Friday Left Overs

LOL!  Okay, this is my last CTMH Cloud Nine Card because every scrap of the paper has been used up! The card kit came with 5 designs to make 2 of each but I had some scraps left to make 6 more. 

This week at Color My Heart Color Dare #79 we're celebrating the Cloud Nine Kit along with our weekly Challenge.  I was excited to use the last of the paper to make some of my own designs with this fun DSP.   This card I used MFT Wednesday Sketch #158.   It's Day #31 of our SCS 100x100 Challenge.  I can honestly say, this is the first time I've ever posted every day of the month on my blog!   Woohoo for challenges! 

Supplies:  CTMH Paper and Stamps Cloud Nine, CTMH Ink Sunset, CTMH Washi Tape, CTMH Sparkle Ribbon Teal

Thursday Love from Cloud Nine

I am on "Cloud Nine" today really because I'm headed home - yay!  It's been a great business trip but it's time to go.  This years event was fun.   Just 2 more CTMH Cloud Nine cards to share.  This one is from scraps left over after the cards I made with the kit!  I'm so glad I used the kit and it's no longer just sitting in my stash.   It was very fun!  I used the MFT Wednesday Sketch #158 for this one

Day #30 of our "100x100" Challenge over at SCS! 

Supplies:  CTMH Paper and Stamps Cloud Nine, CTMH Ink Lagoon, Sunset, CTMH Teal Sparkle Ribbon

Wednesday Love

Wow, it's way colder here in TN than I expected.  Good thing we're indoors for the event most of the time.   This is another cute card from the CTMH Cloud 9 Card kit!  It's perfect for a note to send home to DH.  I've been out-of-town for a few days and I just wanted him to know I miss him.   After 26 years of marriage, sometime you take it for granted your spouse is aware just how much you care!

Day #29 of our "100x100" challenge!   It's good

Supplies:  CTMH Paper and Stamps Cloud Nine, CTMH Ink Lagoon, Sunset, CTMH Sparkle Ribbon Teal, CTMH Washi Tape Gold Dot

WooHoo Birthdays!

I'm so excited because with the CTMH Cloud Nine Kit Stamps there was a Birthday stamp!  That means that I have some B-day cards ready to send.   Usually I'm scrambling to make one when I need one and it's fun to have a few ready to send!  I really have enjoyed these papers and this kit.

Enjoy!   It's Day #28 of our SCS "100x100" Challenge and I'm still getting cards done.

Supplies:  CTMH Paper & Stamps Cloud Nine Card Kit, CTMH Ink Sunset, CTMH Sparkle Ribbon Teal,

Cheer Up Monday!

Yup, it's Monday!  The start to another crazy, busy week!  It especially seems rough because everyone (at least in my line of work) is affected by the cold temps and the decisions around moving goods in this weather.   It seemed a perfect day for my last "Laughing Lola" Card.   I wasn't sure I liked this sentiment but I finished the card and it works for today!  

Today is Day #27 of our "100x100" SCS Challenge.

Supplies:  CTMH Paper & Stamps Laughing Lola, CTMH Ink Outdoor Denim, Pear, Crystal Blue, CTMH Twine, CTMH Purple Dots

Hip-Hip Hooray

Happy Saturday!   I'm traveling for work this week so I grabbed my CTMH Cloud Nine Card kit to have some cards to work on this week.   It's super cute papers and especially the washi tape and sparkle ribbon that are with it are fun.

Here's my first card from the kit.    It's Day 25 of the SCS "100x100" challenge so we're 1/4 of the way through the challenge and so far, so good.

Enjoy!

Warm and Warmer Wishes!

I'm not sure where you're at but it's COLD here!  I saw tonight that we're also supposed to get another blast of below zero temps next week,,, whew!  Lots of cold weather this year.   So today, my card is for Warm Wishes :)

This is Day #24 of our 100x100 Challenge over at SCS.   Still plugging along.   It's also my card for this week's SCS Featured Stamper - Tina.   I used a card in her gallery for a CASE.  It worked great for inspiration as this week's colors for the Color My Heart Color Dare #78 are Indian Corn Blue and Hollyhock.  I hope you'll grab your closest colors for these and come and play!

