Boo

Hello Tuesday and Happy Halloween!  Today I am sharing a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Paper Play Sketches  and die cuts from Gina Marie and the Mini Monsters cricut cartridge.  I borrowed this cartridge from the school at my job, Halloween is the secretary's favorite holiday, she even takes the whole week off.  The piece of pattern paper is from Pebbles and it was leftover from some cards I made two years ago.  I am sharing this card for the Halloween challenges over at Use Your Stuff and  Always Fun Challenges.   I hope you will visit again soon.

Hello and happy Monday, we had lots of rain yesterday but we have cool temps and clear skies this morning.  I am back today to share a LO created using sketch inspiration from the Double Delight Sketch challenge from Soul Scrappers.  I had these pictures from an impromptu 50th birthday celebration for my husband so I decided to go ahead and scrap them.  The burgundy paper has a faint pattern and it came from some papers that I purchased from Costco some years ago.  I'm thinking I probably should have used a red patter paper instead.  The stripped strip of paper came from some scraps from one of the DCWV stacks.  I used a Heidi Swapp sticker for the title, enamel dots and the balloons were cut using the CTMH Artiste cricut cartridge.  I have mixed feelings about the paper but I'm glad that I finally took the time to document the memory.  Take care and have a marvelous Monday.

Happy Halloween

Hello Saturday, cool temps but sunny outside today.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Operation Write Home after watching a video from craftwithte last Friday.  I usually don't make Halloween cards but decided to make this one for several challenges.  I used pattern paper for the MS Essentials paper pad, the Mini Monsters cricut cartridge, some Recollections glittered tape and a CTMH stamp for the sentiment.  I am sharing this card for Challenge #340 - Halloween over at  DIe Cuttin' Divas and the Any Holiday Challenge #324 over at  Hiding in My Craft Room.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

You Inspire Me

Hello and welcome to the weekend, cool temps and rain in the forecast for Sunday.  Today I am sharing my final card created using a sketch from the Fall Fun Crop hosted by Sketch N Scrap on FB.  I used more pattern paper, the sentiment and gems from a breast cancer kit from Me & My Big Ideas.  I cut the ribbon using a glittered piece of paper from my arsenal of paper scraps.  I am sharing this card for the Think Pink challenge over at  CAS-ual Fridays and the Anything Goes Challenge #18 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you will return soon.

Hello and happy Wednesday, another nice Fall day here in our area.  I quickly became bored with the one sheet wonder process but I still plan to share at least five more of the cards that I created using that process.  I usually use sketches for my cards and LOs and I am always looking for ways to use paper scraps and stick to my clean and simple style.  I really need to get my Thanksgiving cards done and some LOs.  Today I am sharing a card that I created for the Fall Fun Crop hosted by Sketch N Scrap on their FB page, I originally hoped to share all of the cards created for that crop together in one post but I'm not sure I will get the last one done.   When putting this card together I used most everything from the Simple Stores Hello Fall kit with the exception of the heart (ruined the one that came with the kit) that I cut with the Beyond Birthdays cricut cartridge and the gems placed in the center of the flowers.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday.

You Are Amazing

Hello and happy Monday, we have rain in the forecast sometime in the next few days.  I had a really productive weekend as I was able to complete several cards so I should have my blog posts covered for this week.  Today I am sharing a card using sketch inspiration from sketch #2 from the World Card Making Day monthly challenge over at Sketch N Scrap.   I used papers from the My Mind's Eye Honey  Cake 6x6 paper pad, a Recollections sentiment stamp, a border punch,  a flower cut with my SLICE machine and a button; all from my stash.  I am also sharing this card for the button challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas.   Take care and have a marvelous Monday!

Hello and happy Sunday another nice weather day in the forecast!  I am back today to share a card that I put together using a die that I received as a birthday gift from one of my scrappin BFFs.  So I used the Tutti Designs snow globe die for the first time, pulled out my fuse tool to make the shaker and even used one of my many embossing folders.  Everything used to make this card has been in my stash for a while!   I am sharing this card for the Shaker Card Challenge over at Cut it Up and the Anything Goes Challenge #17 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful week.

