Thursday Musings

 

Hello cool Fall Thursday morning!  I actually started this post yesterday morning but here I am finishing it when I should be asleep! This thing called "life" won't allow me as much play time, I don't know why but it seems to be taking a toll and I can't figure out how to balance everything!  Today's card share is a signature clean and simple card created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #495, papers from a DCWV Farmstead Harvest 6x6 paper stack, a circle die, one of the dies from the Sizzix Wildflower die set and a Hero Art stamp for the sentiment.  I am sharing this card for the Use Your Stuff challenge #469 Die cuts.

Thank you for your visit; I hope you will come again soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

 Hello Thursday evening, just stopping in to do a quick drive by post.  I hope you have enjoyed your holiday and that you enjoyed your time with family and friends.  I will be going to bed early as I am tired and if I go to bed I won’t keep eating!  Today’s card uses sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #206.  I used papers from the DCWV Indian Summer Fall glitter and cardstock mat stacks, cut the leaf using a Darice die, a Hero Arts stamp and some Ki Memories  gems.

Thank you for your visit and continue to take care as you go about; hope you will return again soon!

Happy Thanksgiving

 

Hello and happy Sunday, the start of a new week; a chance to do and be better.  Today I am doing a quick drive by share of a card created using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches  #632, papers from the Simple Stories Fall Farmhouse 6x8 paper pad. I cut the diamonds using the Tonic Studios Mixed Edge Diamond Layering Set, used a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment finished the card by tying a bow with some twine!  Another card done and going postal tomorrow, hope it arrives in a timely manner!

Thank you for your visit continue to be safe in your preparations for  the upcoming holiday.

Hello Monday

 

Hello Monday, I started this post yesterday and I didn't finish it so here it goes for today!   Mild Fall temps in today's forecast and happy Sunday, windy, mild temps and rain in today’s forecast.  Today’s card share is one that was made using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap  card sketch #181, mostly scraps of paper,  the pattern papers are from a Love Nicole 6x6 paper pad.  The dot embossing folder is a Cuttlebug folder, a CTMH stamp for the sentiment and the squirrel  cut from the Cricut Create-a-Critter 2 cartridge.  I am sharing this card for the Bitten by the Bug 2 Thanksgiving challenge and the Anything Goes challenge #189 over at Always Fun challenges.  I'm done now, need to get these cards in the mail by tomorrow!

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

Monday Musings

Hello and happy Monday, a short school and work week because of the Thanksgiving holiday.  So what's on your agenda, will you travel, will you have family and friends over?  I am planning for as much down time as possible.  Today I am sharing another Thanksgiving card that I put together as week during a hangout with Felisa.  I used sketch inspiration from sketch #062 over at Global Design Project  and paper from my scrap stash, a few gems and a CTMH stamp.  Take care, wishing you and yours a great day.

Thanksgiving Blessings

Hello and happy Friday,  it's the weekend and of course the calendar is packed with things for the teenager to do!  I am happy to report that I spent last night hanging out with my scrapping buddy Felisa and I was able to get most of my Thanksgiving cards done or rather almost done.  I just need to finish the inside messages and address the envelopes and they should go postal tomorrow!  Today I am sharing one of the cards that I put together last night using sketch inspiration from sketch #474 over at Mojo Monday.   Almost everything used for this card has been in my stash for some years with the exception of the ribbon that I picked up in DT a few weeks ago and the stitched die that I received last month from China.  I am also sharing this card for the Super Scraps Saturday challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Give Thanks

Hello Thursday, tomorrow is Friday and my Thanksgiving cards aren't ready for the mail so I've got to really work tonight!  Today I sharing a super simple card that I put together using sketch inspiration from sketch #22 over at Paper Play Sketches.  I just used leftover papers from cards that I made earlier, a sticker from a First Thanksgiving sticker pack that I picked up in TM recently  and a Fiskars stamp that has been in my stash for a long time.  It seems a little off balance so I may need to straighten the turkey before the card goes postal.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you will come back again soon.

