Well, Hello there!!
I thought I would pop in and say Hello!! Let you know what’s up and that I do miss the visits on the blog.
Life has been busy for us, and I haven’t been very crafty. However, I do have some ideas for the blog to update it a bit. Be watching for that, but do not expect a bunch of posts!!
I created this layout for the NSD Challenge this last weekend on the MemoryWorks Studio Forum. I created the sketch and then created this beauty with some scraps of previous MW kit.
My newest kit should be here this week, so I can’t wait to get to work on it.
I created this banner for baby Harper’s room and her mama shared with me where she put it in the nursery. I love it. want to make a million more!!
Speaking of baby Harper, here is a cute page I created with the April MW Express kit and posted for the MW Blog. Really loving it today. Makes me smile.
I picked up all of these fat quarters the last time we zipped to Havre and I can’t wait to put them to use!!
So that is what I’ve been up to. We have 13 days left of school. YAY!! I am excited to bum around the house without having to run. Of course, this month is busy with all that end of the year stuff. Thanks for the visit.
I’m updating the Family Blog too – with farm stuff. Check it out!!
Welcome to the Memory Works Spring/Summer Catalog Preview Blog Hop!. Hopefully, you came here from Kelly’s blog. If not, please start at the beginning of the blog hop – on the MemoryWorks Blog.
Today, I get to share with you from the Fancy Pants Swagger line. I love this line for anything manly, and with two boys, it’s great line for scrapbooking them.
I created a few cards with the papers and Ephemera from the Swagger line.
Now make sure you keep on hopping over to Janey’s blog.
Thanks for the visit!!
Hello there readers!! I’m working away in the craft room today. I’ve got some orders to fill and some much needed inky therapy this week. So I thought I’d share my process.
First off, I checked out some blogs on my Google Reader. Not sure what I’ll do when it ends in July, as I can’t get Feedly to work for me yet. But I find some of my challenges, esp. sketch challenges.
Next I print them off. I save each photo/sketch to a Word Document and then print them off when they are full. I have shared my favorite challenge sites HERE.
For this week, I’m in need of Mother’s Day. So I pulled out all of my Mother’s Day –ish stamps and some new papers, etc.
So here are a few cards that I came up with.
I’m not a flowery person, but this one of my favorite stamp sets, What’s Up Buttercup from There She Goes. I kept things very simple with this one.
I think the touch of the Wonderful You circle is perfect for moms.
I’ve been creating two of most of my cards, and this one is just a different version.
Both of these are from the Mojo Monday sketch.
I also wanted to play with the MFT Sketches, and loved the circles to pull out some scraps of paper. My mom inspires me, so I assume most moms do as well.
Thanks for stopping by today – I am going to work on my MemoryWorks duties for next week today. Can’t wait to scrapbook – and get caught up on Project Life.
Follow my blog with BloglovinI have snuck in a few productive days in the craft room to get some Grad cards done. I remembered my custom school papers and supplies I picked up last year and took a few cards to the coffee shop for local grads.
But I wanted to make some other fun cards as well.
This was one of those cards that really just happened. I started out with the stamp set Tag It’s #4, from Papertrey Ink, and created the circle. The patterned paper was a scrap left on the desk, so I pulled out some scraps of ribbon to go with it.
Then I remembered these vellum envelopes from Studio Calico and thought they would be perfect to tuck some money into. While digging for them, I thought a doily would make a nice touch. So then I grabbed a kraft button and twine to add to the ribbon bow. Love it. Very girly, and fun for a grad!!
I am going to dig into some more work here in the craft room today. Thanks for visiting.
Good Morning!! I hope April continues this way, with some regular posts!!
While I was crafting this weekend, I had my Cards Pinterest Board open to get some ideas. It helped me a lot. And it lead to some creations of my own.
I love the colors used on this card – very hip. I used the stamp and die set Rock On, from Papertrey Ink. I ran the turquoise cardstock through the Big Shot with this SU Embossing Folder, from the Sale-A-Bration catty. Then finished it off with buttons.
Most of you know, if you’ve read the blog recently, we have a love for the Duck Dynasty show. Well, I picked up their book last week when we were at WalMart, sat down and read the whole thing. Loved it. Not only is it an easy read, and about their family, it’s very inspirational as well. They are real people, who aren’t perfect at all, but have a great Christian faith and it shows on the show and in the book. I was just inspired by their faith and ethics.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your Tuesday.
Hey there – No fooling, I am posting a new card. It’s a new month, so maybe a new start here.
I took a much needed break from the week and my mojo came back!! Here is a stack of cards I’ve made in the last couple days!! YAY!! and Phew! I have an order to get ready by the 11th.
I printed off Karen’s Sweet Sketch Sunday yesterday and played around after everyone went home from lunch. These papers from the new MME Remarkable 6x6 pad. I love the rulers and was inspired by this card I found on Pinterest. The wooden bracket was in my Studio Calico Project Life Kit. Sentiment is from MFT’s Off the Chart.
I think this would work really well for a manly card.
I have a huge mess on my desk and I love it!! I am hoping to make some more today. Feels good!! ahhh…
Life has bee insane here lately and it looks to be that way this week too. We went up to Havre Friday for the dentist, mom got out of the hospital and headed home just as we were getting done. Then we went to see niece and great-niece, Harper Kelly (who also got out of the hospital Friday). We are all in love!! I’ll post some photos on the family blog if you want to check it out in the sidebar <-----. I get to take mama & baby back to their Dr. appt. Wednesday, and then this weekend is our big basketball tournament. I am already dreaming for the following weekend in the big city with my girlfriends!! It’s what is getting me through!! lol…
Enjoy your day – No April Fools!!
I was able to get my MemoryWorks post up today – so head over to the blog to check it out!!
Hi there readers – I wanted to pop by and share with you today. Life is crazy right now. Mom ended up in the hospital and had surgery early Sunday morning. She is on the mend now and doing well, but will be in there awhile. I went up yesterday and spent the day with her. At the same hospital, our niece goes in tonight to have her sweet baby!! I can’t wait. We are heading back up there Friday for dentist and to visit everyone. Phew. So I am home, trying to get some chores done, things finished up around here. But I thought I’d share what I worked on last week.
On the MW forum, we talked about Going Green and using up scraps, or things that aren’t meant for cards/scrapbooks as a way to re-use them. So I thought I’d share one idea on today’s card.
I die cut the hexagons out of black cardstock to use on another project. That leaves you with the edge of the cardstock that is zig zagged. what a great border for a card edge.
You can see on my card, I added it under the green as a fun border to the card.
I used some new papers from Studio Calico’s SunDrifter on this card. Fun colors, but they could easily be very masculine. The image is from MFT’s Complimentary Greetings.
This is for Karen’s Sweet Sketch Sunday.
Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be back later in the week with more.
