2022: Catching Up [card #??]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I hope you all are doing well:) While it’s been a a month or two since I’ve blogged… I’ve been in the craft room regularly and still creating! The last card I posted was 2022.063 and now I’m up to 2022.110!! I’ve got A LOT to share. 🙃

I started a self challenge a year or so ago where I would try to use up the supplies in my stash for each creation. I love this challenge because I tend to hoard the embellishments or patterned papers. I also forget why I buy certain stamps or dies if I don’t use them right away; my inspiration fades with time. I have embraced this challenge again (while still buying new stuff too! LOL!) and created a few cards since I blogged last. Enjoy them all! 

A Valentine’s Day card inspired by Kristina W.

 Custom card created for a friend’s uncle

A special birthday card to celebrate a neighbor

Custom anniversary card— wasn’t sure which color she wanted for the background so I made two:) 

A friend lost his 14 year old pup and that required a special sympathy card

Trav needed a special birthday card for a neighbor who loves to golf… of course I had to make a pun:) 

That's it for me today. I hope to share more on the blog soon! 

THANKS so much for stopping by!    

Be blessed ❤️

2022: a custom Valentine's Day card from some pets [card #44]

Hello again, sweet friends! 

I've been in the studio busy crafting-- it is SO nice to be back in the groove! I have really enjoyed making these Marriage Week cards for Travis. After posting two of my cards on social media, a neighbor asked me to make her husband a card from their pets for Valentine's Day! I love making custom cards! 

The requirements were: Valentine's Day card, whimsical, pet themed, and pets names must be somewhere. I think I nailed it! 

I knew I had a pet themed paper pad by 7SevenPaper, which I used but not like I thought I would. Instead of their pet graphic paper I used these wooden cat and dog pieces. I found them at Hobby Lobby in the yarn section- they are supposed to hold your yarn/twine/floss/etc. I think they are perfect for this card... well... the cat looks good but the dog doesn't look like Ridley at all! LOL! 

That's it for me today. I hope this card inspires you to get creative today or to celebrate your love and marriage❤️

THANKS so much for stopping by!    

Be blessed ❤️
