Celebrate the Season

Hello and happy Wednesday, the day after Christmas; I am heading in to work today since I stayed in all day yesterday!  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you enjoyed time with family and friends.  Today  is my parents anniversary I hope their card arrives as it seems a lot of my Christmas cards haven't made it to their destination yet.

Today's project share is another Christmas card that I made using sketch inspiration for the online crop being hosted by Sketch N Scrap on FB.  I used more paper from the American Crafts paper pad, an unbranded die for the stitched circle, a Spellbinders label die and some enamel dots.  I am sharing this card for Any Holiday challenge #384 over at Hiding in my Craft Room and the Anything Goes challenge #79 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and that you will return again soon. I failed at posting daily this month but such is life!

Sunday Musings

Hello and happy rainy Sunday evening I am late posting.  Today's project share is a classic clean and simple card created after watching  Mary's YT video; she is doing a Twelve Days of Christmas Card series.  I just used paper scraps from unfinished projects, I even used my crackle embossing folder for the first time,  I cut the tree using my Silhouette Cameo and a Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment.   I am sharing this for the KISS challenge #383 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

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

Brighter Days

Hello and happy Wednesday, another inclement weather day here for the kids, hopefully they will go tomorrow!  I'm back today doing a driveby post of a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Fall to Layout #101 Take 2 over at Palmtrees and Pogosticks.  I used mostly scrap paper from my stash, I do know that the flowered pattern paper is from Jillibean Soup.  I added a Recollections flower, a button and an unbranded stamp for the sentiment. Another completed card and ready to go postal.   I'm sharing this card for the Super Scraps Saturday #382 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Thank you for your visit, hurry back!

Wednesday Wanderings

Hello, cold and sunny here in our area today, doing a quick afternoon post.  Today's card share is a card that I created recently but never shared it for the challenge.  It is another one of my signature clean and simple cards and I am loving it; I decided not to add a sentiment to the outside of the card.  I used a Darice snowflake embossing folder, a Sizzix Santa die, some glimmer mist and some wink of stellar.  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #75 over at Cardz TV and the Any Holiday challenge #380 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Thanks for your visit and I hope you'll return soon.

DONUT Give Up

Hello and happy Tuesday, sunny and cool in our area today.  I'm back to share another signature simple card that I created.  I love donuts and I have several dies  in my stash so I  decided to use one of them since they hadn't been used yet!  I created this card using the Momenta die and some donuts pattern paper that I picked up in HL a few months ago.  The stamped sentiment is from the Recollections Cheeky Modern Pop Donuts stamp and die set, addes a few enamel dots and this card was done!  I'm sharing this card for the Hiding in my Craft Room  Freestyle challenge #375 and the Anything Goes challenge #70 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for stopping by, hope you'll visit again soon!

Super Quick Treat Holder

Hello and happy Monday, I am doing a quick post; I meant to post this yesterday but as life would have it I didn't get to share.  The sun is shining and the forecast calls for temps in the lower 80s.  It looks like fall has taken over my blog  I was watching one of  MayMay's  older YT videos and decided to make this super quick treat holder, I did make some size adjustments to accommodate the treat that I was using.  The leaf pattern paper was some scraps from last year's Fall projects and I think I picked it up in HL so it is probably Paper Studio.  I cut the leaf using a Darice die, stamped a sentiment, used some ribbon and twine and this project was done!  I will probably make a different variation of this for my co-workers.  I'm sharing this super simple project for the Fall colors challenge # over at Die Cuttin' Divas and challenge #372 - Freestyle over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll return soon.  I will be sharing the winner of my blog candy from our Cut it Up Fall blog hop.

