Joy & Cheer


 Hello Sunday, the start of a new week; grateful for another chance to do and be better!  Today's card share is one of my Christmas in July projects.  When putting this card together it took lots of turns and a few challenges as I have been working on multiple projects over the holiday weekend.  For this card, I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #636, the tree die and pattern papers are from scrapbook.com, and the sentiment came from a Spellbinders stamp set.  So many goodies that need attention in my stash, still working on my hoarding problem of my paper crafting goodies.

Thank you for your visit, take care and continue to be safe.  I appreciate your visit and comments, hurry back soon!

Happy 4th


 Good evening, doing a quick drive by tpost o share an ATC created for the weekly craftydares challenge hosted over on Instagram.  The dares for this week were:  patriotic, gingham and an artist trading card.  I used papers from the Pebbles Americana  6x6 paper pad, a Jolee sticker and some foam stickers from my stash, and this beauty was done. I'm sharing this project  for the Red, White and Blue challenge #551 over at Shopping Our Stash.

Thank you for your visit, take care and continue to be safe.  I hope you'll stop by again soon.

Wednesday Musings

 


Hello and happy Wednesday evening, today's card share is a friendship card created using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #673.  This card came together quite nicely and it will be going postal soon.  I used random pieces for paper from my stash, a circle punch, a Spellbinders stamp for the sentiment and some butterfly stickers from Crafter's Companion.  I picked the stickers up from a craft yard sale last weekend!  I'm sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday challenge for weeks 706-707, their challenges are always anything goes along as they are family friendly/

CIU #333 - Critters


 Hello Friday and welcome weekend!  It has been extremely hot which makes for a short temper and lack of patience.  Today's project share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme for challenge #333 is critters.  I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #635, papers from a Recollections paper pad, an arch nested die set, some dragonflies that have been sitting on my desk for some time waiting to be used! Used a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment, added some Gina Marie enamel dots and this card was done.

Now that you've seen my project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration. Create and share your critter project using a die cut, the challenge starts today and ends Monday, July7, 2025 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit, stay cool if you're in a heat advisory area.  I hope you'll visit again soon.

Monday Musings


 It's Monday night and time for bed and I am just sharing this post!  Life has really been "lifing" and I am  feeling like we just can't catch a break and to top it off we are under an extreme heat advisory this week.  Today's card share is a clean and simple card created using sketch inspiration from Freshly Made Sketches #691, papers and anchor embellishment from Creative Memories and enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.  I think I'll hold on to this card for a minute because I'm needing a little encouragement myself!

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

The t theme for challenge #332 is masculine and it came together nicely.  I used the postage stamp collage die again, cut it apart and stamped the images and added them to the card with the sentiment and a few gems.  I used a Sizzix alphabet diet set for the sentiment, this card could be used for multiple occasions. I am sharing this card for the June challenge #136 over at Cards Galore
