Friday Musings

Today's card is one that I put together using more scraps from one  of the projects that I worked on at the retreat.  I still need to share that project once I embellish the cover.  The card sketch inspiration came from sketch #208 over at Freshly Made Sketches.  I am also sharing this card for this week's super scraps challenge over at  Hiding in my Craft Room and the ribbon challenge over at Use Your Stuff.

This week has gone by so fast and of course I have not been able to keep up.  It is almost 11:00 pm but I wanted to share before I go to bed for the night.  I am trying to stay awake as my daughter is out at a concert, her first without me or her father.  She is not without family supervision as my brother-in-law is her chaperone for the evening, DH is working and I wasn't up for it!

Wednesday Wanderings

It's Wednesday and I'm feeling like I can't catch up, my desk is running over with lots and lots to do and to be done!  I'm back today to share some of  the pages for my scripture journal that I worked on at the retreat; I need to work more diligently to get my journal caught up.  I just used miscellaneous scraps of papers and a few embellishments, the book is already busting at the seams!  If I decided to do another one I think I'll choose a different type of book.

 

Columbus Day

It's Monday and a holiday, I am really tired!  I had a wonderful weekend at a crop with a great group of scrappers.  I didn't get much done but I enjoyed the fellowship, didn't even bother to take a die cutting machine or not one sheet of 12x12 paper; it really didn't matter because the other ladies were willing to share.  So today I am sharing the two cards that I did manage to put together.  The double sided sheet of pattern paper came from Gwen, from North Corlina, all other pieces are scraps from my stash.  The ornament is a stcker and the candy was cut using the Christmas Cheer cricut cartridge.  I also used some twine and a borrowed border punch.

Take care and have a great week.

Feel Better Soon

It's Thursday and I leave for my weekend getaway tomorrow, dropped my car off to be serviced this morning so all I will need to do is load it first thing in the morning and leave once baby girl goes to school.  I have to decide what I am going to do so I may not pack much and just catch up on my scripture journal.  I'm back today to share another card that I created for the card group.  I used one of the stamps from  a Fiskars stamp set that had gone unused; I have way too many stamps, supplies, machines, etc.  that I've never used.  I did a little coloring, added some stickles, and a few other embellishments along with a sizzix die.  This card will go postal tomorrow to someone that is recovering from surgery.  Take care and enjoy your day.

Tuesday Musings

Hello, its Tuesday and I'm starting to feel a little anxiety.  I am not ready for this weekend's crop, there is just too much going on and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and stretched.  I sure hope I can get everything in order within the next two days.  Today I am sharing a slightly different version of the card that I posted on Sunday.  I used more paper from the  Heidi Swapp Favorite Things 6x6 paper pad along with a Recollections flower and a smiley face sticker.  I think the stamp is one from a Hero Arts set, all done and ready to go postal.

Take care and have a Terrific Tuesday!

World Card Making Day

Yesterday was  another rainy day and World Card Making Day.  I must say I didn't do much of anything, I took my daughter to get her hair done, ran a few errands then came home took a long nap,, woke up and did some chores.  I did put together two more simple cards for the Facebook card group so I am sharing one of them today.  The pattern paper is from Basic Grey, used a punch, a flower from stash and it was done.  Now that I am looking at the card it looks like it could be a Christmas card, may have to rethink sending it until later!

It's Raining

I am so over this rain because all I want to do is sleep!  We still have a few more days of rain before it starts to clear but at least it looks like we will be spared hurricane Joaquin.  Today I am sharing another card that I put together for another child that was recently hospitalized.  I used more of my scraps of paper, the pattern paper is from the DCWV grade school paper pad, used the cricut cartridge Cuttin' Up for his name and the Create-a-Friend cartridge for the ribbon.  The card sketch inspiration came from challenge #238 over at Try Stampin on Tuesday.  Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
