CC&S #269

Welcome back! I'm sharing my DT card for this week's sketch challenge at CAS Colours and sketches. I opted for a really simple color scheme for this card. I used blooming bunch from Studio Katia and the sentiment is part SSS and the die is from PPP. I usually have a pile of "parts" left over from previous projects, so I'm trying to use some of those up. Does anyone else do that? save the extra pieces ? I have a whole drawer full of stamped/diecut images I should assemble into cards. Thanks for stopping by today.

Parents

Hello! Another busy Saturday for me! Running both boys back and forth to track, laundry, housework, and then grocery shopping....yuck! I bribed my youngest with chocolate to help me. I wanted a little playtime .Playing along with the "Parents" challenge at CASology . I'm trying to get ahead in my holidays, does anyone else do that? thanks for stopping by today. Almost time to go pick up from track again.

Unicorns and rainbows

Hello! I'm working hard to keep up with all my card orders from my coworkers . I always use what I make from my sales to buy new supplies, and this stamp is one of my newest purchases . I have been wanting to ink it up and the current challenge at Paper Players gives me a great excuse to play along. I have more ideas for this cute stamp set in the future. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #268

Hello! I'm sharing my card for this week's color challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches. These are such summery colors I had to use a summer stamp. I wanted to use the bikini die again, but I has this butterfly I hadn't used yet, so I needed to ink it up. I put myself on a spending freeze (only stamps/dies) for the month of April. So for I'm doing good, it helps that I ordered a TON of stuff in march so I have lots that I haven't used yet. I'm saving all the money I make from card sales and my de-stash sales until May. I hope I make it all month. Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday bubbles

Hello! I'm crafting away this cold dreary day today. I've had a couple of friend's husbands die unexpectedly this week , so I'm only making cheerful happy cards today. What is happier than an elephant blowing bubbles? Not much. I used some PPP clear sequins for my bubbles and the stamp is MFT. I'll save this for a coworker who LOVES elephants next birthday. Playing along with the "bubbles" challenge at Addicted to CASand the 'make your mark" challenge at Addicted to Thanks for stopping by today.

Peace

Hello! Happy Friday. It's my day off and it hasn't started out well... Hubby's alarm went off at 4 am (what? ) and I couldn't fall back to sleep. So I've decided to craft for awhile. That always puts me in a better mood. Playing along with the Anything goes challenge at The Holly and The Ivy . I'm trying to make at least 4 Christmas cards a month so when Christmas gets here is won't be scrambling to make them all at once. I suppose I should start on that monster of a laundry pile , but I don't want to. Thanks for stopping by today.

Another share today

Hello! I'm back with another card to share for the Occasions challenge at Watercooler Wednesday. Since Mother's day is coming up I'm working hard on making plenty of cards. I sell them to my coworkers (cheap) , and the request list I a bit long right now. I might be burning the midnight oil tonight to complete them all. Once again ( I think I used the same die last week) I've used the Altenew rose flurries die, have I mentioned that I'm completely in love with this die? I have tried it in a few colors and it looks fabulous in all. I plan to order the rest of their floral dies soon. Thanks for stopping by today.
