Merry Christmas SCS Sketch #455

Hello Happy Friday!

I'm so relieved it's almost the weekend but it doesn't mean I have a lot of relaxation coming my way :(

We still need to head back to Calgary tomorrow morning to clean our old house and do one last dump run. 

Four hours of travel time there and back. Blah!

The end is finally in sight!

Then it will be onto a new hurdle....lol

One day at a time, right?

I was excited that I found some stampy time on my day off this week. Think I managed FOUR cards! I can't remember the last time I stamped for more than 30 minutes :)

This was a card I created for the SCS sketch #455 on Wednesday.

I think the week before we moved Chloe and I had gone to the craft stores to load up with what I could before coming to a city that doesn't have anything but a Michael's. I ended up picking up this sweet My Mind's Eye paper. I love non-traditional holiday colours! Great for a girl!

Stamps: Snow Flurry, Christmas CarolerPaper: White, Pink Pirouette, My Minds Eye dpInk: Memento blackAccessories: copics, sewing, mat pack and paper piercer, dimensionals

Given Enough Caffeine I Could Rule The World

 Happy Thursday!

Ready for  another edition of Deconstructed Sketch!

Check out this week :)

It's been so good getting back to my stampy time!!

My room is a little small and cramped but I'm making it work ;)

I decided to pull out one of my fave Verve stamp sets called Better With You.

Give Thanks With a Grateful Heart

Happy Monday :)

Last evening I was feeling the itch to get inky. So I did just that!

Creating a card for the following two challenges.

I used some Reverse Confetti Stamps for my quick CAS card.

I stamped the hearts from Forever Fall in Crumb Cake and fussy cut them out. Deciding that they needed a little something something....I added a bit of stitching down the center. The Whole Lotta Dots were stamped in Versamark onto the piece of Black cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate HB2U - MFT sketch #142

Good Sunday morning!

Well at this point I'm half way through my six day stint. Working around the move has been a challenge. Days off are spent back in Calgary getting the old house cleaned up. 

Still at little to do there so I'll be there a couple of times this coming week.

All this away time interferes with my stamping/crafting time....ugh. 

Here is a card I created last week for the MFT sketch.

Stamps: Party Balloons, MFT Birthday Sentiments, Darling DotsPaper: Choc chip, Banana, Crumb CakeInk: White Craft, MFT KraftAccessories: MFT Party Balloons, MFT First Place Award Ribbon Die, Sewing, Twine, Dimensionals

Thankful for you today & always

Today I'm sharing a CAS card I created for the Freshly Made Sketch #104 with some Reverse Confetti Stamps.

A little masculine and rustic, don't you think?

Ok so there's a bow....lol

I stamped with Chocolate Chip ink and a Whole Lotta Dots for my background. Then with some Crumb Cake and Chocolate chip I stamped the acorns and sentiment from Forever Fall.

Quick and simple....perfect for one of my assistant managers!

Thanks for stopping by!

Count Your Rainbows - Reverse Confetti

Hello :)

Well we are all moved into our house in Lethbridge and now the work begins settling in.

I really hope to be stamping tomorrow!! 

Here is a bookmark I made about a month ago as I prepared for the Reverse Confetti sneak peeks.

I'd forgotten about it which worked out well because now I have something to share :)

The fabulous sentiment comes from the Count Your Rainbows stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope to be posting a lot more regularly very soon!

So Glad We're Friends - SSSC193

Hello :)

Are you ready for another WONDERFUL sketch?!

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

I really wanted to make a fairly simple card as I had started to pack my supplies while creating this card a few weeks ago.

The MFT dies were perfect for it!

I believe the sentiment comes from the Pretty Poppies stamp set.

It's a Funny Thing About Life...

A week or so ago I created the card above for the Cas(E) This Sketch #43 and also the Dynamic Duos Challenge #68 of Perfect Plum and your choice of colour.

For some reason the Perfect Plum cardstock didn't photograph really well. Looks washed out. Sorry!

Stamp set is from MFT's Vertical Greetings II.

The embossing folder is from Cuttlebug and called Modern Wallpaper.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday - Freshly Made Sketch #102

This was one of the last cards I created before all of my stamping supplies were packed away for the move this week :(

I can't believe I'm not going to get inky for two weeks! ack! The only time that happens is when I'm on vacation....lol....I'm busy and don't miss it then but now....it's a different story....lol

I did pack my copics and brought them with me as I don't trust those movers ;) 

Here was the sketch:

I chose to make it a square card to accommodate the large MFT WTG Bunches of Birthday Wishes. That was the first time I'd inked it up. Cleaning and packing I found it! So excited....lol

By the time I started the card I had already packed up a lot of my stuff, including ribbon, but I did have twine in a bin still...good thing!

I will only have a couple of cards to share over the next two weeks but I do hope you'll pop in when you can.

Have a great day!
