Thursday Musings

 

Wow, is it Friday yet?  This has been one of those weeks, I'm still having a hard time just can't seem to get anything done.  I know there is a process but feeling stuck is hard, I really need to get my thank you cards in the mail. Today's card was created using inspiration for Atlantic Hearts sketch #626 and some Creative Memories papers,  gems, flower and a stamped image.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back again soon.

Sending Hugs

 

Hello and Happy Easter! I started this post yesterday but as life would have it I didn't get to finish.  Aside from my emotions being all over the place I can't figure out how to get pass this being stuck.  Today's card share was created using the nested peeps die, a Gina Marie Designs flower die set and other items from my stash.  I added buttons to the flower centers as part of a challenge on IG.  I am also sharing this card for the Hippity Hop challenge #545 over at Shopping Our Stash.

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

CIU #328 - Starts with a "C"

 Hello Friday, let the weekend begin! Today's project share was created for challenge #328 over at the Cut it Up challenge blog.  This week's challenge is Starts with a "C" and I used a camera die.   When putting my card together I used sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge # 625. The pattern papers came from a Crafter's Square pack and the camera die is from Amy Tangerine; it has been in my stash a really long time.  

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration; create and  share your Starts with a "C" project. The challenge starts today and ends on Monday, April 28, 2025 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderfully blessed Easter.  Take care and hurry back soon.

Monday Musings

 

Hello Monday, raining outside which hopefully will help the grass, flowers and some relief from the seasonal pollen.  I haven't shared much recently but I hope to get back into creating and sharing soon, the recent loss of my mother has had me in a different place.  I know that God has me covered and this season of mourning is not forever.  Today's card share is one that I created for a Crafty Dare challenge over on IG.  The  three dares were postage stamp (die), music themed (paper) and a pocket (die).  I like how it came out and will be sending it to someone soon; I used a Pink & Main stamp set for the sentiment and inside greeting.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes Monthly challenge over at A Cut Above and the Word Art Wednesday challenge for weeks #692 and #693.

Thank you for your visit, take care, show kindness and hurry back again soon.

CIU #327 - Anything But a Card

 Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin.  Today's project share is a loaded envelope that I created for the Cut it Up challenge blog Anything But a Card.  I watched several YT videos that mostly had the same tutorial.  I used papers from the  DCWV Cool Kid 12x12 paper pad, the papers are two-sided.  The paper did most of the work, I  added ribbon tied a bow, some brads and stuffed the envelope with crafting goodies.  I used a QuickKutz die for the tag and a Sizzix die for the sentiment, for this project I used several items that I have been in my stash for a very long time!

Now that you've seen my project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration.  Create and share your Anything But a Card project, the challenge starts today and ends on Monday,  April 14, 2025 at noon PST.
