Many, Many cards....

I am crafting away in the wee hours of the morning to try to keep the semblance of normalcy in my world... but not keeping up with blogging (which honestly never seems to be my top priority even in the best of times).  But, there is something about the archival agenda of knowing what I created... so here's a catch up from the last week.  The top card was for the Coffee Date on Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog, check out that post.

This was for last week's Stay Crafty with Hero challenge...

This is for this week's MFT Sketch Challenge.

This is for this week's Stay Crafty With Hero Challenge.

This was for fun...

This is for this week's Stay Crafty with Hero Fun.

This was last week's MFT Sketch Challenge.

This is for the current CAS(E) this sketch.

This was for last week's Inspired By Challenge.

This card has been sitting around in pieces in my craft room for ages, but using the Gracielle Designs digital stamps....

This one is for the current Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash challenge-- because doesn't every mom need a coffee themed Mother's Day card?

And this card was to honor my virtual work out buddies.

three vases

Three cards, all inspired by the Inspired By Challenge... sometimes it's fun to mix and match and go down a rabbit hole.

you are loved

Two Valentine's Day themed cards today... both work well for the Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge.  My 2nd card was inspired by the Inspired By Challenge, minus the ice skates.

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!

dream

Playing along with the Inspired By Challenge, I liked the font on the word gather in the inspirational photo, so I used it to make a #GoalDigger card.  I've used a mix of goodies, die cuts from Reverse Confetti, MFT leaves and dies, Butterfly Reflections sentiment, Sizzix embossing folder. 

Pumpkin Spice Lattes and BBQ season

Happy Sunday!  My first card is for Inspired By Challenge, channeling my crafty pal Tenia for the inspiration on this card.  I've got a number of goodies in the card, coffee cups by Jane's Doodles, sentiment by Clear & Simple Stamps, dies by MFT, leaves by Lawn Fawn, woodgrain stamp by Concord & 9th.  My second project is to remind you that there's still a little more time to play along with Tag You're It Challenge.  There is a little irony in my world b/c Sundays are generally the most difficult work day and there are no Sunday BBQs in my agenda, but a girl can dream, right?

Coffee & friends

Me... being me...  I meant to post these cards earlier-- funny how the window of time to be crafty comes to an end and my day starts and sometimes posting the cards just doesn't make the top of the list.  So here's 8 more cards for the Spring/Summer Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog hop.  Trying to keep track of all the super sponsors goodies I've been playing with... first card uses Lil Inker coffee cup and Neat & Tangled sentiment.

This card is for the current Inspired By Challenge, wasn't sure how to incorporate pendants into coffee cups till I found this paper and made it a tag.  I used a MFT coffee die, PTI tag dies, Lawn Fawn "to:" and some paper from my stash and Twinery twine.

This card is for the current PTI tag challenge uses a PTI Tag, a PTI background die (hexagons) for a stencil and some Gracielle Designs cup and sentiment.

This card didn't photograph upright well (too large), but I used the same MFT coffee cup, Trinity Stamps sentiment and some upcycled paper from my stash.

Combing Reverse Confetti coffee cup, Hero Arts sentiment and MFT dies.

Newton's Nook Designs, MFT dies and a coffee embossing folder.

This pillow box uses a PTI Mat Stack stamp and die with a Verve coffee cup and some lovely May Arts ribbon (the pillow box is from Reverse Confetti).

Girl boss....  thanks Butterfly Reflections for the sentiment, Fun Stamper's Journey for the coffee cup and MFT for the dies.

Cards galore

Happy Sunday crafty peeps... I'm getting super terrible about blogging.  Okay, let me rephrase that because I write two work related blogs and I'm far from terrible, but I'm getting slightly lazy about my card blog.  I've been sharing cards via Instagram and sometimes not writing the blog....  so, here's a round up of this week's crafty fun.  My first card is for the MFT sketch challenge.  My second card is for the CAS(E) this sketch challenge.  My third card is for the Inspired By Challenge and the last card is for last week's CAS(E) this sketch.  In addition-- I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog, so go on over there and check it out.

oh happy day

Oh happy day.... playing along with the Inspired By Challenge.....

heart cards and more...

Happy Sunday.  I've got a couple of cards to share today... my first card is for the CAS(E) this sketch.  We used alcohol inks at this week's card class and I was inspired from the blues to for the boys' Valentine's Day cards (which they made).  So I had a couple of left over hearts...

This card uses the current MFT sketch and inspiration from The Inspired By Challenge.

And this is a second attempt at inspiration from the Inspired By Challenge, the funny thing is that I don't like this card at all...  not sure why... but I found a sheet of Penny Black stickers that were perfect, so I die cut the sticker, added some water color background and used some MFT dies.  I promise to mail the card.

And this one I already linked up via Instagram, but it's for this week's CASology "bouquet" challenge.

let's make an adventure

Happy Thursday!  What I love about card challenges is that often they spark a thought process that I wouldn't necessarily have (I mean we all know I could probably make coffee cards day in and day out).  So today's inspiration came from the Inspired By Challenge, as you can tell I took the literal take on the tandem bicycle.  I paired the Unity bicycle stamp with a Flora & Fauna sentiment and some MFT dies.

happy camper

Happy Monday crafty friends.  One card, two challenges.  Using the photo from Inspired By Challenge and the PTI alphabet stamp set for the PTI Make It Monday for this sentiment-centric card.  I paired the Happy with the word camper from a Impression Obsession sentiment by my friend Lindsay.  Excited to have another card for my Inn Town Campground camp store.

Friday cards

I've been making cards and not sharing them (which seems almost as silly as making them and not sending them, but that's another goal of mine).  So, here's a few projects from this week.  My first card is for the Inspired By Challenge, I took the bedroom scene and turned it into a living room scene.  I paired the PTI On the Couch set with a sentiment from Altenew.

This card was for last week's CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.

This one is a take on the current Altenew Color Challenge, not sure it's the most color centric, but that was my train of thought.

And this card paired last week's Inspired By Challenge with this week's MFT Sketch Challenge.  I also used it for this week's card class (which might have something to do with my lack of posting?).
