CIU #302 - Starts with the Letter B

 

Hello and happy Friday, looking forward to the weekend!  Today's project is for the Cut it Up challenge blog; the theme for challenge #302 is starts with the letter B.  I chose the word books and I created a layout.

When putting my layout together I used papers from an old Dear Lizzy She's Magic 12x12 paper pad.  I also used one of the cut-a-parts from the pad, cut the owl and books using a die set; used several alphabet stickers or the title.  This is one of my projects where I don't think the picture does it justice; it looks better in person.  I created this layout because I recently started a challenge where I am going back to one of my favorite past times, reading books; I love to turn pages; don't care to read books my electronic devices.  I'm sharing this project for the Anything Goes challenge #254 over at Crafty Gals Corner.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more starts with a B inspiration, create and share your project.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday,  May 1, 2024 at noon PST.

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

Wednesday Musings

 

Hello Wednesday morning, doing a quick drive by post as I have been up since 3:30 am and I want to go back to bed.  Today's project share is a card that I put together for the @2crafters1design and @satmornmakes over on YT and  IG.  I am late posting but since I started it I just finished, last week's challenge was umbrella; I used the Spellbinder's umbrella die that had been sitting in my stash unused for probably a year.  I just pulled some random papers together from my stash, stamped a sentiment from a Fiskars stamp set and added a few Stampin' Up gems and this card was finally done.  I'm sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #75 over at The Creative Crafters and the April challenge over at A Perfect Time to Craft.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe; I hope you will visit again soon!

Thinking of You

 

Hello Sunday, the start of a new week; best wishes for a wonderfully blessed week.  Today's project share is a card created using sketch inspiration from Atlantic Hearts challenge 572.  I just used miscellaneous leftover papers that were sitting on my desk waiting to be used. I used a Sizzix die set to cut the focal point, a Martha Stewart butterfly punch and a Love Nicole die set for the sentiment.  Another card done,  it will be going postal this week.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and yours a wonderful week.  I hope you'll visit again soon.

In My Thoughts

 

Hello Thursday, it has been cloudy with sprinkles of rain for most of the day here.  I worked from home today and managed to get my 30 minute walk done before the rain started.  Today's project share is a card created using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge #752  The pattern papers are some of the last scraps from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 paper pad, used a scrapbook.com die to cut the flower and a Spellbinders stamps for the sentiment. This is the second sympathy card that I have needed this week, need to add some to my stash.

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

Sunday Musings

 

Hello and happy Sunday evening, doing a quick drive by post to share a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #644, pattern paper and the bunny die is from scrapbook.com.  All other papers came from my scraps stash, I used a Simple Stories stamp for the sentiment and not one that came with the bunny.  I'm also sharing this card for the Spring Has Spring challenge over at Shopping Our Stash #518.

Thank you for your visit, wishing you and your family a wonderful week.  I hope you'll return soon!

CIU #301 - 3-2-1

 

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today' project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #301 is 3 - 2 - 1 ( 3 gems, 2 die cuts and 1 sentiment).

Not sure why this was a struggle for me but after a few attempts I decided to share this thank you card.   I used  3 Stampin' Up gems, a gift bag die and I stamped the sentiment on a stitched rectangle die cut.  I failed miserably at not adding items to my stash, this was my first time using the bag die, I did use  papers from the My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose 6x6 paper pad, it has been in my stash for a very long time. The sentiment is from a Spellbinders stamp set.

I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more inspiration, create and share your 3-2-1 themed project.  The  challenge starts today and ends on Wednesday,  April 17, 2024 at noon PST.

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

Happy Easter

 Good morning, wishing you a wonderful day filled with the blessings of love and happiness!  Today's project share is a card that I put together using sketch inspiration from Tuesday Morning Sketches #750.  I wanted to use a recently created tag that was sitting on my desk so I decided to use it and a another die instead of the oval.  Everything used on the card has been on my stash for some time, this was my first time using the splatter embossing folder.  I shared this card over on IG for the @craftydares, @2crafters1design and the @satmorn challenges. I am also sharing this card for the Spring has Sprung challenge #518 over at Shopping Our Stash.
