Father's Day

Hello and happy Tuesday, more rain in the forecast for us today.  I'm back from a holiday weekend, I was so busy I didn't have time to craft or post.  Today I am sharing a card that I finished on Friday night and I'm really pleased with the outcome.  I cut the car using the CTMH Artfully Sent cricut cartridge (so happy that I used it within days of receiving it); two different embossing folders a stamp sentiment and a few embellishments and the card was done!  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #319 over at Die Cuttin' Divas, the Any Holiday challenge #302 over Hiding in my Craft Room and the Card Crazy Crafters Anything Goes challenge #2 over at Cardz TV.  Thank you so much for your visit and I hope you'll come back again soon.

Worlds Best Father

Hello and happy Friday, I think we just might get away with no rain today.   Today I am sharing my first Father's Day card for the year, I need to step it up a bit so I can get them done and mailed on time.   I am super excited because I made the card using the CTMH Artfully Sent cricut cartridge which was recently gifted to me by one of my scrappin' BFFs.  I am so thankful for the kindness and generosity of my friends.  The inspiration for wanting to make this card came after I watched a video from Joy over at Obsessed with Scrapbooking earlier this week.  I definitely need some more practice using this cartridge, The manual says you can cut the card at a size 7 but I couldn't so I cut it at 6.75.  I only have the Expression because I prefer  cutting directly from the cartridge.  I am sharing this card for the masculine challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.  Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Whatever Wednesday

Hello and welcome, it has been a while since I had a whatever Wednesday post!  More rain and cooler temps again today.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together using this week's sketch from Mojo Monday.  I created this card using  scraps of paper from my stash, the pattern paper came from the My Mind's Eye Happy Day 6x6 paper pad.  The stitched circle die  with the sentiment is another die from China, I added some party pink glimmer mist to the card base, added a few sequins and the card was done.  I am still shopping my stash, day 24 of no craft shopping.  Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful Wednesday.

Monday Musings

Hello and happy Monday, it is cloudy and rainy here.  I don't feel like working, I'd rather be in the bed with the covers pulled over my head!  My daughter left for her minimester this morning and of course we were late leaving  home because we were up late last night finishing up some last minute packing.  Today's card is one that I created using some of the unbranded dies ordered from China, they were gifted to me by one of my scrappin' BFFs that ordered duplicates.   I just cut the top layer with the die three times, stamped the sentiment and added some colored sticker dots, colored the card base under the cutouts  with TH distress inks and this card was done.   I'm sharing this card for the Cardz TV Mailbox Smiles Anything Goes Challenge #2.  Take care, I hope you'll come back again soon.

Celebrating Friends

Hello Saturday, another warm day in the forecast.  Lots going on and I am tired,  not enough time to play or post. Today I am sharing a card that I finally finished last night using sketch #497 from Mojo Monday.  I used paper from The My Mind's Eye Paris & Co 6x6 paper pad, flowers from Recollections pearls in center from. HL and the sentiment cut from the Beyond Birthdays cricut cartridge.  I created this card for the First and Third challenge over at Scraps of Color..  Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Tuesday Musings

Hello and happy Tuesday, more nice weather in the forecast!  Today I am sharing a shaker card that I created for a sweet seven year old little princess who is celebrating her birthday this month!  The cupcake pattern paper is from the My Minds Eye Hootenanny 6x6 paper pad.   I used the Enjoy stamp and die set from Jillibean Soup for the first time it had been in my stash for a few months. Since I am on a no craft spending challenge I am shopping my stash which is good since I have goodies that haven't been opened/used.  I am sharing this card for the Cardz TV Card Crazy Crafters Anything Goes Challenge #1 and challenge #264 - Metallics over at Use Your Stuff, I use lots of sequins in my shaker!   Thank you for your visit, wishing you a terrific Tuesday!

Happy Mother's Day

Hello and happy Sunday the forecast for today is nice but I am keeping it simple.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together using sketch #496 from Mojo Monday. The pattern paper is from a My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad, can't remember the name since I pulled it from my scraps.  The sentiment stamp is from Stampendous which is one of my favorites.  I am also sharing this for the challenge #300 - Super Scraps over at  Hiding in my Craft Room.  Thank you for your visit, enjoy celebrating you and the mother(s) in your life.
