Hello Sunday

I trust that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving sharing with family and friends.  I did and I am so very tired but I still must press on.  I did a little shopping over the weekend only because December is a very busy month for us socially.  We have parties, galas and my daughter has her first high school homecoming dance; so that meant dresses and shoe had to be purchased so no money for crafting goodies!  I didn't need anything since I already have more than I will probably ever use.  

Today's card is one that has already gone postal to someone involved in an accident, made it for the FB card group using sketch inspiration #313 from Crazy4Challenges..  I used paper from the Ki Autumn Flowers paper pad along with stamps from the Creative Card Angels stamp set from Pink Bow Ties created especially for our FB group!

Take care and have a wonderful week.

Happy Friday

I trust that you and your family had a blessed Thanksgiving celebration.  I am back today to share another card that I put together for the FB card group and it has already gone postal.  I used more of the Autumn Splendor paper, some K&Co. gems and the flower was cut using one of the Darice dies that I  recently picked up in Tuesday Morning.  I am sharing this card for the lots of layers challenge #201 over at Use Your Stuff.  I hope my next post will be of a LO that has been sitting around waiting for me to finish for months!

Take care and enjoy your weekend.

Wednesday Wanderings

Hello and happy Wednesday, one more day until Turkey Day!  I am working today and may even come in for a few hours on Friday, I will be off on Thursday to spend time and visit with family and friends.  I really would love to just spend the day working on some LOs since I've only been doing cards lately.  Today's card is one that I put together using more paper from the Autumn Splendor paper pack.  This paper has been in my stash for at least 4 years and I just started using it, it was a gift from another scrapper.  I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder and I really didn't want to cover up the words so I just added a single flower with a button in the center.

Take care and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I'll be back to share again on Friday!

Marvelous Monday

Hello and happy Monday, as usual the weekend went by way too fast!  I am running behind getting my Thanksgiving cards in the mail, I plan to make a post office run during lunch.  I didn't meet my target quantity or mail date but such is life.  Today I am sharing a card using sketch inspiration from Stampin' Celebration sketch #117.  I used more paper from the Making Memories Autumn Splendor paper pack, a punch for the flag, cut the leaf with my SLICE and added a few jellies and this card was done!  I am also sharing this card for the Be Thankful challenge over at Hiding in my Craft Room.   I have my friend Felisa to thank for all of the different sketch challenges, she keeps my mailbox full with inspiration.

Take care and have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving.

Hello Thursday

It's raining outside but it is warm, love these nice temperatures in the Fall; I am not looking forward to Winter.  Well let the countdown begin, one week until Turkey Day!  Today's card is one that I put together for the FB card group, it is going postal to someone that recently suffered a loss.  I used paper scraps from another card that I made recently, the paper is from Making Memories and the stamp is from the Pink Bow Ties creative card angel set.  Added a few pearls and this card was done. I am sharing this card for the Super Scraps Saturday challenge #225 over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Wednesday Wanderings

Today has been a busy day so I am just getting around to posting, I started my day by attending my daughter's parent teacher conference, it took over three hours for me to speak to all of her teachers.  It was good we just need a little attitude adjustment she received many compliments on her leadership abilities!  I am back today to share another Thanksgiving card that I put together using a sketch from The Crooked Stamper.  I made several cards using this sketch so I am almost done so I hope to meet my Friday mailing deadline.  The pattern paper used is a leftover sheet from last year's paper purchase from Hobby Lobby so I think I have enough to make two more cards and then it will be gone!  I cut the turkey using the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge, added a gem for the eye and a stamped sentiment and it was done!  I am also sharing this card for this week's color challenge over at Can You Case It?

Take care and come back soon!

Hello Tuesday

I am back today to share a birthday card that I put together using a stamped image that I colored during a recent FB challenge.  The stamp is from the set called Sorority from Pink Bow Ties,  I have had it for a while so I am not sure whether it is still available.  I put this card together this morning for one of the challenges that I received in my email yesterday from one of my scrapping besties. The Anything Goes challenge was posted over at Seize the Birthday.  All items used on this card have been in my stash for some time with the exception of the Off the Grid paper from Colobok which I picked up last month in a discount store called Ollie's

Take care and remain prayerful for the world, our country and families including mine!

Something Different

Hello and Happy Sunday, the weekend is coming to an end and I can't suy that I accomplished a lot!  Oh well such is life, I am back today to share another card that I put together for Thanksgiving, I sure hope I finish and get them in the mail by Friday!  As you know I usually stick to clean and simple paper crafting and I rarely step out of my comfort zone.   I finally pulled out my supplies and did some wet embossing, this is probably not a big deal to most but I finally tried it after having it on my to do list forever.  I hope that you can see it on the sentiment, it's not perfect; I do plan on adding more wet embossing on more of my holiday cards.   I used some paper from a Making Memories (Autumn Splendor) paper pack that has been in my stash for a long time.

