts sketch #650, and more papers sitting on my desk from other projects.  This weekend one of my friends lost her battle  with breast cancer but today I am sharing this card with someone else that is still in the fight.  My heart is doubly heavy because my husband's 26 year old cousin took his life a few days ago and on this past Saturday I participated in an Out of Darkness, suicide prevention walk.  Life can be hard sometime but yet I remain hopeful.  I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge for weeks #718-719.

Thank you for your visit take care and be kind as you never know who may need it!  I hope you will visit again soon.

Word Card Making Day

 

Hello Sunday, yesterday was a bust as far as my play time!  I did manage to finish one card just as I could barely hold my eyes open.  For my card I used sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap World Card Making Day 2025;  I really like their sketches and inspiration. I just used some random papers from other recently created projects,  the leaf was cut using a Darice die and a piece of leaf embossed paper. Stamped the sentiment and added a few Gina Marie Design enamel dots; shopping my stash because I don't need any new crafting goodies!

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back again soon.

CIU #340 - More Than One Die Cut

 

Hello, Happy  Friday and let the weekend begin!  Today's project share is my design project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #340 was to create a project using one than one die cut, I decided to create a scrapbook layout and use one of my electronic cutting machines.

When putting my layout together, I scrapped pictures from my college reunion that I attended last Spring.  This page is actually the second page from the weekend!  I used papers from the DCWV, Stripes and Plaids paper pad,  two different Cricut cartridges to cut the fan and the hat; used a Concord & 9th stamp and die set for the boot.  I like how this page came together and happy that I finally finished another scrapbook page!  I am sharing this layout for the Anything Goes challenge #175 over at Love to Scrap.
