kite card and a few more

Today's bounty of cards... crafting grounds me, brings me joy in the bits and pieces and gives me a very awesome sense of completion.  My cards are for a variety of challenges, the first one for CASology.  The second card for one of the April Mojo Monday sketches.  My third card is for the current Mix it Up SugarPea Designs challenge.  And my 4th card is for the Hero Arts Stay Crafty Challenge.

you make me a happy camper

Oh the holidays... I've been crafting, but I can't seem to keep on top of blogging.... the top card I made for my neighbor and used the inspiration from SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge.  My second card is from this week's Inspired By Challenge, blue pine cones!

some girls...

Happy Saturday!  I'm up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog today with this fun card.  I was inspired by the current SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge.  The great thing about challenges is that it inspires me to go digging in my stash of goodies to find things I've already got (and maybe forgotten about-- like this cover plate from PTI).

say yes to new adventures

Happy Sunday crafty peeps!  Today's card "Say Yes to new adventures" is for my camp store at the Inn Town Campground and inspired by the current SugarPea Designs Mix it Up Challenge.  I paired some SugarPea Design tent dies with a Jane's Doodle sentiment and MFT dies.  I colored some embossing paste for the stars using a PTI dies as my stencil.  Cake pops=camping, right?

....because adulting is hard

Playing along with the SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge, I went by the inspirational photo.  Love this sentiment.... and while it's a coffee set (which we all know I love), it's fun to mix it up and use it without the coffee cups. Hope everyone is ready for Valentine's Day!

life's a journey....

Happy Tuesday.  I have a major case of post-Memorial Day weekend "hang over"- which isn't the right word choice b/c when you work that many hours it's not like you have time to go to a picnic or drink more than one glass of anything.  Short answer, I'm tired..... but I'm trying to use my exhaustion as a reaffirmation for my stamina...  holy cow, I can work hard for many days in a row.... woo hoo.  But, I'll let you in on a little secret-- there are many cups of coffee in that equation.  Anyhoo... I'm back in the saddle trying to catch up on all the behind the scenes business stuffola... and only managed to make 3 coffee cards today.  There's a possibility I'll get back into my craft room later, but in the mean time here's 3 more cards for the Spring/Summer Coffee Loving hop.  My top card combines a PTI sentiment, Neat and Tangled cup, SugarPea Design sentiment, PTI die cut and paper from my stash.  My second card is all SugarPea Design goodies and uses the sketch from their current Mix It Up Challenge.  And my third card uses a Stamplorations coffee cup with a MFT sentiment.  I like the peekabo of the partial coloring behind the vellum.

sending smiles across the miles

Two sketches, two camping themed cards... the top card is for the SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge, I obviously went for the sketch part.  The second card is for the CAS(E) this sketch challenge.   Both cards use the Hero Arts Road Trip stamp set and some MFT dies.  The bottom card also uses the Road Trip paper set from Papertrey Ink.

set your own path

Two cards... one for the CASology card, theme "active"- I used a Unity tandem bicycle with a Hero Arts sentiment and MFT dies.  My second card is for the SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge, I used the sketch.  Hope everyone had a good weekend!

thanks

Playing along with the current SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge, I went literal on the inspirational photo.  I used the SugarPea Designs coffee stamp set and used the stamp in a bunch of different colors... and since the paint brush was there, I, once again, went literal, and used the PTI Wet Paint die for the sentiment.  Fun to use coffee stamps for something other than a coffee card.

Let's Have Adventures Under the Stars

Happy Tuesday crafty peeps!  I'm playing along with the SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge, using the inspiration photo and some SugarPea stamps and dies.  I've mentioned this before, but it's definitely time to stock up the camp store at the campground with more camping cards (if you see 10 coffee cards in a row you can remind me of that).  And I'm always on the look out for more camping/RVing stamps sets... 

2 Coffee Cards

Two sketches, two different coffee cards.  The first one is for the MFT Sketch Challenge, using the MFT coffee cup die and a couple other MFT dies.  The second card is for the SugarPea Designs Sketch using their coffee dies, patterned paper and sentiment.  Happy Wednesday crafty peeps.

camping card

Playing along with the SugarPea Designs sketch with some dies cuts from them (the trees and tent).  I'm a bit low in my camping themed cards inventory at the campground, so I should probably put away the coffee cup stamps and get cranking....

life's too short for bad coffee

How is it the final weekend of 2017?  I keep thinking I'm going to write a year in review posts for any one of the blogs I write (work, work and I have a long neglected family blog), but...  it might not be in the cards (ha ha, pun intended).  In the mean time I am making sure I meet all my crafty coffee obligations-- so hop on over to the Coffee Lovers Blog today to see this and 2 other coffee cards.  I'm going to enter this one in the SugarPea Designs "Anything goes" challenge.

I'm just gonna be me... lots of coffee love

TGIF.  It's the LAST day of the Winter Coffee Lovers Bloghop and I'm not sure I'm ready for this party to end.  So, with that in mind, don't mind my coffee overload post...  the sentiment on this first card is so perfect for me (it's a Pink Fresh stamp), paired with a Greeting Farm coffee cup, MFT die and Lil Inker background die.  

Playing along again with the Viva La Verve December Sketch.

The My Favorite Things sketch and just so you know I think it's kinda perfect that the sentiment is crooked.

This tag uses SugarPea Designs die, paper and stamps, so I'm entering it in their anything goes challenge.

Coffee solves everything

Hello... going strong for the Winter Coffee Lovers Bloghop.  Today's post brings my total number of projects up to 40!  I'm playing along with a few challenges.  The first card uses the MFT Sketch and because I used a SugarPea Designs sentiment I'll add this in their anything goes challenge.

Playing along with the Fusion Card Challenge.
