Happy Thoughts

 

Hello Sunday, lots of birthdays and reasons to share some uplifting thoughts!  Today's card share is one created using sketch inspiration from one of the Throwback Sketches over at Sketch N Scrap.  I shopped my stash and used a die from the Sizzix Let Love Grow set and some papers from a Bella Blvd 6x8 paper pad.  I stamped the sentiment using a Woodware stamp set.  I am also sharing this card for a plant themed challenge hosted on YT and IG and the Word Art Wednesday challenge for Weeks 714-715.  This card is done and will be going postal on Tuesday!

Thank you for your visit, take care and continue to enjoy your holiday weekend!

Celebrate

 Hello Thankful Thursday, I wanted to share this post yesterday but as life would have it I just didn't get around to it!  For this card I used a sketch shared on the Stick it Down FB group, some random papers from Momenta and My Mind's Eye and  some dies from my stash! This card came together nicely, hoping my crafting mojo will return soon.  I am sharing this card for the August monthly charge over at A Cut Above and the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes for the weeks 712 and 713.

Hello and happy Wednesday evening, today's card share is a friendship card created using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #673.  This card came together quite nicely and it will be going postal soon.  I used random pieces for paper from my stash, a circle punch, a Spellbinders stamp for the sentiment and some butterfly stickers from Crafter's Companion.  I picked the stickers up from a craft yard sale last weekend!  I'm sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday challenge for weeks 706-707, their challenges are always anything goes along as they are family friendly/

CIU #330 Send me Flowers

 Hello and Friday, let the weekend begin! Today project share was put together for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme for challenge #330 is Send me Flowers.  I started off with a vision of a Spellbinders die set that I didn't own.  I used my envelope punch board to create the envelope and a sunflower and  leaf die for the flowers.  The stamped sentiment is from a Woodware stamp set.  I like the outcome and will probably try it again using a different flower.   I am sharing this card for challenge #807 - "D" is for Die Cut over at Little Red Wagon and the Anything Goes challenges #698-699 over at Word Art Wednesday.

Now that you've seen my card I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your Send me Flowers project, don't forget to use a die cut on your project.  The challenge starts today and ends on Monday, May 26, 2025 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will visit again soon.

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin.  Today I am sharing a card that I created for one of  my scrapping BFFS Rachelle is celebrating her birthday today; my cousin Josiah is also celebrating his birthday today.  When putting the card together I used several items from my stash for the first time, the Spellbinders rainboot die, the frame die and the pattern paper.  I like how this card came out and I hope Rachelle is pleased even though it is going to be late!

Monday Musings

 Hello Monday, doing a quick drive by to post to share a card that has been waiting to be used for some time.   I have had this little die set in my stash for at least two years and this was my first time using it; I really need to resume my no craft shopping ban.  I have way too much stuff sitting around waiting to be used.  In addition to the die set I used mostly scraps of paper and a stamped sentiment from Crafter' Square (picked it up from Dollar Tree on Saturday and used it on this project that was waiting to be finished.

I  am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenges 657-658 over at Word Art Wednesday and NBUS challenge #64.

Thank you for your visit, take care and continue to be safe.  I hope you'll visit again soon.

Enjoy the Little Things

 Hello and happy Wednesday and let the mini vacay begin!  Today is my last day at work this week but that doesn't mean I'll be resting and relaxing.  We made plans to paint and try to get my play space in order so I can free up the dining room.

Today's card share was created using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #763, pulled papers from two different Recollections 6x6 paper pads and a small gold scrap from my stash of paper scraps.  The cupcake was created using a Crafter's Companion stamp and die set, this was my first time using it and it was a process.  I'm not sure when I'll use it again even though it has an ice cream cone on it too, its the trying to find the different inks that made it a long process!  The stamped sentiment is from another Crafter's Companion set, finished by adding a few gems and I like it! I'm sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge 655-656.

Thank you for your visit, take care and be safe and enjoy the upcoming holiday.  Hurry back soon!

Thursday Musings

 Hello and happy little Friday! Doing a quick drive by post to share a card I put together this week using the Concord  & 9th H2Hello die set.  No, I didn't need to add anything to my crafting stash but when I saw this die set I added it to my wish list!  Since this was my first time using the die and I wasn't creating for a specific person I just used some random papers from my stash, the sentiment is a part of the die set so I just added a few gems and this card was done. I hope to sit down and cut some more cups soon for future projects.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #653 over at Word Art Wednesday and the monthly challenge over at Never Before Used Stuff .

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