Tis the season

 Hello Crafty friends, 

Today i have carved out the day to just be creative in my craft room. I want to start my Christmas cards so i clinked on the Christmas cards all year website and thought i would try to make a card with the song "Hard Christmas candy" as inspiration. 

So i first went to spotify to listen to the song. The first one to show was Dolly Parton singing it. The line "just fine and dandy" struck me, its a bit melon cauly and it reminded me that sometimes chirstmas is stressful.... I have this little elf who is having trouble hanging his Christmas lights and seems to be "falling" so that is how i ended up creating my card! I hope the design team will allow this as the criteria :)

Here is my card...

And since the supplies and this paper was out, i made a second card. 

Hope you get a chance to get crafty soon. 

Thank you for visiting my Blog.

Fall beauty

 Hello Crafty Friends,

This weeks sketch at Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog is just perfect for leaves in my opinion. 

First here is my card with a new stamp set called gathering moments. 

Here is my card: 

I used some stamp rocking technique to get the multi colours and torn cardstock for the edge. 

Here is the sketch: 

I cant wait to see what you all do with this sketch. 

Until next time.

Happy Camper

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It is my partners Birthday coming up and he always asks "are you a happy camper" or some version of that, so that was the start of my inspiration today. 

Here is my card, using CTMH retired paper and stickers. 

And here is the sketch from Atlantic Hearts that I used for the background. 

What will you do with this inspiration? We love to see your creations. 

Hope you get to craft soon.

Winter wishes

 Hello Crafty Friends, 

Wow summer is so busy! I thought as I got older I would have more "time" but It is not feeling like that for me. I just got back from Ottawa weekend and I am heading out in 30min to my sisters also over an hour away! I managed to make this card with "left over supplies" and the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Here and I love it! 

Here is my card....

Here is the sketch for reference :) 

And this is my Dog "Hunter" helping me to hopefully take better photos, we are learning :) 

Until next time, hope you are inspired to make something today.

Happy Holidays

 Hello crafty Friends,

I have had a very busy summer, this week's sketch at Atlantic Hearts sketch Challenge, I only had about 30min to complete so I grabbed what was on my desk. I do love this paper and stamp set anyway so its a win win. 

Here is my card, if i could have done it differently I would have embossed the sentiment right on the green base page but i think only in person can you see the edge. 

And this is the sketch for inspiration....

I can't wait to see what you will come up with this sketch. 

Until we craft again.
