CIU #246 - Snowmen

 Hello and happy Friday, the last weekend in February!  Today's project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #246 is Snowmen and the sponsor is Oddball Art.

I used the Chilly Willy snowman from the challenge sponsor and colored him with alcohol markers, used the Pink & Main stitched rectangle die set, some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and a sentiment from a Cardz TV stamp set.  The sketch used for inspiration is #48 rom Paper Play Sketches and the papers are from DCWV.

Now that you've seen my project I hope you'll visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your Snowman project using a die for a chance to win a $10 gift code from the challenge sponsor's website.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, March 9 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and hurry back soon.

St Patrick's Day

 

Hello and happy Sunday evening, doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts #460.  I have mixed feelings about it but it's no turning back now because it is going postal tomorrow.  I used papers from a DCWV Year Round  paper stack, a Fun Stampers Journey stamp for the sentiment, a Sizzix die for the label and the Create a Critter 2 cartridge for the four leaf clover; added a few Recollections gems and the card was done.

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

Thinking of You

 Hello Friday, I have been trying to post all week but as life would have it I didn't get around to it.  My one word for 2022 is Balance and I am no where near finding it!  Today's drive by post is a card created using Craftsmart white pigment ink and a stamp to create the background before cutting the pieces for the card base.  For some reason I just can't get the ink to dry completely, I always have smudges. The sentiment stamp is an older Stampin' Up stamp and the flower is from Recollections.  I have been working on sympathy cards this week.  I am sharing this card for  challenge #229 over at Creatalicious Challenges.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful week.  Take care and hurry back!

Heart Happy

 Hello Sunday, the start of a new week and a chance to do and be better.  Today’s drive by post is of a card created using sketch inspiration from Try Stampin’ on Tuesday. I used a Darice Hearts and Arrows embossing folder, DCWV papers for the cover and heart, the heart and sentiment stamp and banner are unbranded items from my stash.  Finished the card by adding a few Paper Studio gems and will be ready to go postal when needed!  I'm sharing this card for the Hearts/Love challenge over at Use Your Stuff.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you visit again soon.  Be safe and take care as you go about living your best life!

Until We Meet Again

 

Hello and happy Saturday, I'm doing a quick drive by post as I have a busy day.  Today I am sharing a LO created using sketch inspiration from Sketch N Scrap #242.  This LO documents what I did on February 2, 2022 although it was a celebration for a sad event, the time and love shared by family is important.  I used papers from the Park Lane Je ne sais quoi 12x12 paper pad, Amy Tangerine letters for the title, a heart die set for and a Sizzix die set to cut the numbers for the date.  Another LO completed toward my quarterly goal!