Stay Warm!

Just stopping by to drop off my Day #23 Card for our SCS "100x100" challenge.  I'm so excited to have posted 23 cards so far for the 23 days of January.

Wow, brrrr it's cold here today in Ohio at Zero actual and minus 12 Wind Chill.  Good day to stay inside ... but that was not to be because my Day Job pays for my Crafty Habit, LOL!

All good!   I'm super happy that I was able to get out my CTMH Laughing Lola Card kit and get the cards done.  They're super cute and right now LL is one of my favorite paper packs, love those colors.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yeah,  I know I should have made a Birthday Card for today's post BUT ... I really wanted to use these stamps I dug out that hadn't seen ink yet.  I will be in Nashville for a couple days so I'm thinking nicer weather and no snow?   Let's hope so! 

This is Day #21 of our "100x100" challenge over at SCS and this card sketch is for Mojo Monday #329.   Enjoy!

Good Times Are Better Shared!

Wow, what a fun Sunday!   Pretty much (except for some school stuff) I spent the day stampin' and scrappin'.  It was so fun and relaxing.   Tonight my family and I shared my Bday dinner since I'm going to be traveling for work on the day of my actual Bday.   When I saw this card sentiment, I knew that it fit for today!   We had such a nice dinner and of course, birthday cake!!  Woohoo! 

It's Day #20 for our 100x100 Challenge at SCS.   This card sketch is Week #3 for the Viva la Verve January Challenges. It also works for the "two faced" challenge over at H2H this week  as I used both sides of the Laughing Lola paper, It was super fun as I really like layers. 

Happy Almost Birthday to me!

It's A Boy!

Awww,  it's been ages since I've had the opportunity to make a BABY card.   Funny thing,  I actually need 4.  (2 girl and 2 boy).   My DS is going to Baby Shower at work for 2 gals and I thought it was sweet that he wanted me to make the cards for his gifts.   It was perfect because I have a friend who had a girl and a guy I work with whose wife is having a boy.  

It's Day #19 of our 100x100 Challenge.  Yup,  I've posted a new card to my blog now for 19 days in a row, whew!   That's a first.  This cute sketch is this week's Freshly Made Sketches #119.   Super cute sketch,  I'm sure I'll use it again soon.

Have An Ice Day

WooHoo Saturday!   Ever had one of those Crafty days where it was just as easy to use the supplies you already had out?  LOL!   Well today is one of those days.   If you stopped by my blog yesterday,  you would have seen another "Wintry Wishes" card.   These penguins were so cute I decided I wanted to use another of the images while I had it out.  So ... this week,  here is card #2 for our Color My Heart Color Dare #77.    I hope you get some time to come over and play!   Even better, it's Day #18 of our SCS "100 by 100" Challenge!

TGIF Crafty Friends!   It's that wonderful time of the week when it's time to have another Color My Heart Color Dare #77.   This week we're using lots of color - Cranberry, Juniper, Honey, Smokey Plum and Sunset.   Maybe you're like me and you're not sure you have all those colors in DSP or ink?  No worries,  find some scraps and have fun adding with some neutrals!    Of course,  I had to get the Juniper Washi Tape in there .... love it!   It's Day #17 over at our "100 by 100"SCS  challenge and I'm still playing along.  

Whatever you come up with,  the best part is you're getting out your stash and you're playing along!  It's all good.  I hope you have a fun weekend.

Flakes of Love

I can't believe how fun this 100x100 SCS Challenge has been!   When I first thought of doing 100 cards again this year,  I wasn't much inspired.  I mean, it was good and I did it last year but I'm going to make that many cards any way as I need them to send.   This year I decided to change it up and see if I could post 100 "different" cards, not just 100 cards.   I thought it might be fun to have a variety and I could put them here on my blog too.   So far ... so good.  It's Day 16 and I've had one for every day.    What's super fun is I've found some different weekly card sketches to use and have come up with some good stuff.

