Saturday Musings

 Hello Saturday morning, it's raining and I'd like to be in bed but there's too much to do! I'm stopping in to share my last graduation card of the season (hopefully). I used random items from my stash and paper that matched to school colors. This signature clean and simple card came together just as I planned and will be given to the recipient today as he is celebrated. I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash challenge #574 - Congratulations and the Tic Tac Toe challenge #293, where I used the center row (gold, free space and congrats sentiment).

Thank you for your visit, enjoy your holiday weekend and hurry back again soon!

Happy Birthday Cheryl

 

Stopping in today to share another card, that I created for one of my scrapping besties.  I used a mix of items that have been in my stash for a while including a cover plate (Bold Curves), some flowers cut with a Spellbinders die set, cut the sentiment using a scrapbook.com die set and finished by adding a few gems. It has some imperfections, need to figure out if the cover plate or the paper is the problem. 

I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash #570 - White Our and the April challenge to create a birthday or anniversary card over at Die Cut Divas.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon

Sending Love

 

Hello Saturday morning, doing a quick drive by post as I don’t want to forget. We are expecting  more Winter weather so I plan to stay in most of the weekend. Today’s card share used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge #666, pattern papers from Hone Bee Stamps, a Spellbinders Deckled Rectangle set, and a Coco and Reno envelope die for the envelope. Finished by using  a cut apart for the sentiment and a tiny Bo Bunny enamel heart.  This card came together nicely and I plan to get it along with some other cards in the mail soon! I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash challenge #566 - Love Me Do.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back soon.

Let”s Celebrate

 Hello and happy cold Wednesday, doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I created recently. I finally finished a 31-day challenge that I started last month and didn’t finish until Monday. Today’s card share uses a croc die and some older birthday themed paper. I really like how the card came out but I will need to make an envelope since the die is over sized. I am sharing this card for the Shopping Our Stash challenge #565 - Out with the Old and In with the New. My old item is the sentiment die from scrapbook.com and new item is the croc dies from Scrap Diva Designs. The mini frabic flowers are Crafter's Square from the Dollar Tree.  I am also sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge for weeks 736-737 over at Word Art Wednesday.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back soon.

 Hello Friday evening, stopping in to do a drive by post as I meant to share this card earlier this week. Today’s card share was created for a  FB challenge that I started last month and still haven’t finished. I used a Spellbinders dancing snowman die as the focal point. I still have quite a bit of items that I have never used  or want to revisit (shopping my stash) so I am always looking to participate in challenges. I might just be crafting Christmas all year!

I am sharing this card for the January 2026 Anything Goes over at A Cut Above and the Free is Good Challenge #564 over at Shopping Our Stash.

Thank you for your visit and hurry back again soon!

Hello and welcome to my first project share for My Twelve Days of Crafting Challenge.  I am doing this challenge with one of my crafting friends, rather than doing 12 days of Christmas which is what we usually do; we aren't limiting our projects to Christmas projects. I created this card using inspiration from the Shopping Our Stash challenge #561, A Quick Thank You; I think I did succeed in creating this card within the suggested 30 minute once I selected the papers and the dies that I wanted to used.  I used papers from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan  12x12 paper pad,  dies from Stampin Up and Scrapbook.com.

Thank you for your visit, be safe and hurry back soon.

CIU #342 - Thankful, Grateful, Blessed
