Wednesday Musings

Hello and happy Wednesday, it has been over a week since my last post.  I trust that you had a wonderful holiday and hope that you will be tremendously blessed in the new year.  I am preparing for a road trip for a New Year's Eve celebration so I probably won't share again until the weekend.  Today I am sharing a card that I made for my neighbors since I didn't make many Christmas cards.  I used paper from the DCWV Twinkle Glints 6x6 paper pad along with a few embellishments from Jolees.

Take care and be safe.

Happy Birthday Danita

Happy Birthday to Danita, one of my besties!  I am so happy that our paths just happen to cross as we cruised together on the last Provocraft Cricut cruise!  It's your birthday and I hope that your day is filled with as much fun and joy that your heart can hold.  I hope your day is as special as you are to me.  I'm sharing your card here today because it didn't go postal in time to reach you but any day is a good day to receive some "happy mail."   Charge it to my head and not my heart as I had good intentions, I love you!

Take care!

Happy Birthday Paula

Hello and happy Monday, it's me last Minute Molly about to make a fast break to stand in line at the post office!  I am taking a break from sharing holiday cards to share some birthday cards that I made for some of the FB card angels!  Today is Paula's birthday, I hope she'll have lots of fun celebrating and that she'll be blessed with many more years to celebrate her birthday!

Take care, I hope you stop by again soon!

Season's Greettings

Hello and happy Sunday, I am back today to share another holiday.  No my cards haven't gone postal yet but I am hopeful they will go out tomorrow.  Today's card uses paper from the American Craft Kri he and Co. 6x6 pad,  a sticker from Papaer Studio and the sentiment is from the Hampton Art holiday stamp set.  I still have lots to do so I hope to try to schedule some posts for this week as I sprint to finish my holiday preparations.

Take care and have a wonderful day.

Holiday Greetings

It's Thursday and the week is winding down but I'm gearing up for two holiday parties and a flurry of shopping that has to be done!    I'm the type of person that sits down on Christmas Eve evening and wraps gifts and it looks like I'll be doing the same thing this year!  I'm back today to share another holiday card that I put together using paper from the same paper stack from a few days ago.  I really think it is American Crafts, need to confirm that the next time I use a sheet of it.  I cut the tag using my SLICE and the bow is from the cricut CTMH Artiste cartridge and the sentiment is a die cut with my Cuttlebug.

Take care and enjoy your day!

Whatever Wednesday

It's a whirlwind Wednesday for me but I'm just taking it all in stride.  Two more days of school, can't wait because I'm feeling like why make all of these pressing papers and projects due just before the holiday.  We have cooler temps today with the forecast for rain tomorrow,  I'm still on a cardmaking roll but I had to switch gears a bit today's card is a birthday card  This card is going postal to one of the card angels from our Facebook group, following with my clean and simple style it is ready for the mail!   I had a hard time getting a good picture, I think it may be the shimmery paper but I am pleased with the outcome.  The cupcake is a sticker from a Martha Stewart pack that I received as a thank you gift for a recent purchase.  I have a few more birthday cards for this month so I'll probably use more stickers from the pack; proud of myself for using them right away and not hoarding them!

Take care and have wonderful Wednesday.

Tuesday Musings

Yes, call me last minute Molly but it looks like I won't be able to finish my holiday cards.  As simple as my cards are it still takes me a long time to make/put them together.  So I am planning to just use a picture of us taken on Thanksgiving day on my holiday cards!  So today I am sharing one of the cards that I did manage to finish so I'll be sending some handmade cards!  I can't remember which 6x6 paper pad I used, the tree is a stamp from one set and sentiment from another, colored the star and added a few epoxy stickers and the card was done!

Take care and have a wonderful day.

BE Happy

It's Thursday one more day until the weekend; mild temps outside and even warmer temps for the weekend.  I am back today sharing another card for the card group,  an encouragement card going postal tomorrow or Saturday.  The sketch inspiration for the card came from sketch #98 over at Can You Case It?   I used pattern paper from a Momenta pad, my SLICE to cut the tag, some ribbon and the little butterfly is a Recollections sticker.  I also used my little American Crafts stapler for the first time, I picked t up from Tuesday Morning on clearance earlier this year!

Take care and have a terrific Thursday!

Wednesday Musing

Hello and happy Wednesday!  I am back today to share another card created for the FB card group,  I used pattern paper from the Teresa Collins 6x6 Urban Market paper pad, a flower and pearl from Recollections and stamp from Pink Bow Ties  I am trying to catch up on these cards so I can get my holiday cards made and in the mail by the end of next week.  I sure hope I can do it as I failed to meet my goal for Thanksgiving so most everyone got their cards the Friday after!

Take care and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Monday Musings

Hello and happy Monday, I can't believe I shared shared since last Wednesday!  I made some cards last week that went postal on Saturday but I didn't take the time to create a post for them.  I'm still hoping I can get some time in soon to work on my LOs.  We had a fun weekend as our daughter went to her first high school homecoming dance and my DH and I went to another event on the same evening.  December is a busy month so I'll be putting in overtime getting ready for everything. Today I am sharing another card created for the FB group, going postal later today.  I can't remember the company or name of the paper that I used but it is a 6x6 pad that I picked up from Tuesday Morning earlier this year.  The stamp is from the card group stamp from Pink Bow Ties, a MS butterfly punch and some Recollections pearls.

Take care and enjoy your week!

Tall and Skinny

It is turning out to be a really busy week trying to finish getting ready for this weekend.  I also had another not so restful night, it is actually 3:30 am and I am awake working on this post.  I am back today to share a style of the card that I have been meaning to try for some time, the inspiration came from this week's Mojo Monday sketch #426.  I cut the base at 6x7 and scored it at 3.5 so that means I'll make an envelope too.  I used papers from the Heidi Swapp Favorite Things 6x6 paper pad with a flower from Recollections and  a Pink Bow Ties stamp.   I am so proud to have finished another card going postal with the next few days.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Wednesday!

Tuesday Musings

It's raining here again today and I want to be in the bed asleep.  My DH has a job where he basically works 24 hours a day so when the phone rang at 2 AM this morning and after chatting with the person on the phone, he finally told them he was on his way.  So for me that meant I was awaken and couldn't get back to a deep sleep until hours later he called to wake me up because he was on his way back home.

 I was going to share another card that I made for the FB group but instead I am sharing a picture that we took on Thanksgiving Day.  I am so looking forward to scrapping the pictures that we took during the Thanksgiving holiday.  We had 35 family people, mostly family with a few friends that came to Richmond, Virginia from Ohio, Georgia, Louisiana, Illinois, Maryland, Rhode Island, Spain and from Fredericksburg, Hampton and Norfolk here in Virginia.

Take care.
