Fun Fold Card

Hello and happy Wednesday, I am doing a quick drive by post as I should be getting dressed for week.  Yesterday another one of my scrappin' besties Danita shared a double easel fold card so I decided to give it a try when I got home last night. You should visit her blog and watch the  YouTube video that we used for inspiration.  Our graduation season is almost over, this card is going postal to Ohio and we have just one more trunk party next week before Baby Girl leaves.  The pattern paper is from The Paper Studio and the cap is. a Jolee sticker, because the paper is so busy. I decided not to add any additional embellishments, the inside includes a personal note and gift card.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #95 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit hurry back soon!

Happy Birthday Gorgeous


Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today's project share is a birthday card for one of my scrappin besties Felisa over at The Scrappin Diva.  My apologies for not getting it into the mail in a timely manner but she knows how we do.  When putting the card together I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts  #327.  I used papers from the My Mind's Eye Fly a Kite 6x6 paper pad, an unbranded tag die and sentiment stamp (heat embossed).   I cut the cake using the Cricut Something to Celebrate cartridge which had been previously cut.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #95 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Hey Girl


Hello and happy Thursday, seasonal temps with possible rain/thunderstorms this evening.  Today's project share is a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch #419 and a few pieces of misc. paper from my stash of scraps.  My daughter loves unicorns so I made this card to cheer her up since she hasn't been feeling well.  I used a Recollections embossing folder and a stamp and die set and a Fiskars stamp for the sentiment.  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #431 over at Die Cuttin' Divas and Cardz TV #94.

Thank you for your visit, hope you'll return soon.

Retirement Salute


Hello and happy Monday, I meant to share this project yesterday but as life would have I didn't get around to it.  Baby Girl hasn't been feeling well so I've had to be her nurse.  Today's project share is another LO that I recently completed for her high school album. I used pictures taken during the Richmond Public Schools retirement banquet where she was invited to salute the retirees.  I used leftover paper scraps from previous projects with the exception of the base,  Little Birdie handmade wreaths and some TPC Studio metal accents.  I even pulled out my Sizzix Sidekick and cut the lettering for the title.  I'm sharing this LO for the Anything Goes challenge #94 over at Cardz TV and challenge #36 over at Love to Scrap.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll return soon.

CIU #179 - Critters


Hello and happy Friday, another hot day here in the Commonwealth.  Today's project share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #179 is Critters and our sponsor is Kitten Scraps.

This is one of those projects where I struggled, way too much going on and I feel like I need to step up my game.  I colored the frog from our sponsor with color pencils, used sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Skerches #513 and paper from the Bella Blvd Make Your Mark 6x8 paper pad.  Finished the card by adding some ribbon and a Paper Studio heart gem.

I hope you will stop by the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration and join us for our Critters challenge for a chance to win a prize from Kitten Scraps. The challenge starts today and end on Wednesday, August 7,  2019 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a great weekend.

HS Academy


Hello and happy Wednesday, another hot day but not as hot as it has been.  Today's project share is another completed LO for Baby Girl's high school album using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap #181.  I used pictures from the culminating event of the VCU Health Science Academy, she was one of the participants during her 10th grade school year.  The papers came from the Authentique Accomplished 12x12 paper pad, Recollections embellishments and I cut the title using my label maker and the Cricut Creative Memories This & That cartridge.  She leaves in a few weeks and I am sad to say I won't have this album done, busy creating more memories to scrap!

Thank you for your visit,  I hope you'll return again soon!

Canvas Project


Hello and happy hot Monday,  with a forecast for storms this afternoon.  I am so looking forward to some cooler temps this week.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share a canvas project that I made as part of a graduation gift.  I used vinyl to cut the wording and used the Cricut Graduation cartridge to cut the caps.  I see more canvas projects in my future, just need to master using more than one color of vinyl.  I am sharing this for the Bitten by the Bug 2 anything but a card challenge.

Thank you for your visit, try to stay cool in this extreme heat.  I hope you'll return again soon!