Take care and have a wonderful week.

Thankful Thursday

Hello and happy Thursday, originally I wasn't going to post today but I decided to share this card that I put together last night.  The sketch inspiration came from sketch #423 over at Mojo Monday, I feel like it's missing something but in the interest of time I need to hurry and finish my Thanksgiving cards!  I am also sharing this card for the Thanksgiving/Fall Color Challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2 and the Anything Goes Challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut challenge blog.  I used more paper scraps and the Autumn Celebrations cricut cartridge and this card was done!

Tomorrow starts the weekend, do you have any exciting plans?  My DH will be heading out of town today so it'll be just me and baby girl.  I sure hope we can get lots of  chores done and we still need to shop for shoes for her homecoming dance.  I am hoping to finish up my Thanksgiving cards and settle on a sketch so I can start my Christmas cards!

Happy Veterans Day

Today I'm joining in celebrating, honoring and thanking the many men and women that serve and have served in the armed forces and their families.  Thank you to my dad, uncles, aunts, father-in-law, brother-in-law, other family and friends that have served or continue to serve.  Today I am sharing a card that I put together for one of my co-workers that retired from service in the army.  I used the Stand and Salute cartridge for all the cuts on the card and paper from my stash.

It's going to be a nice day here so I will probably take a walk during lunch.  Thank you for your visit and I hope you will come back soon.

have a Great Day

It's raining and cool outside so I'm feeling like I should be in bed!  The rain should stop at some point today and they are calling for warmer temps tomorrow.  I'm back again today to share another card created and sent on behalf of the Creative Card Angels group on facebook.  The person receiving the card is actually a member of the group that has had some health issues lately.  The inspiration for this card came from one of last week's posted on Obsessed with Scrapbooking.  I just used some scraps from an old 6x6 paper pad, I think it may have been Basic Grey.  I cut the red circle using the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge and punches for the pattern scallop and white circle.  All done another signature simple card using scraps of paper and a stamped sentiment!

Hello Monday

It's Monday again and of course the weekend went by so fast that I really didn't complete much of anything on my 'to do' list.  I did manage to put together more cards for the FB card group and that is what I'll be sharing this week as I try to finish up my own Thanksgiving cards; still not sure when I'll have time to work on a LO.  Today's card will be going postal to someone that is seriously ill and will soon be heading to hospice care.  The sketch inspiration for this card came from Die Cuttin Divas,   I used paper from my scrap stash,  a die, a stamp  and a few pebbbles.  When I saw that tree on my crafty friend Felisa's blog I decided I needed it, it is from Darice and I was able to pick it up from Tuesday Morning for a great price.  I used my cuttlebug to cut it.  Take care, stay warm and have a wonderful week.

Fall Pumpkin

Hello Saturday, I am back today to share another Thanksgiving card.  I am sharing today's card for the pumpkin challenge over at Bitten by the Bug2.  I used more scraps of paper from my stash along with the Autumn Celebrations cricut cartridge to cut the pumpkin and the Wall Decor and More cartridge for the vine.  I chose not to add a sentiment to the outside of the card so this card will be done once I add the inside message.  It has been a busy week so I will need to try to play catch with making cards for the FB card group and just maybe I'll get to work on a LO!

Take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Hello Friday

Today I am sharing another card that I am sending to someone that recently suffered a loss.  The sketch inspiration came from Your Next Stamp challenge #26.  I used paper scraps from a 6x6 Basic Grey paper pad called Serendipity and a stamp that has been in my stash for a very long time.  I cut the lily using the Garden Soup cricut cartridge, first time using this cartridge; another unused item finally opened and used!

Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend.

Simple Thanks

Hello Monday, where does the time go?  There just isn't enough time to complete my weekend 'to do' list.  I had to do some shopping for my daughter, we had to get  a dress for her high school homecoming festivities and exchange some other items that I purchased when she wasn't with me.  I just can't shop for her anymore and she doesn't like to shop with me because I don't want to pay regular price for anything!  Oh well she will learn when she starts making and spending her own money.  Besides I always shop the clearance and sales when shopping for me.  Oh well on to today's post!

Today I am sharing a Thanksgiving card that I put together over the weekend, my plan is to make and  mail about 15 cards for Thanksgiving and Christmas.   I just used miscellaneous scraps of paper, a stamp, some leaves leftover from other projects and a few gems.   I am sharing today's card for the following three challenges:

CYCI#93 Fall  Anything Goes -  Can You Case It?

HIMCR#293 Freestyle - Hiding in my Craft Room

FFC#112 Anything Goes - Jo's Scrap Shack

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will come back soon.  Wishing you and yours a wonderful week as we kick off the holiday season.  I sure hope I get to work on a LO soon, I really don't consider myself a card maker.
