Birthday Greetings

 

Hello and happy Saturday afternoon and holiday weekend.  I have had very little play time lately, way too much going on and I am feeling a little overwhelmed.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Fab Friday #217, a piece of DCWV Mulberry paper, pattern papers from the My Mind’s Eye Life of the Party 6x6 paper pad, a Mama Elephant stamp and die set  and a little enamel dot for the bunny nose. I liked how this card came together and I was able to use up a few pieces of scrap paper too.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #144 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, have a safe and happy holiday! 

Happy Fat Tuesday

 Hello  and happy Tuesday, milder temps in our area today but the forecast calls for the possibility of some freezing rain later in the week.  I've had a full day and my work day isn't over yet, had to take care of some car chores this morning.  Today's drive by post is a card created using sketch inspiration from Fab Friday #207, papers from the Simple Stories Reset Girl 6x6 paper pad and a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment; just like that another card ready to go postal. This is one of those cards where the paper does all the work!

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and hurry back soon!

Celebrate

 

Hello Thankful,Thursday, I have been trying to share this post for two days!   I'm doing a quick drive by post to share another birthday card using sketch inspiration from Fab Friday sketch #205.  I love the simplicity of the sketch which allowed me to use some of my paper scraps from other projects.  The stamp is one that I picked up on clearance last year from Hobby Lobby.  The card base is from a pack of card/envelopes that have been in my stash forever can’t remember the brand right now. I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #132 over at Cardz TV. 

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and hurry back.

First Thursday

Hello and happy first Thursday, it's raining with seasonal temps here in our area.  So much has been going on that I haven't really had time to create or share on my blog this year.  Today I am sharing a super quick card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Fab Friday #153 and I am racing to get it posted and shared on the blog as I am coming in under the wire.  I used papers from the WeR Memory Keepers Typecast paper pad that I was gifted a few years ago.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Bo Bunny Expressions set that I picked up from TM.  I used an unbranded die to cut the stitched circle and added it to the card with some foam adhesive.  Added a few enamel dots and this encouragement card is ready to go!  I am sharing this card for the January - Anything Goes challenge #30 over at Love to Craft.

Thank you for your visit, I hope your new year is off to a great start and that you'll come back again soon.

Happy Holidays

Hello and happy Tuesday, seasonal weather in the forecast for our area today.  Today I'm sharing a card created using sketch inspiration from Fab Friday sketch #151.  This card came together quickly and I like it!  I used some pattern paper from the Craft Smith Gold Gift 6x6 paper pad, an ornament cut from the  Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge,  some gold glittered tape from Dollar Tree and some trim that I picked up last year from Target.  I'm sharing this card for the Bitten by the Bug 2 ornament challenge and the Anything Goes challenge #76 on Cardz TV.

With Sympathy

Hello and happy Wednesday, cloudy and misting in our area today.  The forecast calls for more rain and winds tomorrow as Michael makes his way.  Prayers and hopes for minimal impact for those in the path of the storm.  I sure hope the Folk Festival doesn't get rained out this weekend.  Today I am sharing a card that I created using sketch inspiration from sketch #147 over at Fab Friday.  I used pattern papers from the American Crafts Spring 6x6 paper pad, Spellbinders dies for the oval and greenery and the pennant was cut using a WeR Memory Keepers die.  I am sharing this card for the Just Us Girls Word Week #461 - Sympathy.  I am so happy that I have been using my stash but I still have lots to use as I continue to only add what is necessary!

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

Sunday Musings

Hello and happy Sunday, the weather has been really nice today so I am just getting around to posting.  I know you get tired of me saying but where does the weekend go?  It never fells I can't seem to get even  half of the things done on my to do list!  I did manage to get through the car wash line yesterday.  Today I am sharing another holiday card where I used inspiration from sketch #129 over at Fab Friday.   The pattern paper and the cut apart came from the Simple Stories Classic Christmas 6x6 paper pad.  This trying to do something craft related everyday is becoming a real challenge, I guess I could use my cleaning and organizing time too!  Take care and have a wonderful week.

Thursday Musings

Hello Thursday, first day of school this week due to inclement weather, unseasonably warm temps today and my daughter has early dismissal (teacher work day)!  Today I am sharing another birthday card, I have been using my scraps and being inspired by clean and simple sketches.  I put this card together using sketch #103 from Fab Friday, paper from an almost done Pink Paislee 6x6 pad, stamp and a dimensional flower from Paper House; everything used has been in my stash for sometime!  Take care and enjoy your day.

Thinking of You

Hello and happy Tuesday, more seasonal temperatures this week.  How's the weather in your area?  I am back today to share another card for the FB card angel group, since the recipient likes pink  I went to my stash and pulled the stuff that I used to make this card rather quickly.  The sketch inspiration came from challenge #99 over at  Fab Friday, which was shared with me by my crafting buddy Felisa over at The ScrapinDiva as we hung out over the weekend completing some projects.  

Take care and thank you for your visit.
