Celebrate

 

Hello Monday night, it has been a few days since I shared; I was busy creating LOs for a Halloween crop event.  Today I am sharing one of the LOs that I created using a picture taken last month at one of my college roommates retirement party.  We had so much fun and  I was glad to see some friends that I hadn’t seen in a few years .I used pattern paper from the Park Lane Classic Chic 12x12 paper pad and Recollections foil cardstock.  The dress and shoes were cut using the Forever Young Cricut cartridge,  a Sizzix die for the sentiment and an unbranded die set for the balloons. Added the splatters using water color paint, some twine and brads that have been in my stash for years. I am sharing this layout for the Challenge YOURself #94,  Black and White plus one other color.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you will return soon.

Saturday Musings

Hello Saturday evening, it has been  cool and gloomy all day. I'm stopping in to do a quick drive by post as I have lots that I need to do.  Today's card share is a birthday card created as part of a sketch challenge for one of my FB groups, I used pattern papers from two different My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad, an unbranded die that I ordered online and a few Queen & Co pearls.  I'm sharing this card for the Just Us Girls challenge #588 - no stamping.  Another card done and ready to go postal, I am going to spend some time this evening getting some cards ready for Monday's mail.

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and hurry back.

April Showers MemoryDex

 Hello rainy Monday morning, doing a quick drive by post to share my monthly MemoryDex card.  I really like how this one came out as it is one of the few times the end result came close to the plan I had in my head!  I use a pattern piece of paper from a  DCWV paper pad along with other misc. scraps of paper from my stash (I really just need to toss  those scraps).  I cut the grass and tulips using the Artiste and Walk in my Garden cricut cartridges, used a SU punch for the umbrella, stamped, colored  and fuzzy cut the boots and the bee.  Added the bee and boots with dimensional tape and doodled the bee line with a sharpie, both were requirements elements for the challenge.  I'm sharing this for the Anything Goes challenge #138 over at Cardz TV.

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

Women's History Month

 Hello and happy sunny Tuesday, I meant to share yesterday but as life would have it I didn't.  Today's project share is another 8.5 x 11 LO created for my daughter's album.  I created the LO as part of the monthly scrappy telephone challenge it uses a selfie picture taken of me and my daughter last December.  The base of the LO is grey, it looks like it has hint of blue, I used a Momenta LO kit contents, a Crafter’s Companion die for the flower, Sizzix dies for the tag and letters. I finished the LO by adding some enamel dots, I hope that I am able to complete at least one more LO by the end of the month; crafting is my therapy.

Thank you for your visit, hope you will return soon.  I will be sharing my latest determination project for the Cut it Up challenge blog on Friday.
