CIU #181 - Outdoor Fun

Hello and happy Friday,another hot day here in the commonwealth.  Today's project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #181 is Outdoor Fun and the sponsor is the  Cut it Up challenge blog.

For this challenge I created an 8 1/2 x 11 LO for a special album that I will be making for my daughter.  I used  sketch inspiration from  Atlantic Hearts sketch #330 and  misc. scraps of paper with the exception of  the base sheet. The sun was cut using an unbranded die and the sunglasses using the Sizzix Hipster 1 die set.  The scallop edge and the cluster of embellishments came from my stash and I used  some AC Thickers for the title.

Please visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration and share your Summer Fun project for a chance to win. $10 Michael's gift certificate.  The challenge starts today and ends on Wednesday, September 4 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, have a wonderful weekend.

Decision Day

Hello and happy Tuesday, wow it has been a little over a week since my last post.  I started this post yesterday but for some reason I didn't publish it.  I had been extremely busy preparing for Baby Girl's departure and now I will be busy trying to get the house in order before she comes back for a visit!  Today I am sharing another LO for her high school album, when she announced which school she would attend.  My brother-in-law went to JMU so he was happy about her choice and came bearing gifts.  I used mostly scraps of paper, stickers, my Cameo to cut the paw prints and the Cricut Locker Talk cartridge for the pennant. Fast forward to Sunday, I am sharing a picture of the sign that I made for out trip to James Madison University to drop her off!

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a great week.  I hope that I will adjust to my new norm quickly and that I am able to finish my daughter's high school album by family weekend!  

Senior Thesis Presentation

Hello and happy Monday morning, more hot temps with a forecast for rain tomorrow.  I'm back today to share another completed LO for Baby Girl's high school album, she leaves for college on Sunday and of course the album won't be done!  My new goal is to have it done by family weekend in October.  This LO uses pictures taken the day she presented her senior thesis, I used misc. papers from my stash including pattern papers from the Heidi Grace Daydream paper pad, Recollections gems and some stickers. I cut the stars with the Spellbinders Nestabilities star die set and the title cut using the Formal Occasion Cricut cartridge.  I'm sharing this LO for the August Anything Goes  LTCCB #37 and Cardz TV #95.

Thank you for your visit, hope you have a wonderful week and that you'll stop by again soon.

Thank You

Hello and happy Sunday, another warm day here and no rain in the forecast.  Today I am sharing  one of the thank you cards that I made for Baby Girl, she leaves next Sunday I need to have all of her cards finished so she can get them in the mail.  For this card I used sketch inspiration from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #420, paper from the Ki Memories Growing Garden 6x6 paper pad, an unbranded stitched circle die, a CTMH stamp for the sentiment and a few gems.

Take care and have a wonderful week.

Thinking of You

Hello and happy Thursday, heat and the possibility of more rain in today's forecast.  I am back today with another drive by post with a card requested by my daughter when she came in last night.  She wanted a card for a male co-worker who is mourning the loss of a friend.  I used sketch inspiration from the Stick it Down August card sketch.  The pattern paper is from the DCWV Natural 12x12 paper stack, used a MS butterfly punch and a Love Nicole die for the sentiment.  I still struggle when it comes to making cards for males.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return tomorrow as I will be sharing my latest design team project.  Take care.
