Spring Time and Refresh!

Well its been a hot minute and what better way to get back into crafting then a good ole fashion Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge.  It has been way to long since doing anything crafty and after spending a few hours in my craft room boy do I miss it!

So I create this card (and few more projects I'll share later) for a coworker that just bought their first home.  They say pineapples for a home is a sign for good luck.

As far as the supplies,   the stamp set was a freebie I got with a magazine,  so I don't have a name of the product company.  This is probably the third time I have used this set and I really love it.   The sentiment is a stamp set by MFT called Essential Sentiments    The die cut is nesties  Label 8 and lastly the paper is card stock Stampin UP  So Saffron and  the DP is a the DCWV  pad called the "Spring Mix"

Thanks so much for stopping by.   I will be posting again a few projects here and there as crafting is my therapy and I realize how much I enjoy it.

Since its been a while if anyone has any suggestions for sketches,  challenges or blogs please feel free to comment and thank you for sharing. 

New computer, new blogger update, new projects.   Stay tuned........

Grads of 2015

Well I am rushing out the door to attend our nieces graduation over in Tampa.  We are so proud of her as she is the valedictorian for her class.   She has worked hard and because of that has been granted many opportunities for her very bright future. 

I was holding out on posting the card I made for her (as I didn't want her to see it :). )  But the challenge for the MFT Wednesday Sketch closes before I get back so here it is!   

Hope you like it.   The colors are her school colors and believe it or not this is the first time I have used  this MFT Grad Girl set.  Its an oldie but goodie. It was a bonus set I got years ago at a make n take in the store.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Mesh Wreath Project

Hi folks hope everyone is enjoying Spring 2015.  We have been very busy with graduations, weddings and bridal showers.  Tis the season.

Anyway I did do a quick a little craft for Memorial Day.   I have seen a lot of these mesh wreaths and thought hmm how hard can it be? Let me tell you not hard at all.  It took me about an hour to complete. I followed along with this video from you tube- How to make a basic mesh wreath.

Since flag day then 4th of July is right around the corner, just going to leave up till then!

Thanks for stopping by and I will post again soon :).

Hello Spring

Spring has sprung :)  Well for some of us,  I hear that boston is still getting snow.  Hopefully weather conditions for all will improve and we can get back to enjoying the outdoors.  Speaking of the outdoors, as most of you know I just love flowers.   And this is the time of the year that flowers go into bloom.  So I thought it would be nice to make a paper flower.   I picked up this diecut at the expo and they are just so pretty.   Its the Susan Garden Rose from the Elizabeth Craft Design line.   There were so many to chose to from so I defintely will be back to get some more, especially now that I have the technique down.  Anyway take a look.

Now where to use this.....?  Well thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend no matter what part of the states you are in.  

Scrapbook Expo Fun!

And fun it was!   This years expo was moved up from May to March and at first I was a little disappointed because the only time I was able to attend was Thursday night (usually I go Friday and Saturday), but it all worked out.   Thursdays crop night was the make and take extragangza and look at all the goodies we made.

Cards, jewelry, scrapbook embellishments and more! 

 Each project is sponsored by a crafting store so if you wanted to do more you of course could stop by to shop at their booth during the expo getting some of the best deals for the show! Fortunately for me they are all on online as well.  (had to leave early was a little under the weather).   So if  you missed this year be sure to mark your calendars for next year.  Always a fun time and very nice bunch of people.

Hello all crafters!  Hope you are enjoying a nice relaxing and crafting weekend.  We got the chance to get out and enjoy some sunshine here in Florida and make a quick visit to the MFT boutique.  I am so glad I went,  during my visit I found out that they are relocating.  Not far (just around the corner) but its going to a bigger store with more stuff!  Of course while I was there I picked up a few things and was able to tie them into this weeks "the sweetest thing" card sketch challenge.   Its little different than the layout but very simple and clean.  I am finding a new fondness of simple layouts. 

Love this stamp set, love the dienamics.   The stamp set is called whimsical wishes, such a pretty sentiment and the dienamics is called peek a boo circle windows.  The DP is my minds eye love me.  I use this collection a lot gonna need to get me a another pad!  

Well thanks for stopping by enjoy your week and remember this challenge runs all week.
