Seize the Heroes!!!

There is an extra challenge at Seize the Birthday blog and it's called Seize the Heroes, make a card for one or more (up to 3) for the challenge to say Thanks to our frontline workers. The first card I made is to honour my daughter's profession, Cleaning!! Along with their regular cleaning of buildings they were asked to disinfect a retirement building.

The digital image is from Lacy Sunshine, I love these images and it's hard to find something pertaining to cleaning, I'm glad I had this one in my stash. I followed the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 There are two sketches to choose from. Thanks was cut three times from navy cardstock and glued together for elevation. After playing around with many many many pieces of cardstock to match the turquoise paper I had to go with navy and I love it.  "note to self AGAIN...pick paper first)

Couldn't resist a close up, look at the "dust bunnies"

Thanks for visiting today and check out the the challenge and make a thank you card for our frontline workers. (I will be dropping this off at my daughter's house tonight so she finds it when she gets home from work)

Season's Tweetings ~~ Take #2

Since I had a bit of time today I finished the card I started yesterday, I had the image coloured I found a sketch I really liked and since penguins are birds I plan on entering this for the Jingle Belles #putabirdonit.

Again I use a super cute image from Bugaboo Designs, I have been seeing the large silver snow flake on my table so decided to use it before it had fallen apart and became useless. The background paper was a super find at the local thrift store, (I scored two 12 X 12 paper pads and one was Christmas). 

The theme of the front was carried to the inside with the paper, the oval and the snowflake. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession.

I'm entering this in:

Jingle Belles ~~  Rockin'Robin 

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 ~~ Sketch 156  (a few liberties)

Thanks for stopping by today and checking on what I've been crafting. There is still a bit of time to enter the Jingle Belles challenge and the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

Another New Challenge at Shopping Our Stash!!!

Hello and a fabulous day it is!! A new challenge at Shopping Our Stash is Lazy Summer Days, which translates to "what are you going to do to relax"? Well since every chance I get I want to relax at the cottage and how I relax mostly is to craft and take walks to the dead end and sit on a rock watch the boats and the water.

As I mentioned I like to craft at the cottage and it's always hard to remember everything I'm always stressed to remember medications especially the cat's meds, I make lists but you would think since I truck certain tools back and forth that I would remember them....nope, left my markers at home,  I didn't have but 5 distress markers and none of them were blue or brown so off to the dollar store and bought some pencil crayons that will remain at the cottage for the next faux pas. 

A closer look at the image, I love this set it's called Summer by the Sea and so far this year I have used 3 out of the 4 images, sadly it's retired from Stampin'up.