This card sketch is from SCS Card Sketch for 01/15/14.    xoxo!

Supplies:  CTMH CS Slate, Cotton Candy, Ruby,  CTMH Stamps C1506 Flakey Friends, CTMH Ink Black, Cotton Candy,  CTMH Glitter Glitz,  CTMH Washi Tapes

Thinking of Hearts

Awww... I'm not quite ready to start making Valentine Cards but it's coming soon!  I hope to Celebrate Hearts in February.   This however seemed like a fun card to make as a "pre-Valentine".  Unfortunately,  my snowmen are still applicable here in Ohio cuz' it's snowing again but that's ok because teamed up with some red and pink and this little snow guy becomes irresistible.  Lovin' the CTMH Washi Tape too!

Today's card is from this week's Mojo Monday #328 sketch.  This card also works for this week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge - "Give Me a C-T-M-H".  I used "C - Cotton Candy Ink, T - Twine, M - Mojo Monday Sketch, H - H2H Challenge".   Can you believe it? Day #15 for our "100 cards in 100 days" Challenge at SCS. 

Enjoy!

Laughing Lola ... no more

yup ... this is the last of my Laughing Lola "My Reflections" Card Kit Scraps!  I just couldn't let the last little few get tossed so I decided to make 1 more card with the left overs.   That gave me 18 cards out of the WOTG Kit!  Woohoo! 

This is Day #14 for the "100 cards in 100 Days Challenge" over on SCS.   I'm really pleased I've posted all 14 days with a different card!   Today's sketch is this week's Viva la Verve January Week #2 and this is my card for the 2nd January Challenge for Heart 2 Heart.  The H2H challenge was to use the Letters "C-T-M-H" for your card design.   I used the following "C - Card - T - Teal Sparkle Ribbon - M - "My Reflections Laughing Lola Kit" - H - I added a heart and the word happy".  

All Good Fun!   Enjoy!

Tweet Lola

Good Morning and Happy Monday!   What better way to clean up the stuff on my desk than to just use the scraps left over from yesterday's card for today!   Woohoo!   Today's card is inspired from this week's Featured Stamper Challenge over at SCS.   It's also my Day #13 Card for our "100 cards by 100 days" Challenge.    I hope you have a good week!

Oh Sunday

I want today to last as long as possible because this has just been a great weekend for scrappin' and stampin'.   My class stuff came together easily so it's finished and with rain and yuck weather it was another perfect weekend for just staying home.  Love it!

I can't believe it but we're at Day #12 of our SCS Challenge for "100 cards by 100 days".  I'm not only trying to get 100 cards done in 100 days but I'm really trying for 100 "different" cards.   I have 87 done already because I make multiples so I can send them out weekly.  Which reminds me -- to remind you -- postage is going up soon so be sure to go get your Forever Stamps while they are at the lower rate.   The sketch is from this week's Retro Sketches #97.   I used scraps on this card left over from my Laughing Lola Card kit ... works for me!

For the Birds

Yay Saturday!  It's supposed to be freezing rain and snow and I say "bring it on".   It makes Saturday feel so great that I can just stay at home and watch it from the window!   My very sweet DH put a bird feeder outside my Stamp/Scrap/Office Window.  I get to see the Cardinals, Blue Jays and Finches come and go.   I got some great picts of them the other day.  It made me think of this stamp so I was glad to get it out and play! 

This sketch is MOJO Monday 327 and it's Day #11 for our "100 by 100" challenge over at SCS. 

Enjoy!

One of a Kind

WooHoo!  Happy Friday!   I was on a team with another gal, Kathryn and I loved it because we would celebrate "Friday" together.   If it wasn't Friday,  we would always say, "it's almost Friday".  It's always "almost" Friday unless it is so it was always something to look forward too!  

We also have the Color My Heart Color Dare #76 on Fridays too and that's fun to look forward to.  This week we're playing with the color "Smoothie".   For some reason I just could not find my paper so I had to improvise but that's fun too!   This sketch is from SCS Card Sketch #469.    This is Day #10 of our SCS {{100x100}} Card Challenge

Come and Play!

