Sunday Musings

Hello Sunday, how goes your weekend, what have you been doing.  As for me I am trying to get this post done before I head out to church, my family and I are worshipping at two different churches today!  Today I am sharing one of the cards that I put together yesterday for the FB card angel group, it will go postal tomorrow to someone being treated for cancer.  I used a WeR Memory Keepers wood grain embossing folder and dies from Crafter's  Companion and Gina Marie; all for the first time.  I decided not to add a sentiment on the front of the card.   I have had a productive crafting weekend but there is more to life than papercrafting!    Take care and have a great week.

Wedding Card

Hello and happy Friday, wishing you and yours a wonderfully blessed weekend.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together last Friday as me and one of my scrapping buddies hung out on google hangout.  I needed a wedding card so I decided to pull out some of the dies that I had purchased recently from Tuesday Morning.  The sketch inspiration came from the WeR Memory Keepers doily heart die packaging, and I also used the banner die set from WeR for the first time!  I cut the heart with my cricut (can't remember which cartridge) and everything else used has been in my stash for a while!

Wednesday Wanderings

Hello and happy hump day, I was out of the office yesterday and was planning to post but as life would have it I didn't get around to it.  I am looking forward to the forecast for some cooler temps.  I am thinking about taking off as I am feeling a little drained.  My daughter came home on Monday asking me to cover one of her composition books and of course I was happy to do it, so today I am sharing what I did for her.  She did give me some guidelines and she was pleased with the way that it turned out. I couldn't get a very good picture!  I used paper from the DCWV  High School paper pad and a piece from the Glittzy pad for the spine (which I may have to change).  I used one of the dies that I ordered off Ebay from China and one from Crafter's Companion which has her name on it.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you will come back again soon!

We Remember

Hello Sunday, today 15 years ago America suffered it's worst act of terror.  Today we pause and pray for the safety of our nation and especially those who serve and their families.  Today I am sharing an encouragement card going to a young person that has just started her armed services enlistment journey.   The  inspiration for this card came from OWH sketch #223, which I have my friend Felisa to thank as this skerch was included in one of her emails to me yesterday.  I used papers from the Colorbok Signature Old Glory paper pad, I cut the star using the CTMH Artiste cricut cartridge.  I am sharing this card for the Super Scraps Saturday challenge #266  over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

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

Friday Musings

It's Friday evening almost night and I am suppose to be playing with one of my friends online.  I wanted to share this card that I put together this afternoon using skerch inspiration from sketch #464 over at Mojo Monday.   I had limited items to play with but I wanted to get this card done for one of my co-workers.   The pattern paper came from the DCWV Indian Summer Fall Stack, I cut the sentiment using the George cricut cartridge and added a few Jolee's dimensional stickers and this card was done.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Wednesday Musings

It's Wednesday the second day of school for baby girl, we woke up to rain and cooler temps!  Today I am sharing the card that my daughter will find when she opens her folder later today.  I used sketch inspiration from  challenge #287 over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday, the optional theme was school days.  This simple sketch and theme was perfect for a surprise inspirational message for our daughter!  I used paper scraps from last year's cards, a Provocraft embossing folder, a TPC  Studio stamp and some Nicole star embellishments.

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

Hello Tuesday

It's the first day of school, the official end of summer vacation!  I am up getting a little "me time" in before I start getting ready for work, I feel asleep last night before sharing this post!  Today I am sharing a LO that I recently completed using pictures taken of our daughter during the closing of the summer program that she attended.  She attended a five week Math Science Investigator program at the University of Richmond.  She worked in a lab and this was the poster presentation of what she learned.  All items used on the LO has been in my stash for a while with the exception of the paper which came from one of my many recent Tuesday Morning purchases.  The paper is from the WeR Memory Keeper Jet Set paper pad.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful week and first day of school for the kids that are starting today!
