"Just For You"

Good Monday, April 30, 2018 to my friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
I'm hoping you had a fantastic weekend and really did something enjoyable.
This morning has been a great time to put a card together for your viewing.  I received an e-mail on Saturday that had the headline..."Just for you".  When I open it...the invitation was to shop with % off for shopping on that site.  That's where I received my inspiration for this card today.  Titles in headlines can and cannot be misleading at times.  Yes, the invitation was "just for me" to spend some money as well as so many others.  It wasn't personal where I was the only one invited.  However, this card will become personal for someone because I only made one of this kind just for one person.
Take a look at what I made:

My oldest daughter is not a mother but she is the aunt to our grandchild and her sister's little girl.  Mother's Day is going to be celebrated on the second Sunday in the month of May and I don't want her to be left out.  So, I'm going to send her this card for being a loving aunt to her niece and to let her know we are thinking of her as well as our other daughter during the Mother's Day celebration.  I guess you can say, we find ways to celebrate each other even when it's not your day.

Enabler's List:

cardstock came from Neenah white, Recollections yellow and Hunkydory pattern paper

dies used: Sizzix garden greens; Spellbinders Swirl bliss; Spellbinders Elegant Ovals

embossing folder: Spellbinders M-Bossabilities "roses"

Thanks for taking a little time to view with me today.  Your continued support and comments are always welcome.  Please come again.

Sending you a hug and love,

Keeping Up With #LOVE"

Thursday, January 19, 2017

Hello, hello, hello friends, followers, visitors and viewers.  It is almost here!  What?  The weekend! Yay!  You thought I was going to mention something else didn't you?  I know you did but enough of "that" is going on elsewhere.  Today is a great day and it is going well and I don't want any spoilers to mess it up.

I looked back on the cards I had made for the week and they all looked like Valentine's Day cards or cards that can be used for that occasion.  So, why not continue the tradition today and make another one.  Since I have all the hearts and files with Valentine's Day materials on my desk it became an easy task.
Supplies I used to create the card:

• Neenah white cardstock; red dotted Bazzill cardstock;
• dies: Spellbinders Vines of Passion (heart); Spellbinders Mariza' Bouquet (green leaves); Spellbinders Swirl Bliss (opening in the middle of card); small hearts that came from using a Cricut cartridge ( Artbooking).
• stamp: Heidi Swapp stamp set - The Big Day "Save the Dates" (#LOVE)
• Embellishments: Petaloo textured red blossoms 

Enjoy the view:

Thanks for joining me today.  Love to have you come over and better yet, I love your comment(s).

Sending you a hug and LOVE,

"One Sketch equals Two Cards"

Thursday, January 5, 2017
Hello friends, visitors, followers and viewers.
It is cold with the expectation of snow coming into my area tonight and again on Saturday.  If the report is correct, then, I'll be inside for a few days.
It will just give me a few more hours (if the electricity doesn't go out) to craft with  soup cooking in the crock pot.
When I visited MojoMonday.blogspot.com on yesterday, I really liked the sketch that Juliee presented for the beginning of January.  I made one card and then liked it so much that I ended up making two.  Since all I've been hearing since Monday from the weather report...SNOW...SNOW...two days of it, I made  the sentiment to reflect our anticipation.
