SNS Card 131 - Hello

Have you been crafting? I have been doing a lot of organizing and a squeezing in crafting here and there. I did manage to make several cards and a project for my grand-daughters 1st birthday coming up real soon.

I decided that I have had this paper from Jillybean Soup  for long enough. I got it in a kit in 2011 and have always loved it cause it is just so cute and playful.

I used this fun sketch from SNS Card Sketch #131

Hop on over to our blog and see what the other designers came up with.

Link up your projects by October 31st at 9:55 CST

Time to reset postcard - SNS 130

I hope everyone is having a great fall. I wanted to share another post card I made while I was at camp this past summer.

Have you ever done a virtual retreat before? I hadn't until this past summer and I loved it. If you get the chance make sure you join one. I fell way behind and am still working to catch up and complete it but the over all experience was so much fun and really helped me focus on myself. You know the old saying if you want to care for others you have to care for yourself first. #truth

Here is my project based on card Sketch #130 over at the Sketch N Scrap blog 

I used some poppy textured cardstock from my scrap bin and some paper-bag brown cardstock for the base and then I used some fun cut apart sheet that I got for summer camp. 

Here is the sketch that I used 

We would love to see what you come up with using Card Sketch #130

H2H Ribbon...for Christmas

Hi everyone. This week over at H2H we are focusing on Ribbons. I have always had a thing for ribbon and once upon a time every card I made had to have 3 things, bling, ribbon, and a cute image. Somewhere along the way I ditched the ribbon but I think I need to reinstate this rule because ribbon or fiber or a bow just really makes everything come together!

I decided to make this cute little ribbon tree today as I am trying to stay ahead of my Christmas cards. Have you started on yours? I have about a dozen completed.

Supplies

All supplies CTMH unless otherwise noted

Cardstock- White Daisy, Pomegranate 

Ink - pomegranate 

Other - New England Ivy Burlap Ribbon, Bitty Sparkles 

Ride like the wind SNS#161

Maizie has been struggling to balance and ride her bike since she was 5. She just couldn't get it. We practice with her whenever there is nice weather but nope it never happens until the beginning of summer. She just got it in her head that it was going to happen and low an behold SHE DID IT!!!

I have have had this JilliBean Soup paper in my stash since 2011 and thought these fun parts would be perfect for this page. I love bashing old stash. Here is the sketch I used Sketch n Scrap #161.

We would love to see your take on this over at Sketch n Scrap!

Happy Happy Birthday

I wanted to share this fun little birthday card I made this past weekend. I used up some of my old retired Close to my Heart favorites and my Copics...ahh...how I love to color!

Banners for Grandma - H2H

Have you guys seen this weeks challenge over at H2H?

I love making banners, in fact I have been planning and pinning ideas to make a banner for each season to hang up around my house. I also enjoy putting little ones on cards and scrapbook pages. You just can never go wrong with a cute banner.

This past weekend I had the privileged to celebrate my grandma's 99th Birthday!

 Here are some of the details from her birthday banner.

Here are my little flowers. These are just little hearts scored and folded. It still gives you the feel of a rosette but it is a little different.

Supplies: 

all CTMH unless otherwise noted

Cardstock - Saffron, Eggplant, Fern, Pomegranate Colonial White (retired)

Other - Cricut, Twine
