Flying By to Say HI!!

So as I sat in my craft room the other day deciding what to play with in the small amount of time I had, and I noticed the brand new pack of Project Life journaling cards that I had picked up at Michael's.  It is a pack of 100.  

What on Earth was I going to do with a 100 of those cuties?

Amy Tsuruta had been posting a bunch of cards from one pad so I was determined to use one up!   (so I can buy a new one... wink wink...)  I grabbed an MME pad and the Lawn Fawn  "Flying By" stamps and went to town!

I stamped the planes on the cute papers and glued them to the journaling 
card with the cute flight path.

 

 

Here's the pile.  There were a few papers left, but not many...

These may appear in gift sets later.  Most of my sets are coordinated, but I think it would be fun to give eclectic mixes this year.  

 

Very busy with the new job as well as a course I am taking to renew my license.  

I apologize for not being able to visit many blogs.  

Class will be finished at the end of October and then I can play some more!

Until I can fly by again...

Happy Mail for Maddy featuring Sequins

Inspired by Let's Get Trendy Sequin challenge, I made this card for MADDY.

I used 3 Lawn Fawn sets: You've Got Mail, Fly Free, and Critters in the Burbs (grass)

I paper pieced all the stamped images.  I tried coloring the mailbox three times before I gave up.  My Copic Colors just didn't coordinate so it is all paper pieced.  

I used the sequins for the bird's happy flight path.

 

Thanks for visiting.

I am also entering this card into Simon Says Stamp:Anything Goes 

and Card for Maddy.  Please send a cheerful card if you have time!  

I tink the boys are pulling out the slip-n-slide this afternoon.

Let summer begin!

CTS30: Christmas in May

I decided to use this week's CAS(E) this sketch design #30 to whip up a Christmas card.

I found the little veneer houses at Michaels and thought they'd be cute with a "from our house to yours" sentiment on the inside later...

I used a holiday 6x6 pad by MME.  I colored the house with Copics.
The banners were made with washi tape. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Blast Off!

Last card for the Card drive for Grayson.

I made all these in one sitting.  
I am taking a graduate class on literacy and while it is really educational, my craft time is very limited almost nonexistent until the end of April.
 I walked in my craft room the other day just to see it.
I miss my toys!! 
 

This card features MME "Lil' Robots" paper collection and stamps by Recollections.

Spaceship was paper pieced and popped with foam:
