CIU #355 - Something With Wings

 Hello Friday, back today sharing my project for the latest challenge over at the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #355 is Something With Wings.  Trying to step away from what I would normally use I decided to use a flamingo die which went well with the piece of pattern paper that I had recently pulled from a paper pack.  Added a polaroid frame, some leaves, flowers (all cut from different die sets) and a stamped sentiment and this card was done!  

I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge for weeks 750-751.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration. Create and share your Something With Wings project, the challenge starts today and ends Monday, May11, 2026 at noon PST. Don't forget to use a die cu on your project!

Thank you for your visit, enjoy your weekend and I hope you'll visit again soon!

State Fair Fun

 

Happy little Friday,  the last day of the month. I am up doing another drive by post to share a layout that I recently finished. It is an 8 1/2 x 11 layout of my daughter and her little friend at last year’s state fair,. I used my Cricut  to cut the carousel, looking at it now I should have cut it smaller!; oh well it’s done now! I  used  stickers for the title and date and a flyer to cut the sub+title, added a few punched stars and it was done. I am sharing this layout for the Anything Goes challenge #211 over at Crafting Happiness Challenges

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back again soon.

Thinking of You

Hello Tuesday, it has been a while; doing a quick drive by post to share another card. I created this card using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap challenge #296. This is another scrap busting project, where I just pulled random pieces of paper to use on the card. I cut the flower with a Momenta die, and stamped (heat embossed) the sentiment using  a Recollections stamp set. Finished the card by adding some enamel dots, going postal this week! I am sharing this card for challenge #291 over at the Tic Tac Toe challenge blog.  I used the middle column (die cut, wet emboss and layers) 

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

Wednesday Musings

 

Hello Wednesday, where does the time go? This month, this year it’s just passing like a whirlwind! Today’s project share is a card created using mostly random scraps of paper from my stash,  trying to be more intentional about using my scraps. I even used an old textured card base from a box of Hot Buy cards from Michaels, one flower is from Fun Stampers Journey and the two are Paper Studio (spare parts; all items that have been in my stash for a number of years.  Added a few gems and a stamped sentiment and this card was done!

Friday Musings

 

Hello and welcome to the weekend! I am doing a quick drive by post to share another birthday card.  I created this card using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #692.  The patterned pieces of paper came from a Crafters Square paper pack, and the other papers are mostly scraps, the sentiment die is one that I have had for a while, finished the card by adding some sequins! This bright and cheery card will probably be added to my stash until I need a card for a kid.

I haven't had much time to play this week but it's the weekend and I hope to at least get some playtime! Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon.
