You Make Every Day A Happy One

Hello :)

Tomorrow I'm off to Quebec City until next weekend for work.

Should be a good time!

I haven't stamped in AGES and it doesn't look like I will anytime soon :(

I have about 6 new paper pads and a new stamp/die set from Taylored Expressions that I haven't had time to play with yet. 

Maybe when I get home next Saturday?! Yep...that's a plan!

Here is a card I made awhile back for a Paper Players Challenge - Chalkboard Technique

Stamps: MFTPaper: White, Poppy Red, Lemon Tart, BlackInk: White CraftAccessories: Circle Nesties, White EP, MFT dies, Sewing, Dimensionals, Sponges

I haven't stamped in about a week again. Sad. haha!

I'll get some stampy time this weekend though.

Here is the mojo sketch from last week.

Happy Saturday!

A couple of days ago I had about an hour to do a little stamping! Very exciting! LOL!

I played along with the Freshly Made Sketch #119

It's been a long time since I have used something like Pacific Point. At one time it was one of my favourite colours! Love the boldness!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello and Happy Friday!

I don't know why I'm so excited....lol....I work all weekend! ha!

Yesterday and again today I'm working the late shift, covering off while someone is away, so it gives me a little extra stamping time! I'll take whatever I can get these days.

I'm no longer on the Deconstructed Sketch Team but I will always play along as time allows.

Here was the sketch from yesterday.

I've been using a lot of pastels and soft colours lately and I thought it was time to go a little more bold.

Red and Black perfect for boldness!

Hello :)

I'm off today but likely need to go into work to do a few things. There is always something ;)

We're down a couple of people this week and my two assistant store managers that are there are working their butts off! I want to be able to help a little more :)

This was a card I created on Saturday or Sunday. Loved having that extra time to get inky!

So happy to be sewing on my cards again!! I had run out of white thread and just haven't had the time to get out to pick a spool or two up. 

I meant to glue my green leaf over my boo boo but missed that....oops! I almost always use a hot glue gun to adhere my embellishments so they don't fall off ;) There is no moving that one now....lol

Birthday Wishes for You - Mojo326

Hello :)

Like I said yesterday, I was lucky enough to get a good deal of stamping in this weekend!

Got my fill because I know during the week it just doesn't exist....ha!

I work all next weekend which means no time then :(

This Verve card was created using the Mojo326 from last week.

I obviously went with square ;)

Not much of a circle or shaped card maker.

Love those fun and funky Verve flowers!

Good Monday Morning!

What a fabulous crafty weekend I had! It was the first time in months that I actually had(and took) two days off in a row! Yeah!

It was super cold here all weekend and staying indoors was a definite must ;)

What better way to spend those long hours than to be stamping!

I think I created about 8 cards :)

Makes my heart happy!

This card below was created using the Retro Sketch #96

I pulled out some Verve stamps and matching dies to make this bold card!

Happy Sunday!

This week there is a fabulous Sweet Sunday Sketch for you. Check it out!

Unfortunately, this will be my last card for the Sweet Sunday Sketch team :(

Thank you Karen for having me on the team!

As I said the other day I just don't have the time I used to and I'm finding it harder and harder to keep up.

I miss the days of stamping EVERY single day. Don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't change work or family life, I just need to find that balance. Hopefully one day SOON I will....lol

Here is what I created. I went CAS again. Love Karen's sketches for that. You can dress them up or down ;)

I stamped the image and coloured with copics. Kraft looks so good with any colour! Here I used Lemon Tart.

Ready to see the rest of the Sweet Sunday Sketch Team?

When You Stop and Look Around...

Happy Friday!

I think my days are beginning to get back on track. After the holidays it's hard to get back in the swing of things and a normal routine.

Here's hoping that next week we can do just that!

I haven't had a lot of time in my craft room lately but when I do I take whatever little time I can to create at least a little something.

Here is a card I created one day last week before heading to work the late shift.

Love using white craft ink....on here it really softens the red. A few little black rhinestones to add a little somethin' somethin' and we are done :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a GREAT weekend!

May You Find Peace This Day - DS132

Ready for  another edition of Deconstructed Sketch!

Check out this week :)
Sadly, this is my last week on the DS team! What an amazing bunch of ladies I've worked during my time here. Jen has some of the BEST sketches out there and I'll play along as time allows.
This thing called work has really thrown a monkey wrench into my craft time!

Unfortunately, I was in need of a Sympathy card this week. My grandmother passed away on Sunday :(

She lived a long life and has how gone to be with the angels and my grandfather.

Ready to see what the rest of the Deconstructed Crew have created today?!!!
