Happy 2014 Challenge at Exploring Cricut

Hello,
   
    It's time for another challenge over at Explorig Cricut. This week's challenge is to project celebrating the New Year. During the Black Friday sell I picked up a few carts, one of theses cart was Suburbia. Looking through this cart I didn't know  what I was going to use it for, it had been sitting on my desk. Since this is a challenge week, I gave myself the challenge of creating something with this cart for my Design Team entry. I hope you enjoy and join in on this weeks challenge.

Sympathy Card for a Friend

Hello,

      I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that Santa brought you all the things that were on your wish list. I got a few new toys for my craft room and a gift card to one of my favorite stores (might be your favorite as well). Today as I sat in my craft room getting things together for a new blog that I am starting New Years day, I received a phone call in reference to a friend of mines son who passed away last week. Due to the unknown cause of death and the Christmas holidays the arraignments were a little delayed, so today is the wake and the funeral will be tomorrow. I cannot attend the funeral due to the time and work, but I will show my support by attending the wake this evening. I put together a quick card with some encouraging words for her, I lost my husband last year so I know reading encouraging words made things a little easier.

Sympathy Card 




Supplies:
Notecard- Recollection (I cut 1/4 off the width)
DCWV Green & Yellow Cardstock
Pattern Paper- MME In Bloom 6x6 Pad
Stamp- From my stash cannot find packaging

Mojo Monday 322 Entry

Hello,

    I had some free time today and was able to spend part of my morning in my craft room doing what I love doing the most. I was browsing through my blog subscriptions to see what inspiration I could come across and saw the sketch for today's Mojo Monday.  I made a simple card with some stamping and surprisingly no die cuts. I have to say it has been a while since I made a card with just plain old stamping. I hope you enjoy and play along on the Mojo Monday Website.
