Sorry for my absence, The last 10 months has been insane. I’m feeling a lot of tensions but I’m trying to learn how to balance them all.

I had made the A and she liked it so much we finished her names.

 It turned out beautifully. So much that we have to do the other t2o girls.

Have a blessed day and be thankful for those around you.

Thank you 😊

Thanks for looking.

Grandma's Cookies Redo

 This was a card that my husband's grandmother saved. I placed a flower over the sentiment that said "grandma's never run out of hugs or cookies."  Now I'm able to use the card for someone else.  

 Thanks for looking. 

Deep Red Stamps Vined Entry

 I love this card because it took me hours to color it in with Copic markers.  I don't think I will ever give it away. You can find the stamp in the link below.  Thanks for looking.

Giant Blue flower card

 This card was in a 5 x 7 that I cut down to a 4 x 5 1/2.  The only bummer to that is the patterned paper doesn't show the blue color which shows why I chose this flower. 

Thanks for looking 

Gina Marie Butterfly Blessings

 Butterfly die cut is by Recollection and blessings that I cut is by Gina Marie Designs.  The doily is by doodle bug designs and the background paper is a recycled card from American Greetings.

Deep Red Stamps Peacock Feathers

Scalloped Shape Mosaic

This is one of those sets that I bought because the example the demo did with it was really cute but when I got it home I didn't know what to do with it. I searched Pinterest and some  other sites however I felt as though the cards made we're all the same. 

 I made this one and submitted it to the Just Cards magazine where it was published. 

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Catch You Later

 Here I have another card with the sentiment  catch you later from the Cricut cartridge Just Because cards. I inked the two words brown to match my card stock. The card stock is by Recollections and  the hook die is by Quickuts. The hook is set with an eyelet by Making Memories.  The pattern paper is by Studio G.  The fish stamp is by Close to my heart and I've colored it in with distress markers and water. 

 Thanks for looking.

Cricut foam Tags

 I was cutting foam with my Cricut to make these tags.  It was a messy job to adhere the foam to the card stock. And it took a very long time. 

 Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Moustaches

I have a fun layout to share today that cracks me up. Here's a little back story for you; At our cottage my husband holds a weekend event called ⛰ Mountain Main Jr. Plus ➕ where the sons or daughters and their dads (No moms or wives allowed) come up for some fun and shenanigans.

 For this Mountain 🏔 Man, he bought them all stick-on mustaches  that everyone had to wear for the whole weekend. I always make them get a group picture with and it looks like they're having fun. I'm just glad everyone plays along and there's no whining.

All the patterned paper is by Die Cuts With s View and I cut out the title with my Cricut with the Cricut Font and Basic Shapes cartridge in Cricut Craft Room where I welded the letters together.

Thanks for looking. 👓.

Then I have behind that circle is a scallop circle punch by Stampin Up with Die Cuts with a View patterned paper.

Lighthouse ATC

Here  is another ATC that I made with a piece of fabric. After I ironed the lighthouse image onto white card stock I added a vellum sentiment.  It was easiest to hide the adhesive by wrapping the vellum around to the back of the card. I finished by rounding the corners.

A Basket of Apples

 I made these ATC's for a Facebook group I am in. The apple image is a piece of fabric that I ironed on to white cardstock.

Homecoming Season

With Homecoming season here, I thought I would share a scrapbook page that I did for my nephew's book. Sorry if the picture doesn't look very clear. Either a bad picture or it could be me not wearing my glasses 👓. Anyway, The arrow die cut on the right was cut using my Cricut, the freshman letter stamps are Lawn Fawn, date stamps by Stampin' Up! and the freshman sticker and star stickers are by Sticko.

 Thanks for looking. 

Cricut Embellishments

 I made some embellishments last year that I don't think I posted on my blog. The die cuts from my Cricut are the background dies, the champagne glasses and the white label - bottom right that has the sentiment stamped inside. Most other dies are by Spellbinders  but there are a few flower stamps that came with matching dies. The stamps range from Deep Red stamps (Champagne bubbles) to Hero Arts ( Love flower and sentiment) and  rest of the flowers are by Stampin Up.
