Fantastic Friday Feature

Good Friday to you.  Ok it's not the actual Good Friday but it's still a Friday that is good.  I have to admit I've been tired this week and I think it's due to the fog in our area.  Fog for 3 days straight. It makes me feel sluggish and uninspired to do almost anything....But then the sun came out and now it's time to get back to crafting.

 I am in the process of making a baby shower gift (Thank you cards for the mom to be to go along with the baby gift) and, of course, the birthday invitations to my daughters party (that's 4 months away).  People might think I"m crazy to start so early, but I have reasons as to why I do.  It's not because I'm some crazy organized person. It's because I am stuck in the house in these cold months so I feel like I can do some of the crafty projects I would like to do for decorations and such now until the weather gets nice and then we spend a lot more time at the park. But since I'm stuck in the house anyways I might as well be productive and have some fun at the same time.  I can also slow down and enjoy each project instead of having to rush through it because of lack of time, you know?  It makes sense to me.  Anyways, without further a dew this week I present to you a Sympathy card (I hope I don't need to make another one of these for quite some time), a birthday card and a thank you card.

A Simple flower on a card (I like the envelope more with the tree from Stampin' Up)


I combined the MFT(My Favourite Things) clouds, both with card stock and vellum, with the Magical Dragons stamp set to make a really cute pop and twist birthday card.  The envelope made me laugh as the squirrel is saying "Hot Dog it's your Birthday" because the dog is dressed up like a hotdog (these were stamps from LawnFawn sets "Happy Howloween" and "Cheery Christmas"

This Thank you card is made from "Sewn with Love".  I made my own pattern paper in the back ground.  I used The Stamps of Life "Scalloped Rectangles" to give the edges a little flava. 

That's all I have for you this week.  Can't wait to see you again next week with another project or two displayed.  Have a fantastic weekend.  Happy Crafting

Happy 2018

Happy New Year everyone.  Did you make any resolutions?  If so I would love to hear about them in the comment section.  This year my crafting resolution is to overcome my shyness (yes I am shy when it comes to crafting in front of others) and either teach a class or do a video tutorial.  I also want to make this blog a once a week updated site.  This might not seem like a big time commitment for some, but with 3 kids 5 years and younger it can be tricky to find a little time to play with my toys.  But here's to some goals and such.

Here are some photos of some of the projects I've done in the last month or so.



















May 2018 bring you much joy and happiness.  Looking forward to what kind of interesting and fun projects will be coming our way.  
Until next time,
Chelle
