Holiday Wishes


 Hello and happy Monday, hope you had a wonderful holiday and that you got to spend some time with family and friends.  Today I am sharing another card using a die cut that had been sitting around since last year!  I used papers from the DCWV Glittered Winter mat stack which was gifted to me from one of my crafting besties.  The oval was cut using a Spellbinders die, used  a Cottage Cutz die for the ice skates, snowflake stickers and a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment. I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash  challenge #459 - Triple Threat (3 glittered snowflakes).

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back soon!

Weekend Play

 


Hello and happy Saturday afternoon, stopping in for a quick drive by post.  I am about to go out for a quick walk but I wanted to create this post before the day ended.  I created this thank you card using an old PDE sketch and papers from. The Bo Bunny 6x6 Beautifully Brisk paper pad, cut the leaves using a TH Sizzix Sidekick thin lit die, stamped and embossed the sentiment using a CTMH stamp.  I finished the card by adding a few KI Memories gems, another card ready to be mailed as part of my Grateful30 sharing.  I am sharing this card for the tic-tac-toe challenge #458 over at Shopping Our Stash.  I used leaves, a stamp older than 3 years old and it is a thank you card.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back.

Thanks


 In all things give thanks, hello and happy Tuesday, mild temps in our area in today’s forecast.  Today I am doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from this month’s arc sketch over at Stick it Down.  I used miscellaneous papers from my stash for most of the card but the pattern piece came from the Love Nicole Autumn Splendor 6x6 paper pad.  The stamped sentiment is from a very old set that was gifted to me many years ago, the name on the packaging is My Sentiments Exactly.  Added a few Bo Bunny gems and a flower from my stash and this card was done, now to figure how to create an envelope so it can survive the mail!

Thank you for your visit, hurry back soon!

Celebrate

 


Hello Monday night, it has been a few days since I shared; I was busy creating LOs for a Halloween crop event.  Today I am sharing one of the LOs that I created using a picture taken last month at one of my college roommates retirement party.  We had so much fun and  I was glad to see some friends that I hadn’t seen in a few years .I used pattern paper from the Park Lane Classic Chic 12x12 paper pad and Recollections foil cardstock.  The dress and shoes were cut using the Forever Young Cricut cartridge,  a Sizzix die for the sentiment and an unbranded die set for the balloons. Added the splatters using water color paint, some twine and brads that have been in my stash for years. I am sharing this layout for the Challenge YOURself #94,  Black and White plus one other color.

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