Thursday Musings

Hello and happy Thursday, what's on your agenda?  I meant to share this card yesterday but I never got around to it so I am sharing it today.  I put this card together for the FB card group using the sketch shared over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I just used more paper from my scrap stash, some Recollections glitter tape, a Sizzix die, a stamped sentiment and some Paper Studio flowers.   Take care and have a wonderful day.

Hello Summer

I know I'm a little late with my start of Summer project  but as life would have it I didn't get to share until now.  I'm back from a fun weekend celebrating family with my father's family, I'm tired so I am looking forward to some much needed downtime this weekend.  Today's card is another card using paper from my scrap stash, the Life's a Beach cricut cartridge to cut the flip flops, my cameo to cut the sentiment, a circle punch and a few K&Co. gems.  I shared this card for the Maymay Made It Summer Fun Challenge over on FB.  Take care and have a wonderful week.

Lifting Prayers

Hello Summer, we are expecting nice temps today for the first official day of summer and vacation for the kids.  Friday was the last day of school but most schools were closed because of the storm that we had on Thursday and some people are still without power.  Today's card is one that I put together for the FB card angel group.  The pattern paper is from a DCWV  6x12 pad that I picked up on clearance from JoAnns a while pack, s Simon Says stamp, and  MS punch.  I also added some stickles to the butterflies  but you can't see them, the card looks better in person.  Take care and have a wonderful week celebrating the new season!

Hello Saturday

It's the weekend, so what's on your agenda?  I am headed into work for a bit then home for some chores and errands.  Tomorrow church and mostly family time as we work out the details of our summer calendar.  One my co-workers asked me to make a card for another co-worker that will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow so Thursday night while it was storming this is what I did.  The inspiration for the card came from one that I saw posted on FB.  I used a cuttlebug folder, the cricut Pretty Pennants cartridge, a Casual Fridays stamp and some Recollections embellishments. I am sharing this card for the masculine challenge over at. Hiding in my Craft Room.  Take care and have a wonderful weekend celebrating fathers!

Thursday Musings

Hello Thursday, today is bittersweet for me as I a mess, that's all I can say.  I go through times when I just have to cry which I guess is a form of therapy for me.  There are some changes/challenges going on in my life right now that I find myself just needing to cry quite a bit.  Today would have been my sister's 57th birthday so instead of sharing her picture as I normally do I decided to share a picture of my daughter with her two sons.  We got  to see them this past weekend as they came to Virginia for mom's family reunion.  I really enjoyed seeing everyone but I was sad that my son wasn't able to make the trip. Family was so important to my sister so it makes my heart happy to share her two sons in honor of her birthday. Take care, make it a great day.

Tuesday Musings

Hello and happy Tuesday, how goes your week so far?  How's the weather in your area?  It has been fairly warm here for the past week or so and summer has't officially arrived.  Today I am back sharing another card,  I stepped outside my comfort zone a little after watching one of Dana Joy's youtube videos.  I used some TH distress ink for the background, a Lawn Fawn stamp set and some color pencils.   I like it, sure hope it brightens the spirit of the recipient!   Take care and have a Terrific Tuesday!
