Just Because

Hello happy Monday, the weekend just isn't long enough.  A busy home and work life makes it hard to have a lot of downtime sometimes.  I am trying to get in the holiday mood but for some reason I haven't felt up to it.  I am back today to share another super simple card that I put together using the November card sketch from Stick it Down.  The pattern paper came from the American Crafts Hot Cocoa 6x6 paper pad and I cut the bow with one of my unbranded dies, stamped the sentiment and this card was done!  Wishing you and yours a wonderful week, hope you will visit again soon.

Merry Christmas

 Happy Saturday, cold outside just doing a quick driveby post.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together using sketch #109 from Sketch N Scrap.  I was lucky enough to be randomly selected to win their monthly prize for one of the cards that I shared last month!  Today's card came together rather nicely as I continue to shop my stash of supplies.  The pattern paper is from Recollections, the  doily from the JoAnns ms sparkle & co line and I cut the tree using my Silhouette cameo.  The sentiment stamp is from the CTMH Artfully Sent cricut bundle; a gift from Cheryl, another one of my scrappin' besties!  I am on a roll so I hope you'll come back again soon.

Friday Musings

Hello and happy Friday, looking forward to some downtime this weekend or rather maybe not.  Next week is homecoming at my daughter's school and we still need to shop.   Oh well such is life we just have to make the best of it.  Today I am sharing a card that I made using inspiration from this month's sketch #342 over at Die Cuttin'  Divas.  I used papers from the Pebbles Garden Party 6x6 paper pad, stamped, heat embossed and cut the flowers using a stamp and die set  that I picked up on clearance from Hobby Lobby sometime ago.  I threw away the packaging but I think it may have been something exclusive to HL by Richard Garay, the founder of Fun Stampers Journey.  A few enamel dots and a stamped sentiment completed this card that will be going postal to one of the FB card angels.  I will also share this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #20 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Cards for Kids

Hello Thursday, more cold weather for us.  Today I am sharing some cards that I created for the FB card angel group or rather it was requested by one of its members.   The request was posted last week for kid cards so I spent some time over the weekend putting these 10 signature simple cards together.  I used a of variety papers, stickers, die cut embellishments and stamps for the sentiments.  I like how they came out and I was able to use some stuff from my stash, used the bike die and reindeer stamp for the first time!  Take care and I hope you'll come back again soon.

Happy Holidays

Hello and happy Wednesday, it's cold outside and we have sprinkles of rain in our forecast today.  I am back today sharing a card that I created this morning using sketch inspiration from sketch #55 over at Paper Play Sketches.  It is bittersweet because this is their final sketch so I wanted to make sure I participated as I have enjoyed the sharing and inspiration!  When putting the card together I used papers from the MS Essentials paper pad, cut the poinsettia using the Joys of the Season cricut cartridge and some Recollections gems for the center.  I will also share this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #20 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday.

Thank You

Hello Tuesday, cloudy and rainy in our area today.  Although I have a lot going on I decided to vote before work!  Today I am sharing a thank you card created using sketch inspiration from Fall to Layout #41 from Clean & Simple Stamping.  I used a kraft card base, paper from my stash of scraps, hemp cord, a circle punch, cut the leaf with my SLICE and a CTMH stamp for the sentiment.  I am sharing this card for the thank you challenge over at Cut it Up and the Anything Goes Challenge #19 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return soon.

Hello Friday

Hello and happy Friday, nice temps in the forecast today.  I'm back today sharing a child themed birthday card created for one of the challenges over at Soul Scrappers.  If you are looking for some inspiration/challenges you may want to check their site.  When putting this card together I chose more papers from my scrap stash and some of my neglected dies.  I picked up the Sizzix Celebrations stitched speech bubble die from TM about two months ago and balloons are from my collection of unbranded dies.  Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours an awesome weekend.
