CC&S #383

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. There has been some new rioting/looting in Chicago ( I live in NW Indiana very close , if you look at a map where Illinois and Indiana meet at lake Michigan that's me)So it's been a bit stressful, add in a monster thunderstorm and getting rear ended on my drive home it makes for a really bad day.  Luckily I was able to come home and craft away my day. I made this colorful card for this week's sketch challenge. I hope you will play along with us .

The Holly and Ivy #76


Hello! I've been trying to get a jump start on my Christmas cards. I picked up the TE Baby it's cold outside kit and have been enjoying making lots of cards. I'm a sucker for all things snowman ! We have a tree in our dining room with just snowman ornaments at Christmas. I'm thinking with the state of the world right now, we all might be sending extra Christmas cards . So I need to be ready. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. I've been working on organizing my basement, purged out a bunch of stuff, sold some, and tossed some. It's a work in progress right now, but it's getting better. I'm going through all my holiday bins to purge out things from those too. My goal is to put in some lower cabinets and a counter top on the side I use to craft (plus take over a little extra) . I'd like to make room to have a larger table to work at. One day! So for this week'color challenge I used this I used budding beauties, sprinkled with kindness and petite eucalyptus stamps and dies from the Greetery. I'm crazy about this watering can, I'll be making more with it soon. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I hope you all are doing well and staying healthy. I've been keeping busy purging things from my basement and organizing my craft area, it's getting better. I'm amazed at how many little scraps of paper I kept...what was I thinking? But then I come across stamps I forgot I bought and haven't used yet, like this cute one from Dreamland crafts. I think this would make a fabulous baby card , but I wanted a general one for this challenge. I did stamp and color extras of this , so I'll put together a couple baby cards too. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! This sentiment is life right now.... I've been so unmotivated to make any cards lately. It's not like I don't have enough supplies, stamps, inks or dies to play with. I have more than enough to keep all of us busy. Anyone else experiencing lack of motivation? I need to find some soon. I hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #379


Hello! I'm back with a fun sketch to try. I thought about this one a few days, with plenty of ideas.. just which one to use. I settled on a floral image for the side elements. I noticed I don't use a lot of blue in my floral images. I loved how this turned out. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm back with a fun color challenge card to share. I thought of this stamp when I saw these colors. I love hydrangeas . My son's graduation party was great, we had good weather. I'm so relieved it's over now. It was a lot of work. I hope you will play along with us this week.
