I am sharing this card for the stencil challenge #846 over at Just Us Girls.

Pink Hope

 

Hello Wednesday and in honor of survivors, those currently in the fight and those that have lost the battle I created this card for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I created this rocker style card using mostly paper scraps from the Me & My Big Ideas kit that I have had for several years., this one was gifted to me as I had used the one that I had originally purchased.  I really shopped my stash for the card, letter stickers from Dollar Tree, the ribbon sticker from Michael's, typed and  printed the sentiment on my computer and one of my first Spellbinders circle die sets.

Hello Wednesday, doing a quick drive by post as I meant to share yesterday. I have been busy finishing up my layouts for my quarterly goal! Today starts a new quarter and I already got plans this weekend to work on a few layouts as I don't have any holiday plans.

Cut a few embellishments, added some enamel dots and this was layout was done.

Tuesday Musings

 Hello Tuesday, doing another quick drive by post to share something a little different,  a junk journal page. One of our contract workers will be leaving this week and since we introduced her to junk journaling we decided to have everyone create a farewell journal  page where we all added a page or a note. She is loves to read so this is is why I created this book nook themed page.  I stenciled the background using the Taylored Expression Brick by Brick stencil, the Spellbinders Study Nook die set and a Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment.

CIU #338 - That's Funny

 Hello Friday, although it has been a short work week it has felt long!  Today's project share was created for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #338 is That's Funny, the challenge was to create something humorous; and for me that was indeed a challenge!   While sorting and de-cluttering my stash I  found some older never before used Sizzix Tim Holtz stamp and die sets so I decided to use the Cat Chat set.  The embossing folder was a part of the set too,  stamped and cut the cat, popped it on a polaroid die cut and added to the embossed layer. I used some glittered  letter stickers for the sentiment and this card was done! 

I am sharing this card for the monthly Anything Goes using a die challenge over at A Cut Above and the Just Us Girls challenge 3791 - Die Week.

I hope that you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your humorous project using a die cut.  The challenge starts today and ends Monday, September15, 2025 at noon PST.

Summer Fun

 

Hello and happy Saturday, it has been a while but I'm still pushing and trying create and share as life permits.  Today's card share is one that I created to share for the crafty dares challenge over on IG.  The challenge was to use the colors red, white and blue; summer theme and the third dare was crafter's choice.  I chose to use my postage collage die, this is becoming one of my favorites, I also used the Sizzix Time to Travel  die set  for the first time, it has been in my stash for a few years and the crab was a freebie with purchase die from scrapbook.com.  I am sharing this card for the Just Us Girls challenge #778 Die Week - Layers.

You're a Classic

 

It's Saturday night and I am back with my second share of the day.  This card was created using inspiration from one of the design team members over on Just Us Girls, the theme for challenge #716 was to CASE a one of their design team members.  Again I reached for papers that was used from recent projects with the exception of the vinyl that I used for the records.  Now that I am thinking about I do have some mirrored cardstock that I could have used.  The stamp and die set is an unbranded set that I had in my stash.  I also embossed the white layer with a sheet music folder which is hard to see in the picture even though I did ink it lightly.  This is one of those cards that look better in person.  I also shred this card for the music themed challenge hosted by 2crafters1 design over on YT and IG.

Continue to be safe and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
