Small Things

Hello and happy Tuesday, mild temps and sunshine in today’s forecast; day 44 of C19.   I am doing an afternoon quick drive by post with a card that I created after watching Crafting With Te on YT.  I used more paper from the Echo Park Have Faith 6x6 paper pad and one of the cut a parts for the sentiment.  Sketch inspiration came from Operation Write Home sketch #23, another clean and simple card ready to go postal.  I decided to add some gemstones after I took the picture.

Thank you for your visit, be safe and stay healthy and hurry back!

Mother’s Day

Hello and happy sunny Sunday afternoon after a morning of rain showers and clouds.  Today’s card  share is one that uses sketch inspiration from  Tuesday Morning Skerches #551.  It is my first Mother’s Day Card for 2020 and I like how it came out, another signature clean and simple.  I used paper scraps from the Pebbles Girl Squad 6x6 paper pad, a Stampabilities stamp for the sentiment, a tab punch, a K&Co. puffy heart sticker and the card was done!

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

COVID Cooking

Hello and happy cloudy Thursday evening doing a quick drive by post.  Today’s project share is a LO that I created sharing some of what we have been doing during the pandemic.  We have been cooking more and trying some different recipes.  We recently made bang bang shrimp pasta, salmon cakes and my version of the O’Charleys California chicken salad.  I used miscellaneous papers, stickers for the title, the From my Kitchen Cricut cartridge to cut the apron and my SLICE machine to cut the apple and pan.  I am already working on another quarantine LO, hopefully I will finish it this weekend.

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and healthy.

Just For You

Hello  and happy Tuesday, stopping in to do another drive by post.  Today’s project share was created using more scraps from my stash and sketch inspiration shared on the Sketch and Scrap FB group where they share different challenges from the blog.  The flowers were cut using a Love Nicole die for the larger one and a Sizzix die for the smaller two.  The sentiment was cut unsung a De’sire die set that I picked up from TM earlier this year and the little gemstones were part of a prize pack.  I am working on cards that will be going to residents in facilities that can’t have visitors right now, I hope to have all 20 done before the end of the week.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will return soon.  Be safe and stay healthy as you stay home.

CIU #198 - Our Beautiful Earth

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin.  Today’s project share is my design team project created for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for this challenge #198  is Earth Day and our sponsor is Digital Delights by Louby Loo.

I created my respecting nature card by using papers from one of my Ki Memories (Hampton Arts) 6x6 paper pads and one  of my favorite Sizzix die sets.  I used a Love Nicole stamp for the sentiment and added some Wink of Stellar and some liquid pearls.  Although this is one of my favorite die sets this is only my second time using it because it can be a little time consuming, maybe the next time I will make more more than one card using the die. I am sharing this card for the Showers & Flowers challenge over at Double D Challenges.

Now that you have seen my project I hope you will head over to the Cut it Up  challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your Earth Day project.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, April 29 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, come back soon, stay safe and healthy.

Beautiful Day

Hello and happy chilly Tuesday, it has been a few days since I shared or played.  I was really pushing myself to get my Spring and Easter greetings in the mail last week so I took a little break.  Today’s card share was created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #167.  I chose misc. papers from my scrap stash,  used a Crafter’s Companion die for the flower, a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment and a sequin for the center of the flower.  I Am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #112 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and healthy.

Hoppy Easter

Hello and happy Thursday, more rain in today’s forecast.  I am doing a quick drive by post as I am moving a slow this morning as I have a sinus headache.  Today’s card share is another Easter card that went postal yesterday to our nephew.  The bunny print paper came from the Hello Easter 6x6 paper pad, cut the bunny using my SLICE, added some Stickles for the eye and a bow tie that I cut using the Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge.  I have a few more Easter cards going postal today, since I won’t be visiting family and friends.  I am sharing this card for the Easter challenges over at Always Fun and  Use Your Stuff.
