Friday Musings

Hello and happy Friday, looking forward to the weekend!   I am still not feeling well and I plan to rest especially since I need to get ready for next weekend.  Today I am sharing another card that was requested for someone with cancer,  three sisters have been diagnosed and treated for three different cancers; I will be sending cards to all three of them.  The sketch inspiration for the card came from sketch #264 over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  I used paper from the My Mind's Eye Indie Chic 6x6 paper pad, I have just a few pieces left and that pad will be done.  The stamp is from the Creative Card Angel from Pink Bow Ties, it was created exclusively for the FB group.

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Monday Musings

Hello and happy Monday, I can't believe I shared shared since last Wednesday!  I made some cards last week that went postal on Saturday but I didn't take the time to create a post for them.  I'm still hoping I can get some time in soon to work on my LOs.  We had a fun weekend as our daughter went to her first high school homecoming dance and my DH and I went to another event on the same evening.  December is a busy month so I'll be putting in overtime getting ready for everything. Today I am sharing another card created for the FB group, going postal later today.  I can't remember the company or name of the paper that I used but it is a 6x6 pad that I picked up from Tuesday Morning earlier this year.  The stamp is from the card group stamp from Pink Bow Ties, a MS butterfly punch and some Recollections pearls.

Take care and enjoy your week!

It is turning out to be a really busy week trying to finish getting ready for this weekend.  I also had another not so restful night, it is actually 3:30 am and I am awake working on this post.  I am back today to share a style of the card that I have been meaning to try for some time, the inspiration came from this week's Mojo Monday sketch #426.  I cut the base at 6x7 and scored it at 3.5 so that means I'll make an envelope too.  I used papers from the Heidi Swapp Favorite Things 6x6 paper pad with a flower from Recollections and  a Pink Bow Ties stamp.   I am so proud to have finished another card going postal with the next few days.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello Sunday

I trust that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving sharing with family and friends.  I did and I am so very tired but I still must press on.  I did a little shopping over the weekend only because December is a very busy month for us socially.  We have parties, galas and my daughter has her first high school homecoming dance; so that meant dresses and shoe had to be purchased so no money for crafting goodies!  I didn't need anything since I already have more than I will probably ever use.  

Today's card is one that has already gone postal to someone involved in an accident, made it for the FB card group using sketch inspiration #313 from Crazy4Challenges..  I used paper from the Ki Autumn Flowers paper pad along with stamps from the Creative Card Angels stamp set from Pink Bow Ties created especially for our FB group!

Take care and have a wonderful week.

Hello Thursday

It's raining outside but it is warm, love these nice temperatures in the Fall; I am not looking forward to Winter.  Well let the countdown begin, one week until Turkey Day!  Today's card is one that I put together for the FB card group, it is going postal to someone that recently suffered a loss.  I used paper scraps from another card that I made recently, the paper is from Making Memories and the stamp is from the Pink Bow Ties creative card angel set.  Added a few pearls and this card was done. I am sharing this card for the Super Scraps Saturday challenge #225 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Hello Tuesday

I am back today to share a birthday card that I put together using a stamped image that I colored during a recent FB challenge.  The stamp is from the set called Sorority from Pink Bow Ties,  I have had it for a while so I am not sure whether it is still available.  I put this card together this morning for one of the challenges that I received in my email yesterday from one of my scrapping besties. The Anything Goes challenge was posted over at Seize the Birthday.  All items used on this card have been in my stash for some time with the exception of the Off the Grid paper from Colobok which I picked up last month in a discount store called Ollie's

Take care and remain prayerful for the world, our country and families including mine!

Monday Musings

Where does the weekend go?  I can't seem to do all that I have in my mind to get done over the weekend before its time to come back to work.  I had originally planned to get myself organized and ready for this week's crop but that didn't happen which means I'll try to devote some time each day this week in hopes that I won't be stressing on Friday night!  I have decided I probably won't work on any projects this week just organize and make kits so I can make the best of my day!  I already have projects lined up for my blog this week.

Today I am sharing one of the cards that I put together for someone that suffered a loss last week, I used paper from a Momenta paper pad, some ribbon, a few gems and a stamped sentiment from Pink Bow Ties and the card was done!

Take care and have a Marvelous Monday!

Hello Friday

Today I am sharing a project using a stamp that I have been hoarding, I have way too much stuff that just sits unused.  The stamp used on the card is from the Kinky Girl set and the sentiment is from the Sorority set both from Pink Bow Ties.  One of my problems is that I can't really color which is strange because I don't have a problem using crayons but when it's time to use markers and colored pencils I usually wind up tossing the project into the trash.   I used Spectrum markers to color the stamp and  added stickers to the headband.  I used some of the leftover paper from the Easter LO so I am sharing this card for the Super Scraps Saturday #198 challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Today we are going to Virginia Beach for college graduation ceremonies and celebrations for two young women.  Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Hello Sunday

I can't believe it, I've shared on my blog three days in a row!  Today's post uses a stamp set that I have had in my stash for about five months, I recently purchased two more stamps from Pink Bow Ties so I decided I should use the first set before I use either of the two new sets. The card base is 5.5 x 5.5 and the pattern paper is from the Hero Art Ki Color Crush 6x6 paper pad, the ribbon, charm and gems from my stash.  I like how this card came out so I am looking forward to using my other new stamps.

 Sharing this card for week#43 Anything Goes blog challenge over Scraps of Color.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful week.
