Saturday Musings

 Hello Saturday morning, it's raining and I'd like to be in bed but there's too much to do! I'm stopping in to share my last graduation card of the season (hopefully). I used random items from my stash and paper that matched to school colors. This signature clean and simple card came together just as I planned and will be given to the recipient today as he is celebrated. I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash challenge #574 - Congratulations and the Tic Tac Toe challenge #293, where I used the center row (gold, free space and congrats sentiment).

Thank you for your visit, enjoy your holiday weekend and hurry back again soon!

Congrats

I'm sharing this card for the weekly challenge over at Crafting Happiness Challenges #213 - Anything Goes and Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes for Weeks 123-456.

Wednesday Musings

 Hello and happy Wednesday, doing a quick drive by post to share a graduation card that I created for a family friend. I used sketch inspiration from Just Us Girls where this week's challenge #821 was to CASE a design team members project.  I used inspiration from DT member Sue and I flipped the card sketch and added some ink splatters. I used my Cricut to cut all the other elements of the card from three different cartridges. One graduation card done with only two more to be done!

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

Congrats

Hello Thursday, another beautiful weather day here in our area; didn't get to walk this morning so that means I'll have to make an effort to get it done after class this evening.  Today's card share uses sketch inspiration from Mojo Monday #560.  The pattern paper is from Paper Studio, I cut the sentiment using the Beyond Birthdays cartridge and caps using the Graduation cricut cartridge. This is another version of a previously created card, using my stash as I'm not buying any new craft related items; only adhesive and mats as necessary.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge over at the The Sisterhood of Crafters.

Take care and hurry back soon!

CIU #200 - Shoot for the Stars

Hello Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today’s card share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #200 is Shoot for the Stars, a congratulations project with stars.  The  sponsor  for this challenge is DRS Designs and they are offering a $20 voucher to their online design store.

I created my card using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #554 and papers from my scrap stash that coordinated with the recipient’s school colors.  The pig is a digital stamp provided by our sponsor that I colored with color pencils and markers, used a Darice star embossing folder and a few wood veneer stars.  I created this card for one of my friend’s grandsons, he is one of the class of 2020 high school students that will have to settle for a non traditional celebration.

Now that you’ve seen my project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration.  Create and share your congratulations project that includes a die and  stars.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, May 27, 2020 at noon EST.

Thank you  for your visit, I hope you will come back soon.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend, be safe and stay healthy.

Graduation

Hello and happy Saturday, doing a quick drive by post as I want to get my chores done early!  Today’s card share is a card created for one of my scrapping friends daughter, one the many 2020 high school graduates that has had their last year of high school altered by the pandemic.  I used her school colors, a star embossing folder, a file from the Silhouette design store,  finished the card by adding a small gem to the bow and it is going postal today!  It had been a long time since I used my Cameo so I had to update the software and maneuver some new features which means I have some more learning to do!  I am sharing this card for the anything goes challenge #114 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and healthy!

Fun Fold Card

Hello and happy Wednesday, I am doing a quick drive by post as I should be getting dressed for week.  Yesterday another one of my scrappin' besties Danita shared a double easel fold card so I decided to give it a try when I got home last night. You should visit her blog and watch the  YouTube video that we used for inspiration.  Our graduation season is almost over, this card is going postal to Ohio and we have just one more trunk party next week before Baby Girl leaves.  The pattern paper is from The Paper Studio and the cap is. a Jolee sticker, because the paper is so busy. I decided not to add any additional embellishments, the inside includes a personal note and gift card.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #95 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit hurry back soon!

Canvas Project

Hello and happy hot Monday,  with a forecast for storms this afternoon.  I am so looking forward to some cooler temps this week.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share a canvas project that I made as part of a graduation gift.  I used vinyl to cut the wording and used the Cricut Graduation cartridge to cut the caps.  I see more canvas projects in my future, just need to master using more than one color of vinyl.  I am sharing this for the Bitten by the Bug 2 anything but a card challenge.

Thank you for your visit, try to stay cool in this extreme heat.  I hope you'll return again soon!

Graduation

Hello and happy Tuesday, one week and one day since Baby Girl graduated high school!  Today's card share is one of the cards that I made for her using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #147.  The congrats confetti came in some packaging from one of our orders and she told me that I should use it in a card, so I made her a shaker card.  I only had to add a few things to the confetti mix, used the Darice die set for the cutouts, craft foam, acetate and a Stampendous stamp for the sentiment.

