Mother's Day

 Hello Sunday and Happy Mother's Day, doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I recently created.  I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #628 and shared it over on IG for the crafty dares challenge.  The challenge was to use feathers, a die cut and some splatter.  This card includes mostly stash items that I have had for years!

Monday Musings

 

Hello Monday, raining outside which hopefully will help the grass, flowers and some relief from the seasonal pollen.  I haven't shared much recently but I hope to get back into creating and sharing soon, the recent loss of my mother has had me in a different place.  I know that God has me covered and this season of mourning is not forever.  Today's card share is one that I created for a Crafty Dare challenge over on IG.  The  three dares were postage stamp (die), music themed (paper) and a pocket (die).  I like how it came out and will be sending it to someone soon; I used a Pink & Main stamp set for the sentiment and inside greeting.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes Monthly challenge over at A Cut Above and the Word Art Wednesday challenge for weeks #692 and #693.

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

Make a Wish

 

Today's drive by post is a card that I created for a challenge hosted over on Instagram.  This crafty dare challenge was to include postage, a number and at lest three layers  The pattern papers came from a DCWV paper pad, I used a postage stamp die set and other die sets for the sentiment, the number 4 and the balloon.  Finished the card  by adding some Spellbinders gems.  This super cute card will be going to my girl friend's granddaughter.

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

Sunday Musings

 Hello and happy Sunday, doing a quick drive by post to share another card.  I created this card as part of the @craftydares challenge over on IG using sketch inspiration from Try A Sketch on Tuesday challenge #651.

Looking at the finished card I noticed I made a placement error but I can't move the elements around now!

Happy Easter

 Good morning, wishing you a wonderful day filled with the blessings of love and happiness!  Today's project share is a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #750.  I wanted to use a recently created tag that was sitting on my desk so I decided to use it and a another die instead of the oval.  Everything used on the card has been on my stash for some time, this was my first time using the splatter embossing folder.  I shared this card over on IG for the @craftydares, @2crafters1design and the @satmorn challenges. I am also sharing this card for the Spring has Sprung challenge #518 over at Shopping Our Stash.

Hello Sunday

 

Hello Sunday and the start to a new week, first full week of Fall.  I'm up doing a quick drive by to share a card that I created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #225.  This Fall themed card contains items from DCWV, Simple Stories, Recollections, cut the spider web using the Create-a-Critter cartridge and I think the wheel barrow is a Crafter's Companion die.  I shared this card for last week's @craftydares challenge where you were to use a spider web, a pumpkin and leaves. Another card done but I have to step up my LO game as I have just a few more days before this quarter ends!

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