Love

 

Hello Tuesday, I am doing a quick share of another card that I recently created.   We should share and express love at anytime but February is when we celebrate Heart Health month and Valentines Day. I created my card using sketch inspiration from the Stick it Down group on FB, papers from the Recollections Girl Squad paper pad, a Recollections embossing folder and the Inspire (Spellbinders) Love Vine die for the focal point. I really shopped my stash on this one and it came together nicely and will be going postal soon;  I need to be more intentional in getting my cards in the mail!

I am sharing this card for the February Reds and Pinks challenge over at Die Cut Divas and the Tic Tac Toe challenge number 286 using the top row across (hearts, die cutting, red/pink).

Thank you for your visit and comment,  continue to be safe and hurry back again soon; 

Wednesday Musings

 

Hello and happy Wednesday, the last day of the month and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed!  Today's card share is one created using sketch inspiration from the Stick it Down July sketch over in their FB group.  The papers came from one of the Violet Studio paper pads, cut the flowers using the scrapbook.com Flower Market die set, added some bling to the flower ceners and a stamped sentiment and this card was done!  Another signature clean and simple card ready to go postal.  I am so far behind in creating my layouts, I really hope I can spend some time scrapbooking over the weekend. 

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

CIU #303 - Add a Sentiment

When putting my card together I used sketch inspiration from  this month sketch from the Stick it Down (FB) group.

Feel Better Soon

 Hello and happy Saturday, another day of gratitude because things could have been different.  I started this post yesterday but as life would have it I didn’t get the chance to share it.  I spent the day with my father at the hospital,  drove himself to the hospital on  Wednesday and he was well enough to be discharged yesterday.  I used sketch inspiration from the Stick it Down  monthly card sketch, some papers from a 6x6 paper pad that has been in my stash for a long time, the typewriter stamp is from a Jillibean Soup stamp set and the sentiment is a Newton's Nook stamp set.  Finished the card by adding a few random gems.  I am sharing this card over on IG for the 2Crafters1Design challenge, this week's challenge is a typewriter.

Thinking of You

Happy cold Monday and Happy MLK Day; lots going on here in the capital city so I am limiting my movement.   I'm doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I created using sketch inspiration from this month's card sketch over at Stick it Down.  I created this card for one of my co-workers who recently suffered the loss of her brother, he had been sick, it is never easy losing a love one but hopefully they can find some comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering. I used more scraps of papers from several companies, a Crafter's Companion stamp & die set for the flower and a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment.  I  have  alot going on but I still plan to work through these scraps of paper and finish off some paper pads.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a marvelous Monday.

Thinking of You

Hello and happy Thursday, heat and the possibility of more rain in today's forecast.  I am back today with another drive by post with a card requested by my daughter when she came in last night.  She wanted a card for a male co-worker who is mourning the loss of a friend.  I used sketch inspiration from the Stick it Down August card sketch.  The pattern paper is from the DCWV Natural 12x12 paper stack, used a MS butterfly punch and a Love Nicole die for the sentiment.  I still struggle when it comes to making cards for males.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return tomorrow as I will be sharing my latest design team project.  Take care.
