Monday Musings

 Hello Monday night, doing a quick drive by post before I go to bed! I meant to post earlier but I just spend my day doing other stuff. I put this card together using sketch inspiration from card sketch #299 over at  Sketch N Scrap, papers from my scrap stash, a cut apart for the sentiment, a Prima flower and finished by adding some enamel stickers. 

Thanks for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon.

Oh My Stars

 

Good Sunday morning, doing a quick drive by post as I have a long to do list today.  Today's card was created using sketch inspiration from the Sketch N Scrap card sketch #298 for June.  I used mostly papers from a Colorbok Old Glory paper pad, a Jolee jar sticker and some wood stars all items that have been in my stash for years! This is the only 4th of July card that I'll be making and it will have to be hand delivered! I have so many cards that need to go postal which means I will need to purchase more stamps soon.

Thank you for your visit, take care and I hope you will visit again soon.

Happy Mother's Day

 Hello and happy Sunday and Mother's Day! It has been an emotional day for me as this is the second year I am celebrating as a motherless child. I am sharing a card that I put together this morning using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap card sketch #297, pattern papers from Paper Studio, used a die set from an old Spellbinders Advent Calendar.  It had been sitting in my stash for a while as I picked up from a yard sale, used my Cricut to cut the sentiment and this card was done!  I still might send it to someone because as mothers we are to be celebrated everyday!

I am sharing this card for the May Anything Goes challenge over at A Cut Above and the Die Week challenge #822 over at Just Us Girls.

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

Thinking of You

Hello Tuesday, it has been a while; doing a quick drive by post to share another card. I created this card using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap challenge #296. This is another scrap busting project, where I just pulled random pieces of paper to use on the card. I cut the flower with a Momenta die, and stamped (heat embossed) the sentiment using  a Recollections stamp set. Finished the card by adding some enamel dots, going postal this week! I am sharing this card for challenge #291 over at the Tic Tac Toe challenge blog.  I used the middle column (die cut, wet emboss and layers)

Sunday Musings

 Hello and happy Sunday, although I haven't shared in a while I have been creating. I am still trying to finish the crafting challenge that I started last month, I am nearing the finish line.  Today I am sharing one of the layouts that I created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap challenge #324.  I just used miscellaneous papers and embellishments from my stash, the challenge was to journal about something that you are carrying into 2026. I choose to carry hope as last year was a bit challenging for me so I am hopeful that this year will be different.  I am trying to intentionally scrap more pictures of myself too!  I added a pull tab at the top that reveals my journaling.

Hi Friend

 

Hello,  Happy Indigenous Peoples Day and the start of a new work week.  Even though today is a holiday I am going into work as I need to take off on Friday. Today's project share is a card created using sketch inspiration from the second WCMD sketch shared over on Sketch N Scrap. I used some random papers from a Kiwi Lane card kit that someone gifted me some time ago, the struggle is real trying to get through my stash of crafty goodies!  I cut the focal point using the Create-a-Critter 2 Cricut cartridge and used a Fiskars stamp for the sentiment which I heat embossed.  Another card done to add to my stash.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge for weeks #720-721 over at Word Art Wednesday.

Word Card Making Day

 

Hello Sunday, yesterday was a bust as far as my play time!  I did manage to finish one card just as I could barely hold my eyes open.  For my card I used sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap World Card Making Day 2025;  I really like their sketches and inspiration. I just used some random papers from other recently created projects,  the leaf was cut using a Darice die and a piece of leaf embossed paper. Stamped the sentiment and added a few Gina Marie Design enamel dots; shopping my stash because I don't need any new crafting goodies!
