Reading/Book Swap Times Two

Today I have two cards I created for a recent swap with the theme of Reading/Books!

I thought I'd continue on my Mojo Monday Sketch journey and use Sketch #3!

I chose the Newton's Nook Sips & Stories stamp set and the Newton's Nook Coffee House Stories 6x6 Paper Pad for my cards. 

There's quite a bit going on with this sketch and I changed a couple things but I think you can still see the sketch in my cards.

I have a video sharing these cards! See it HERE!

Have a super day and smile!!

Mojo Monday Sketch #543 Swap Times Two

One of the swaps in my group last month was to create a card using Mojo Monday Sketch #543. One of the members had a medical issue come up so I made two cards, one for my partner and one for their partner. 

Here's the sketch, Mojo Monday Sketch #543~

I decided to use the MFT One-Of-A-Kind Friend set and the Not 2 Shabby Summer Donuts 6x6 paper pad for both of my cards. I think they turned out so fun and I hope they make the receipents smile!

Little Traveler

Today I have another "adventure" card for the challenge in the Crafty Fun With Friends of LV Handcrafted group! 

I thought this digi from Krista Smith, Little Traveler was perfect for the theme of adventure! Who knows where her adventure will lead her!!

I paired her with some old (2011) My Mind's Eye 6x6 Sunshine papers. This is a different color palette than what I normally work with but it is always good to stretch those creative muscles!

The sentiment comes from an old SugarPea Designs stamp set, Hats Off To You.

Have a super day and smile!

Final Farewell to Summer Collab- 4 Summer Cards August 9

My friend Teresa and I had so much fun with our last collab that we decided to do another one! For the month of August we are going to have a Final Farewell to Summer Collab each Wednesday! 

For my cards today I decided to use 4 summer digis from Krista Smith, 1 set of dies-MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX set 1, the MFT Sand, Surf & Sky 6x6 paper pad and the MFT Itty Bitty Summer stamp set to create my cards.

I had so much fun coloring up these images!! I truly do love Krista Smith digis!! I'm so happy she has a shop now where anyone can buy her digis but the perks are great if you become a member of her Patreon! 

The cards are all very simple but they just let those images shine!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll come on over and watch my video each week and also head to Teresa's channel to see her video each week!

Perfect Day for an Adventure

In the Crafty Fun With Friends of LV Handcrafted Group there is a month long challenge with the theme of Adventure. 

I thought that the Kraftin' Kimmie stamp set, Perfect Adventures was well, perfect for this challenge!

I colored up each critter and then used some old Basic Grey paper and the Whimsy Stamps Slimline Waves die to create this super fun slimline card!

I just love having all these critters on the card ready for the perfect adventure!

Have a super day and why not go on your own adventure!

Bee Collab with Fresh and Renewed with Teresa

Today I am in a fun collab with Fresh and Renewed with Teresa over on YouTube! Check out my video HERE!!

Teresa has been doing a bee series on her channel and the theme in my Swap/RAK group for August is going to be bees so we just thought we'd have fun and share some bee themed projects!

I have been having so much fun with the way I'm creating for the Create it Three Way hops so I decided to do that- one stamp set, one paper pad and one sketch for 3 cards.

I decided to use the Freshly Made Sketches Sketch #547.

I chose the Not 2 Shabby Honey Bee Kisses stamp set and the Not 2 Shabby Sunflower Bees 6x6 paper pad.
