CIU #356 - Flowers

 Hello Friday, let the weekend begin! Today's project share is my design team member project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for  challenge #356 is flowers so I reached for two more die sets (flowers and sentiment) from the  2024 Spellbinders Advent Calendar, one of the items that you have in your stash waiting for the right time to use it! This is a true shopping your stash project, the pattern papers are from the American Crafts Cutie Pie paper pad, I  used sketch inspiration from the Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge #681; like when a card comes together as you vision it in your head but I don't like the little pieces in these die sets (maybe that's why they had been tucked away)!

Now that you're seen my flower project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your project using flowers. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, May 25, 2026 at noon PST. Don't forget to use a die on your project.

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

Congrats

 

Hello and happy Wednesday morning doing a quick drive by post to share another card that. I created for another graduate. I used sketch inspiration from the Stick it Down FB group, this card came together nicely, used some Recollections adhesive rhinestones, cut the cap with my Cricut, stamped the sentiment and added some enamel dots! 

I'm sharing this card for the weekly challenge over at Crafting Happiness Challenges #213 - Anything Goes and Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes for Weeks 123-456.

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

Happy Mother's Day

 Hello and happy Sunday and Mother's Day! It has been an emotional day for me as this is the second year I am celebrating as a motherless child. I am sharing a card that I put together this morning using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #297, pattern papers from Paper Studio, used a die set from an old Spellbinders Advent Calendar.  It had been sitting in my stash for a while as I picked up from a yard sale, used my Cricut to cut the sentiment and this card was done!  I still might send it to someone because as mothers we are to be celebrated everyday!

I am sharing this card for the May Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above and the Die Week challenge #822 over at Just Us Girls.

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

So Sweet

 Hello Saturday night, doing a quick drive by post before bed! I started this card last night and finished today using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts   sketch challenge #680, pattern papers from a Draper James 6x8 paper pad. Used the lemon zest die set, a Cottage Cutz Scallop Rectangle set and just one enamel dot for the center of the flower;  used  a CTMH stamp set for the sentiment. Another card done and ready to go postal soon, I really need to work on some layouts!

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

Wednesday Musings

 Hello and happy Wednesday, doing a quick drive by post to share a graduation card that I created for a family friend. I used sketch inspiration from Just Us Girls where this week's challenge #821 was to CASE a design team members project.  I used inspiration from DT member Sue and I flipped the card sketch and added some ink splatters. I used my Cricut to cut all the other elements of the card from three different cartridges. One graduation card done with only two more to be done!

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

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.
