Happy Galentine

 

Hello Tuesday night almost Wednesday early morning.  We had some snow flurries today; no school, remote work and the day ended with sleet.  I'm doing a quick drive by to finish this post that I started on Monday.  I created the background by using random strips of paper from the My Minds Eye Lucky in Love 6x6 paper pad, trying to finish it off this year so maybe I can get some new Valentine paper next year!  I used a Honey Bess stamp set for the sentiment and finished by adding some flat heart gems from Recollections.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #84 over at Love to Craft.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon.

Share the Love

 Hello and Happy Heart Health Month!  Doing a quick drive by post as I've been extremely busy  just trying to maintain.  Today's card was created using sketch inspiration from an My Favorite Things sketch.  I committed to sending cards to some widows this year as part of my participation in a card group on FB.  I used more papers that have been in my stash for years, a Spellbinders heart die, a MFT banner die for the sentiment and finished by adding a Recollections heart sticker.  I am sharing this card for the February Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above and challenge #540 Crafty Remnants over at Shopping Our Stash.  My remnant was the glitter paper still out on my desk from Christmas projects!

CIU #297 - Have a Heart

 Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today's card share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the them for challenge #297is Have a Heart.

I got the inspiration for this card from scrapbook.com and because I thought it needed something else so I decided to emboss the background after I created it.  I have mixed feelings about it so I might try it with a different font or color the next time.  I used some momenta alphas to cut the Xs and Os, a Darice Heart embossing folder, heat embossed the sentiment and the card was done and will be going postal soon!  I am sharing this card for the Paper Players theme challenge #675.

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 Have a Heart project, don't forget to use a die!  The challenge starts today and end Wednesday, February 21, 2024 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit have a wonderful weekend and hurry back soon.

Thursday Mustings

 Hello and happy Thursday, mini Friday let the weekend begin.  I started this post yesterday and for some reason I never hit the publish button so here I am tweaking it!   I'm back today to share another one of the layouts that I created for the National Scrapbooking Day.  I'm still really behind but such is life, I'll get it done as time permits that goes for the chores and everything else in life. For this 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbook page I used a picture taken of Baby Girl on Valentine's Day while she was out dining with one of her aunts.  I used a pagemaps sketch for inspiration, paper scraps, washi tape, stickers, dies and a embossing folder.

Hello and happy cold Sunday, we only got a dusting of the snow storm so I'm good.  I haven't felt much like walking but I'm planning to bundle up and get it done in a bit.  I'm do another quick drive by post to share another one of the cards that I made to donate to a facility, I hope to finish them today and get them in the mail no later than Tuesday.  For this care I used sketch inspiration from Try Stampin on Tuesday, more papers from an old Stampin Up pad called Love Blossoms, it was gifted to me by one of my scrappin' besties.  I used a sizzix die to the cut the heart and a Cricut CTMH stamp for the sentiment, it came with the Artfully Sent set.  I finished this super quick card by adding some Recollections gems!  I will probably used this sketch again since this card came together so quickly with just using papers from the one pad and a die as the focal point.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and have a wonderfully blessed week.
