Teacher Appreciation Cards

Where has the time gone!  I can't believe how far I am behind with my crafting and everything else.  I really need some organization help, there just always seems to be so much to do and not enough time!  I was up until 3:00 am Friday morning working on my daughter's Teacher Appreciation gifts, they were almost hot off the press when it was time for us to head out the door.  I didn't get to take a picture of the monogrammed candy dishes only this not so good picture of the cards.  I used misc paper scraps, stickers, stamps and my expression to make the cards.

I decided to share only because my daughter will be starting high school next year so this will probably be the last year we do Teacher Appreciation!  Take care and have a wonderful week.

Happy Mother's Day

Today I am sharing a Mother's Day card using the sketch inspiration from Clean & Simple Stamping. I used some paper from the My Mind's Eye 6x6 Indie Chic paper pad.  All items were from my stash, some of it a little longer than I care to admit.  I only completed a few Mother's Day cards so I had to buy most of my cards from Hallmark and the grocery store.  I know shame on me but sometimes life gets the best of you; I am just so behind!

Take care end enjoy today and have a great week!

Science Project

I have been a little under the weather so I haven't really been crafting which means I haven't finished my Teacher Appreciation and Mother's Day cards.  I did manage to finish another LO for my daughter's school album which is what I'm sharing today.  This is the edited version of her Science project LO,  I changed the title after I had shared it for a FB challenge group yesterday!  I used DCWV papers, sticker embellishments from Recollections and jellies from Queen & Co.  I cut the title using the CTMH Artiste cricut cartridge.

Take care and enjoy your day.

Hello May

It's time to get back to work in the morning, where does the time go?  I had too much on my plate, only got one LO started for NSD, finished it before church this morning!  I went out of town after church so I am just getting a chance to post it.

Today's LO uses pictures from our daughter's trip to the emergency room earlier this year.  I may have shared in an earlier post that she fainted and hit her head.  After a trip to her pediatrician she advised us to take her to the emergency room.  Once all the bills came in I was thinking well what did the insurance cover!  Since the base of the LO is so busy and I wanted to use all three pictures I kept the embellishments to a minimal!  The doodle circle is a file from the Silhouette online store and  the hospital is a cut from the Everday Paper Dolls cricut cartridge.  Thickers for the title along with a few other items from my stash and my19th LO for this year was done!

Wishing you and yours a wonderful week!

Wednesday Wandersings

It's Wednesday, let the countdown begin!  So much going on this week so prayers and praises being lifted for people, cities, our leaders and the world.  I am joining others in a global prayer for a brave little girl who is battling cancer, it just breaks my heart but I believe in a God that has no limits so he can heal her body.  I'm praying for the city of Baltimore as there is much to be done, lets get busy!

Today's Mother's day card was made using paper scraps from my stash and several of my Spellbinders Nestabilites.  I have lots of stuff in my arsenal but rarely use it.  The pattern paper came from a Basic Grey 6x6 paper pad that I was gifted in a swap a few years ago. I used a MS punch for the butterflies and a stamp for the sentiment.  I am sharing this card for HIMCR #197 any holiday over at Hiding in my Craft Room and Mema's Crafts anything goes April challenge, must use a die or punch.

Take care and have a great day!

Hello Monday, where did the weekend go?  My plans to catch up on some major paper therapy did not happen!  I think I may have to schedule my own National Scrapbooking Day event, as I am way behind.  I would love to be current with my artful scripture journal and my daughter's school album since she will be moving on to,high school.

Today's LO is one that has been siting unfinished for some time, I used my daughter's fall school pictures.  The LO took many turns until I finally decided I need to move on, the sketch inspiration is actually from a card.  In keeping with my scrapping style I didn't include a lot of embellishments because my main focus is always the picture(s).  I used Thickers, paper from the DCWV Indian Summer Fall Stack and Embellishments from Recollections and Kaiser Craft.  This is another one of those LOs that look better in person, oh well it's done and I'm on to the next project!

Wishing you and yours a wonderful week!

Hello Friday

Let the weekend begin, haven't had a chance to really craft or share on my blog.  I am hoping that I can find sometime to play tomorrow as DH and DD have commitments so I'll sneak in some playtime between errands and chores.

Today I am sharing a simple project that I put together last night for my daughter, she wanted to give something to the office staff at school for Administrative Professionals' Week.  I had the clothes pins in my stash that I had picked up from Michael's and just decided to alter them with some lettering and flowers to make a little note holder.  I cut the little file folders using the Fabulous Finds cricut cartridge,  I only had two pins so I just picked up some fresh flowers for the other person and they all received a Starbucks gift card.  I guess I need to start thinking about Teacher Appreciation soon!

Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
