Season's Greetings


 Hello Tuesday, drizzling in our area this morning with a forecast for heavier rain later today.  Today's drive by post is another holiday card created using sketch inspiration from Mojo Monday sketch #546.  I used papers from the Doodlebug Santa Express paper pad and a Sizzix die for the sentiment and this card was done!  I couldn't decide whether I wanted to add anything else but as you can see my normal clean and simple won!

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and enjoy your day.

Wedding Wishes

 


Hello and happy Sunday and the start of a new week!  Today’s project share is a wedding card that I put together for one of my coworkers that will be married later today.  I used some papers and ribbon from a CTMH Fundamentals pack that was gifted to me from one of my scrapping besties!  The bride and groom was cut using the Cricut Wedding Solutions cartridge, the sentiment is from one of the CTMH Cricut sets, added a few gems to the back of the dress and this card was done! I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #124 over at Cardz TV.

Fall Memory Dex



 Hello and happy Wednesday and first full day of Fall, I meant to post yesterday but as life would have it I didn't get a chance.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post sharing a MemoryDex card that I created for one of the challenges during  a recent zoom meet up.  I created the card by stenciling the background with some distress inks, added some Fall themed emphera and coffee cup that I cut using the Sizzx Spring Icons die set that I picked up on clearance from HL recently.  This will be going postal this weekend along with some other just because mail!  I am sharing this project for the anything but a card challenge over at Sisterhood of Crafters.

Self-Care


Hello Wednesday, I have been trying to post for the last two days.  Today’s project share is a LO that I created documenting my self-care journey.   In June I joined the GirlTrek movement and started walking at least 30 minutes for five days a week.   I started this LO last month and finished it over the holiday weekend and finally snapped the picture yesterday.   I used a sheet of paper from my stash for the base and the remaining papers are from the Illustrated Faith a paper pack that I used for the card from my last post.  Stick letters for the title, Jolee’s enamel dots and a sneaker die cut from the Silhouette Designs online store completed the LO.  I am sharing this LO for the Anything Goes challenge #122 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and hurry back.

 Hello Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today’s project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme for challenge #208 is Wheels on the Bus and the sponsor is Newton”s Nook.

Artist Trading Cards

 


Hello cloudy, and  rainy Tuesday.  I am doing a quick drive by post to share some Artist Trading Cards (ATC) that I made after watching a YT video.   I am going to send these to my daughter so that she can display them on her inspiration wall at school.  I just used mostly scraps of paper, a free digital file for the flower that I colored with markers and fuzzy cut.  On the other card, I used a Stampendous girl stamp that I colored with pencils, used a stitched oval die and a few gems and it was done!

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and hurry back.
