I've moved!

Hi everyone! Long time, no post. I am back, though! I have a new blog and I hope you will follow me over there. The new blog is https://songbirdcardcreations.blogspot.com/

Celebrate Your Day!

Hello there! Thanks for stopping in. Today, I have a quick card that I made for a co-worker's birthday a couple of weeks ago. I used the Poppy Birthday by Verve Stamps for the sentiment (which I love) and then the Beautiful Blooms #1 die is from Papertrey Ink. The patterned paper is from an old stash I had lying around. :)

Have a great day!

Thought of You Today

Hi everyone! Thank you for stopping by today! I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches # 193 challenge. I have a hard time sometimes making a "clean" card. I tend to use tons of designer and patterned paper, so this was kinda nerve wrecking..lol. Here is the sketch:  

And here is my simple card....

Have a happy Monday!

With Sympathy

Good Sunday to you all. Today, I am back with a sympathy card for a friend of ours who lost their 16 year old son last week. It has been such a shock and so sad. He was such a healthy and active kid, but somehow his heart and organs just gave out and before he could get a heart transplant, he died. 

So, this is the card I made for them. I used this week's Retro Sketch, seen here:

And here is my card: 

I used the Life is Beautiful dies from Papertrey Ink, and a sentiment from Out on a Limb, also from Papertrey Ink. The patterned paper is from SU. Thanks for stopping by!




 

Smallest Things - CTD #348

Hi everyone! Well, I suppose the stamping bug has gotten to me again cause here I am. Life has been so hectic and we have had lots going on, but it's time for me to get back to something that makes me happy. A little Me time. 

Anyway, today I am playing along with Color Throwdown #348.

That's such a really cute color scheme that I thought would be perfect for a baby card. I used a couple of Verve Stamp's Plain Janes - Emery (the sweet elephant) and Smallest Things (sentiment). I also grabbed some old SU Designer paper that I had lying around.

So, I hope you like it! I am hoping to clean out my craft room tomorrow because - as you can see from my pic - it is at that stage where I have no idea what I actually OWN because there is just so much stuff...lol.

Thanks for stopping by!



 

let us be grateful...papertrey blog hop

Happy Monday! Today I have a  card for the September Papertrey Blog Hop. Here is my card:

And here is the inspiration photo:

I pulled the colors, sweater texture, and what I felt was the flower sentiment from the inspiration photo for my card. I also used this week's Retro Sketches layout with a wee bit of leeway, seen here:

Thanks for stopping by! Head over to Nichole Heady's blog to see more blog hop cards or to join in!

Celebrating your birthday..

Hi there! Hope your week went by quickly. I should be hearing about a job soon. Hopefully, I'm hoping something comes along <fingers crossed>.

So, today I am playing along with the Freshly Made sketch for this week. It's a great sketch with lots of possibilities. I decided to get out some designer paper (big surprise!) and create a birthday card. Here is my card:

And here is the sketch for this week....

I just love the colors of that designer paper and the flower (and coordinating punch) is from Stampin' Up! So shabby chic-ish so says my daughter..haha. Anyway, I hope your weekend gets started nicely. See you soon and thanks for stopping in!