Graduation

Hello and happy hump day, two days past graduation.  I have been trying to share for the past two days but as life would have it I haven't had time!  Today's project share is another graduation card using sketch inspiration from CAS(E) this sketch #325.  I used misc. papers from my scrap stash, a Fiskars stamp and punch for the graduation cap and the stars and a Stampendous stamp for the sentiment.  I'm also sharing this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #91 over at Cardz TV.

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

Hello and happy sunny Thursday, it is going to be warm today.  I won't be spending too much time outside.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share one of the graduation cards that I made as I am running out of time since June will be here soon.  The pattern paper is from Paper Studio, picked it up a few weeks ago when they had single sheets of pattern paper on sale.  The Polaroid was cut using an unbranded die, stamped the sentiment and added a few stickers and this card was done!

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

Cut it Up #155 - ABCs or 123s

Hello and happy Friday, it's the weekend and there's lots to be done!  Today I'm sharing my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The challenge is ABCs and or 123s,  your project can include either or both.  Keeping with the school themed cards I made a graduation card which I know I will need  lots of them for 2019.  I used pattern paper from  the WeR Memory Keepers Hall Pass 6x6 paper pad, the Days and Dates Cricut cartridge for the number and the Wrap It Up cartridge for the cap.  I finished off this card by adding a small wood veneer star to the cap.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful week.  Looking forward to your next visit!

Graduation

Hello and happy Monday, I really meant to share this post yesterday but as time would have it I didn't get around to it.  I really thought I'd have lots of time since DH has been out of town but for some reason I've been busier.  This is the last week in school for the public school localities and the last of the graduation ceremonies.  Today I am sharing a graduation card that I put together for my co-worker's daughter using her school's colors and a star embossing folder that I was recently gifted by one of my scrapping BFFs!  The sketch inspiration came from sketch #225 over at CAS(E),  I cut the cap using the Locker Talk cricut cartridge and the year using the Days and Dates cartridge.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon!

Graduation Card

Hello Friday, more rain today and a total wash out for tomorrow.  It's that time of year and of course I have procrastinated in getting my graduation cards done.  We went to a party on Saturday and I just gave the person a generic inspiration card which really wasn't a big deal because what matters most to the young people is the card contents!  Today I am sharing a card that I made sketch inspiration from sketch #120 over a Can You Case It?  I used paper from my stash, a Darice embossing folder and the cap cut was made using the Locker Talk cricut cartridge.  I hand wrote the year and stamped the sentiment.  This card will be going postal today to the son of one of my crafty friends.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Throwback Thursday

It is Thursday and we woke up to warm temps and rain and of course I didn't want to get out of bed! We are in countdown mode as we are gearing up to celebrate the 15th birthday of our baby girl.  I am back today to share a LO using a picture of my DH and his brother.  I was going through an old album and decided to scrap the picture of them taken the day my DH graduated from college.

I really dug through my scrap stash and completed this LO using only one full sheet of paper as the base.  I used stickers from two different Momenta sticker packs, AC wood veneer stars, the wavy arrow was cut previously with my cameo and the cap using the school's colors cut using the Locker Talk cricut cartridge.

Take care and enjoy your day!

Graduation

It's that time of year, let the celebrations begin!  Today I am sharing one of the cards that I made for one of the graduates; used more of my stash, cut the caps with the Locket Talk cricut cartridge.  I should have made the card larger as I had to cut the inside message short.   I will just continue to send her encourage communication as she continues on with her graduate studies.

We are in Virginia Beach as we will be attending the graduation ceremonies for Virginia Wesleyan College later this morning.  We went to the Baccalaureate ceremony last night and will be attending one family celebration tonight here and another one next week in Richmond.  So happy for the graduates and the parents!

Take care and make it a great day.

Graduation

I have been trying to sneak some play time in anywhere that I can which means little to no sleep, running late to work and housework not being done!  Today's card is  one that I made for my cousin after I received his graduation announcement in the mail earlier this week.

Inspiration for this card comes from sketch #291 over  at Clean and Simple Stamping.  I used  a K&Co designer paper pad, and a Jolee sticker.  The stamp that I used is from Stampin Up, just that simple and it is done, I love their sketches.  I am also sharing this card for this week's blog challenge over  at Scraps of Color.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.
