Wednesday Wanderings

Hello and happy Wednesday, one more day until Turkey Day!  I am working today and may even come in for a few hours on Friday, I will be off on Thursday to spend time and visit with family and friends.  I really would love to just spend the day working on some LOs since I've only been doing cards lately.  Today's card is one that I put together using more paper from the Autumn Splendor paper pack.  This paper has been in my stash for at least 4 years and I just started using it, it was a gift from another scrapper.  I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder and I really didn't want to cover up the words so I just added a single flower with a button in the center.

Take care and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I'll be back to share again on Friday!

Marvelous Monday

Hello and happy Monday, as usual the weekend went by way too fast!  I am running behind getting my Thanksgiving cards in the mail, I plan to make a post office run during lunch.  I didn't meet my target quantity or mail date but such is life.  Today I am sharing a card using sketch inspiration from Stampin' Celebration sketch #117.  I used more paper from the Making Memories Autumn Splendor paper pack, a punch for the flag, cut the leaf with my SLICE and added a few jellies and this card was done!  I am also sharing this card for the Be Thankful challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.   I have my friend Felisa to thank for all of the different sketch challenges, she keeps my mailbox full with inspiration.

Take care and have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving.

Hello Thursday

It's raining outside but it is warm, love these nice temperatures in the Fall; I am not looking forward to Winter.  Well let the countdown begin, one week until Turkey Day!  Today's card is one that I put together for the FB card group, it is going postal to someone that recently suffered a loss.  I used paper scraps from another card that I made recently, the paper is from Making Memories and the stamp is from the Pink Bow Ties creative card angel set.  Added a few pearls and this card was done. I am sharing this card for the Super Scraps Saturday challenge #225 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Wednesday Wanderings

Today has been a busy day so I am just getting around to posting, I started my day by attending my daughter's parent teacher conference, it took over three hours for me to speak to all of her teachers.  It was good we just need a little attitude adjustment she received many compliments on her leadership abilities!  I am back today to share another Thanksgiving card that I put together using a sketch from The Crooked Stamper.  I made several cards using this sketch so I am almost done so I hope to meet my Friday mailing deadline.  The pattern paper used is a leftover sheet from last year's paper purchase from Hobby Lobby so I think I have enough to make two more cards and then it will be gone!  I cut the turkey using the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge, added a gem for the eye and a stamped sentiment and it was done!  I am also sharing this card for this week's color challenge over at Can You Case It?

Take care and come back soon!

Hello Tuesday

I am back today to share a birthday card that I put together using a stamped image that I colored during a recent FB challenge.  The stamp is from the set called Sorority from Pink Bow Ties,  I have had it for a while so I am not sure whether it is still available.  I put this card together this morning for one of the challenges that I received in my email yesterday from one of my scrapping besties. The Anything Goes challenge was posted over at Seize the Birthday.  All items used on this card have been in my stash for some time with the exception of the Off the Grid paper from Colobok which I picked up last month in a discount store called Ollie's

Take care and remain prayerful for the world, our country and families including mine!

Something Different

Hello and Happy Sunday, the weekend is coming to an end and I can't suy that I accomplished a lot!  Oh well such is life, I am back today to share another card that I put together for Thanksgiving, I sure hope I finish and get them in the mail by Friday!  As you know I usually stick to clean and simple paper crafting and I rarely step out of my comfort zone.   I finally pulled out my supplies and did some wet embossing, this is probably not a big deal to most but I finally tried it after having it on my to do list forever.  I hope that you can see it on the sentiment, it's not perfect; I do plan on adding more wet embossing on more of my holiday cards.   I used some paper from a Making Memories (Autumn Splendor) paper pack that has been in my stash for a long time.

Take care and have a wonderful week.

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!
