Retirement Shirt

I've been using this saying ever since I retired in December so I decided to create a shirt. I mean, it's true, right?

How much do you love this?

Here's a YouTube short:

Sizzix Sidekick and Dies Challenge; Final Project

It's the last Saturday in March and this is the last project of my Sizzix Sidekick and Dies challenge. Since I'm out of town, I was limited to only a few supplies. I still managed to make a beautiful card for the challenge!

Be sure to watch the final YouTube process video to see how this was done.

Finishing Layouts; Memphis

I needed to finish three double page layouts that I started during a crop.

I made lots of Cricut cuts for titles and some embellishments.

Some stamping and strip journaling.

Print then cut designs!

PCC; Cute Pies Cards

Oh, it's time to share two cards that I made using Cute Pie SVG from Printable Cuttable Creatables. I changed the pie colors so I had a cherry and blueberry pie.

The shapes on the card fronts were created on Cricut Design Space using Basic Shapes and offset. The patterned paper is from Lawn Fawn.

Vellum circles were cut using a large circle punch.

Both sentiments are pretty basic so these cards can be used for any occasion. Adding some highlights using a white pen finished them.

Be sure to check out the Printable Cuttable Creatables website for cute SVG cut files and use the code 3SONS15 for 15% off your order! For inspiration, scroll through the blog. You will not be disappointed!

Sizzix Sidekick Challenge Project Four

Project Four of my Sizzix Sidekick and Dies card challenge is this cute bows card. Act, it's two cards!

I used this die set from scrapbook.com. I purchased it I love the bows but figured there are some delicate bows that could be hard to cut with the Cricut.

Watch the YouTube process to see how these cards were made.

TGIF; Thankful Friday #359

Happy Friday and another week to be thankful! This week went by so quickly. I'm thankful for volunteer opportunities. I never had a chance to volunteer when I was working and it's nice to be able to now.

I helped a friend with the Book Fair at her school site. I was exhausted but it was fun!

What are you thankful for this week?

Iron Crafter Challenge; Stamping Embossing

Join a fun group of crafty peeps each month as we take on the Iron Crafter Challenge! Each month Tara from @thepapersnob will select a challenge ingredient to use on a layout. Quarterly, we will do a recipe challenge rather than a single ingredient. This hop goes live on the THIRD FRIDAY of the month. We will have a hop on YouTube and Instagram to show how we used the challenge ingredient(s) for the month.

The mystery challenge for March is a recipe challenge. For March, the challenge is to create a layout using the following items: Stamps, embossing powder, and a cutfile (or a die cut if you don’t have any cutfiles).

Here's my layout:
