Wednesday Wanderings

It's Wednesday so what have you on your calendar today?  Well outside of work, my daughter has Girl Scouts tonight as they prepare for Girl Sunday at church and a cookie booth sale, more pictures to scrap!  I am thinking I need a day off but we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Joint Commission, anybody that has ever worked at a hospital knows about them.

Today I am sharing a card that I am sending to a family that recently suffered a loss, as I don't know them personally but the host for the artful scripture journal FB group asked if we would shower them with some encouragement.  So my card is going postal today.

The card came together quickly as I used paper from the DCWV Juniper Berry 6x6 paper pad, some Recollections flowers, ribbon and MS pearls.  I am sharing this card for the HIMCR#190 Freestyle challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room and the  #176 Monochromatic  challenger over at Use Your Stuff.

Girl Scout Sisterhood

I'm back today to share another LO for my duaghter's Girl Scout album and it is my eleventh LO for the year.  Earlier this year their troop attended a lock-in, where they spent the night in a shopping mall along with hundreds of other Girl Scouts.  I used papers from K&Co, the red glittered camera die was given to me at a crop a few years ago.  Thickers and bubble alphas were used  for the title. The pattern paper was so busy so I didn't want to over embellish the LO,  the girl scout is a file from the Silhouette store,  the banner was cut with my SLICE and to finish I just added a few gems.

Take care and have a great day.

Hello Monday

Wow this trying to post everyday isn't easy and my projects are always simple but they take forever to come together!  Today's project is a card that I'm sending to one of co-worker's daughter, she is basic training for the marines so I thought a card would send her a card to encourage her.  I just used more scraps of paper from my stash, a MS butterfly punch and I cut the sentiment with the Artiste cricut cartridge.

Take care, come back soon.

Sunday Musings

Today is my MIL's birthday and I am at home alone while the family celebrates, sometimes you just need to be alone.  I did go to church this morning but I am really not feeling well, I have a really bad sinus headache.  It's nice outside but I have too much to do inside!

Today's project is a birthday created using a piece of pattern paper from American Crafts, card stock form DCWV, a Spellbinder die cut, flowers cut using the CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge and gems for centers of the flowers.

I failed at my no craft spending for LENT, I was doing fine until I got an email about the 50 percent off sale at the Silhouette online store and then I went to Michaels to do a return and I just had to check the clearance aisle.  Now I have to start all over, shame on me!

It's The Season

I am back today to share another completed LO, I am really pleased how it looks!  The only thing left  is to add the journaling.  The LO includes  pictures from a December meeting for our organization.  We met at a restaurant and enjoyed food, fun and fellowship.  Once we completed the business part of the meeting we ate and played a gift exchange game.

The pattern paper was leftover from another project, I used some MS gold pattern paper to mat the pictures.  The little gift embellishments are some stickers from my stash, the tree and title were files from the silhouette store and I decorated the tree with stickles and added a gold pearl to the center of the star.  So pleased to have my tenth LO of the year done.

Take care and enjoy your weekend!

Hello Friday

Today's blog post is another page from my artful scripture journal, I am all caught up as this is this week's scripture.  I just used two pieces of scrap paper from my stash and a few embellishments, some TH distress ink and my computer and it was done.  I am so enjoying this project as it is not only allowing me the opportunity to enrich my scripture knowledge it has afforded me the opportunity to cross paths with more people.

The kids are out of school again today, the trip in was icy in some spots but for the most part my trip in to work was fine.  Take care, be safe and have a wonderful weekend.

Love and Luck

It's Thursday and the kids had another inclement weather day due to more snow in the forecast.  They are calling for 2-4 inches of snow so they may be out again tomorrow.  We are so ready for Spring!

Today's card is one that came together rather quickly as I used a piece of textured paper that has been in my stash forever, cut the clover with my SLICE and used a sentiment stamp from the dollar aisle, added some twine, a button and a few sequins and the card was done.

I am sharing this card for the following challenges:

Use Your Stuff  #175 -  Twine

Hiding in my Craft Room  #189 - Any Holiday

As always thank you for your visit, be safe and come back soon!
