I used a Spellbinders die set for the balloons, random papers from my stash including a pattern sheet from Bazzill  School Days. Stamped the sentiment using white pigment ink and a Crafter's Square stamp.

Sunday Musings

 

Hello and happy Saturday, doing a quick drive by post to share a card created for someone that needed some encouragement. I used sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #700, papers from my scrap stash and a stamped sentiment from one of the American Crafts Bible Journaling sets. I didn’t add any gems since the card is going to a male. I am still using my stash, trying to organize and declutter so my posting is a little sporadic!

Friday Musings

 

Hello and welcome to the weekend! I am doing a quick drive by post to share another birthday card.  I created this card using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #692.  The patterned pieces of paper came from a Crafters Square paper pack, and the other papers are mostly scraps, the sentiment die is one that I have had for a while, finished the card by adding some sequins! This bright and cheery card will probably be added to my stash until I need a card for a kid.

I haven't had much time to play this week but it's the weekend and I hope to at least get some playtime! Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon.

Black History Month

 Hello and happy Wednesday, as February comes to an end I wanted share a card that I created for BHM, although I celebrate all year not just February.  This year marks the 100th year of officially celebrating Black History Month.

For my card I used sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday challenge #689.  I used items that have been in stash for years with the exception of the one piece of paper that I recently picked up from Michaels.  I made several projects using the one sheet of Recollections double sided paper.  I also used some random embossing folders, my Cricut to cut the sentiment and a Sizzix stamp set for the word celebrate which was heat embossed.

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

Wow, the struggle is real, life has dealt me a hand that has been hard to manage lately which means there just isn't time and my mojo seems to be lacking.  I'm doing a quick card share that I created using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #676. In my effort to de-clutter I am on a quest to purge some random papers; for this card I used some pattern papers from a My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad, a birthday hat and label die and a Woodware stamps set for the sentiment.  Another signature clean and simple card headed out the door this week!
