Thinking of You

 Hello and happy Monday,  I am headed back into the office today but looking forward to a short work week.  Today’s project share is a card created using sketch inspiration from Try Stampin on Tuesday #487. I used pattern papers from the My Mind’s Eye In the Blink of an Eye 6x6 paper pad, Crafter’s Companion edge punch, a Paper Studio stamp added a few Hero Arts gems and this card was done! I am sharing this card for the Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #586 - Anything Goes and  the Cardz TV challenge #130 - Anything Goes.  Another card done and going postal today!

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back!

Saturday Musings

 Hello Saturday, started this post yesterday but I didn’t have a chance to finish. I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday as mine was good considering.  Thankful for the birth of Christ, the real meaning of the holiday. Today’s quick card share is one of the last holiday cards that I put together, daughter needed one for one of her male friends.  This card uses sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #184, papers from the Recollections Cozy Lodge 6x6 paper pad, a Hampton Art stamp and die set for the tree and a  Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment. 

Thank you for your visit, continue to stay safe as you celebrate.

Monday Musings

 Hello and happy Monday, I started this post yesterday and realized I never posted so here goes! I am not really in the holiday mood but life goes on and there are things to be done. The rain yesterday made for laziness and more procrastination so that meansI will be extra busy for the next few days in addition to working. Today’s card share uses sketch inspiration from Try Stampin on Tuesday sketch #486.  This signature simple card show cases papers and stickers from the Doodlebug Design Santa Express 6x6 paper pad.  I love hot chocolate so I couldn’t let those stickers go to the donate pile as I am almost done with the paper pad so I might not make another card using it! Although I didn’t add a sentiment to the front I added  a few gems for some sparkly!  I am making one last trip to the post office today hoping that my last few cards will get to their destination by Christmas Eve!  I will need to make a few New Years and thank you cards this week.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and enjoy your holiday.

Love & Joy

 Hello and happy cold, thankful Thursday. I am doing a quick drive by post to share another holiday card, getting down to the wire; I just realized that Christmas is just a week away.  Today’s card using sketch inspiration from Fab Friday sketch #203.  I just used miscellaneous scraps of paper from recent projects, a Hampton Arts Clearly Kelly stamp for the sentiment, a penguin die cut from Cardz TV and some gems. Another card done and ready to go postal! I am sharing this card for challenge #193 - Polar Bears/Penguins over at Always Fun challenges and Anything Goes challenge #129 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back.

Rainy Monday

Hello cold and rainy Monday.  I guess I'll have to go for a walk in the mail once I get off work since I wasn't able to get out for lunch! Today's card share is one that I put together for a sketch challenge on one of the FB groups. I used a sheet of pattern paper from the AC Hot Cocoa 6x6 paper pad, a TH tag die which I embossed with a dot embossing folder, a Sizzix die for the cups, a Cottage Cutz die for the bow and a CTMH stamp for the sentiment.  I finished the card off by adding an enamel dot to the middle of the bow.  Another card done and almost ready to go postal for the assisted living center.  I am sharing this card for the December Anything Goes challenge over at Die Cut Divas.

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

CIU #215 - Tic Tag Toe

 Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today's project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up Challenge blog, the sponsor for challenge #215 is DRS Designs.  We were charged with creating a tag using the following  Tic Tag Toe  board for inspiration:

This is one of those projects that I struggled with because I was finding it hard to bring the picture in my head to the paper. Early on I had selected the star wreath stamp from our sponsor, not sure but for some reason I like wreaths.  I just colored the digital stamp with my color pencil, inked the tag background with a stencil, I used the Joys of the Season cartridge for the bells and the Winter Woodland cartridge for the word Joy which I cut 6 times for some added dimension.; finished it off by adding some red ribbon! I'm sharing this tag for the Bitten by the Bug 2 Die-lirious Holiday Season challenge and The Sisterhood of Crafters Anything Goes Christmas/Winter.

Now that you've seen my tag, I hope you will head on over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your project that includes a tag, a die and elements from the tic-tag-toe board for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate from DRS Designs. The challenge starts today and ends, Wednesday, December 23 at noon EST.

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