CC&S #361

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well since last week. I've been working hard on my clean up /clean out . I'm trying to reduce the amount of things in our house... I said house not my craft room! Because that's not happening. I want to be better organized, and less stressed . My craft supplies bring me lots of joy and happiness, so they are staying . In fact while I said I was going to try to use my new purchases before buying more... how could I say no to this cute guy? He is from the mythical grumblings set from TE. I love him! I hope you will join us this week for a fun sketch challenge. Be back soon.

Hello! New month new color challenge! This fun color combination gave my the perfect excuse to use the rose botanicuts from the greetery. I'm just a wee bit obsessed with the greetery right now. Dies all cut from this weeks colors, I added a bit of ink on the edges of the roses for interest ( they looked a little flat) sentiment is PTI and finished it off with a couple studio katia crystals. I loved how this turned out so much I changed up the colors and die cut a bunch more roses, planning on making lots of cards with this layout. I hope you will join us this week.

Hello! I'm popping in today to share my card for this week's anything goes challenge at The Holly and Ivy Christmas challenge. The stamps are Peaceful dove Wplus 9 and Christmas sentiment strips TE. This dove was one on my wishlist for awhile now, finally back in stock. Don't you get so bummed when you see a stamp you love and it's sold out? That's one of the perks of creating Christmas cards all year, the Christmas stamps are always in stock in the off season. Thanks for stopping in today.

Hello! I'm back with my final challenge as hostess for February @ CC&S. I had fun hosting this month, I really tried to push myself to try new things. The stamps and dies are Concord and 9th , there is a turn about stamp that goes with this set too.but I felt that didn't really keep with our CAS design. I've been working hard to purge and organize my craft space, it is getting better. I would love to say I've used all the new stuff I purchased, but I keep buying more . If theses stamp companies would just not release anything new for awhile maybe I could catch up... LOL!!! Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm playing along with the sketch challenge at Paper Craft Crew today. I've been trying to get my mojo back after feeling burnt out for months, so I'm trying out a couple new to me challenges. I tried a few different background options before settling on this one. The floral image is from the Ton and the sentiment is Taylored expressions. Thanks for stopping by today.

Color throw down #581

Hello! I've been trying to be better about playing along with other challenges this year. I always see different challenges and think of an idea for it, but don't get around to posting it. Thankfully today I had some time to myself to craft. I've been itching to use this new die from Hero Arts (isn't it darling) , this color challenge was perfect. I picked up so many new stamps and dies recently I feel the need to use them all right away, but don't always. So I guess I'll need to start working on that next. Thanks for popping in today.

Hello! I'm back with another color challenge . I'm longing for spring to come so I picked spring like colors for this challenge. I need to get out and work on my yard. 2 weeks ago we had on water line burst under our garage floor and had to have a new line put in from house to alley, tearing up most of our backyard in the process. It's going to take many hours and weeks to get it ready before my son's graduation party in June. To say I'm concerned is an understatement. I would love to just hire someone to do it for us, but we just spent thousands on the repair. Thanks for stopping by today.
