Monday Musing

Hello and happy Monday, so much to do and so little time!  Today and I am backing sharing my last Christmas in July Card for the month.  It was super easy and quick to make since I used the 1-2-3 method shared by Noreen from Organized and Creative Mom.  I used some Recollections scrap paper, a snowman die cut  that came with a stamp set that I won from Cardz TV,  some K&Co gems and  a stamped sentiment.  Use your Stuff  has a free week so I'm sharing this card!  I like how this super simple card turned out, thank you for stopping by and I hope you'll return soon!

Sunday of Hope

Hello and happy Sunday, woke up with a really bad sinus headache but I must press on.  There is much to do as usual.  I am happy that the sun is shining today as it was raining yesterday but we braved it and did what we had to do.   I am happy to finally be able to share a completed LO, just need to add the journaling.  I have shared other LOs of Sunday's of Hope which is a project supported nationally by my husband's fraternity but this one is different, so many emotions.  All items used have been in my stash for quite sometime,   Thank you for your visit and I hope you too will support the call to make a donation to St Jude Children's Research Hospital.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful week.

It's Your Day

Hello and happy Friday, it has been another hectic week which means I have had almost no time to play.   Today I am sharing another card that I put together for a FB online crop over at Sketch N Scrap.   I sure hope I get to do the LOs before the posting deadline next week.  For this card, I used paper from the Pebbles Garden Party 6x6 paper pad, flowers, gems and stamped sentiment.  I'm sharing this card for the Cardz TV Mailbox Smiles Anything Goes Challenge #7.  Another signature simple card done and ready to go postal.  I will be going back on my no craft spending in August, I have really been off track so I've got to get back to using my stash!  Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hello and happy Monday, I meant to post yesterday but time just got away from me.  After church my daughter and I went to the planner meet-up at Michael's and she got her a new Happy Planner.  Yesterday was Parents Day so I am sharing a card that I made using sketch inspiration from Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge #330. I used papers from the Shimelle True Stories 6x6 paper pad, a Spellbinders die  a diecut from the Cricut Sampler cartridge, wood veneer hearts and a stamp from Art - C.  I am sharing this card for the  Card Crafters Anything Goes Challenge #6 over at Cardz TV.  Thanks for your visit and I hope you will visit again soon.

Thursday Musings

Hello Thursday, another really hot day in our area so minimal outside time is in order.  I was late coming into work again today so I will stay a little later today.  I made dinner and decided I needed a little therapy so I put the card together that I'm sharing today.  I made this card for an online crop that I signed up for on FB; I might not be able to complete all of the challenges.  I used more paper from the Doodlebug Collections Santa Express pad,  a diecut from the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge and more Recollections enamel dots.  I'm sharing this card for the Christmas in July challenges over at Cardz TV and Hiding in my Craft Room.  Take care and have a terrific Thursday!

Happy You Day

Hello and happy Wednesday, more hot weather in the forecast so I'm staying inside!  We are still on our emotional journey so my crafting time is very limited.  I decided to just take sometime this morning and put this card together to help relieve some stress.  Sketch inspiration for the card came from sketch #47 over at Paper Play Sketches, the pattern paper is from the DCWV Teenage Dream Stack.  I cut the shoe with the Nifty Fifties cricut cartridge, the stamped sentiment is from the This and That stamp set from Cardz TV and the enamel dots are from Recollections.  I'm sharing this card for the CardzTV Mailbox Smiles Anything Goes Challenge #6.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll return soon.

Hello and happy Monday, the weekend was extremely busy and this week will be the same.  We have had some extremely hot temps which hasn't made it easy to do anything outside.  Today I am sharing my planner LO for this week, another signature clean and simple project!  I used one of  the Julie Nutting planner stamps (colored her with colored pencils) and a few stickers from one of the Happy Planner sets.  Take care and have a wonderful week.

Holiday Blessings

Hello and happy Friday, the weekend came quick!   I meant to share this card yesterday but our family is going through an emotional journey right now so my play time may be a little hit or miss. Today I am sharing another Christmas card which means I'm on a roll!  Sketch inspiration for this card came from Tuesday Morning Sketches #411, pattern paper from Doodlebug Designs Santa Express, unbranded dies for the bow and the stitched squares and the Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge for the trees.  I'm sharing this card for the Christmas in July Challenges over at Cardz TV and Cut it Up!  Thank you for visit, have a wonderful weekend.

Christmas in July

Hello and happy Tuesday, another really hot day here so I am limiting my inside and outside movement!  I'm back today to share my first Christmas in July card, not sure how many more I will create  but I did manage to finish this one this morning.  I used inspiration from sketch #101 from Sketch-N-Scrap, paper from  the MS Essential Season pad, some twine and the jar punch from EK Success.  I'm sharing this card for the Cardz TV Christmas in July Challenge #1.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back soon.

Hello and happy Sunday, another warm day here in the Commonwealth.  I am back today to share a card that I will be sending to one of my associates  that recently lost her brother.  Sketch inspiration for this card came from Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge #329.  I used pattern paper from the Jillibean Soup Saffron Yellow Pepper Soup 6x6 paper pad, some Recollections pearls and a Prima flower.   The sentiment is from my first unbranded stamp set ordered from China.  I am also sharing this card for Super Scraps Saturday, challenge #308 over at  Hiding in my Craft Room.   Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful week.

Bee Happy

Hello and happy Friday, I'm back today to share another card even though I had hoped to share a LO. One of my scrappy friends  sent me the Darice bees buzzing embossing folder and I decided to use it sooner rather than later.  The sentiment is from the Jillibean Soup Love Bug stamp set and the black gems are from Recollections.  As simple as it is, I like it and I hope you do too!  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes  Challenge #12 over at Love to Craft and the Cardz TV Card Crazy Crafters Anything Goes Challenge #5.  Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Happy, Happy, Happy

Hello and happy Wednesday, I trust that you all had a wonderful holiday.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together using inspiration from challenge #324 July's sketch  over at Die Cuttin' Divas.  I used paper from the Studio Calico Darling Dear 6x6 paper pad, a Spellbinder's die for the oval, a WeR Memory Keepers die for the rose and the sentiment from Cardz TV This 'n' That stamp set.  I'm also sharing this card for the July Anything Goes challenge over at Joy Clair and the Cardz TV Mailbox Smiles Anything Goes challenge #5.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon.
