RVA Scrappers

Hello Friday afternoon, let the weekend begin!  Today’s project share is a LO using sketch inspiration from  Challenge YOUrself #79.  I like visiting their blog because their challenges requires you to scrap yourself which is something that I rarely do.  I used a picture from the October 2019 meetup of my local scrapbook club,  we  haven’t seen each other since February  due to the pandemic.  I used misc papers, dies and embellishments from my stash.  I cut the witch from a sheet of pattern paper, und the Accent Essentials Cricut cartridge to cut the scallop borders.  I like how this LO came out, l hope I can get a few more done this weekend.  I am sharing this LO for the Anything Goes challenge #120 over at Cardz TV.

Than:you for your visit, I hope You will return soon!  Be careful and stay safe.

Sorry For Your Loss

Hello.  Monday night, meant to post earlier but as life would have it I didn’t have time.  Doing a quick drive by post bas I have a few other tasks before I go to bed for the night!   When putting this card together I used sketch And theme inspiration from Soul Scrappers card challenge #86.  The papers are from AC Jen Hadfield, a Recollections stamp for the sentiment, some twine for the bow and some flower brads that have been in my stash for years.

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

Love & Joy Come to You

Good morning, just dropping in to do a quick quick post as I need to get organized and ready for my day.  Today’s card share is my second Christmas in July card where I used a wreath die for the first time.  The SpellbInders build a wreath die was gifted to me over five years ago from another crafter but I was intimidated so I never used it until this week.  The  die set has 8 pieces including the bow, I cut and embossed each piece twice, assembled the wreath and added it to the card using some foam adhesive.  I used pattern paper from an American Crafts 6x6 paper pad that picked  up from TM last year and a Hero Arts stamp that I picked up from a TM store closing sale last Sunday..   My continued goal is try to use my goodies sooner rather than later and reduce my stash.  I am sharing this card for the Cardz TV Anything Goes challenge #119.

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