Take a Chill Pill

Hello and happy Tuesday today's forecast calls for sunny skies, less wind and extremely cold temps.    Today's project share is a get well card that was requested by one of the card angel members. She requested something lighthearted for her father who is a general contractor and recently fell off a roof.   The pattern piece of paper came from the Love Nicole Time Machine 6x6 paper pad, I used  the Recollections Cheeky Modern Pop Chill Pill  stamp and die kit for the sentiment and pill, added a few enamel dots and this card was done!  Although I've had this stamp and die set in my stash for at least six months this was my first time using it!  I'm sharing this card for the Anything New challenge #113 over at Dies R Us.

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

Brighter Days

Hello and happy Wednesday, another inclement weather day here for the kids, hopefully they will go tomorrow!  I'm back today doing a driveby post of a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Fall to Layout #101 Take 2 over at Palmtrees and Pogosticks.  I used mostly scrap paper from my stash, I do know that the flowered pattern paper is from Jillibean Soup.  I added a Recollections flower, a button and an unbranded stamp for the sentiment. Another completed card and ready to go postal.   I'm sharing this card for the Super Scraps Saturday #382 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Thank you for your visit, hurry back!

Reindeer Greetings

Hello and happy cold Tuesday, another inclement weather day for the kids but duty calls and I am going to work.  Today's card share uses sketch inspiration from the December card sketch over at Stick it Down.  The paper came from one of the AC paper pads that I think was originally sold in Target but I picked mine up in TM.  I used the Create-a-Critter 2 Cricut cartridge to cut the reindeer, used a glitter pen for the stitching and stamped the sentiment.   Another card created and going postal for the card angel group.  I am sharing this card for the Christmas card challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2.

Thank you for your visit, hope you come again soon!

Card Sharing

Hello and happy rainy Monday, it is cold too after some nice weekend temps.  Today I am sharing some super simple holiday cards that I created at the request of a card angel she is collecting cards to give to homeless  kids. I created these cards after watching Mary's video where she used one sheet of 6x6 paper to create five cards, I decided to just use her measurements but using mostly scraps from the same paper pad.  The paper that  I used  is from an older Recollections 6x6 pad, I think the name of it is Sugar Plum.  I used different stamps for the sentiments and enamel dots from Paper Studio and Recollections.  I have five more cards to make but I will use paper from a different pad. I'm sharing this post for the Anything Goes challenge #72 over at Cardz TV and  the Love to Craft Challenge Blog #28 Anything Goes.

Thank you for your visit, have a marvelous Monday!

Tuesday Musings

Hello and happy Tuesday, another nice sunny day here in our area.  I am still trying to finish my Mother's Day cards in hopes that I can get them in the mail tomorrow!  Today's card share is one that I created using sketch inspiration from last week's sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping, some Doodlebug Design paper and a Lawn Fawn stamp set.  I used some color pencils and wink of stella on the stamps, this is one of those cases where I think the card looks better in person!  Another card created and going post for the FB card angel group.  Take care and have a great day.

Sunday Musings

Hello and happy Sunday, I meant to post yesterday but as time would have it I didn't.  I was busy all day doing nothing, now I must  busy myself doing things  today that I should have done yesterday so I can be ready for work tomorrow!  I am almost done with my holiday cards so they will be going postal tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.  Today I am sharing a card that I created for the FB card angel group for a sick child that loves trains.  I used misc paper scraps from my stash, my SLICE for the train, a punch for the stars added a sentiment and the card was done!  Sharing it for the Anything Goes Challenge #25 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit, hope you have a wonderful week.

Friday Musings

Hello and happy Friday, looking forward to some downtime this weekend or rather maybe not.  Next week is homecoming at my daughter's school and we still need to shop.   Oh well such is life we just have to make the best of it.  Today I am sharing a card that I made using inspiration from this month's sketch #342 over at Die Cuttin'  Divas.  I used papers from the Pebbles Garden Party 6x6 paper pad, stamped, heat embossed and cut the flowers using a stamp and die set  that I picked up on clearance from Hobby Lobby sometime ago.  I threw away the packaging but I think it may have been something exclusive to HL by Richard Garay, the founder of Fun Stampers Journey.  A few enamel dots and a stamped sentiment completed this card that will be going postal to one of the FB card angels.  I will also share this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #20 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Cards for Kids

Hello Thursday, more cold weather for us.  Today I am sharing some cards that I created for the FB card angel group or rather it was requested by one of its members.   The request was posted last week for kid cards so I spent some time over the weekend putting these 10 signature simple cards together.  I used a of variety papers, stickers, die cut embellishments and stamps for the sentiments.  I like how they came out and I was able to use some stuff from my stash, used the bike die and reindeer stamp for the first time!  Take care and I hope you'll come back again soon.

Just a Note

Hello and happy Wednesday, today is my last day at work for this week..  Today's card is one that I really like how it came out but the lighting seems a little off.  I have Melissa from Moe Creations to thank for this card's inspiration.  After seeing her video I decided to use my Wellies die for the first time  and I am sure I will be using it again soon.  I used paper from a Momenta 6x6 paper pad, some stitched rectangle dies, flowers from Hobby Lobby and a punch for the greenery.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes Designer Challenge #6 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit, take care and enjoy your day.

Hello Friday

Hello Friday, it's raining hard here right now so of course I'd rather be in the bed! It's the weekend, do you have plans?  I'm back today to share another card that has gone postal to another child in need of some encouragement.  I used paper from a 4x6 pad that was gifted to me many years ago, I think it came from Hobby Lobby.  The die is another one of the dies that I purchased off Ebay from China, I really like it but it took several tries before I could get it to cut correctly.  I am sharing this card for the anything goes challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas and Crafty Gals Corner.  Thank you for your visit, take care and enjoy your weekend.
