Thank You

Hello and happy Wednesday, its so cold outside and I don't feel like doing what I need to do!  Today I am doing a quick driveby afternoon share, I made this card for one of the challenges for an online crop hosted on FB by Sketch N Scrap.  I used papers and flowers from a prize package that I won so I am not sure of the company or the name of the paper pad.  I cut the sentiment using the Sizzix Celebrate Thinlit dies, the tag is one that had been previously cut so I just covered it with more paper.  Some twine and dimensional tape for the tag and this card was done!  I'm sharing this card for challenge #349 -  thank you challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas.  Take care and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, I hope you are enjoying time with family and friends.  I am sitting here having some downtime and decided to share.  I am feeling so blessed as I had a surprise visit from my son which is just what I needed.  Today I am sharing my holiday wreath, it is actually a redo of one that I has previously done.  I decided to remove the lights and add the acorns and silver berries.  I am sharing this for challenge #434, which is their annual Anything Goes Challenge over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you will return soon.

Happy Birthday Danita

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today's card is one that I created for another one of my  crafting BFFs, you can see her wonderful projects on her blog  Danita's Designs.  Another one of my signature simple cards,  it has gone postal and I hope it makes it to her today!  I am also happy to report that I used my Spellbinders cupcake die for the first time, it had 't been in my stash as long as the tree die!   I used paper from the My Minds Eye Paris & Co 6x6 paper pad, Recollections glittered and foil paper, an unbranded stamp for the sentiment and a border punch and this card was done.  Take care and let the weekend fun begin!

Happy Holiday Season

Hello and happy Thursday before Christmas. The forecast calls for the possibility of rain within the next few days.  Today I am sharing another holiday card using skerch inspiration from  Stick it Down. The tree die is one that I purchased last year from TM but never used it, the  wall embossing folder is one of my favorite folders, the gifts were cut with my Cricut and the sentiment is from a Fun Stampers Journey set gifted to me by one of my BFFs Felisa.  I am also sharinng this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #26 over at  Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you will return soon.

Holiday Greetings

Hello and happy Wednesday,  just doing a quick driveby share as my goal is to get to work a little early today!  Today's holiday card uses paper from an old K&Company  designer mat pad by Elizabeth Brownd and I used the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge for the ornament.  Can you tell that I heat embossed the sentiment?  I am sharing this card for Challenge #348 - Holiday over at  DIe Cuttin' Divas.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful Wednesday.

Hello Monday

It's Monday one week until Christmas and I'm still sharing holiday cards.  Warmer temps in the forecast for today so I think I'll leave work a few hours early.  On today's card, I used a window die cut that I colored with some distress ink, I cut the tree and snowflakes from the Joys of the Season and Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridges.   I added some stickles to the tree and used glittered card stock for the snowflakes.  I'm sharing this card for the snowflake card challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  Take care and have a marvelous Monday!

Sunday Musings

Hello and happy Sunday, I meant to post yesterday but as time would have it I didn't.  I was busy all day doing nothing, now I must  busy myself doing things  today that I should have done yesterday so I can be ready for work tomorrow!  I am almost done with my holiday cards so they will be going postal tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.  Today I am sharing a card that I created for the FB card angel group for a sick child that loves trains.  I used misc paper scraps from my stash, my SLICE for the train, a punch for the stars added a sentiment and the card was done!  Sharing it for the Anything Goes Challenge #25 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit, hope you have a wonderful week.

Celebrate the Season

Hello Monday, it's cold outside so that means limited outside time.  This is the last full week of school for my daughter which means the start of winter break but we still have lots to do.  Today's card was created using sketch inspiration from sketch #111 from Sketch N Scrap, paper from the Recollections Sugar Plum 6x6 paper pad, EK Success border punch and a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment.  I really need to try to finish my cards this week so I can get them in the mail this weekend. I'm also sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #25 over at Cardz TV.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful week.

Sunday Musings

Hello and happy Sunday, doing another quick driveby post.  We had some weekend snow so there are still some closings today.   My daughter and I went out yesterday to a planning meet-up at the library and then spent some time with my MIL.  I ran out to JoAnns last night to find out they had closed early because the snow which was not the case with other stores!  Today I am sharing a card created using sketch inspiration with a twist from  Clean & Simple Stamping.  I used papers and bits and pieces from the Simple Stories Classic Christmas collection; I picked them up fromTuesday Morning after seeing a YT video.  I am not sure the picture comes the card justice.  Thank you for your visit, I hope you will visit again soon.

Believe

Hello and happy Friday, all is a buzz about some snow that may be coming out way!  I'm not even thinking about it and I surely hope that it is not true.  Today I am sharing a card that I created using inspiration from sketch #241 over at Atlantic Hearts.  I used another sheet of pattern paper from the Hot Cocoa pad, heat embossed the sentiment which is another stamp from the CAS-ual Fridays Christmas Carols set and the die cut from the Teresa Collins December 25 Cricut cartridge.  I'm also sharing this card for the woodgrain challenge over at Use Your Stuff.  Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Warmest Wishes

Hello and happy Thursday, cold outside and the forecast calls for some winter mix this weekend.  Today I am sharing another holiday card created using sketch inspiration from  Freshly Made Sketches #316.  The glittered cardstock is some that has been in my stash for a while, I think it is from Studio G.  The snowflake patter paper is another sheet from the American Crafts Hot Cocoa paper pad, added a few Studio G gems and some Wink a Stellar (which is barely visible) and a stamped sentiment and this card was done!  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #24 over at Cardz TV and challenge #104 - Winter Wonderland over at Love to Scrap Challenge Blog.  Take care, stay warm and come back again soon!

JOY

Hello and happy Tuesday, doing another driveby post as there is always something to do.  Today's card is one that I am sharing for the Christmas song challenge over at Cut it Up.  It is another signature simple but it is one that I really like.  I used  sheet  music for the pattern paper/background, added the word JOY with dimensions and this card was done.  I used the Winter Wonderland Cricut cartridge to cut the word joy with some gold and red glittered paper.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #24 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you for your visit, hope you will come back again soon.

Joy to the World

Good evening, I am back today for my second post as I made several cards over the weekend and I wanted to share them before I get too busy!  The sketch inspiration for this card came from Tuesday Morning Sketches #341 and the papers are from the Doodlebug Santa Express pad, I just may finish this paper pad this year!  The lace washi is some that I've had in my stack for a while along with the Recollections pearls.  The sentiment is from the CAS-ual Fridays Christmas Carols stamp set, stamped with gold Delicata ink.  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #23 over at Cardz TV.  Take care and I hope you'll visit again soon.

Merry & Bright

Hello Sunday, cool temps this morning and I am doing a driveby post.  Today I am sharing a card that I started last Sunday and didn't finish until right at midnight last night.  I don't know why I started and finished others before this one!  Sketch inspiration for this card came from the  Fall to Layout #44 from Clean & Simple Stamping.  I used more paper from the Doodlebug Santa Express paper pad,  die cuts from the Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge,  and some ribbon.  The sentiment used is one of the stamps from the CTMH Artfully Sent set.  I hope you will come back again soon, wishing you and yours a wonderful week.

Thinking of You

Hello again, can you believe it two posts in one day!   I really need to crank out some LOs as I will be lucky if I make the half way point of my challenge and I certainly won't complete the card challenge either.  Oh well there's always next year!  Today's card was created using pattern paper that I received as a gift, so I don't know any specifics, the flowers were cut using the Silhouette cameo (I really need to use it more often).   I am sharing this card for sketch #350 from Try Stampin' on Tuesday  and the Thinking of You challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon.
