Hi 2 U

Hi  and happy Labor Day weekend to all of my US friends! I have several things to share with you today. Since it is the first of the month, we have started a new "cause" over at the SCS Cards For A Cause Forum. If you join us every month, thank you; if you have never helped out perhaps this month you will! We have an OPTIONAL challenge each month and this month it is to use gemstones, sequins, or enamel dots. They all are the big craze now, you gotta luv the extra embellies..*grin*.  I also wanted to let you know I have added lots of new stuff to my Etsy Boutique, stop by and do some shopping! Hope you have a wonderful weekend....enjoy!

Harvest Blessing

A quick card to share playing along with a couple of challenges. I could not miss the opportunity to share a fall card...not sure if you know...but I luv the fall! I have used a pre printed tag that I purchased from one of my favorite Etsy Shops, Creative Visions. Stop by and see all the gorgeous tags she has to offer. I used Tim Holtz words for my sentiment, wrinkled them up a bit, and I added a piece of Tim Holtz washi tape down the side. The washi tape is goods, manufactures, and vintage company prints...perfect! I hope you have a wonderful Friday...enjoy!

TAG Your It

I luv tags...OCC is having a Tag Challenge, if it is about tags, count me in....lol....I just luv making these little babies!  I made these tags using different dies, Verve Stamps, SU, PTI, and the gorgeous papers from K & Company called Yuletide.  I used the yummy color combo of  green, pink, and red.  The snowflakes and a star where inspired by this photo from today's IC260.  I have made a couple of sets, so these are in my Etsy store if you are interested.  I will see you back here later tonight with my last creation with the Curtain Call DT, the new DT will start next week.  Have a super evening, you know  tags can be used as Christmas ornaments too!  Enjoy *~*  

$3.00 Etsy Sale and Mojo Monday Card

Good morning, it is time for a Mojo Monday Card, Mojo138.  I flipped the sketch to use the tags for words.  I kept it super simple.  I used a stem from the Budding Blossoms set and the bloom is from the Miracles Blossom set to make the sweet single flower.  The sentiment is from the new set Happy Days.  I hope your day is great!
I bet you are really wanting to know about the $3.00 sale in my Etsy Shop.  I have marked all my cards down most are only $3.00(a few a little less and a few a little more) and always FREE shipping!  I also added some extra supplies that I have had, that have not been used.  The items are also only $3.00 with FREE shipping, head on over and treat yourself to some goodies.  I will be adding more this week.  Enjoy!

NEW-Data Dig

Good morning, I want to share with you today some helpful tips that I will call my "data dig" or information find.  They may or may not be my ideas but I will link you to the finder or creator.  I will label any posts that have information of this type "data dig" so that you can find it easy  These today are mine, the top set of cards are from the sketch over at Clean & Simple, FTL84 about two weeks ago.  I luvd the sketch and made this card here for the challenge.  I really had fun with it and it was super simple.  Now I am not one to make duplicates of cards very often; but when you stumble upon a good thing that works, why not use it again?  I hope you don't think this is lame.  We are all super busy and lately, I have needed more cards than normal because of my dh's surgery.  The group of cards you see here are for the ladies in my prayer group who have supported us during this time.  I luv the different patterns, texture, and colors, don't you?  I used the fabulous little sets from Verve called Celebration of Thanks, Thankful Accents, and Thankful Hearts.
The second "data dig" is the new way SU is packaging there stamps; now I really like the plastic dvd style case, but boy is there a lot of wasted space.  The wasted space is the first thing I noticed and shared with my demo and stampin buddies.  Being a tad bit on the organized side I wanted to use the space.  I have been changing my wood mounted stamps to unmounted, using EZ Mount(it is on sale).  I have gotten 5 extra sets in this case for a total of six sets.  I wrote the names and what the stamps say on the inside for reference.  I hope you have a wonderful day and can use my "data dig" in the future.  Also, I will be adding more creations to my Etsy site tonight.  Enjoy!
