First Day of Fall

 

Hello and happy Thursday, the first day of Fall!  I'm  doing a quick drive by post to share another card.  I used sketch inspiration from Stick it Down September Card Sketch.  I used some misc. papers from my stash, I think the pattern papers are from an old Stampin' Up paper share, as it was all that I had left.  I cut the little koala bear using the Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge and used a Woodware stamp set for the sentiment.  Another card done and ready to go when I need one!

Thank you for your visit, I hope you return soon; tomorrow I will be sharing my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.

Hugs & Kisses

Hello and happy sunny Wednesday, I'm back today to share a cute and simple card that I made for my daughter.  I hope she likes it  since she really doesn't care for pink!   I didn't use a sketch for inspiration just wanted to use the ladybug from the Create-a-Critter 2 cricut cartridge!  All the paper came from my scrap stash, the sentiment stamp is from an old Recollections Valentines Day stamp and die set.  I used a Crafter's Companion edge die and added a few Amy Tangerine enamel hearts and the card was done!  I'm sharing this card for the following challenges:

Bitten by the Bug 2 - Valentine Hearts

Die Cuttin' Divas - #407 Love

Use Your Stuff - #347 Hearts Pink/Red

Thank you for  your visit, hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and that you'll return soon.  I'll be sharing another Valentine's Day project tomorrow and on Friday we'll have a Cut it Up Sponsor Thank You blog hop.

#1 DAD

Hello and happy Thursday,  warm temps in the forecast for our area today. Just a few days before Father's Day and I have another card that I put together. I was watching one of May May's videos and since I didn't have the punch size that she used I created a totally different card.  I used paper from my scrap stash, a circle punch, a circle die for the matting, a cuttlebug folder, a Hero Arts stamp set for the tools and the Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge for the sentiment.  I even did a little coloring!  I am sharing this card for the Die Cuttin' Divas challenge #373 - Father's Day or Masculine, the Super Scraps Saturday challenge #356 over at Hiding in my Craft Room and the Father's Day challenge over at Bitten by the Bug2.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll return tomorrow for my very first design team announcement and project!  Wishing you and yours a teriffic Thursday.

Babies are a Blessing

Hello and happy Thursday, cooler temps in the forecast today.  Today's card is a super simple baby card that I put together using misc. scraps from my stash.  I think the pattern paper may be from Paper Studio, I know the stamp was one that I picked up from HL some time ago, the stitched rectangles are from Pink & Main and I used the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge to cut the monkey.  I am sharing this card for the Make a Baby Card Challenge over at Soul Scrappers.   hope you have a wonderful day.

Babies Are a Blessing

Hello and happy Sunday, I am back today to share another card.  I created today's card for one of my coworkers, I didn't attend the shower yesterday so I will take her gift and card to work tomorrow.  The sketch inspiration for this card came from sketch #227 over at CAS(E) This Sketch.  I used her colors and theme, a cuttlebug embossing folder, cut the owl from the Create a Critter cricut cartridge and a Momenta stamp for the sentiment.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful week.

Happy Birthday Lucas

Hello and happy rainy Thursday!  I am feeling a little under the weather but I'm pressing on as there is always something to do.  So it's almost the weekend and National Scrapbooking Day is Saturday; what's on your agenda?  On Friday, my daughter and I will be volunteering at a festival,  we will  be attending a Mother's Day tea on Saturday and on Sunday we will probably go to church with my mom.

Today I am sharing another card that I put together for a young man that will be celebrating his 6th birthday on Friday; he is terminally ill so his parents requested cards for him through their local news and one of the FB card angels suggested that we send him cards too.  I am also sharing it for the Freestyle challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.  I think the pattern paper is from Karen Foster, something old that has been in my stash for a long time; I used the Create-a-Critter cricut cartridge for the dinosaur and the CTMH Artiste cartridge for the balloon!

Tale care.

Smile

Hello and Happy Sunday, the sun is shining and we have warm temps but the forecast calls for rain.  So my plans for today after church include running a few errands, cook dinner  and play!  I surely hope I don't get side tracked.  Today I am sharing my fifth LO for my 2016 challenge, still behind but making progress!  The LO uses a picture of my daughter taken with a local news personality, who was the guest speaker at a NAACP awards banquet.  The pattern paper is from a K&Co. Specially pad, the flowers, doily and wood veneer cameras are embellishments that are always in my stash.  I used the Create-a-Critter cartridge for the title and the Nifty Fifties cartridge for the retro television.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll come back soon.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful week.

Monday Musings

I am back this snowy Monday to share another birthday card, I have been I the house almost around the clock since I got in Friday around noon.  I am so ready for this snow to be gone because I am sitting around eating myself today.  I have lots that I could be doing but all I have been doing is eating and sleeping.  Today I am sharing a birthday card that I put together using paper from the  Echo Park This & That 6x6 paper pad.    I cut the owl using the Create a Critter cricut cartridge, the oval with a Spellbinder die, stamped a sentiment and added some wood veneer stars and this card was done!  I have created several  other cards using this pad since being snowed in, I hope to finish using this pad within the next few days.  I am still hoping my LO mojo will return soon.  Take care, I hope you will visit again soon.

Easter

 

Happy Easter, wishing you and yours a wonderfully blessed day.  I am sharing today's card for the bunny challenge over at Bitten by the Bug2.  I made this card for my daughter, she has outgrown most of the traditional things that we did when she was younger.  So now she just gets a little gift bag or basket with a few goodies.  The card came together rather quickly once I cut all the layers of the bunny which I used the Create a Critter cartridge.  The paper came from the Making Memories Cheeky 6x6 paper pad, it has been in my stash forever.  Because of the size of the bunny there wasn't much room for much of anything else!  Added a few corner embellishments and a stamped sentiment with a few gems.

Take care and enjoy.

Tis the Season for Giving

As I wind down from the celebration of my birthday I am doing the happy dance because I finally finished my first LO for 2014.  This LO uses pictures of me and some of my sistah friends putting together gift bags for a service project last month; I shared about this project in earlier posts.  The sketch inspiration for this LO comes from  this month's pajama party hosted by Tiare over at iClassygirl.  I used my silhouette to cut the title, my cricut to cut the shopping bag, Christmas stickers that have been in my stash for some years and a wreath sicker that I recieved from my secret sistah over at SOC.  Wishing you and yours a great week.

Spirit Day

Today is spirit day at my daughter's school and we haven't purchased any gear yet so she asked me to make her a t-shirt.  She told me what she wanted on it so we just had to get an orange t-shirt , the school colors are black and orange.  I think it came out cute, and she was pleased, I used the Quarter Note cartridge for the vinyl lettering and Create A Critter for the glittered heart.  My laptop had the blue screen death this morning, I sure hope it comes back alive!

Farewell Dear Brother

Today I'm sharing another LO using one of the sketches in the Anytime, Anywhere Scrapbooking Experience. It is sketch number 18 for 2012 as shared by Tiare over at iClassygirl. The LO uses pictures of my dad along with his brothers singing at their oldest brother's homegoing service. It was a moving tribute to my uncle Willis whom we all fondly called "Blue." The title was cut from two different cricut cartridges and one of the SLICE cards. I used the Create-a-Critter cartridge for the first time.
