 Well I started this post last night and never finished , I am doing a drive by post so I can get moving toward getting out of the house this morning! I have  mixed feelings about this card as I haven’t really been in a creative mood lately and it seems my “crafting mojo’ may be on vacation! Today”s card was created using sketch inspiration from Freshly Made Skerches challenge #752. I used more papers from my scrap stash, a wreath die,  a bow die, a stamped  sentiment and a few gems. I hope this week brings me some renewed energy!

Planting Smiles

 

Hello and happy Monday, the weekend goes by way to fast! I am doing a drive by post as I meant to share yesterday but didn’t get a chance. I am sending this card to my cousin as she is an avid gardener but going through a rough time right now. I hope this card lifts her spirits and makes a way for healing and restoration. When putting the card together I used stamps and dies from Waffle Flower Green Thumb and paper from my stash.

Thank you for your visit, take care and have a wonderful week. I hope you will visit again soon.

Sunday Musings

 

Hello and happy Saturday, doing a quick drive by post to share a card created for someone that needed some encouragement. I used sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #700, papers from my scrap stash and a stamped sentiment from one of the American Crafts Bible Journaling sets. I didn’t add any gems since the card is going to a male. I am still using my stash, trying to organize and declutter so my posting is a little sporadic!

Oh My Stars

 

Good Sunday morning, doing a quick drive by post as I have a long to do list today.  Today's card was created using sketch inspiration from the Sketch N Scrap card sketch #298 for June.  I used mostly papers from a Colorbok Old Glory paper pad, a Jolee jar sticker and some wood stars all items that have been in my stash for years! This is the only 4th of July card that I'll be making and it will have to be hand delivered! I have so many cards that need to go postal which means I will need to purchase more stamps soon.

Thank you for your visit, take care and I hope you will visit again soon.
