Happy Birthday Justin

Hello Sunday, today is my son's birthday so I am sharing one of the cards that I made for him!  I mailed them last week but probably not in time for him to receive them.  I hope he has an awesome day celebrating and we are looking forward to him coming home for a visit later this weekend because his little sister will be celebrating her birthday on Saturday.  I need to hurry and make her card too!  I used color pencils to color the stamp which is one of my favorites from V's Sweet Ideas.  The black and white pattern paper is from a 8x8 pad from The Paper Studio, all the papers used and the brads have been in my stash for ever.

Take care and have a great week, hope you'll come back soon!  I am going to spend some of my day finishing up my LOs for the month of January.

Friday Musings

Wow, welcome to the weekend, the kids go back to school today at their regular time and I am planning to go into work tomorrow morning.  I don't normally work weekends but sometimes my desk dictates that I go.  I am back today with another card made using the same paper pad, just one more project to complete and this paper pad with be history. I used scraps of paper  and a punch for the hectagons, placed them on a card base, popped a stamped sentiment and added a few sequins and the card was done!  I am sharing this card for challenge #208 over at  Use Your Stuff.  The week's challenge is Sequins or Glitter and their design team shared some great projects!

Take care, be safe and enjoy your weekend.

Wednesday Wanderings

Hello and happy Wednesday, we are still working our way through the blizzard.  I went back to work yesterday and the federal government opened back up today!  I'm not sure the kids will be going to school at all this week!  We are still waiting for someone, anyone to come plow our street but maybe the warmer temps will have to do.  I am back today to share another card that I made using the Echo Park This & That paper pad, I cut the polaroid die with my cameo and heat embossed the stamped sentiment.  I really like how the card came out and it will probably be going postal soon!

Monday Musings

I am back this snowy Monday to share another birthday card, I have been I the house almost around the clock since I got in Friday around noon.  I am so ready for this snow to be gone because I am sitting around eating myself today.  I have lots that I could be doing but all I have been doing is eating and sleeping.  Today I am sharing a birthday card that I put together using paper from the  Echo Park This & That 6x6 paper pad.    I cut the owl using the Create a Critter cricut cartridge, the oval with a Spellbinder die, stamped a sentiment and added some wood veneer stars and this card was done!  I have created several  other cards using this pad since being snowed in, I hope to finish using this pad within the next few days.  I am still hoping my LO mojo will return soon.  Take care, I hope you will visit again soon.

Happy Birthday Alexia

Happy Birthday Sister, despite the snow storm Jonas, I hope you have a wonderfully blessed day and awesome year!  I am sharing your card here because you won't receive it for another few days!

We are snowed in, the wind is blowing and I am not feeling well.  I was in the bed all afternoon once I got in yesterday and woke up last night and was up until about 2:30 this morning.  I haven't felt much like playing but I needed to finish the card that I am sharing today.  Today my youngest sister celebrates a birthday milestone, she is member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority so  that's why I chose red as the dominant color.  I created another shaker card using more paper for the Recollections With Love 6x6 paper pad along with sequins, ribbon, a few pearls, a stamped sentiment and a dress form
cut from the CTMH Artiste cricut cartridge.

Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Happy Birthday Chiquetta

Hello Friday, everybody in my house  is sleeping in except me, I am about to get dressed and head in to work.  I am going in early so I can leave once the snow starts!  Today I am sharing the birthday card that I made for one of the card angels, her  birthday is today and of course I didn't get it in the mail so that it would arrive on time!  I did another gate fold card using more paper from my scrap stash, ribbon for the band and a sticker for the inside greeting.   I hope Chiquetta has a wonderfully blessed birthday!  I did manage to get a fairly decent picture of the card open and closed.

Be safe, stay warm and enjoy your weekend!

Shaker Card

Hello and happy Thursday, it is so cold and we are bracing ourselves for a snow storm.  I still need to pick up a few items from the grocery store, I am not looking forward to the long lines this afternoon! Today I am sharing a Valentine's Day shaker card that I put together over the weekend, I have just a few more V-Day cards and then I'll be done.  My card is one of the non-bulky shaker cards, I used my fuse tool (which is always a nightmare), I can't seem to apply to correct amount of pressure  I used a Spellbinders die for the window cut out, added a die cut from the Wild Card cricut cartridge, a few gems and a stamped sentiment and the card was done!  I think the paper pad that I used came from the Recollections With Love 6x6 paper pad  Take care and I hope you'll stop by again soon.