First Day of School

Hello and happy Thursday, more nice temps and no rain in today's forecast.  Today I am sharing a LO using pictures taken of Baby Girl on the first day of school.  I am participating in another Sketch N Scrap online crop on FB, this was the third challenge using sketch #117 which I think I may have used previously.  Another clean and simple LO completed and the first one for baby girl's senior year in high school.  I used pattern paper from the DCWV Homeroom 12x12 paper stack, Recollectioms washi tape, Paper Studio enamel dots and gold Recollections faux pearls.  I cut the title using the Create a Friend Cricut cartridge and the Locker Talk cartridge to cut the backpack and the pencil.  I am sharing this LO for the Back to School challenge #370 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll return soon!

Happy 75th Anniversary

Hello and happy Saturday evening, I have had  a busy day but still wanted to share my latest completed LO.  Today's project uses sketch inspiration from sketch #158 from Sketch N Scrap.  The LO uses only scraps of paper with the exception of the base.  I cut the title using the Phrases cricut cartrridge and unbranded dies for the heart and #75.   The  LO came together quickly since I gathered everything and put a kit together,, something I need to do more.  I am sharing this LO for challenge #366 - Use Die Cuts over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Thank you for your visit, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Happy Happy Happy

Hello and happy Sunday, doing a quick  post as I need to get some things done before church. Yesterday, I was out and about so I am hoping for more down time today!  Today I am sharing a card that I put together using inspiration from the August sketch challenge #381 over at Die Cuttin' Divas.  I used more paper from the Happier paper pad, just one more card and this pad is done!   I used a Recollections die for the unicorn but wasn't happy with the embossing so I used the back instead, this was my first time using this die so I might try a different sandwich the next time.  I used an unbranded die for the squares, a Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment and some K&Co stickers.  It is hard to see but I did add some Wink of Stella to the unicorn.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes Challenge #60 over at Cardz TV and the Super Scraps challenge #365 over at  Hiding in my Craft Room.

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

Remember the Season

Hello and happy Tuesday, more rain in the forecast for the next few days.  I am doing a quick drive by post as there's much to be done on the inside!  Today's project share is another card for my Christmas in July challenge, I finished on Saturday while I was at a crop and since I hadn't packed all that I needed I pulled something from my unfinished pile to work on.  It was mostly done just needed to add a focal point and sentiment.  The background sheet is from the Love Nicole time machine 6x6 pad and I used some glitter paper for the snow mound.  I used three Recollections flowers that I picked up on clearance I think two years ago and the sentiment came from a Simple Stories ephemera pack.  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #57 over at Cardz TV and Christmas in July challenge #362 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.  Thanks you for your visit and I hope you have a terrific Tuesday.

Sunday Musings

Hello and happy Sunday, I am doing a quick drive by post as I need to get moving.  TodayI am sharing my 4th card for my Christmas in July Challenge,  I can't seem to get a handle on this challenge.   I put the card together using sketch inspiration from the Fall to Layout  #79 Take 2 over at Palm Trees and Pogo Sticks.  I used more paper from my scrap stash, the pattern piece is from the My Mind's Eye Christmas Wish 6x6 pad.  I cut the circle and scallop circle with Spellbinders dies, the wreath came from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge and a mini stamped sentiment completes this clean and simple card.  I am sharing this card for the Christmas in July challenge over at Bitten by the Bug2 , the Add a Circle challenge #377 over  at  Die Cuttin' Divas and the Super Scraps challenge #361 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.   Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a wonderful week.

She's That Girl

Hello and happy Tuesday, it is going to be another really hot day outside so that means staying inside until I leave for the day. It won't be much cooler when I leave either but it is suppose to be a few degrees cooler today than yesterday!

Today's project share is a LO that I worked on while I was at the crop on Saturday, for some reason I can't ever really complete a project while I'm at the crop always need to add something else when I get home.  When putting this LO, I really just used mostly scraps of paper, the two pattern pieces came from the DCWV Homeroom Stack., tag was leftover from another project and the wooden veneers are from American Crafts.  I cut the title using the Graphically Speaking Cricut cartridge and the car is from the Locker Talk cartridge.

I sharing this LO for the Freestyle challenge #359 over at Hiding in my Craft Room and the Anything Goes challenge #111 over at Love to Scrap.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon.
