Lidia

Today's post is a little late as I finished the LO this morning before heading to work but didn't have time to take the picture!  This LO uses pictures of a sculpture that sits outside the aquarium in Virginia Beach.  On a recent trip while waiting for the rest of the 7th graders to arrive we took pictures of the sculpture and the seals in the outside pool.  Lidia the seal was made from trash that washed ashore from the beach.  The pattern paper is from the K&Co designer pad, the seal was cut using the Zoo Day cricut cartridge and the flower is from the Recollections simply pastel collection.

Whatever Wednesday

Welcome to today's post nothing too exciting going on but lots to do and never enough time. Its warm and humid outside and they are calling for a storm this afternoon.  My neighbor has been in the hospital so I needed to make him a card.  So while I was sitting around on Sunday at my in-laws I decided to make a quick run to the store and get a few things to make him a card, not that I needed anything but I hate sitting around doing nothing when I have a ton of things that I could be doing.  If I had been driving my own car I would have had a craft bag in the trunk, so from this point on when I leave home I'll be sure to grab my bag!  Today's card was  made primarily  from items found at the $1 spot at AC Moore, the only exception being the markers that I used to color the flowers.

Thank You

Today's project is one that I completed for a recent project challenge over at Scraps of Color for the Friday Night Chat Challenge group.  I used the sketch inspiration from Clean & Simple Stamping sketch number 296.  I used a kraft base, a dress form cut from the Artiste cricut cartridge, dry embossing,  roller stamp stitching, ribbon, buttons and pearls. The sentiment is a CTMH stamp.  I'm feeling a little anxious as this challenge nears the end!

Field Trip

Hello Monday, this LO is the last LO for my daughter's 7th grade school year so I'm happy that I have been able to complete that part of her album .  I still have one LO from her 6th grade year to complete, not sure if I'll get to it during this challenge.  Today's LO uses a picture that she took with some of the school mates during a recent field trip to the Aquarium in Virginia Beach   I used some WeR chevron feelin' groovy paper for the base and because of the colorfulness of the picture I didn't want to over embellish the LO. So I just matted the picture, added a flower, ribbon, buttons and thickers for the title.  I like how it came out!

Exclusively for Men

I started this challenge last week with two Father's Day cards so I am back today with two more cards that can be given to men/boys.  I will be linking this post to Mema's Crafts for her monthly challenge, this month's challenge is to create a masculine themed project.  I deleted my Father's Day pictures in error so I couldn't do a LO for this year. The top card is one where I really like the pattern paper so I didn't add a sentiment, the paper came from the K&Co designer paper pad so I just added some Candy Shoppe jellies to the layers.  The birthday card was made with pattern paper from an Echo Park 6x6 paper pad, some TH gears, ribbon and more jellies.  Wishing you and yours a wonderfully blessed week.

Pretty as a Picture

Hello Saturday and welcome to the 7th day of my blog challenge in honor and memory of my beloved oldest sister.  I am super excited that I have been able to share with you and complete some projects.  Today I am sharing a LO that I shared on FB a few days ago for Tiare's Desk to Done challenge; most of my projects are usually cross posted!

The pictures used were taken earlier this month as we were headed to an orientation event for a summer program my daughter is attending.  I really like how the LO came together, the pattern paper is from a K&Co Kelly Panacci designer paper pad, the title and camera are files from the Silhouette online store and the stickers are from Me and my Big Ideas.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.   I'm planning  to attend our city's Juneteenth celebration with my daughter and a  fundraising event  with my DH for his fraternity.

Thinking of You

Hello Friday, today I'm sharing a card that I recently made and sent to someone.  The person is mourning the loss of her mother, I haven't spoken with her but wanted to let her know that I was lifting her and her family in prayer.  This simple card came together rather quickly and I like how it turned out.  Its just a card base with some flowers that have been in my stash for a while, the pearls are from Recollections.  I'm not sure about the stamp that I used  for the sentiment.  Take care and have a  wonderful weekend!
