Tuesday Musings

Hello and Happy Tuesday, I am back today to share another holiday card that is going postal today!  I  am hoping that it arrives by Friday.  The inspiration for this card came from a design team member's post that was shared over at Scraps of Color, she posted that the sketch she used came was sketch #46 from Deconstructed Sketch.  I am all about clean and simple sketches so I decided to use it right away since I was making 4th of July cards; I only made three!  As previously shared I used papers from Recollections and the Paper Stack along with a few gems and stars; the sentiment is from the Summer Celebrations cricut cartridge.

I'm sharing this card for the anything goes challenge posted over at Use Your Stuff, they will have this challenge posted throughout the summer so you can participate/share too!

Take care and make it a great day!

Yummy

Yesterday I shared that I had participated in the Friday Night Chat Challenges over at Scraps of Color, today I am sharing the LO that I created.  We were given a sketch prompt, instructions to include four pictures, a title and journaling and anything else we wanted to include.

Today's LO uses pictures taken of our daughter as we were celebrating her first birthday.  This is before we started having the masses join us for her celebrations!  This was her first experience eating cake with frosting.  My son was away in college so it was just her dad and I there to share this experience and she still has and uses that bowl today!

I used the cricut cartridges Simply Charmed and Something to Celebrate to cut the title and the slice of cake.  The washi tape, stickers, gems and papers that have been in my stash forever.

Take care and have a great week.

Lazy Day

Saturday is almost over but I decided to still post this card that I just finished.  I was up late last night into this morning because I hung out online over at Scraps of Color chatting and working on challenges.  So today I was sleepy and didn't feel like doing much of anything since it was a cloudy, rainy and stormy day.

Today I am sharing a card that was inspired by challenge #403 over at Mojo Monday.  I used papers from Recollections and Paper Studio, I cut the sentiment  and the circle with the SLICE.  The little star gems have been in my stash forever!  I am also sharing this card for the any holiday challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room and the red, white and blue challenge over at Scraps of Color.

Take care and enjoy!

Friday Musings

Today's card has a wild and crazy story behind it, this is the short version!

While going through my inbox yesterday I saw a card on the Two Paper Divas blog using the CAS(E) this sketch #128 and I immediately decided I wanted to make a card using it.  What started out being a simple task turned into a cutting nightmare; I'm wondering if I need another trimmer.  I cut the card, stamped my sentiment and decided on my embellishments all before I came into the office.  Well long story short I messed up my cuts with the crazy trimmer that I keep in my office found some more paper and messed it up too.  All I was suppose to do once I got into the office was to add adhesive, embellish, snap the picture, and post; that is not what happened!  So I finally found some more paper and what happened the embellishments that I bought in for the other paper didn't work so I had to search through my stash at work for something to use, I think I need to add to my stash that I keep at work!  Enough said, I think its pretty and it's going postal to someone recuperating from surgery!

Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Moving On

Two weeks ago today we had an awesome time celebrating my daughter and her classmates as they said goodbye to Middle School and hello to High School.  Today's LO marks the end of that journey as this was the final act!  This is also the last LO that I will be sharing from her Middle School album.  I used as many pictures as I could even though some of her guest left before we started taking pictures.  We were joined by family and friends from near and far, her brother surprised her and came from Pittsburgh.  The only person missing was my dear sister Fay who was looking down from heaven cheering on her niece.

Because I used so many pictures I didn't have a lot of room for embellishments.  I used paper from the DCWV Homeroom stack along with a few Recollections stickers and other misc. embellishments.  I cut the title using my Cameo and my Expression.  I don't think the picture does the LO justice, the lighting and the paper choice made it hard to get a good picture.

Take care and have a grand day.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!  I am blessed and fortunate that I still have my father, my first hero and prince. I am so thankful for my father and the foundation that he set for us.  Today's project is a LO of my dad that I may or may not have shared before but since I shared it on FB this morning I decided to share it here too.  I went home to attend church with my dad this morning, it was a very good service and since the male chorus sings on third Sunday I got to here him sing a solo, I couldn't get a very good picture; I only had my phone so I need to be better prepared next time so I can do a more current LO.

Middle School Review

Hello and Happy Saturday, what's on your agenda for the weekend anything exciting?  I don't have too much going on except work and  Father's Day.  I have just one more LO to finish and I will be done with my daughter's middle school album, I'm glad because it has started to wear on me.  Today I'm sharing one of the last LOs that I completed, it is out of order because it is essentially the last LO of the book.  I used misc. pictures from throughout the last three school years, nothing too special just some random pictures.  I used thickers for the title, stickers, metal embellishments, paper from the Homeroom paper stack and some cuts from the Silhouette store.

Take care and have a great weekend!