Thankful

Hello Monday,  today I am sharing a card created using a TH Sizzix embossing folder.  I have a really hard time adding embellishments when the background is completely filled with words. The inspiration for this card came from a project shared by tellHimthanku (Tina) on you tube.  In addition to the embossing folder I used three different distress inks along with some Recollections bling and flowers that I picked up on clearance from Michael's last week.  I have mixed feelings about how it came out so I may do something different when I use the Christmas embossing folder.  Thank you for your visit, i hope you will come back by again soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello and happy Wednesday, cool temps and rain in our forecast today.  I'm back today to share a card that I put together as I am trying to get my Thanksgiving cards made and in the mail by the end of next week!  The original intent was to use a sketch but as I was going through my stash of stuff I just decided to go in another direction.  I used a kraft card base, a Darice embossing folder, pattern paper from the Nicole Autumn Splendor pad, leaf embossed paper from one of the hot buy paper pads from Michael's and a few punched leaves.

I am sharing this card for the following challenges:

CAS-ual Fridays - CFC#160 Color Challenge (orange, brown, kraft)

Can You Case It? - CYCI#140 Color Challenge (orange, yellow, kraft)

Use Your Stuff - Challenge #240 - Fall

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back soon!

Wednesday Wanderings

Hello and happy Wednesday, one more day until Turkey Day!  I am working today and may even come in for a few hours on Friday, I will be off on Thursday to spend time and visit with family and friends.  I really would love to just spend the day working on some LOs since I've only been doing cards lately.  Today's card is one that I put together using more paper from the Autumn Splendor paper pack.  This paper has been in my stash for at least 4 years and I just started using it, it was a gift from another scrapper.  I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder and I really didn't want to cover up the words so I just added a single flower with a button in the center.

Take care and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I'll be back to share again on Friday!

Marvelous Monday

Hello and happy Monday, as usual the weekend went by way too fast!  I am running behind getting my Thanksgiving cards in the mail, I plan to make a post office run during lunch.  I didn't meet my target quantity or mail date but such is life.  Today I am sharing a card using sketch inspiration from Stampin' Celebration sketch #117.  I used more paper from the Making Memories Autumn Splendor paper pack, a punch for the flag, cut the leaf with my SLICE and added a few jellies and this card was done!  I am also sharing this card for the Be Thankful challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.   I have my friend Felisa to thank for all of the different sketch challenges, she keeps my mailbox full with inspiration.

Take care and have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving.

Wednesday Wanderings

Today has been a busy day so I am just getting around to posting, I started my day by attending my daughter's parent teacher conference, it took over three hours for me to speak to all of her teachers.  It was good we just need a little attitude adjustment she received many compliments on her leadership abilities!  I am back today to share another Thanksgiving card that I put together using a sketch from The Crooked Stamper.  I made several cards using this sketch so I am almost done so I hope to meet my Friday mailing deadline.  The pattern paper used is a leftover sheet from last year's paper purchase from Hobby Lobby so I think I have enough to make two more cards and then it will be gone!  I cut the turkey using the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge, added a gem for the eye and a stamped sentiment and it was done!  I am also sharing this card for this week's color challenge over at Can You Case It?

Take care and come back soon!

Thankful Thursday

Hello and happy Thursday, originally I wasn't going to post today but I decided to share this card that I put together last night.  The sketch inspiration came from sketch #423 over at Mojo Monday, I feel like it's missing something but in the interest of time I need to hurry and finish my Thanksgiving cards!  I am also sharing this card for the Thanksgiving/Fall Color Challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2 and the Anything Goes Challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut challenge blog.  I used more paper scraps and the Autumn Celebrations cricut cartridge and this card was done!

Tomorrow starts the weekend, do you have any exciting plans?  My DH will be heading out of town today so it'll be just me and baby girl.  I sure hope we can get lots of  chores done and we still need to shop for shoes for her homecoming dance.  I am hoping to finish up my Thanksgiving cards and settle on a sketch so I can start my Christmas cards!

Fall Pumpkin

Hello Saturday, I am back today to share another Thanksgiving card.  I am sharing today's card for the pumpkin challenge over at Bitten by the Bug2.  I used more scraps of paper from my stash along with the Autumn Celebrations cricut cartridge to cut the pumpkin and the Wall Decor and More cartridge for the vine.  I chose not to add a sentiment to the outside of the card so this card will be done once I add the inside message.  It has been a busy week so I will need to try to play catch with making cards for the FB card group and just maybe I'll get to work on a LO!

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
