June 2020 SheetLoad

Happy Tuesday Everyone! I hope your week is going well.  We've been going to extremes with weather around here!!! Last week was stinkin' hot and humid 80's and higher.  This week someone turned off the heat and turned up the freezer!  I actually had a fire going yesterday.  What?!?  

Today I popped in to quickly share the SheetLoad of Cards I made using Call Me Crafty Al's June 2020 SheetLoad recipe. Alicia puts one out each month and all of us on the Design Team offer up our take of the current month's SheetLoad on the 2nd of each month.  Alicia also puts out a call to see what you can do with her SheetLoads and even shares some on her YouTube channel.  Typically I am just an Instagram gal, but since I have dusted off my blog I thought i would share here as well!  All the deets and ways to see all the Design Team Collaborators are here:

Sweet Love

Look at me blogging two times in one week! Who woulda thunk!!! ;-)   Today I'm sharing a pair of cards I made using scraps 'n rejects from my pie cards. 

I'm such a paper hoarder!  When I cut papers that just don't work, I end up tossing them the scrap pile, which I swear just grows and grows while I sleep.  *wink*  The pile is a benefit though.  When I have a few minutes, when I need to make something quick, or I just feel like I must be able to create one card to feel like I did SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE with my day, I can dip into the pile and whip up something cute.

I had the twine laying on my studio table (being lazy wins again!) and the washi tape was added because the card was screaming for some warm yellow to cheer up the cool blues and greens.  The "sweet" and "love" were from the Kit Club I'm in right now.  I figure these are good for valentines, anniversary, birthday, or a plain old "I love you card for no reason other than I love you and wanted to give you a card" card.  Don't underestimate the power of those "I love you just because" cards.  They really can make someone's day!

Whatcha' doin' to make someone's day today?  To make your own day?  I'm gonna putter in my garden in a bit.  There are a couple areas that look like they need some love this morning.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

A Fabulous Duo

Alas, I am hanging my head in shame (well sorta).  Valentine's Day & our Curious Cupid celebration got the best of me this year and I only got 2 more cards made from my goodie pack.  Good news is that this coming week is school vacation, so you may still see a few more creations! :)

Today would have been my dad's 65th birthday, so to honor him I made this birthday card.  Don't you just adore the clean lines and perky feeling of this card?!?!?! :)   My dad was a Miami Vice fan- the early years when the guys wore pink.  He even had one of those pastel pink shirts.  He was a fashion forward kinda guy and I think the pink on this card would have really amused him. ;)

The other card I managed to squeak out just under my self-imposed deadline was this "Hello Friend" card.  The 100% Girl paper is my favorite and I really wanted to see how it would look as a base for a fabulously layered card!  Wouldn't this make a great "get well", "thank you", or just "cheer your day" card?  I love those "just cause" cards.  They are an unexpected surprise of love in your mailbox.  Makes the whole day better. :)

Now before you wander off, let me remind you that many of the items I used here are ON SALE!  Also, we just had our Valentine Blog Hop, so you'll want to check out everyone's blog so you can comment before Feb 17th and be entered to win goodies!

Friday Trio

 So I played around with some more from that kit.  I'm trying hard to see just how much I can eek out of it. ;)  Consider it a challenge.  How much can you squeeze out of 10 sheets of paper and what you have on hand.

 I added a little sparkle here and there on these happy little jars.  It's nice to give that hidden bling and hear folks say "oh". :)  What can I say, I like surprises--good surprises.

 I used my stardust pen and scribbled some quick glitz on the lid and for the reveal...

I figure "good times" would be great for birthday, anniversary, thanks, gosh just about anything.  I'm into polka dots lately too.  Not sure if this is too plain though.

 "Just for you" seems like another multipurpose sentiment.  Never hurts to have those generic-but-fun cards on hand.  Ya nevah know. :)

I'm one the fence with this one.  It's pretty much why I posted this one last.  I went a little plain and I'm just not sure that it isn't too plain- well for me at least LOL!  Any suggestions to spice this one up would be most welcome!
