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.

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

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!

My card today features the fabulous new set called Forever Fall.

Once again I've gone CAS but with a little itty bit of designer paper.

The acrons were inked up with chocolate chip and crumb cake and fussy cut.

I stamped the Happy Fall sentiment in Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie. A wee bit of sewing finishes off the card.

Here's the full set:

I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of EVERY MONTH for more REVERSE CONFETTI inspiration! Now it’s time to hop on over to Sarah’s blog.
