Thinking of You

Hello Saturday, I am back today sharing a card that was inspired by the weekend challenge over on Stampin' Girls Gone Wild, I shared this card for a challenge over at Embrace Your Art.  I used pattern paper from a very old Making Memories 6x6 pad,  I am not sure I will ever use all of it!  For layering I used the leftover brown paper from the card I shared yesterday.  I cut the sentiment using my George Cricut cartidge (something I haven't done in a long time), added a Recollections flower, ribbon/bow,  some gems and the card was done.  It will be going postal to someone that recently suffered a loss .  Thank you for your visit and enjoy your weekend.

Friday Musings

Hello and happy last Friday of 2016!  This week has really gone by extremely fast, I really need to take some time off so I can get some things done or rather make an attempt.  Today I am sharing a New Years card that I put together last night using sketch inspiration from challenge #303 over at Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday.  I used pattern paper from a Paper House 6x6 pad that I picked up last year from Michaels and the solid paper brown paper is from Core'dinations.  I cut the 2017 using the Dates and Days Cricut cartridge, added some Mister Huey gold color mist (you can't see it in the picture) and used a Hero Arts stamp and this card was done.  I'm also sharing it for challenge #281 -Any Holiday over at Hiding in my Craft Room.  Take care, be safe and enjoy your new years festivities.

Season's Greetings

Hello and happy Tuesday, nice temps here today but the forecast calls for rain later.  I'm back today to share another holiday card,  I opted not to share some of the cards until the recipient received them.  I had mixed feelings about this one because I am still trying to blend the ink smoothly and transition from one color to another, did say that correctly!  This is just another technique that I need to practice more since I really like it.   I used TH distress inks and Recollections flowers that I purchased during last year's Michael's clearance/grab bags!  Thank you for your visit, take care and enjoy the rest of your holiday season.

Merry Christmas

Hello and happy Sunday, greetings and well wishes to you and your family today and everyday.  Today I ma sharing another holiday card that I made this year, I used Recollections printed cardstock and some Studio 8 glitterd card stock which was used to cut the die.  The die is one of the Crafter's Companion dies that I picked up from Tuesday Morning.  This was one of my favorite cards, I hope the recipient enjoyed it.  Take care and enjoy your day.

Coal Ash

Just a few days away from Christmas, I trust that all is well and that you and your family are looking forward to a wonderfully blessed holiday.  Today I am sharing a LO that I put together for our daughter's high school album.  It uses pictures taken last year when the freshmen class did a community presentation on Coal Ash.  I have just a few more LOs and I will be done with her 9th grade year, she is growing up way too fast!  The LO came together quickly as I followed sketch #81 from Sketch N Scrap when I participated in the Rocking Holiday Crop earlier this month that they hosted on facebook.  I used my WeR Memory Keeper Sew Easy Stamper for the stiching,  the My World cricut cartridge and some American Crafts wood veneer arrows.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon.

Happy Birthday Danita

Hello and happy Thursday,  I am back today to share a birthday card for one of my scrappin' besties! I was in the middle of making holiday cards when I realized I hadn't made her card so I just pulled some papers from my stash and created this card for her and in my haste to take the picture so I could get it in the mail it came out a little blurry.  I think the paper is from a from a Momenta 6x6 paper pad, a Recollections flourish and the sentiment and foliage are TH dies.  I always feel intimidated when I have to make her a card because her cards are always so beautiful; oh well such is life!    I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Take care and have a wonderful Thursday.

You're Snow Much Fun

Wow it has been over a week since I shared on my blog and I don't really know why since I did have projects that I could share!  Today I am sharing a card that I put together using a stamp that I received in a holiday gift swap, my daughter was nice enough to do the coloring for me.  The papers came from my scrap stash, the sentiment stamp came from the Cardz TV stamp set Snow Day that I won in a challenge and the snowflakes were gifted to me as well.  I really like how the card came out, I think the embossing of the sentiment really stands out!  I'm sharing this card for the Masculine challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll return soon!
