I'm back with A Tag and A Sketch...

So as I said in my last post that I would start posting on my blog again mid April.. This entire year so far has zoomed right on by... It's been crazy with working, buying a new home, moving and then having health issues...  We are still unpacking a few boxes every weekend but for the most part the house is unpacked and everything is in it's place except for my scraproom.. I still have a sea of boxes on the garage but it's coming together nicely... This past weekend I had a friend over and we did a little scrapping... It felt good inking and gluing again..  With that said here is a little something that I created with some new supplies and my go to stamps from KinderStampO.

I will be back soon.  Till then... Happy Crafting!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

Instead of rain I think I would rather have snow...  Even thought I live in the Pacific Northwest it doesn't snow all that much where we are located, but there are times that we have gotten dumped on also so I guess it's hit or miss with the snow for us... The kids already have there sleds ready for that day if it ever arrives. lol

So with snow on my mind I had to create a "Let it Snow" card.  The boys just loved it...  I also used the Sketchy Wednesday sketch for KinderStampO for this card.

Te estraño "I miss You"

Summer is in full swing here in Washington.  The sun is shinning so bright this morning that you just know it's going to be a great day.  So with the sun shinning and all I thought I would share a card and one of my sketches with you today.  The card has the most amazing shades of yellow...

Little Girl cards and a Sketch

Today I would like to share with you a couple cards I made.  Right now I am calling them "My little girl" cards as they don't have a sentiment just yet.  I love creating cards but a lot of the time I am not sure what sentiment I want on it or who I am going to send it off to.  Which is nice as I always have a card ready when I need one.  All I have to do is add the sentiment or just write something inside.  Do you always add your sentiment on the card when you are creating it or do you store it away till it's time to use it and add it then?  I sure hope I'm not the only one. LOL

Products used:

Kraft Cardstock (i just love it)

Crate Paper Pattern paper

Lace

Crate Paper Die Cut and card stock sticker

Pop dots

 Products used:

Kraft Cardstock

Crate Paper Pattern Paper

Crate Paper Die Cuts

Recollections Flower Brad

Ribbon (Joanns)

Here is the sketch I created for these cards...

The card sketch is simple to adjust for any die cut shape or stamped image you may have. I love it when things are easy to recreate and I think I may be using this simple sketch for my Christmas Cards this year. 

Feel free to use the sketch and if you do please send me a link...

Till tomorrow.... Be creative and have fun.
