Four score..... lines....

Happy Thursday all. Today is a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Cardz 4 Galz are looking for cards with more than one score. I made this card and then  the challenge at Cardz 4 Galz was clarified to mean more than one fold. It was too late,  this camper had already made her card for Cardz 4 Galz with more than one score- score  line that is.

I just love this CAS birthday card with its multiple- "more than one score" score lines. It was inspired by a card Julie Ebersole did in the Spring Card Class 1.

Head on over to  Cardz 4 Galz and join in the more than one score challenge, but you might not want to be a rebel like me, so show us a card with more than one fold. The other DT members at Cardz 4 Galz will show how you do it. (unless....... you just might want to challenge the challenge and make a card with more than one score.... line. ) 😄 You have 2 weeks to play along at Cardz 4 Galz.

CASE your wardrobe

Things are very slowly returning to normal at the hospital where I work. The Covid numbers are dropping and we are beginning to return to a normal schedule in the endoscopy unit I run. And the best news is I get a day off this week. YAY!!! I was supposed to have two weeks off to go to the beach with family during the pandemic- which went right bout the window. Covid doesn't care about my need for family and sunshine. In fact it really doesn't like sunshine at all.

Anyway, I digress. Today is a REALLY fun challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. We want you to CASE your wardrobe and let a favorite item of clothing inspire your creation. Come on doesn'tbthat sound like an awesome challenge!!

I went to my closet and just started pulling things out and throwing them on the bed, until I came to this shirt. This is really not my style-it is so totally my SIL's style. But it looks adorable with leggings.

I think my card needs no explanations. What fun it was allowing my shirt to lead the way.

I even came up with a second design, based on the shirt, using similar stamp, but just a bit wonky and not quite as clean and crisp.

Thanks to everyone for playing along with my birthday challenge here at Cardz 4 Galz .We had quite a turnout and some awesome contributions. It was hard to pick the winners!!

Let's get going- start riffling through your closet and pick out an item of clothing to inspire you. Don't forget to show us the item that inspired you. Come and join us for this clever and fun challenge at Cardz 4 Galz . You have two weeks to enter the fun!

Another birthday card

Thursday..... one more day till Friday...... almost the weekend...... yipee!!!! With the restructuring of our unit because of Covid, I now work 5 days in a row, where I used to work 4 days. That extra day is a killer for me. WAAAAAAA I want my old life back!! Something I think that I am not alone in thinking.

Today is a special Thursday because a new challenge comes out at Cardz 4 Galz. This is a special challenge because it is my choice. The theme is:

BIRTHDAYS

One can never have enough birthday cards. At least that is what I think. But hey what do I know? Maybe you don't agree, but I have an inkling (haha pun intended) that you do know what I mean.

Today's card uses "let's celebrate" from Paper Smooches and "stop, drop, party" from Simon Says Stamp.  Pink and green make me happy! Two of my favorite colors. Some yellow for contrast, some bling and this CAS card is complete.

Come and join us at my birthday theme challenge at Cardz 4 Galz . You have two weeks to enter the fun!

Party like you mean it

Party like you mean it, that's what I mean. Who's ready for a party? I sure could use one! We were supposed to have a big party for my SIL next week, but Covid put the cabosh on that. Things seem to be getting slightly better here in Pennsylvania, maybe our summer season will start on Memorial Day. Maybe not full on, but kinda.

Anyway, are you ready for another challenge at  Cardz 4 Galz? This will be a fun one. A two color challenge using :

PINK and BLACK

This one goes out to all those classy crafters!

My card uses one of my "go-to" all occasion stamp set- "Simply Celebrate" by Lawn Fawn. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Birthday Palooza". A little washi tape to jazz it up and this CAS card is complete. You could easily switch the colors on this one to make a black and red card, or black and gold, whatever you want.

Come and join us at Cardz 4 Galz and play along with our black and pink challenge. You have two weeks to enter the fun!

let's go fly a kite!

Happy Thursday! Are you even aware of the day? A coworker asked her daughter last week what day it was and she replied- "does it matter mom? It's just day." I thought that was pretty funny. Cause really does it matter what day of the week it is?

Anyway, it is Thursday and it is time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. The theme this challenge is:

USE A KITE

I had to dig through my stamps to find a kite. Was beginning to get a bit worried when I came across this Honey Bee set- "oh my whiskers".  I loved hanging the wee kitten from the kite string.

The theme reminded me of a song from Mary Poppins. Take a listen and let the song inspire you.

Come and join us at Cardz 4 Galz and play along with our kite challenge. You have two weeks to enter the fun!

Crafty animals

Have you ever made a card that just really made you smile. That is how I felt about this card. It just makes me happy. Something we can sure use these days!

Today starts a new challenge over at Cardz 4 Galz. The theme is:

Cute Animals

Comeon there could be a more fun and whimsical challenge. Who doesn't love a cute animals. Geez, I have tons of cute animal stamps. It was hard trying to decide which set to use. Then I just decided I had to use this adorable new set from Reverse Confetti- "Crafty Critters".

Come on- isn't that rainbow zebra just too cute?!!? The saying is from Inky Antics-Crafty Comments.

Come and join us at Cardz 4 Galz and play along with our "cute animals" challenge. You have two weeks to enter the fun!

Taste of spring

Here is southeast Pennsylvania we have had a taste of spring. Sunny days with temps in the mid to high 60s. I have been so happy. The older I get the less I like the cold weather, Give me warm sunny days all the time!

This challenge at Cardz 4 Galz is just in keeping with my thoughts of spring.

SPRING FLOWERS 

This weeks theme was chosen by Sue. Yay Sue and thanks!! What an awesome challenge.

My CAS card uses one of my favorite sets from Lawn Fawn- "Simply Celebrate".  I added some stitched embossing from Ellen Hutson. This card makes me happy and it was a great blueprint for some other spring flower cards.

 You have two weeks to play along at Cardz 4 Galz and show us your spring flowers!

If the shoe fits....

Happy Thursday everyone! One day closer to the weekend! Yay!! Today is a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! This one was a bit tough for me and I had to dig through my stamp sets to find an appropriate stamp.

the cutest boot was in the set with a great sentiment. 

Today's theme was chosen by Caz, our fearless leader at C4G. Drum roll please!!!

SHOES

Birthday Hits

My guy is super into vinyl. We can spend whole afternoons at a local used record store- Shady Dog. Well, I actually hole up in the corner with a book, while my guy goes through record after record. I was so happy when the stamp companies started coming out with record stamps and dies. I immediately bought all of them up.

Today is a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Galz like records too ya know. I see lots of women buying vinyl at Shady Dog. The new challenge is:

BLACK AND BLING

My bling is a bit subtle, but it's there.

My card today uses Sugar Pea's "Greatest Hits" and My Favorite Things' "For the Record".
