National Hot Chocolate Day

Hello and happy Friday night, just getting back in from an emergency trip home to support my mother.  Today’s super cute card was created as part of a sketch challenge over on the Scraps of Color FB page.  When I saw the sketch this morning it was right after I saw that it was National Hot Chocolate Day so I decided to make this card in the early hours of the morning.  I  was super excited since I don’t drink coffee but love hot chocolate.  I used papers from the Pebbles Girl Squad 6x6 paper pad and a CTMH stamp for the sentiment.  I am sharing this card for challenge #107 at Cards TV.

Thank you for your visit, hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Happy Birthday

Hello and happy Thursday, more seasonal temps in today's forecast with peaks of sunshine.  Today's project share is a birthday card created for one of my scrappin' besties grandmother who will be celebrating her 90th birthday in March.  I used sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap  card sketch #162, papers and ephemera from the Jen Hadfield My Bright Life collection.  I'm thinking I might need to add some gems or enamel dots before I put it in the mail.  Embellishments are a part of my intentional items that I need to use on as many projects as possible.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you'll return soon!

Hello Friend

Hello and happy Wednesday, seasonal temps in today's forecast.  Today's card share is a friend card created using sketch inspiration from Mojo Monday #529.  The papers came from the Pink Paislee Bella Rouge  6x6 pad (only a few sheets left), the sentiment is from the  Cardz TV This 'n' That stamp set and the faux pearls are from Recollections.  I used a Sizzix die to cut the scallop square for the sentiment.  I had a hard time getting a good picture because of the colors and lighting.  I'm sharing this card for the Friendship challenge #390 over at Use Your Stuff and the Anything Goes challenge #106 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit and hope you'll return soon!

Monday Musings

Hello and happy Monday, cold and sunny in today's forecast.  As we mourn the loss of a sports icon, his daughter and seven other individuals we are reminded to never take anything for granted and live each day to its fullest.  Today's project share is a birthday card created for the Birthday Bash Card challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  I put this card together while I was at Saturday's crop and forgot to make note of which My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad I used.  The cake, candle, and sentiment all came from an older Sizzix stamp and die set.  I used some pearls from the Hobby Lobby wedding section that I picked up on clearance a few years ago.  I'm just trying to use up some items that have been sitting way too long!

Thank you for your visit and if you happen to see my friend Gloria wish her a happy birthday!

Something New

Hello and happy Sunday, mild weather day here in our area.  I went to a crop yesterday but I can’t say that I got too much done.  I did manage to finish this card using a napkin given to us by our host, this is something that was on my craft to do list and now I can say that it’s done!  After watching numerous videos I decided to use the quick and simple technique for applying the napkin to the card stock.  The napkin was so pretty that it was easy, I just gathered papers, dies and a stamp for the sentiment; made a few cuts and the card came together quickly.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will return soon.

CIU #192 Get Well Soon

Hello and happy Friday, more seasonal temps in the area with some rain in the forecast soon.  Today’s project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #192 is Get Well Soon and our sponsor is Digital Delights by Louby Lou..

For my card I used more intentional items from my stash, the honeycomb embossing folder had been sitting in my stash unopened for a few years, all papers used came from the scrap stash with the exception of the base.  The digital sentiment is from our sponsor Digital Delights by Louby Lou. I cut the bee using the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge and the enamel dots are from Paper Studio.

I hope you'll head on over to the Cut it Up challenge for design team inspiration, create and share your Get Well Project for a chance to win a gift certificate  from our sponsor.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, February 5, 2020 at Noon EST.

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

Just Because

Hello and happy Thursday, another cold day here in the commonwealth.  Wishing my sister Alexia a happy birthday; not sure if she reads my blog or not!  Today I am sharing a card that I created using a sketch shared by Craft with Te last week.  I used the last few scraps of paper from the My Mind's Eye Happier 6x6 paper pad, a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment and some Recollections enamel hearts.
Another card created and ready to go postal!

Thanks for your visit, I hope you'll stop by tomorrow as I will be sharing my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.
