Tweet of Thanks - January 25, 2014

Yes, I am ready for spring!  Can you tell by my color choices?  This winter is so bitterly cold.  I am a warm weather girl myself!  I love this sketch by Freshly Made Sketches, it was perfect to make a cute thank you cards.  People are always doing something so sweet, so I thought I better have some of these on hands this year too!

Up, Up and In Love - January 22, 2014

I made my first valentine card of the year.  The sketch is actually from Freshly Made Sketches #119, but I was two days late to play along in their challenge.  However, the sketch was perfect for the heart filled hot air balloon.

Birthday Cheer - January 21, 2014

When I saw the sketch from Sketch Saturday #293,  I knew right away the perfect stamp set to use.  I love this little stamp set from Whipper Snapper Designs.  These cats are so cute and in the mood to celebrate a birthday!  Since I taught last semester, I used up all my birthday cards.  Now it is time to make some new ones, and start getting ahead again.

It's a Good Day - January 20, 2014

Why is it a good day?  Well first, I am able to craft again, so that makes it a good day!  My adjunct position is over!  My project life for 2013 is complete!  So, I can start working on some  great projects for 2014.  Second, I actually have the day off which is wonderful!  It gives me some extra crafting time since the house is in order and the laundry is done!  Third, Mojo Monday #329 sketch was simple and help me get inspired to get my crafting MOJO back! Fourth, I said "Hello" to my silhouette who had been sitting in the corner collecting dust!  She was happy to get back into crafting!  Fifth, it is always a good day with someone you love, taking pictures and making memories.  Sixth, I never have a card just for fun!  They are always for birthdays, thank yous, etc.  This one is just a simple card to give someone with a great picture of our day spent together!  Seventh,  I discovered a new challenge blog called The Crafting Cafe, and this week is the Anything Goes Challenge - check it out!  Why is it a good day for you?  Let me know!!!
