Hello and happy sunny, hot Friday, let the weekend begin!  I'm back today to share my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme for challenge #175 is Birthdays and our sponsor is Spellbinders.

I used the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Sending a Happy Birthday etched die set  by Sharyn Sowell from her Happy collection.  The papers came from my scrap stash and the Recollections Backyard Table 6x6 pad, added some sparkle to the candles using a Crafter's Companion glitter pen and this card was done!

We'd love to have you visit us over at the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration; share your birthday project using a die for the chance to win some crafty goodness from Spellbinders.  The challenge starts today and ends on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 at noon EST.

Thank you for you visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Happy Graduation Day

Hello and happy Tuesday, another sunny day in today's forecast with the possibility of some showers. I hope that you had a wonderful weekend, enjoyed some time with family and friends.  Today's card share is another graduation card using vinyl and a cut from the Silhouette design store.  I used a Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment and a few Love Nicole stars as embellishments.  I'm sharing this card for the graduation challenge over at Always Fun Challenges.

Thank you for your visit, hope you'll return soon.

Baptism

Hello and happy Sunday, I am doing a quick drive by post as I tried to post before church but ran out of time since Baby Girl had to be there early since she had to usher today.  Today I am sharing her baptism LO which has been siting unfinished for some time!  I cut the Bible and title using my SLICE, used a strip of  DT washi,  a Verve stamp for the Bible verse, added a few gems and the LO was finally complete.  So happy to have this blessed event finally documented.  I can't believe this is only my 4th LO for the year and it is almost June.  I am sharing this LO for the Anything Goes challenge #90 over at Cardz TV.

Congrats

Hello and happy sunny Thursday, it is going to be warm today.  I won't be spending too much time outside.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share one of the graduation cards that I made as I am running out of time since June will be here soon.  The pattern paper is from Paper Studio, picked it up a few weeks ago when they had single sheets of pattern paper on sale.  The Polaroid was cut using an unbranded die, stamped the sentiment and added a few stickers and this card was done!

Thank you for your visit, hope you'll return soon!

Thinking of You

Hello and happy hot and sunny Monday, another day of extremely warm temps.   We had a relatively busy weekend and I didn't sleep well last night but I still must press on.  Today's card share is a super clean and simple but classy card!   I used papers from the My Mind's Eye Dwell 6x6 paper pad, sketch inspiration from CAS(E) this sketch #322, stamped the sentiment on a fish tail cut banner and the card was done!

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful week.

Saturday Musings

Hello Saturday, more warm temps in our area today after a loud hunder and rain storm last night.  My plans for today include chores, errands and working on more LOs.  Today's card share is one created with sketch inspiration from Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge #407.  The papers came from my scrap stash so I'm not sure but I think the pattern piece might be My Mind's Eye, used  unbranded dies for the stitched circles, a Stampendous stamp for the sentiment and a MS butterfly punch.

Thank you for your visit, hope you are enjoying your weekend,

CIU #174 - Picnics

Hello and happy sunny Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today I am sharing my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, our theme for challenge #174  is Picnics and our sponsor is A Day for Daisies.

When putting my card together I struggled with the design and sentiment, so I used inspiration from one of  Mary's sketches from Cardz TV.  I used the watermelon wedges digital stamp from our sponsor that I colored with pencils.  The papers used came from my scrap stash,  a Bo Bunny stamp for the sentiment and a few Recollections faux pearls for embellishments and this card was done!

Now that you've seen my card, I hope you'll  head on over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration and decide to share your Picnic themed project for a chance to win a $8 gift certificate from our our sponsor.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, May 29 at noon.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll return soon!

Congrats

Hello and happy Thursday, doing a quick drive by post today.  Today's card share uses sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts sketch #316, papers from the WeR Memory Keepers Hall Pass 6x6 paper pad, an unbranded die for the stitched circle and, a Studio G stamp for the sentiment.  This  6x6 paper pad is almost done and this card can be one used for a male!  I have to step up and get my graduation/moving on cards done soon as the school year comes to an end.

Take care, I hope you'll come back tomorrow for my latest design team project.

Senior

Hello and happy Tuesday, cloudy/rain and cooler temps in our area today.  I'm doing a drive by post to share my latest LO which I completed at Saturday's crop.  I am so far behind that I doubt I'll have my daughter's book done by the end of the summer!  Today's LO is super simple and it uses one of the pictures taken during a photo session for some of her senior portraits.  The base pattern paper came from the DCWV Teenage Dream 12x12 paper stack, and the title was cut using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used stickers, a doily, die cuts and a torn sheet from an old book as embellishments.  I am sharing this LO for the anything goes challenge #89 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, hope you'll visit again soon!

