Thankful Thursday

Hello and happy Thursday, originally I wasn't going to post today but I decided to share this card that I put together last night.  The sketch inspiration came from sketch #423 over at Mojo Monday, I feel like it's missing something but in the interest of time I need to hurry and finish my Thanksgiving cards!  I am also sharing this card for the Thanksgiving/Fall Color Challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2 and the Anything Goes Challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut challenge blog.  I used more paper scraps and the Autumn Celebrations cricut cartridge and this card was done!

Tomorrow starts the weekend, do you have any exciting plans?  My DH will be heading out of town today so it'll be just me and baby girl.  I sure hope we can get lots of  chores done and we still need to shop for shoes for her homecoming dance.  I am hoping to finish up my Thanksgiving cards and settle on a sketch so I can start my Christmas cards!

Happy Veterans Day

Today I'm joining in celebrating, honoring and thanking the many men and women that serve and have served in the armed forces and their families.  Thank you to my dad, uncles, aunts, father-in-law, brother-in-law, other family and friends that have served or continue to serve.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together for one of my co-workers that retired from service in the army.  I used the Stand and Salute cartridge for all the cuts on the card and paper from my stash.

It's going to be a nice day here so I will probably take a walk during lunch.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you will come back soon.

have a Great Day

It's raining and cool outside so I'm feeling like I should be in bed!  The rain should stop at some point today and they are calling for warmer temps tomorrow.  I'm back again today to share another card created and sent on behalf of the Creative Card Angels group on facebook.  The person receiving the card is actually a member of the group that has had some health issues lately.  The inspiration for this card came from one of last week's posted on Obsessed with Scrapbooking.  I just used some scraps from an old 6x6 paper pad, I think it may have been Basic Grey.  I cut the red circle using the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge and punches for the pattern scallop and white circle.  All done another signature simple card using scraps of paper and a stamped sentiment!

Hello Monday

It's Monday again and of course the weekend went by so fast that I really didn't complete much of anything on my 'to do' list.  I did manage to put together more cards for the FB card group and that is what I'll be sharing this week as I try to finish up my own Thanksgiving cards; still not sure when I'll have time to work on a LO.  Today's card will be going postal to someone that is seriously ill and will soon be heading to hospice care.  The sketch inspiration for this card came from Die Cuttin Divas,   I used paper from my scrap stash,  a die, a stamp  and a few pebbbles.  When I saw that tree on my crafty friend Felisa's blog I decided I needed it, it is from Darice and I was able to pick it up from Tuesday Morning for a great price.  I used my cuttlebug to cut it.  Take care, stay warm and have a wonderful week.

Fall Pumpkin

Hello Saturday, I am back today to share another Thanksgiving card.  I am sharing today's card for the pumpkin challenge over at Bitten by the Bug2.  I used more scraps of paper from my stash along with the Autumn Celebrations cricut cartridge to cut the pumpkin and the Wall Decor and More cartridge for the vine.  I chose not to add a sentiment to the outside of the card so this card will be done once I add the inside message.  It has been a busy week so I will need to try to play catch with making cards for the FB card group and just maybe I'll get to work on a LO!

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Hello Friday

Today I am sharing another card that I am sending to someone that recently suffered a loss.  The sketch inspiration came from Your Next Stamp challenge #26.  I used paper scraps from a 6x6 Basic Grey paper pad called Serendipity and a stamp that has been in my stash for a very long time.  I cut the lily using the Garden Soup cricut cartridge, first time using this cartridge; another unused item finally opened and used!

Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Simple Thanks

Hello Monday, where does the time go?  There just isn't enough time to complete my weekend 'to do' list.  I had to do some shopping for my daughter, we had to get  a dress for her high school homecoming festivities and exchange some other items that I purchased when she wasn't with me.  I just can't shop for her anymore and she doesn't like to shop with me because I don't want to pay regular price for anything!  Oh well she will learn when she starts making and spending her own money.  Besides I always shop the clearance and sales when shopping for me.  Oh well on to today's post!

Today I am sharing a Thanksgiving card that I put together over the weekend, my plan is to make and  mail about 15 cards for Thanksgiving and Christmas.   I just used miscellaneous scraps of paper, a stamp, some leaves leftover from other projects and a few gems.   I am sharing today's card for the following three challenges:

CYCI#93 Fall  Anything Goes -  Can You Case It?

HIMCR#293 Freestyle - Hiding in my Craft Room

FFC#112 Anything Goes - Jo's Scrap Shack

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will come back soon.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful week as we kick off the holiday season.  I sure hope I get to work on a LO soon, I really don't consider myself a card maker.
