Joy

 

Hello Saturday, nice temps in today’s forecast so I plan to get out to do some food shopping.  I am doing a quick drive by post to share another holiday card that turned out nothing like how I original planned!  I used a Sizzix TH Alterations embossing folder, a cut apart from the Pink Paislee Snow Village 12 x 12 paper pad and a sentiment die cut using my SLICE machine.  I am sharing this card for the embossing challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters. Although the end result was different from the original plan I still like it and it will be going postal soon!

Thank you for your visit, hurry back and stay safe! 

Hello Weekend

 Let the weekend begin as we prepare for next week’s Thanksgiving Holiday!  Nice temps in the forecast for the next few days so I hope to get some walking in.  Today’s project share is another holiday card created using some dies that I picked up during one of the sales at The Scrapping Cottage.  I used kraft card stock for the base, a piece of black and white plaid paper from the Recollections Christmas plaids paper pad and an unbranded die for the snowflakes.  I am sharing this card for the tic-tac-toe challenge over at Shopping Our Stash #433, I used the top row across (plaid, black&white and kraft) and the Anything Goes challenge #128 over at Cardz TV.

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

Hello Monday

 

Hello Monday, I started this post yesterday and I didn't finish it so here it goes for today!   Mild Fall temps in today's forecast and happy Sunday, windy, mild temps and rain in today’s forecast.  Today’s card share is one that was made using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap  card sketch #181, mostly scraps of paper,  the pattern papers are from a Love Nicole 6x6 paper pad.  The dot embossing folder is a Cuttlebug folder, a CTMH stamp for the sentiment and the squirrel  cut from the Cricut Create-a-Critter 2 cartridge.  I am sharing this card for the Bitten by the Bug 2 Thanksgiving challenge and the Anything Goes challenge #189 over at Always Fun challenges.  I'm done now, need to get these cards in the mail by tomorrow!

Thank you so much for your visit, stay safe and hurry back.

World Kindness Day

 Good afternoon, I am back with another quick post to share another holiday card.   In honor of world kindness day I am sharing a Christmas Joy shaker card! I used sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #580, wood grain paper from Paper Studio, a die set from Tutti Designs.  I looked on their website and notice this particular die set is no longer available, I've had it for several years, it was gifted to me from one of my scrappin' besties! The glittered stars were cut with a Sizzix die and the  shaker mix is from Tuesday Morning.  The weather is overcast so I had a hard time getting a good picture but I do like the card, I might try to take another picture if the sun comes out.  

Thank you for your visit, have a safe and wonderful weekend.

CIU #213 - Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Bold

 Hello Friday, welcome to the weekend; so ready!  Today’s card share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge #213, the theme is Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Bold and the sponsor is CASual Fridays.

When putting my card together I decided to use one of my Unity stamp sets, the color inspiration for the stamp is the Pandora Jewelry store colors; my daughter recently started working there for the holidays. I used some Bella Blvd paper, a CC Designs die, an unbranded stitched die for the sentiment and a few gems. I used colors pencils and some glitter pens to color the stamp.

Head over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Bold project for a change to win a $20 gift certificate from our sponsor. The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, November 25, 2020 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and have a wonderful weekend.

Merry Christmas