January

Awww... it was time to get away from the snow scenes and stamp something else fun.  Seriously,  I need some sunshine!   This bitter cold and snow have got to go.   I found the sketch on Viva La Verve (Nov Week 1) and decided to look through some my stamps to see if I could find one I hadn't used in a while ... better yet, one I hadn't used at all.   Don't gasp,  I know you have some too.  This cute little set that hasn't seen ink yet, jumped out at me.   How Fun!  This is also for H2H Challenge this week to try something new.  I used an idea on the CTMH Website, covered the CS with washi tape and then punched it out .... perfect!

I'm celebrating Day #9 of our SCS "100 by 100" Challenge.     I hope you are off to a crafty, fun start for January!  

Supplies:  CTMH Key To My Heart Paper, CTMH Stamps A1143 Teddy Bear Birthday, CTMH Ink Cocoa, Crème Brulee, Tulip, Juniper, Sorbet, CTMH Sparkles, CTMH Glitter Ribbon Silver, CTMH Washi Tape

Laugh!

Well,  if you don't Laugh, you might cry here because below zero temps are REALLY cold.  Whew!  It's kind of scary that we're calling 40 degrees for this weekend a warm up,  LOL! 

Tonight I was inspired by the card sketch on SCS #470.  I wanted to try something "new" since that is the challenge over at Heart to Heart this week.   Lots of "new" stuff for me on here.  I used Christmas papers for a non-holiday card (gasp!),  I cut into my beautiful glitter paper (gasp! Ok maybe not, but doesn't it make pretty snow flakes?),  I tried CTMH technique to use washi tape over cardstock like paper (love it!) and I tried the new sketch challenge ... so lots of "new".  

It's also Day #8 of our 100 by 100 Challenge over at SCS and posting 8 days in a row is also a first!

Supplies:  CTMH Sparkle and Shine Paper, Glitter Paper,  CTMH Stamps C1468 Winter Joy, CTMH Ink Whisper, Black, Juniper,  CTMH Sparkle and Shine Washi Tapes, CTMH Sparkles,

For You

Okay, I admit it ... I have several cute Birthday Stamps and I rarely make Bday cards!  Gasp!  What's up with that?   For some reason,  they just never get done at my house.   I guess I should make all "belated" Bday cards and then there wouldn't be any pressure to get them sent on time?  LOL! 

This is from the Verve Jan #1 Sketch.   I used both the colors and the sketch.  This is also Day #7 of our SCS Challenge  {{100x100}}.  Believe it or not,  I got all 7 days done and posted so far --- yay me!

Supplies:  CTMH and Ink Crystal Blue, Cranberry, Chocolate,  CTMH Stamps D1407 Piece of Cake, B1332 Good Times,  CTMH Chevron Ribbon Cranberry, CTMH Sparkle Ribbon Red, CTMH Sparkles Red

Brrr ... Let It Snow

WOW, is it cold here.  Didn't hurt my feeling as I watched the flakes fall because it was the weekend and tie to stay inside and stamp and scrap.   What a FABBY craft weekend at my house.  My DH was working on a project and that left me time to play.  I've learned too that if I leave off the TV, stay away from chatting on the sites and just scrap or stamp,  I can get in the groove and get lots done. 

This is for Day #6 of our SCS 100x100 Card Challenge.   Today I used Retro Sketches #96 for my card.  I really liked this sketch and I already have another card idea so you'll see this again!

Supplies:  CTMH CS Outdoor Denim,  CTMH Frosted DSP,  CTMH Stamps M1031 Single Snowflake,  CTMH Dxxxx January Word Puzzle,  CTMH Ink Champagne, Outdoor Denim,  CTMH Sparkles, Bazzill Opaque Ribbon, CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge

{{Hugs}}

Happy Sunday!  I hope you've enjoyed a restful weekend.  This weekend I decided to play with Laughing Lola.  I love the colors (I'm a "purple" and "red" favorite color kind of gal).  I've been saving it ... I don't know for what but I have 2 WOTG (1 scrap and 1 card) and another pack of paper and I've not opened it yet, LOL!   I hope to also put together a scrap layout this weekend as I found the sketch for my New Years Eve Sketches.   Yay Lola, you're finally out of the package. 

