Sip & Paint

Hello and happy Thursday, high temps are in the forecast for today.  I am excited to share today's project because it is a LO; I haven't completed a LO in a long time!  I used sketch inspiration from sketch #127 from Sketch N Scrap.   I used paper came from one of the Craft Smith paper pads, can't remember the name right now.  I used Thickers for the title, cut the doodle circle,  wine bottle and glass with my cameo and I cut the paint and brush using the Locker Talk cricut cartridge.  I really like how this came out so I am going to try to spend the weekend completing more LOs.  Take care and have a terrific Thursday.

Hello

Hello Tuesday, it's going to be a long day I have been awake since about 3:30 am.  Today I am sharing a LO using a picture taken last March at a community service project.   We were about to leave and decided to take one last picture, I'm glad because some of the other pictures taken during the event did not come out too good.  This is one of those true less is better LOs, I didn't want the picture to get lost since that's what matters most!    The papers and embellishments came from  my stash are from several different companies.  The LO looks better in person because you can see the small details better.  Take care and enjoy your day.

Happy Holidays

Wow, the countdown is on and of course I'm not done with my cards but I have set another deadline this week! It's raining outside here and they are calling for cooler temps and maybe some flurries by the weekend.   I was busy all weekend trying to finish the challenges for the online crop hosted by Sketch N Scrap on FB, all challenges had to be completed by last night.  The good thing is that I did manage to finish several LOs,  I'm sharing one of the LOs  today.  The LO uses pictures taken last Monday at a dinner meeting, we had so much fun eating, sharing and playing the white elephant game.  The challenge was to create a LO using the traditional Christmas colors (red, green & white).  I used papers from a Recollections paper pad from last year, I think it is called Festive, everything used has been in my stash for quite some time!  Take care and thank you for your visit.

Drum Roll Please

Hello and happy Friday, another rainy and gloomy day here in our area.  I'm so over the fact that the the April showers have spilled over into  May showers, my girlfriend and I were joking yesterday saying it has been raining forty days and nights!  So today I am sharing a LO, I am so far behind that I've just got to get the pictures scrapped without too much fanfare.  The LO uses some pictures taken at a meeting that I recently attended for an organization that I belong to associated with my husband's fraternity.  Although we had lots of food, fun and fellowship we still had to take care of some business too, I guess I should have scrapped some of those pictures too!  This makes the 9th LO of the year toward my challenge goal.

Happy Mother's Day, take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Friday

We made it, another Friday and the weekend has started or rather for me it will start around 5:30 when I leave work for the day.  I am sure I will be struggling to stay awake since I woke up at 2 AM and didn't go back to sleep until almost 5 AM and when I woke up and it was light outside I went into overdrive.  When I couldn't sleep I went downstairs to work on my last LOs for this month's challenge.

Today I am sharing another pocket style LO, I have several that I am hoping to finish soon.  I need to figure out a better way to take the pictures as the glare is horrible.   I originally scrapped the picture of the wives that attended the dinner in my Simply Beautiful post so this one include additional pictures.  The fraternity brothers with the white coats have been members for 50 years or more.

Take care and have wonderful weekend.

Simply Beautiful

It's  going to be really hot again today so it means I will spend as less time as possible outside! Today I am sharing a LO that I created using a picture  taken of the wives that attended a dinner with their husbands at a fraternity dinner last month, I may scrap some of the other pictures later.  My original vision for this LO took quite a few twists and turns before I considered it done.  I used my cricut for the title, my cameo for the the dress form,  and a spellbinder die for the label that I used for the journaling.  The red gemstone flourish is from the Paper Stack.  I am still hoping to make my monthly goal, I need to work on my photography skills the LO is not straight (that's what happens when you rush to take the picture as you're headed out the door for work)!

Take care and make it a great day.

Good Times

We are expecting nice temperatures today even though it is cool outside right now.  It's Thursday which is min-Friday according to one of the anchors on one of the morning news shows.  I'm having mixed feelings as it seems I haven't been able to get as much work done as I had planned since my manager has been out all week on vacation.  Oh well such is life!

Today's LO uses a picture taken of some of the Kappa wives when they went out for lunch after attending church celebrating the Kappa's Founder's Day in January.   I had a schedule conflict so I did not attend.  I have mixed feeling about the LO but I needed to move on; used just one sheet of paper in addition to the card stock base along with a few Prima embellishments and flowers.  The title is a file from the Silhouette online store.

Take care and have a great day.
