CIU #233 - Favorite Sketch

 Hello Friday and welcome to the weekend.  Today's project share is my latest design team submission for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #233 is favorite sketch, I chose to do a layout since I am really behind; I love the sketches over at Sketch N Scrap so I am using their layout sketch #27.  The challenge sponsor is STAMPlorations and she is offering a $20 gift certificate, they have some great crafting supplies.

For my layout I used pictures that I took recently during one of my self care walks, for over a year now I have tried to walk at least 30 minutes per day.  When putting my layout together I used pattern papers from the WE R Memory Keepers 12x12 Jet Set paper pad, cut a walking silhouette with my SLICE machine,  cut the clouds with a Tonic die,  and added some stickers from the Simple Stories I AM collection.  The Hang in There sitting on the clouds was cut using a die from our challenge sponsor and the alphabet  lettering used for the main title has been in my stash for many years.  I am sharing this LO for challenge #92 - Taking Care of You over at Challenge YOURself.

Now that you have seen my project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration. Create and share your project using a sketch for a chance to win a gift certificate from  STAMPlorations, don’t forget to use a die on your project. The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, September 8  at noon EST.

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

Wednesday Musings

 

Hello and happy Wednesday, more seasonal temps in our area and a forecast for some rain in the next few days.  Today's card share is one created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #435 and mostly scrap papers from the Simple Stories Reset Girl 6x6 paper pad, just one one card and this paper pad will be done!  The sentiments is from a Woodware stamp set and the mint gemstones are from Paper Studio, I used a Sizzix die to cut the sentiment banner.  This card came together relatively quickly as I am trying to finish off a few 6x6 paper pads.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and come back soon.  My next post will be on Friday where I will be sharing my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.

Father’s Day

 

Hello and happy Sunday, the start of a new week a chance to do and be better.  Today’s project share is a layout created  using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap challenge #230 and some Tim Holtz and Paper Studio papers.  I cut the tittle using the Cricut Artiste CTMH cartridge, to heart die cuts and   some  Tim Holtz  small talk stickers.  I even added some white paint splatters which you can’t really see in the picture.  This layout is done, I was thinking it needed something else but the only other thing that I am going to add is the journaling.

Thank you for your visit and continue to be safe.  I hope you will visit again soon.

Friday Musings

 

Hello Friday, more rain in today’s forecast.  Today’s drive by post is another birthday card created using a Mojo Monday sketch.   This male themed card  uses more papers from the  Love Nicole Time Machine 6x6 paper pad.  I really miss AC Moore even though I really don’t need anything.  One of my crafting friends shared she is on a challenge to use her unused stuff so I decided to do the same.  So I used the Sizzix Sophie Aguilar Doodle Alphabet die set to cut the sentiment, it has been in my stash for almost two years I think (maybe more).  Finished the card by adding a star with some foam adhesive.  I’m sharing this card for challenge #554 over at The Paper Players, clean and simple masculine.

Thank you for your visit, take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Birthday Rachelle

  

Hello and happy Monday, today is one of my crafting buddies birthday so I am sharing the card that I made for her,  I used sketch inspiration from card sketch #199 over at Sketch N Scrap and paper from the My Mind’s Eye All Spice 6x6 paper pad. The flower was cut using a Crafter’s Companion die, the sentiment is a CAS-ual Fridays stamp for the sentiment and a few Recollections gems completed the card.  One of my cousins is celebrating his birthday today too, I shared his card on Friday, I hope both cards reach their destination today!  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #147 over at Cardz TV.

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