Saturday night in.

Hello, I'm enjoying a peaceful night in tonight. We are expecting an ice storm tomorrow , so I wanted to sneak in some craft time .. in case the power goes... fingers crossed it doesn't. My new supplies finally arrived after sitting at my local post office in sorting for several days ( I'm sure I'm not the only one tracking their order like a stalker). I couldn't wait to ink this stamp up. It might be my new favorite ( or at least until I order the peony stamp). I paired an Avery Elle sympathy die with the mondo hydrangea for the January mix up challenge @ the Classroom.Also playing along with SSS monday challenge Square cards.   I have needed a few too many of these cards lately, so I plan to made more. Thanks for visiting , see you soon.

CC&S #205

Hello, Hope you week is going well. I'm stopping in to share my DT card for this week's sketch challenge. I chose to flip the sketch this time. I loved that this week's sketch was a watercolor, if you have been following me at all you see I love watercolor. Thanks for stopping by, see you soon. 

January mix up challenge

Hello, Hoping you are safe and warm tonight... It's dangerously cold in my neck of the woods tonight.. so I'll be staying in crafting tonight. I wanted to play along with The Classroom's mixup challenge, but I only have a very limited supply of Essentials by Ellen stamps/dies.... So I really have to stretch what I do have. I used the leaf from the mondo poinsettia stamp for my background and the diecut sentiment is Avery Elle. Hopefully the stamps and die I ordered yesterday arrive soon. Thanks for visiting, see you soon.

New beginngs challenge #123

Hello, I hope you are having a good day. It's freezing cold here ( outside Chicago) , and I have to go to work soon... Wish me luck . I wanted to pop in with a quick share, my card for Simply Create Too. The theme this month is New Beginnings , so Baby, House, Marriage, Job... I hope you will play along with us. 

CC&S #204

Hello , Im here with my 1st offical DT post for CC&S . This weeks color challenge inspired me to think outside my comfort zone.( err teal, green, and blue) . I chose to make a birthday card because I'm always in need of those. Ihope you will play along with us.  See you soon. 

SSS Start afresh

Hello ,. I'm back again with one more card today. This one is for SSS monday challenge .. Start Afresh, use something brand new. Well I ordered a few things on boxing day I had yet to ink up , this is one of them . I loved this little stamp from PPP . The back ground is SSS diagonal stripes,  I stamped it , then flipped the card base the other way and stamped it again. I love how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by. 

SSS Anything goes

Hello, I'm trying to enjoy my last few hours of holiday break.... I don't want to go back to work tomorrow.. I would love to be able to stay home and make cards all day. However I need to pay my bills and craft money doesn't grow on trees. This stamp/die set was something my mom got me for Christmas. She is so sweet and broke into my SSS wishlist while I was at work and picked out a few things and ordered them for me. Currently working on holiday thank you notes. Off to make more cards, be back soon.