Friday Musings

Hello and happy Friday, another cool Fall morning with warm temps in the forecast for the weekend.  I'm hoping for some downtime but I do have several things on my calendar including the monthly planning event at Michael's on Sunday afternoon.  Today I am sharing another thank you card using sketch inspiration from Clean & Simple Stamping and  papers from the Simple Stories Hello Fall Kit.  The sentiment stamp is from a Fiskars set that I picked up from JoAnn's on clearance over the the Summer.  I am sharing this card for the Cardz TV Anything Goes challenge #17 and the Use Orange challenge #284 over at Use Your Stuff.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hello

It's Wednesday afternoon, cool temps outside but warm inside.  I'm back today with another installment of my One Sheet Wonder Cards.  As I mentioned previously I made a total of 20 cards so I still have 10 more to share after today's post.  I didn't add any embellishments with these,  I just added some glimmer mist to the base and added a stamped or die cut sentiment.  I cut the hello with the butterfly using the Lyrical Letters cricut cartridge and I used some gold Smooch to color the butterfly and the other hello die was from Crafter's Companion.  Take care and I hope you'll come back again soon.

Feel Better Soon

Hello Tuesday, mild temps and no rain in the forecast.  Today I am sharing a get well card using inspiration from sketch #107 over at  Sketch N Scrap.  I used paper scraps from the My Mind's Eye Happier 6x6 paper pad, a CTMH stamp gifted to me Felisa (one of my scrappin' besties) and some Echo Park enamel dots.  I made this card for one of my co-workers who recently had surgery.  I'm sharing this card for the Cardz TV Anything Goes Challenge #16 and the Super Scraps Saturday Challenge #322 over at Hiding in My Craft Room.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back tomorrow for another card share from my One Sheet Wonder project.

Thank You

Hello Monday, it is almost 2:00 in the morning and everyone in the house is awake.  So I decided to share a project that I worked on over the weekend.  One of my friends sent me a video last week with the one of the One Sheet Wonder card templates so I decided to try it.  There are different variations of the same concept on YT.  I used one sheet of  pattern paper, stamps, die cuts and misc. embellishments from my stash.  This project used note cards smaller than the normal A2 size cards, I made twenty cards.  Take care and have a wonderful week.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Hello and happy Friday, more rain in the forecast; not sure whether it's enough to help with the low levels.  Today's card is one that I put together for breast cancer awareness month using sketch #243 from CAS(E).  I used scraps of paper from my stash, added some glimmer mist to the card base, cut the ribbon with my SLICE machine and the CTMH cricut cartridge to cut the sentiment.  I am sharing this card for the breast cancer awareness challenges over at Cut it Up and Use Your Stuff.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Sweet 16

Hello and happy Thursday,  more rain in the forecast for today.  Today's project share is a LO using sketch inspiration from the sketch #138 over at  Sketch N Scrap.  I love how this LO came out and I am happy to report it marks my 20th LO of the year but I still have 32 more to complete by the end of the year. I am even further behind on my card challenge but I'm just going to keep pushing.  The papers used on the LO came from the DCWV Elegant & Serene hot buy pad, I cut the title using my SLICE machine, used a WeR Memory Keepers die for the doily, and the jean flowers are from Recollections and Nicole.  Thank you for your visit, please come again soon.

Best Wishes

World Card Making Day

Hello and happy Sunday, I was so busy trying to create yesterday that I didn't take the time to post.  I was up into the wee hours of the morning on google hangout with one of my scrappin BFFs.   I ended my day by finishing four signature simple cards but she did manage to get more cards done!  Today I am sharing a card that I created using this month's sketch over at Die Cuttin' Divas.  I used more paper from the Jillibean Saffron Yellow Pepper Soup  paper pad, the umbrella die from the April Showers  cricut cartridge, a stamped sentiment from the Cardz TV   Blessings set and some enamel dots.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back soon.

Hello and happy Thursday, wow where has the week gone?  I have been trying to post but as life would have it just too much going on!  Today I am sharing a card that I created using Fall to Layout - 36  from Clean & Simple Stamping.  I just used misc papers from my stash,  a Cardz TV sentiment stamp and the western sunshine die from in'spire by Spellbinders.  I made this card for the salesperson that works at the local girl scout store as she has been so helpful and generous with her time that I wanted to gift her a small token for her help.  I'll also share this card for the Anything Goes challenge #15 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back soon!
