Thankful For You

Hello there friends. I didn't get a card up yesterday like I said and thought I would.  Too many errands to do which is normal on the day I have the car.

I did get a chance to get one together  today which I will be posting over on  the Jennifer McGuire blog. She is doing a Share Handmade Kindness challenge and this is week one: Friends and Family and I'm also sharing it over at Word Art Wednesday.

This was really a timely post for me. This past Tuesday at Bible Study, the ladies I got share with in our prayer time, were talking about how important it was to thank others and show it by "snail mail". We are all so accustomed to texting or emails, but a nice hand written note or card would be so special.  That set a little thought into action. I make cards so I decided to make each of them (3ladies) a card for them to send to a special friend or family member. 

Why not stop by Jennifer's and the Word Art Wednesday blogs to receive some great inspiration and perhaps win some prizes!

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend and I hope you can do something CRAFTY!

Crafty Hugs,
Bernie Bee

Today's card is using the sketch and Tic,Tac,Toe challenge over at Taylored Expressions. This proved to be a little more of a challenge for me then I anticipated, but I stuck to it.  I'm fairly happy with results.  The heavy twine is still in question and I couldn't get a decent picture of the whole card.  It looks blurry and I'm not sure why. I did adjust the levels, took several shots, but I guess  I didn't do enough. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by and make sure you stop by Share the Joy Blog to get some great inspiration.



Make it a great Tuesday and go do something CRAFTY!

Thanks so Much/ Cricut Design Space

Saturday I had the opportunity to work in my Studio. That doesn't happen all that often , but I had a card design rolling around in my head. I'm not sure how your creative process works, I just knew I had to create the card before I lost my mojo or got involved with something else.

Since we are almost into Fall, and there seems to be quite a few projects involving acorns, I decided to try my hand at putting a card together that incorporated one.  I have one SU stamp set that has an acorn or acorns, but it doesn't have a matching die. Oh, I know, I could have fussy cute a simple acorn. I'm just not great at doing it.

So I opened my Cricut Design Space, fired up my Cricut Explore Air, typed in acorn, and had many images to choose from.  The the acorn on the card was from the Bits and Pieces cartridge.  I combined that with SU English Garden DSP, SU card stock and the Labels Collection framelits. I also pulled out a very neglected stamp set with matching die by Taylored Expressions, It's a Banner Day 1. I'm not sure why I haven't used this stamp and die in so long.  I do love how this card came out and I'm anxious to send it along to someone soon.

I hope you make it a wonderful Monday and are able to do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,
