Bear Swing Card

Casual Friday Challenges has a Glitter  Challenge.   I  just  love the POP this silver  glitter  gives this card.  I will be making more of these real soon.  This  stamp set is from Lawn fawn and I already have the bears cut for other projects I hope to get to today.

Embossed Conversation Hearts

The  sketch at Freshly Made Sketches was my inspiration to finally use this sweet conversation  heart  embossing folder.  I thought it was perfect.  Fab n' Funky has a Let's Be Happy Challenge.  Creative Knockouts has an Anything Goes Challenge.

Double easel card

It's a little early for me to be thinking about Valentines Day but when I saw this double easel card in the Silhouette Store I knew I would try it real soon.  I really like how this worked out.  Just too cute! City Crafter has an All You Need is Love Challenge  I think this should  work quite nicely in. Tuesday Throw Down  has  a Layer it on challenge.  this project  has more than 6 layers on it.  Word art Wednesday and As You Like It Challenges both have Anything  Goes as their theme for the week.

All Wrapped Up

Well, much to my amazement I was able to  squeeze a  few more  minutes of playtime today.  I'm sticking to the easy stuff today because of the limited time.  I saw this  sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches and thought it  would be a  good fit  for this Whimsie Doodle image that's been  laying on my  desk  since probably last winter.  She is just so cute!    Whimsie Doodle has an All Wrapped Up Challenge.  Through the Craft Room Door  and Inspiration Destination both have an Anything Goes Challenge ending soon.

Hug

Just had a few minutes to play this morning before the  kids take over the day.  I made this  quick card for a friend who just needs a  pick me up.  It also fits right in with the Casology   Hug challenge and the CAS on Sunday Love Challenge

Birch Trees

Ok, so I managed to make two posts for today.  Grandkids are still sleeping and I'm taking full advantage of the  quietness in my house.  Over the Christmas Holiday  I purchased this birch tree die.  I've loved it for a long time but kept putting off buying it.    Now it is in my possession so I am sure you will see a lot of it in the next few weeks. 

Today I'd like to enter  this card in the Dies R US Anything Goes Challenge.  Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges also has an Anything Goes Challenge.

Hi

I  was really  rather shocked that I haven't posted anything  since  October.  Where  did all those months go?  Well, I've been spending  time with my Grandkids instead of playing with paper.  I do love those kids but I am  going to make a  bigger  effort to make  Paper Play time too. 

I'm not a real fan of square cards because it does cost more to mail them and you need special envelopes as well.  But I saw this cute image at Catch the Bug and knew I would use it soon.  It is rainy and wet  here today so I thought this might brighten my day  just a bit.

I used  the sketch from  Sketch Saturday.  I don't always know where I want to go with a layout so it helps  to have  sketches to look at.  I did manage  quite by accident to use only my  3 favorite colors which fits in to the  Hiding in My Craft Room's monthly challenge.

There are  also several Anything Goes Challenges I will use this  card in.

Thanks for  stopping by and I hope to see you again  soon!
