Saturday Musings

 Hello Saturday, stopping in to share a Fall card created using Freshly Made Sketches  #573 for inspiration. I am still pairing random papers with scrap pierces from my stash as I am working on using unused or less used items from my stash! I used a TH Sizzix Wood Slices die set, finished by adding some Simple Stories enamel dots.  I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge for weeks #768-769.

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

Happy Thoughts

 Doing a quick drive by post to share another recently created card.  I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts  challenge #698, more papers from my scrap stash with some pattern paper pieces from My Minds Eye Hootenanny 6x6 paper pad. Cut the flowers from one of the Spellbinders die sets, a stamped sentiment from Hampton Arts; finished by adding a few gems and a bow tied within some twine. I am sharing this card for the September Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above.

Thank you so much for your visit, continue to be safe. I hope you will visit again soon

Tuesday Musings

 Well I started this post last night and never finished , I am doing a drive by post so I can get moving toward getting out of the house this morning! I have  mixed feelings about this card as I haven’t really been in a creative mood lately and it seems my “crafting mojo’ may be on vacation! Today”s card was created using sketch inspiration from Freshly Made Skerches challenge #752. I used more papers from my scrap stash, a wreath die,  a bow die, a stamped  sentiment and a few gems. I hope this week brings me some renewed energy!

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

Hello Tuesday doing a drive by post before  work as I actually started this post on Sunday and as life would have it I didn’t finish it! I created this card using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #702. I used a Spellbinders die set for the balloons, random papers from my stash including a pattern sheet from Bazzill  School Days. Stamped the sentiment using white pigment ink and a Crafter's Square stamp.

CIU #363 - Moving Along

 Hello Friday, sharing my project for the Cut it Up challenge blog. The theme for challenge #363 is Moving Along (Transportation).

This card contains a mix of old and new to my stash items.  The paper and sticker used for the sentiment were purchases from this year. 

I am sharing this card for the Word Art Wednesday challenge for weeks #766-767.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your transportation themed project using a die. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, August 31, 2026 at noon PST.

Happy Birthday Rachelle

 

Hello and happy Sunday doing a drive by post to share a card that I created for one of my crafting friends. I am not sure why but I almost forgot so she'll be getting her card late. I created the envelope shaped card using the Spellbinders Envelope of Wonder die set.  l used a MS punch for the butterflies and added gems to some of the flowers and stamped the sentiment. This is one of those sets that requires time and patience; not sure when I will use it again! 

I shared this card over on IG for a shaped  card challenge and for the Tic Tac Toe challenge #299. I used the right diagonal row (insects, gems, free).

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