Thank You So Much


Hello and happy cloudy Tuesday afternoon, stopping in to do a quick drive by post.  I made this super simple, but cute card for a card challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  I used the swiss dots embossing folder, a CTMH stamp for the sentiment and a  diecut that has been sitting in my stash for a while.  I remember cutting some extras while working on another project.  The flower pot is a cut from the Walk in my Garden Cricut cartridge which is the intentional item from my stash used on this card; I added some wink of stellar to the tulips but you can't see it in the picture. This card will be going postal this week as part of my resolution not to hoard my cards.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back soon!

Dream...then Do


Hello and happy Monday, another mild temperature day in the forecast.  I started this post late last night butI fell asleep before I finished so here I am sharing it this morning!  I feel like I could go back to sleep but I must get ready for work, hoping to get in the office early so I can leave early.  Today’s project share is a card created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #161 and paper from  the My Mind’s Eye A Happy Heart paper pad and a CASual Fridays stamp.  The paper and  stamp are my intentional items for this card, I have just a few more sheets of paper left in the pad  and the plan is to finish using the pad this week!

Thank you for your visit, have a wonderful week.  I hope you’ll return soon.

CIU 191 - Snow Much Fun


Hello and happy Friday and Happy Birthday to me!  Today’s project share is my card for our Snow Much Fun challenge #191 at the Cut it Up  challenge blog and the  sponsor  for this challenge is the Cutting Cafe.

I used the snowman family and the hats/scarves from our sponsor.  The enamel dots, stickles (hard to see) and stamps are my intentional items used from my stash.  The faces are from the Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face set and the  sentiment is from the Cardz TV Snow Day stamp set.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up  challenge blog for more design team inspiration and decide to share your project for a chance to win 3 digital stamp sets from the Cutting Cafe.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at noon EST.

Sharing my snowman family card for the Anything Goes #105 over at Cards TV,  #389 over at Use Your Stuff and #42  at the Love to Craft challenge blog.

Thank you for your visit, hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Christmas 2018


Hello and happy Wednesday, seasonal temps and cloudiness in our area today.   Today's project share is my first LO of the year and it uses pictures taken in December 2018!  I used pattern papers from the  Craftsmart Say Freeze paper pad, a snowman diecut from Cardz TV that came with a stamp set that I won, some Jolee snowflakes and gift box diecuts from the Create-a-Critter 2 Cricut cartridge.  In an effort to use up more of my stash I pulled out some Thickers for the title, I am going to be more intentional about using more of  my stash this year.  I wasn't going to put up a tree but my daughter wanted a snowman tree so I picked up that sad looking tree from the store and it is still sitting in the corner of the dining room!  I'm sharing this LO for the Mystery Bag Challenge #22 over at Soul Scrappers.

Thank you for your visit, hope you'll return soon; I will be sharing my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog on Friday!

Lost Post


Hello and happy first Monday, feeling a little under the weather today.   I've been trying to solve the mystery of what happened to my first Friday post; it looks like I wrote over it so here goes an abbreviated version.  I still have several holiday cards and LOs that I plan to do so stick with me while I try to finish them.  I created this card using paper scraps from a Simple Stories Kit from a few years ago.  I have way too many paper scraps and they just never seem to go away.  The foil strip is a Recollections piece and the enamel dots are from Teresa Collins (I think).  I shared this card on the Cardz TV challenge #105 and the Happy Holidays challenge #410 over at Shopping Our Stash.  Although the previous links are not good I decided not to re-post them!

Take care and have marvelous Monday

Pick 3


Hello and happy rainy, cloudy Saturday, a good day to stay in and play!  Today’s card share is another Christmas card crated for the December Pick 3 challenge over at  Soul Scrappers.  I chose a Christmas/Holiday project, three or more pattern papers and stamping.  The pattern papers used are from the My Mind’s Eye Cozy Christmas 6x6 paper pad, some Recollections red foil paper for layering; stamped the sentiment using a Simple Stories stamp and finished the card off by adding some enamel dots from My Mind’s Eye.  Another card completed for my stash!

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will return soon.

Happy New Year


Hello and Happy 2020, cool temps and clear skies in today’s forecast.  I am doing a quick drive by post to share some cards that I put together this morning, if they look familiar they are the same style as the cards that I did last year but never mailed them.  I used the Cricut Days and Dates cartridge, some Recollections silver foil paper and a Paper Studio stamp for the sentiment.  I only sent out a few Christmas cards so I am hoping to get these cards in the mail within the next two days.  I'm sharing this post for the Bitten by the Bug 2 use a number challenge.

Thank you for your visit and I Hope you’ll return soon.
