Now back to card making.

Simply Create #143

Hello! I'm stopping in to share my card for this month's challenge... shaker cards. I'm not one to make shaker cards, but I recently picked up the MTF card kit that had these handy little shaker cups to make it so much easier. I'm currently hard at work on holiday cards of all sorts.... hoping to be ready to go by Thanksgiving. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #292

Hello! I'm back hosting one more challenge for CC&S. I chose one of my go to color combos, if you follow me you my have noticed I used variations of these colors often. I'm a water sign ,so watery colors really appeal to me. The stamp I used is a SSS/Concord and 9th stamptember exclusive that sold out lightening fast and I was lucky enough to get one . I have already made this guy in several other colors. Thanks for stopping by today.

The Holly and the Ivy #37

Hello! I'm back to share another Christmas card for the Holly and the Ivy anything goes challenge. This was fairly simple to mass produce. The snowflakes are a background stamp from hero arts , and the sentiment is from PTI.  I like to make extra Christmas cards to send to senors in nursing homes, anyone else participate in the lasting hearts card call? I work in eye care, specifically retina... most of my patients are in their 80's -90's. So I know the impact of simple gestures like a card in the mail. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #291

Hello! Fall is just starting here, and my allergies are suffering badly. I spent a good deal of my saturday outdoors watching my boys run. My oldest had his best time ever at his XC meet and my youngest ran his 1st 5k in the evening with my husband and had a great time. I'm sharing my card for this week's sketch challenge. I've enjoyed pushing myself to try new things with my card designs. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #290

Hello! I've had a very busy weekend and need a few days to re-group. My oldest ran in his big cross country meet of the season (2500 runners) on Saturday, so up extremely early to get him on the bus, watched said meet (kid did awesome , personal record) , cleaned for birthday party on Sunday, dinner with HS best friend who was in town for reunion (30yrs, I couldn't go due to meet) , and on Sunday we went to hubby's company picnic and then we hosted a birthday party for my mom. I need a nap. This week promises to be easier, but next week won't be. I'm sharing my card for the CAS Colours and Sketches color challenge .I chose these colors , I've been excited to make fall/Halloween cards. I am excited to see what people come up with, there is always someone who does something unexpected.  Thanks for stopping by today.