This is this week's Mojo Monday #326 sketch and my Day #5 of our "100 by 100" Challenge over at SCS.  Last year I played in the challenge I did "100 cards" in the 100 days.  This year,  I'm trying to do different cards for each of the 100 days ... not just 100 cards.  This might pose a challenge though as I make 6 - 8 usually of each card and I do like to mail them.   It's all good.  I think some are going to have to be singles

Supplies:  CTMH Laughing Lola DSP,  CTMH Stamps Laughing Lola, CTMH Ink Lagoon, Gypsy,  Black,  CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge,  CTMH Lagoon Washi Tape,  CTMH Black Sparkles

Come On Coffee

LOL!  Brrrrr....it's below zero  here in Ohio so I thought it only fitting for this sentiment right now.  But it's okay because it's SATURDAY ... so I can stay home and not go out in the cold at least today.  Yay for the weekend.   I've been off work the last two weeks for holidays so I'll be headed back on Monday so I especially want to enjoy the opportunity to sit at home. 

It's day 4 of our 2014 "100 by 100" Challenge over at SCS.  What a great group of gals to be inspired by!  This sketch is from Retro Sketches #94 and a shout out for the Gals over at Twist of Faith Challenge #70 for anything goes. 

Supplies:  Paper CTMH Frosted, Champagne and Twilight CS,  CTMH Stamps A1109 A Sip, D1152 Follow Your Dreams (sentiment inside),  CTMH Ink Twilight, Champagne, Slate, CTMH Glitter Glitz, CTMH Dots Aqua,

Love (and it seems Snow) Never Melts

Welcome to the 2014 Color My Heart Color Dare #75.   Come and Play! I'm glad to be back with the gals at Color My Heart.  Unfortunately my work schedule got in the way for the end of 2013.  Yay for stamp and scrap time.   I feel blessed to be back playing with my stamps and inks.  It's January and you know what that means...ugh!  Cold and Snow, at least here in Ohio it does.  It also means though it's time to pull out the snowmen stamps and those are some of my faves from CTMH.  

The sketch is from MOJO Monday #325 and the colors for the Color Dare Challenge this week are SKY, PACIFICA, and LAGOON.  It's day #3 of our 100x100 Challenge over at SCS! 

Supplies:  CTMH CS Pacifica, Lagoon & Sky,  CTMH Stamps C1506 Flakey Friends,   CTMH Ink Pacifica, Sky,  CTMH Sparkle Ribbon,  CTMH Art Philosophy, CTMH Glitter Glitz,

Snow, Snow and More Snow

Well, when I was a kid, we "judged" snow-worthiness by if it was good packing snow, LOL!  Today would have scored a ZERO because although we got 3 inches, it was all light and fluffy ... never fear,  more coming tonight.  

Today is Day#2 of our SCS "100 by 100" challenge -- which is to do 100 cards in 100 days using the stash we have.   This card is from this week's Freshly Made Sketch #117.  More to come! 

Supplies:  CTMH Paper Frosted, CTMH Stamps SnowFriends, CTMH Ink Slate, Lagoon, Petal, Gypsy,  CTMH Sparkles, CTMH Sparkles Ribbon Silver

Happy New Year 2014

Well, it really hasn't been too warm here in Ohio but ... it's nice and toasty in the Stamp/Scrap Office.   Happy New Year 2014!   I've had a GREAT time crafting this week as I've been off work and had time relaxing.  Just a couple more days and I'll be back at it.    This sketch is actually MOJO Monday #272.

It's my first card in our "100 by 100" Challenge over at SCS.   The challenge is to complete 100 cards in 100 days before buying new stash.  I don't think that will be too hard as I have lots of papers, stamps, inks and embellishments to keep me busy for awhile.   It will be a challenge because I have a new CTMH order coming next month but I'm going to try not to play with my new stuff before the 100 days ... notice I said "try",  LOL!

Welcome 2014!
