Tuesday Musings

Hello and happy Tuesday, clouds and sprinkles as we continue prepare and brace ourselves for  hurricane Florence!

Today I am sharing a card using inspiration from sketch #288 over at CAS(E) this Sketch.  I used more pattern paper came from the recently used Bella Blvd  Make Your Mark 6x8 pad, a Sizzix stamp for the sentiment, a leftover  dimensional flower from Pebbles and some K & Co gems.  I like how this card came together and it will be going postal today later today to someone recently diagnosed with cancer.  I am sharing this card for the Make~Motivate~Connect Linkup Party #5 flower challenge over at Creations With Christina and the September card challenge over at PDE Linky Party

Thank you for your visit and I hope you will return soon.

Graduation

Hello and happy Saturday, another hot day in our area!  I have lots to do today but I am feeling tired so it may not happen, DH returns from Texas tonight.  I got so caught up in Father's Day cards that  I almost forgot about graduations.  One of my co-workers requested a card for my manager's daughter so I am sharing the card that I made for her using her school's colors.  I used sketch inspiration from #123 over at  Sketch N Scrap, more papers from my scrap stash; the pattern piece came from the DCWV Teenage Dream Stack.  Additionally I used a few sequins, a cut from the Locker Talk Cricut cartridge and a Studio G stamp.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenges over at PDE Linky (#24) and Cardz TV (#52).   Thank you for your visit, enjoy your weekend.

Celebrate You

Hello and happy Friday, another hot day in the forecast.  It's Friday and Mother's Day on Sunday so another busy weekend of things to do and people to see!  Today I am sharing another Mother's Day card created using some random paper and gems, an unbranded tag die and a stamp that I picked up on clearance from HL earlier this year.  I cut the tulips and flower pot from the Cricut Walk in my Garden cartridge.  I'm sharing this card for the following challenges:

Bitten by the Bug 2 - Mother's Day

Cardz TV - Anything Goes #46

Cut it Up - Flowers

Pause, Dream, Enjoy - Anything Goes #19

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll come back soon; enjoy your weekend.

I love You

Hello and happy Wednesday, more seasonal temps with some areas receiving sleet resulting in delays.  Today we are still celebrating Esperanza; today's project share is the Valentine's Day card that I will be giving to my daughter.  I created the card last Friday during the Friday Night Chat over at Scraps of Color.   I cut the dress using the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge and the heart buttons have been in my stash for so long I don't remember where I got them (they may be Recollections) and the stamp used for the sentiment is from Studio G.  I am sharing this card for the Valentine Cards or Treats challenge over at Pause Dream Enjoy.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday.

Thursday Musings

Hello and happy Thursday, the kids went back to school yesterday and the forecast calls for more mild weather today.  I am still on track with my 2018 crafting challenge which brings me to today's card share.  The plan is to create at least one holiday card per week so I will have my holiday cards done before I need them in December!  For this card I used sketch inspiration from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, some misc. paper scraps from my stash and  the December 25th Cricut cartridge to cut the word JOY.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #2 over at PDE Linky Party.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll return soon.

You're Spectacular

Hello and happy Saturday, the forecast calls for milder temps again today!  I am back today to share another one of my signature clean and simple cards, going postal today.   I used paper from the Recollections With Love 6x6 paper pad, a Recollections stamp, a stitched oval and a few enamel dots and this card was done.   I am sharing this card for the following challenges:

Paper Play Sketches - Sketch #34

CAS-ual Fridays - Color Challenge (red, pink, white)

PDE Linky Party - #159 Cards

Thank you for your visit, take care and enjoy your weekend.

Just Because

Hello and happy Monday, still not feeling up to par but I'm pressing on.  We have some wet weather in the forecast today with some snow flurries in some areas north of us.  Today I am sharing some post it note holders that I made as a thank you gift for an event that I attended on Saturday.  I watched Markisa's video over at Sweet Papery Treasures for inspiration for this project, she is an awesome crafter.  All items used for this project was in my stash with the exception of the mini pens which came I purchased from Office Depot.  I am sharing this project for the no cards allowed challenge over at PDE Linky Party.  Take care, stay warm and be safe.

Tag Time

Hello and happy Saturday, I was up until about 1:30 this morning and I have been awake for several hours trying to go back to sleep.  It's Saturday I need to be asleep but since I can't I grabbed my iPad to share this post!  Today I am sharing a tag, one of the projects that I was working on last night/this morning.  When I saw challenge #9 over at Perfectly Created Chaos, I went straight to my scrap stash and started working on some projects.  Using black and white and one additional color can generate lot of projects so I will be sharing more.  On the tag I used pattern paper from Paper Stack, a few enamel dots, heat embossed the sentiment and an envelope cut using the Doodlecharms cricut cartridge the tag was done.  I am also sharing this tag for the PDE Linky Party challenge #156.  Thank you for your visit, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Altered Index Card

Hello Monday, I am back today to share an altered index card that I did for a You Tube challenge.  I don't have a YT channel but I frequent if for inspiration and challenges so I decided to do this one offered by Ethnic Green Living.  The only stipulation was to use the colors green, aqua, pink, and gold, the base of the index card is green in the picture looks more yellow but it is a shade of light green.  Everything used on the card came from my stash as I am back to spending only what I need as I have to get this arsenal of supplies down as I have become a borderline hoarder.  I even donated some crafty stuff over the holidays as I'm sure there will be more donations soon as I attempt to organize and use more stuff.  I am also sharing this project for the Challenge #148 - Anything but a card over at PDE Linky Party.  Take care and have a wonderful week.
