Happy Love Day

Hello and Happy Love Day, doing a quick drive by post sharing a card that I created earlier this week.  Actually I have been trying to post for a few days but as life would have I just didn't get around to getting it done.  I didn't follow a sketch, just used some papers from a Honey Bee Stamps paper  pad, some mini envelope die cuts and a heart die cut for the sentiment.  Finished by adding some enamel hearts and a heat embossed sentiment using a Sizzix stamp.

I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge for weeks 738-739 over at Word Art Wednesday and the Just Us Girls  challenge #810 -  Word Week - Valentines.

Thank you for your visit, take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend. I hope you will visit again soon.

Hello Monday

 

Hello and happy Monday, the winter chills are still in full force. Doing a quick drive by post to share a birthday card created using a a Stamp Market cover plate die, ink blended the letters and  placed them back into the insert.  I used a Sizzix die for the word happy, added a balloon die cut and finished by adding some diamond dots! Trying to add more male themed cards to my stash!

CIU #349 - Makes Me Happy

 

Hello and happy Friday, here to share my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #349 is This Makes me Happy. I decided to create a layout using some pictures of me, my children and my dad  taken after the celebration of my mom's life service last year.  Family is all we have and anytime I spend with my family is usually happy even though it may not be a happy occasion. We are coming up on a year and it is still hard, I know that there is no time limits related to grief so I try not to dwell on the loss.

When I created my layout I used miscellaneous papers from various paper pada or packages.  I used two different die sets to cut the hearts and my Cricut to cut the word family, used some Echo Park stickers for the word love,  added some Prima flowers and a few gems and this layout was done.  I had a hard time getting a good picture. I am sharing this layout for the Anything Goes challenge #177 over at Love to Scrap.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration.  Create and share your project using a die and the theme, the challenge starts today ands Monday, February 16, 2026 at noon PST.

Sending Love

 

Hello Saturday morning, doing a quick drive by post as I don’t want to forget. We are expecting  more Winter weather so I plan to stay in most of the weekend. Today’s card share used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #666, pattern papers from Hone Bee Stamps, a Spellbinders Deckled Rectangle set, and a Coco and Reno envelope die for the envelope. Finished by using  a cut apart for the sentiment and a tiny Bo Bunny enamel heart.  This card came together nicely and I plan to get it along with some other cards in the mail soon! I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash challenge #566 - Love Me Do.

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

Thursday Musings

 Hello Thursday, I am so over this Winter weather. The icee won’t melt so it is making for dangerous driving conditions and fall risks. Today I am sharing a card that I created for one of the nurses that won a daisy award. She won it because one of the patients parents was impressed with the level of care she provided. I put the card together using a stamp and die set,  paper from a scrapbook.com paper  pad,  and a Spellbinders die for the sentiment. Finished by adding some CTMH sequins and it was done. I am sharing this card over at A Cut Above for their Anything Goes monthly challenge and the January Anything Goes challenge over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.

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

Hello Friend

 It’s Saturday morning and we are still on a major storm watch, praying that it is not as bad as they are predicting! Anxiety level moderate to high so that’s why I am crafting while I still can. Today’s card share was created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #665, random papers mostly from an old Kiwi Lane card class kit. Cut the Spellbinders butterfly using some glitter paper, the greenery came from a Sizzix wreath die, a Crafter’s Companion hexagon die, some gems and a TH label sticker for the sentiment. This was clearly a shopping my stash project! I have a wish list but I have no plans to buy any crafting goodies aside for adhesive!

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and hurry back again soon.
