December Memory Dex Card

 

Hello and happy Wednesday, today I am doing a quick drive by post to share my last monthly memory dex card for 2023.  I am in a dilemma as the year is ending and I have to make a few purchases because I'm going into 2024 on a no craft spending plan; the only exception being adhesive!  I have way too much stuff and I must use it or part with it! I created this project using two items that I had never used before.  The gingerbread die is from Momenta and was added to my stash last year and the pattern paper is from a pack that which I received in the mail on Monday from winning a giveaway on YT.  I'm sharing this project over on the NBUS challenge #56 for the second time this month!

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

Sunday Musings

 

Hello again, back today to share another holiday card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #733.  This signature clean and simple card was created using scraps from the Miss Mary Christmas 6x6 paper pad that I picked up from Hobby Lobby, finished by adding a snowflake cut with a Sizzix 3-D  die; I didn't add a sentiment because of the pattern paper that includes random sentiments.  Another card done that won't require additional postage.

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

Joy & Cheer

 

Hello and happy Sunday and Thanksgiving week! Doing a quick drive by post to share another holiday card.  I used sketch inspiration from  Atlantic Hearts challenge #551, some random papers from my stash, a hexagon punch, some small poinsettias from HL and a Spellbinders stamp set for the sentiment. I embossed the sentiment since I  couldn’t find my gold stamp pad! Another card done because I have signed up for two card exchange groups. 

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful week. Hurry back again soon.

CIU #291 - Friends and Family

 Hello Friday, let the weekend begin! The hustle and bustle of the Thanksgiving holiday will be in full force. Today’s project share is my design team project for challenge #291 at the Cut it Up challenge blog,  the theme is Friends and family.

I created a layout using pictures taken of my sister,  one of our cousins and myself at a football earlier this month.  Family love is powerful and an added bonus when you your family members are friends too! I used papers from the CTMH Evensong paper pack, a  Sizzix Herat die and a few other items from my stash. This was my first time using the heart die that I picked up from HL on clearance and the paper  was gifted to me recently.  Happy to have another layout done, still got a ways to go to meet my yearly goal.

 Now you should visit the Cut it Up  challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your own Friends and Family project using a die.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, November 29, 2023 at noon PST.

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

Thursday Musings

 

Good morning and happy Little Friday!  Doing a quick drive by post as I sip my morning tea before I get dressed for work.  Today's card share was created after watching several YT videos on how to use the Spellbinders Open House Door die that I had picked up earlier in the year on clearance in Hobby Lobby.  The die set comes with 16 dies and they have add-on sets, I have one in my shopping cart now (smh).  I used an embossing folder to create the brick layer, stamped the sentiment with some white pigment ink, cut the little wreath using a Sizzix die and finished the card by adding some Paper Studio stars! I sharing this card for the Emboss at a Boss challenge #509 over at Shopping Our Stash and  challenge #56 over at Never Before Used Stuff, this was my first time using the house die.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back soon!

Hello and happy Tuesday, nice weather day; I walked to my polling place and voted this morning.  Today’s card share is one created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #550. The pattern stripes are from the Paper Studio Miss Mary Christmas 6x6 paper pad, I used Gina Marie die and enamel dots.  I like the card but looking at it now I probably should have used gold and not silver on the gnome.

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

 Hello Thursday evening, I have been trying to share this post for the last two days.  It has been cold for the last few days so I finally had to turn the heat on this morning.  Today's card share is one created using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #731.  I used mostly paper scraps, the pattern sheet came from an old American Crafts 6x6 paper pad ;an unbranded die for focal point and a stamped sentiment that  was in my waiting to be used stash.  I really like how this card came together, a nice addition to my holiday cards.

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