Celebrate

Hello and happy New Year's Eve, mild temps and rain in our area.  Today I am sharing a card that can easily be mass produced to share with family and friends.  Inspiration to create this card came after I watched Tracy's video, she is one of the designers on May May Made It blog.  On this card I used glittered card stock for the year but on my other cards I used some Making Memories Slice metallic paper, I cut the year using the Days and Dates Cricut cartridge, a Pink & Main Stitched Rectangle die for the layer and a stamped sentiment. I'm sharing this card for challenge #91 over at Always Fun Challenges.  I almost made my daily posting challenge for December only missed three days!

Thank you for your visit, be safe and enjoy if you're going out tonight.  I hope you'll come back again soon!

Hello and happy Friday, mild temps and rain in today's forecast.  Today I am sharing my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge #164 and our sponsor for this challenge is Kitten Scraps.

Designs half rectangle die, some Queen & Co. Jellies and a sentiment from the  Favorite Phrases  Cardz TV stamp set.

Now that you've seen my card I hope you'll head on over to the Cut it Up challenge blog and see what the other designers created and join the challenge by sharing your New Years Resolution project for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate from Kitten Scraps.  The challenge starts today and ends at noon on Wednesday, January 9, 2019.  Don't forget your project must include the use of a die.

Hello and happy Thursday, two hour school delay this morning and cloudy skies in our area today. Speaking of school I'm sharing another LO created for one of Baby Girl's albums.  I am trying to complete at least five more LOs by the end of the year.  This LO uses sketch inspiration from one of the challenges from the Merry & Bright online crop hosted on FB by Sketch N Scrap.  Most of the papers used came from an old paper pad that I picked up in TM a few years ago.  I struggled with the LO sketch but I think that it came out fine, I tried to pull some of the colors from both of their clothing.  The base of the LO has embossed dots, I cut the stitched circles for the title using an unbranded die set, used Love Nicole letter dies, painted the butterfly and added some wink a stellar to the stars.  Another LO done with the exception of the journaling which will be hidden.

Take care and hurry back tomorrow for my latest design team project.

Hello and happy Saturday, lots to do today as we are preparing for Baby Girl to attend her last high school homecoming dance.  We are hopeful that the impending weather will hold off until Sunday.  Today's project share is a LO created using pictures of Baby Girl after she placed in an event at a FBLA conference, she won second place for a public service project that she did on bullying.  I used papers from the DCWV Teenage Dream paper stack, cut the title and stars using Cricut cartridges and added some bling and stickers that were gifted to me by another crafter.  This  LO is my half way mark for my self imposed LO challenge and it also means I won't get 52 LOs completed this year.

Card Sharing

Hello and happy rainy Monday, it is cold too after some nice weekend temps.  Today I am sharing some super simple holiday cards that I created at the request of a card angel she is collecting cards to give to homeless  kids. I created these cards after watching Mary's video where she used one sheet of 6x6 paper to create five cards, I decided to just use her measurements but using mostly scraps from the same paper pad.  The paper that  I used  is from an older Recollections 6x6 pad, I think the name of it is Sugar Plum.  I used different stamps for the sentiments and enamel dots from Paper Studio and Recollections.  I have five more cards to make but I will use paper from a different pad. I'm sharing this post for the Anything Goes challenge #72 over at Cardz TV and  the Love to Craft Challenge Blog #28 Anything Goes.

Happy Halloween

Hello and happy end of October, nice temps in today's forecast.  Today I am sharing another Halloween card  created using sketch inspiration from card sketch #132 from Sketch N Scrap.  The papers came from the Love Nicole Happy Haunting 6x6 paper pad which I picked up from AC Moore to do another project since I didn't have any Halloween paper in my stash.  I used a Recollections stamp for the sentiment and I cut the pumpkin using the Create-a-Critter 2 Cricut cartridge.  I'm sharing this card for the Any Holiday challenge #376 over at Hiding in my Craft Room, the Halloween challenge #82 over at Always Fun and the Witching Hour challenge #378 over at Shopping Our Stash.

Take care and Happy Halloween!

Blessed Beyond Measure

Hello and happy Tuesday, mild seasonal temps in our area today.  Today's card share is one that I created using the WCMD sketch #3 shared over at Sketch N Scrap.  The papers and cut apart used for the sentiment came from the Simple Stories Hello Fall 6x6 paper pad, added a few gems and this card was done!  I am hoping to have all of my Thanksgiving cards done by next weekend so I can get them in the mail so they will arrive early.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will return soon.

Pumpkin Spice

Hello and happy cold, rainy Saturday.  I'm back today to share another Fall themed card which will probably wind up being one of my Thanksgiving cards.  The paper and the sentiment cut apart came from the Craft Smith Pumpkin Spice and Fall embossed paper pads.  I cut the cup using the Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge, I tried to make it look like a pumpkin spice latte in the cup!  Inspiration for this card came from #335 mood board challenge over Use Your Stuff.  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes Challenge  #71 over  at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, enjoy your weekend.

Got Candy?

Hello and happy cool Thursday but sunny morning.  I'm back today to do a quick drive by post of a Halloween card that I created using sketch inspiration from  the October card sketch over at Stick it Down.  The pattern papers came from a MS Essentials paper pad, the bag and candy is a cut from the Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge and the sentiment came from a stamp set gifted to me from one of my scrappin' besties!   I'm sharing this card for the Halloween challenge #392 over at Die Cuttin' Divas.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you a wonderful day!

DONUT Give Up

Hello and happy Tuesday, sunny and cool in our area today.  I'm back to share another signature simple card that I created.  I love donuts and I have several dies  in my stash so I  decided to use one of them since they hadn't been used yet!  I created this card using the Momenta die and some donuts pattern paper that I picked up in HL a few months ago.  The stamped sentiment is from the Recollections Cheeky Modern Pop Donuts stamp and die set, addes a few enamel dots and this card was done!  I'm sharing this card for the Hiding in my Craft Room  Freestyle challenge #375 and the Anything Goes challenge #70 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for stopping by, hope you'll visit again soon!

There's Snow One Like You

Hello, happy cold Sunday, the plan is to spend more time inside than out today.   My project today is another one of my signature simple cards using sketch inspiration from challenge #286 over at Atlantic Hearts.  I used more paper scraps and some Recollections faux pearls as embellishments.  The sentiment is from the Cardz TV Snow Day stamp set and the snowman die cut came with the stamp set as part of a prize pack.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #70 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you will return soon.
