Tag Swap

 Hello, happy Monday, rain and wind in today’s  forecast!  I'm doing an afternoon quick driveby post to share something that I have been working on recently.  I am participating in a tag swap for one of my FB groups, first time and of course I was stressed, it has gone postal and marked delivered but the recipient hasn’t acknowledged receipt.  I used the a Recollections Christmas  Plaids Paper pad to cover the front of the tags, black card stock for the back and lots of different dies, stamps, rub-ons, stickers and ribbon!

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

CIU #214 - Christmas

 Hello and happy Friday after Thanksgiving! Today’s project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog, the theme for challenge #214 is Christmas.  The two sponsors for this challenge are: Creative Embellishments ($50 gift voucher) and STAMPlorations ($20 gift code).

When putting my card together I used sketch inspiration from  Atlantic Hearts challenge #396, pattern papers from the Echo Park Dots & Stripes Foil paper pack, some Recollections silver foil paper, the sentiment die from STAMPlorations,  a Sizzix die for the wreath and some Gina Marie enamel dots.

Now that you’ve seen my project I hope you will head over to the Cut it Up Challenge blog for more design team inspiration.   Create and share your Christmas themed project that uses a die for a chance to win some crafting goodness from one of our challenge sponsors.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, December 9, 2020 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and enjoy your weekend.

Wednesday Musings

 

Happy Wednesday, mild temps in today's forecast.  Today's quick project share is a card created using sketch inspiration from a challenge posted over on FB in the Scraps of Color Group.  I used papers from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 paper pad which was gifted to me from one of my scrapping besties! I colored the unity stamp with pencils, used a Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment, added a bow that I cut with a non-branded die and the card was done!  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #128 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit, stay safe as you celebrate the holiday and hurry back soon!

Christmas Magic

 

Hello Monday, mild weather temps in today’s forecast. I haven’t share but my family could really use some prayers and positive thoughts.  We are grateful and don’t take God’s grace and mercy for granted but sometimes the bumps in the road takes an emotional toll.  Today’s card share is another holiday card created using sketch inspiration from CAS(e) #399, pattern  papers from the America Crafts Jolly 6x6 paper pad and a Hampton Arts (Cam &Choke) stamp that I picked up last Christmas so this is another intentional use item. Another card done and will be going postal soon as my goal is to have the majority of my holiday cards in the mail  by December 1!

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe as you prepare for the holiday.  

Joy

 

Hello Saturday, nice temps in today’s forecast so I plan to get out to do some food shopping.  I am doing a quick drive by post to share another holiday card that turned out nothing like how I original planned!  I used a Sizzix TH Alterations embossing folder, a cut apart from the Pink Paislee Snow Village 12 x 12 paper pad and a sentiment die cut using my SLICE machine.  I am sharing this card for the embossing challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters. Although the end result was different from the original plan I still like it and it will be going postal soon!

Thank you for your visit, hurry back and stay safe! 

Hello Weekend

 Let the weekend begin as we prepare for next week’s Thanksgiving Holiday!  Nice temps in the forecast for the next few days so I hope to get some walking in.  Today’s project share is another holiday card created using some dies that I picked up during one of the sales at The Scrapping Cottage.  I used kraft card stock for the base, a piece of black and white plaid paper from the Recollections Christmas plaids paper pad and an unbranded die for the snowflakes.  I am sharing this card for the tic-tac-toe challenge over at Shopping Our Stash #433, I used the top row across (plaid, black&white and kraft) and the Anything Goes challenge #128 over at Cardz TV.

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