Beautiful weekend

 It's been a beautiful weekend here in Central Ohio.  The sun has been shining and the the temperature in the 70s.  My oldest grandson spent the night and we had a rousing game of keep-the-balloon-off-the-floor.

I also got a couple of cards finished.  This first card used Altenew's Peony Bouquet stamp set with the sentiment from their Beautiful Heart set.

This second card is a sympathy card made with The Greetery's Summer Sketches stamp set.  The sentiment is from a Stampin Up set.

I'm off to get a few more cards (hopefully) done before bedtime.  Thanks for stopping by, Susan

Back at it!

 I've been working on cards since my last post but I just finished the envelopes to go with them.  

I found a new stamp company with great sets - The Greetery.  This card was made using Summer Sketches and greenery that I had precut.  I tinted the small background cardstock with gray ink because I couldn't find the right color gray cardstock in my stash - isn't that always the way!

I really like Altenew's Peony Bouquet layered stamp set.  The full bloom and budding bloom look great against Spellbinders Venetian trellis die.

I usually don't purchase kits because I don't fall in love with all the products included.  But Hero Art's Sunflower kit is small and focused.  It came with 5 ink cubes, the sunflower flowers stamp and die, and dies for Hello and Thanks - both the skinny script and outline.  I really like the look of this with and without the outline. 

I haven't got my Etsy store open yet but almost there - hopefully this weekend.  Thanks for stopping by - Susan

Never Forget

 It's hard to believe that 20 years ago most Americans were glued to their TV sets for whatever news we could get after the horrible morning watching the attack on our country. It is a day that we will never forget, much like our elders who experienced the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I've determined not to watch television today; I don't want to relive the memories.  I've spent the day crafting. Most of my work was on my grandson's birthday card and several cut files I designed.  Now to get back to cards.

Here are a few I finished up this past week.

These were made with Altenew's Peony Bouquet.  I was able to buy the stamp and die set from a Facebook group member.  I love finding product at a great price and I don't mind that it is used.