Tuesday Morning Sketches

I am back again to share one of the last Mother's Day cards that I made this year..  I am back home after spending some time with my mom or rather my parents and decided to share another card since the sketch link would be closing soon. I used sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #504, papers from the Ki Memories Doilies 6x6 paper pad, some twine and Paper Studio flowers.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes May/Mother's Day challenge over at Papercraft Challenge.

Thank you, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Especially for You

Hello, happy Sunday and Happy Mother's Day!  I spent some time yesterday playing with the RVA Scrappers celebrating NSD and I completed all the make and takes and the card that I am sharing.  I used mostly scraps of paper, the Sizzix rain boot die and a Me & My Big Ideas sticker for the sentiment.  The rain boot is one of the dies that I was enabled to buy after seeing a YT haul video and one that I like alot so I will be using it again soon.  I am sharing this for the May Flower challenge #395 over at  Shopping Our Stash.

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

Teacher Appreciation

Hello and happy Friday, mild temps in the forecast for our area today.  It's Friday and I'm here to share a last minute card that I had to mass produce for my daughter.  She is in her last year of high school and for some reason decided that she wanted to do something for her teachers so I made a this card after looking on the internet for quick and simple ideas!  I literally took the picture as we were trying to get out the door after she asked me to write the note on the inside of the cards so it looks a little blurred.  I used a Darice embossing folder, the pencil is a cut from the Nate's ABCs Cricut cartridge and the sentiment is from the Cricut Sampler cartridge.  I thought about adding some stars but since I had to put these together without any help from my daughter I kept it simple!  This week we have recognized; police, nurses and teachers and we are thankful for the important work that they do!  I'm sharing this card for the anything goes challenge #89 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you a wonderful weekend as most will celebrate mothers and college graduates.

Tea Time

Hello and happy Thursday, sunny skies in our area after a rain storm yesterday.  Today's project share is a coffee/tea themed Mother's Day card created using sketch inspiration from the May sketch challenge #419 over at Die Cuttin' Divas.  I used papers from the Shimelle True Stories 6x6 paper pad, dies to cut the square and circle and the A Child's Year Cricut cartridge for the cup; finished the card by adding a few C.C. Designs enamel dots.   I am sharing this card for the May Anything Goes  challenge #34 over at Love to Craft. and the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop over at Coffee Loving Cardmakers where you'll find lots of great inspiration!

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return soon.

Mother's Day

Hello and happy sunny Tuesday, I'm back today to share another Mother's Day card.  I'm running late I hope to get all of my cards in the mail by tomorrow so they will arrive on time.  I created this card using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap #145, paper from the Ki Memories Growing Garden 6x6 paper pad, used the Cricut Create-a-Critter 2 cartridge for the sentiment and finished it by adding some Simple Stories enamel dots.  I am sharing this card for the Female or Mom  challenge #109 over at Always Fun Challenges and the Mother's Day challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll return soon.

Super Sweet

Hello Sunday and happy Cinco de Mayo!  It has been raining since last night so that means less outside time today as the rain continues and the possibility of a storm.   I didn't get to play for National Scrapbooking day yesterday so I got up early this morning and decided to play before getting ready for church.  Today's card share uses sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #501, paper from the Ki Memories 6x6 paper pad, a Studio G cupcake stamp (colored with color pencils) and some Queen & Co Jellies.  I am sharing this card for the Hello Cupcake challenge #394 over at Shopping Our Stash and the Anything Goes challenge #88 over at Cardz TV.

Wednesday Wanderings

Hello and happy Wednesday, warm temps in our area today.  I have been so busy that I haven't had time to share, but I wanted to stop in today to share a little update on some things that I have been working on, I have so many pictures that I need to scrap but I just haven't had the time and I'm not sure when I will have the time!  Today I am sharing a little picture collage of what happened today,  this morning our daughter presented her senior thesis and it was also decision day for the seniors. Monday night I had to make sure she had stuff to decorate her locker (pictured)  and last night/this morning I made a photo booth and props for their decision day pictures.  We have just forty more days until graduation!

Thank you for your visit, please come again soon.
