Game Day

I'm back with my second post of the day sharing another 8 1/2 x 11 LO documenting Baby Girl's attendance at her first football game at James Madison University.  I have way too much stuff and recently I have been buying too many clearance items at AC Moore and Hobby Lobby; I have to get back on my no craft spending because I am hoarding rather than using.  On to what I used to create my LO, the pattern sheet used for base is  from Love Nicole (AC Moore) , used some Thickers for the title andsome  recently purchased stickers for the other embellishments.  I even tried to add some ink splatters (hard to see in the pic) and the strip of gold washi is from Recollections.  I'm sharing this LO for the Anything Goes challenge #98 over at CardzTV.

Take care, hope you'll return soon!

CIU #183 - Into the Woods

Hello and happy Friday, nice temps in the forecast.  Today's project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog for challenge #183, the theme is Into the Woods and our sponsor is Pink and Main.

This is another one of those projects where I struggled to create something within the limits of the theme, I think maybe I was over thinking the whole woods concept!  So I just decided to get inspiration from some of my cartridges and paper scraps, of which I have a way too many.  I used a WeR Memory Keepers wood grain embossing folder as my base, used the owl from the Nate ABCs cartridge, a Gina Marie die set for the moon and stars and a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment.  I even colored the leaves using a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen.

Now that you've seen my card I hope you will stop by the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration.  Join our challenge by sharing your into the woods project using a die cut for a chance to win a surprise prize from Pink and Main.  The challenge starts today and ends on Wednesday, October 2, 2019 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend!

Fat Lips

Hello and happy Wednesday, nice temps as we are about to change seasons.  Today's project share is the LO documenting Baby Girl's wisdom teeth removal.  I used more paper from an older kit, a metal tag that has been in my stash for years, cut the title and lips using the Don Juan Cricut cartridge and the Dr. Check-up cartridge for the teeth.  Even though I have completed some LOs outside of her high school album I am still planning to have it completed by next month! 

Thank you for your visit, hope you will come back soon, I will be sharing my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog on Friday.

Happy 18th

Hello and happy Monday, sun shining and a forecast for low humidity as we are in the last week of summer.  Today's project share is a birthday card created for our nephew who celebrated his 18th birthday on Friday.  When I originally started creating this card I had planned to use another sketch from Try Stampin on Tuesday but in the interest of time I decided to use sketch #425 instead.  I used mostly scraps to create this card, music themed pattern piece of paper has been in my stash for a long time,  I cut the circle using a Spellbinders die and the numbers using a non-branded die,  the sentiment stamp is from the JoAnn's ms sparkle & co line, hand cut the tag and added some hemp cording.  I'm sharing this card for the challenge #437 - Birthday over at Die Cuttin' Divas.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you have a marvelous Monday!

First Time Voter

Hello and happy Saturday, cooler temps in the Commonwealth for the last few days.  Today I am headed to another crop, hope to get at least three LOs completed.  Today's project share is another 8 1/2 x 11 LO documenting the first time Baby Girl voted, during the primary election in June.  I used sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap #184 and papers from a very old Lisa Bearnson kit.  I am sharing this LO for the Anything Goes challenge #98 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Happy Birthday

Hello Wednesday, back with my second post for the day.  My original post had been scheduled since Sunday and I didn't notice that I failed to mention two significant events that occurred today.  Today marks the 18th anniversary of the 911 terrorist acts, we shall always remember.  Today also marks what would have been  my FIL's 81st birthday.  So I decided to share a birthday card for my second post using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #520, pattern papers from the Graphic 45 Celebrate 6x6 paper pad, a Stampabilities stamp for the sentiment and some Gina Marie enamel dots.

Senior Prom

Hello and happy Wednesday, wow I'm on a roll sharing on my blog three days in a row!  Today's project share is a double LO created for Baby Girl's high school album.  I'm going to a crop on Saturday and I hope to get more pages done, I have a new deadline so let's hope I can meet it.  When I document a story it is more important that the pictures tell the story so I usually don't use a lot of embellishments.  For this LO I used the Formal Occasion  Cricut cartridge, Recollections and Paper Studio stickers, trim from the Target dollar spot,  and finally an actual admission ticket.  All of these pictures were taken before she actually went to the prom!  I'm sharing this LO for the September Anything Goes #125 over at Love to Scrap challenge blog.

Thank you for your visit, have a wonderful Wednesday!
