Holiday Greetings

 Hello Monday, taking a break from the Fall and  Thanksgiving cards to share a Christmas card that I created this morning. I used sketch inspiration from  Freshly Made Sketches  #761.  The final card was different from my original plan as  I originally wanted to use some leftover items from previous projects but I wound up going in another direction. I decided not to include an outside sentiment because of the pattern piece of paper that came from an older Recollections 12x12 pad, all of the papers used are Recollections with the exception of the piece of vellum for the oval (hard to see in the picture). The vellum, gems for the poinsettias and the star are from Paper Studio;  the tree was cut using  a scrapbook.com die

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

Friday Musings

 Hello Friday, let the weekend begin! Doing a quick drive by post to share another  card. I used sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #303. Cut the acorns using a Spellbinders die set, stamped the sentiment with a Fiskars stamp set, all items used have been in my stash for sometime. I am sharing this card for the Just Us Girls Die Week #848 Acorns.

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

Happy Harvest

 

Hello Thursday and happy little Friday! Today I am doing a drive by post to share another card. I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts #706 and more leftover papers, embellishments and gems from previous projects. I still need to create a few more cards, working against several deadlines which includes me needing to get some layouts done!

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

Hello November

 

Hello Monday, the second day of November. I am doing a quick drive by post to share another card to add to my handmade smiles stash. I used sketch inspiration from Freshly Made Sketches  #760, I love their sketches they go perfectly with my clean and simple crafting style. I used more scrap pattern papers from a Close to my Heart paper pack. I cut the leaves with two different die sets and added a leftover stamped sentiment and this card was done and will be going postal later this week.

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

CIU #368 - Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

 Hello Friday, let the weekend begin. Today's  card share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme is Thankful, Grateful, Blessed. When creating my card I used more random papers from my stash including a corrugated piece. I used a die for the zig zag frame and the sentiment, both from scrapbook.com. 

I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge for weeks 776-777 over at Word Art Wednesday.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your Thankful, Grateful, Blessed project using a die. The challenge starts today and ends Monday, November 9, 2026 at noon PST.

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

Monday Musings

 Hello and happy Monday, doing another drive by post so share a card created for someone that recently lost a child. I always struggle with sympathy cards so I tend to keep them clean and simple. I stenciled some butterflies with distress oxide ink, stamped a sentiment and added some tiny star gems. This card is going postal today. I am sharing this card for the stencil challenge #846 over at Just Us Girls.

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

Get Well Soon

Another card completed and going postal soon!
