CC&S #388


 Hello! I hope you are all doing well. I have been trying to use my new supplies right away recently.. so when I saw this week's colors I knew what die set I wanted to use. This is called Mighty Oak from the Greetery... and I am in LOVE!!! I plan to make lots and lots with this die. I also used the min slim scalloped die from TE. I love this min slim size. I like the look of slim line cards, they just seem too big to me. I hope you will join use and play with these fun fall colors. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I've been trying to get my craft area cleaned up and decluttered. It's been a process. I gave a bunch of stuff I don't use anymore to my good friend , she has cancer and could use a distraction right now. I know she is using them , she keeps texting me with comments about this or that she found in the box. I've been trying to make some extra fall cards , I'm planning to mail out a bunch of cards to friends and family. Who knows if we will be able to get together for the holidays , so I'm planning on sending extra cards. I love this die from memory box. Thanks for stopping by today.

 Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I've been very overwhelmed at work recently. We had 1 person , retire, 1 quit and another person just go out on medical leave. I've had to take on a bunch of extra work recently and it has become a bit much. My hobby has suffered for it. Hobby and house cleaning went right out the window the last 2 weeks. I colored a bunch of these baby yoda images and was planning to make some cards to send to friends . So these colors worked nicely for my card this week. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! Welcome back , I've been trying to come up with new Christmas card ideas for the supplies I have already... but this stamp was calling my name. I plan to try new things or color combos with some of my older supplies. I have plenty to work with, just need some fresh ideas. For the watercoloring on this card I used my distress inks. I hope you will play along with us.

Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I've been struggling with the mess I made in my craft area. I need to set aside a few hours to do a deep cleaning and organizing. How long have I been saying that? too long. So for today's card I used an embossing folder for some texture . I like how it adds a little punch to the card without being too busy, this is a CAS challenge. I hope you will play along with us .

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 .

Thanks for stopping by today.
