Jingle All the Way card for a Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good morning and welcome to my blog :) Made a Christmas card with one of the older sketches over at Sketch and Scrap can certainly be fun. First here is the sketch I chose:  

Perfect for one of those 3x4 cards that come with Christmas paper collections :) 

I cut down the 3x4 to where the writing and the decoration is added some ribbon for some glitter and using a tree I made last year for my Christmas card swap. Yes this is a fantastic sketch for a cute card.

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I created and can't wait to see what you create from this cool sketch over at Sketch N Scrap blog. 

So Happy Together LO for Sketch N Scrap challenge

Good morning and welcome to my blog. We been seeing lots of rain this Spring weather here in PA another rainy weekend it is. It would be great to see the sun out a bit on the weekends too, not just the week days. Today is another throw back sketch over at Sketch and Scrap blog. I chose to do sketch #107 from June 2016 for my layout inspiration. 

I love sketches that are multiphoto and pretty sure that is what drew me to this sketch.

 I added an extra photo to my layout. A day at Hershey PA with my sister this was right before we headed in Chocolate World. I used paper from my counterfeit kit and used the stickers I got from there in the Chocolate World along with the pressed penny for my embellishments.

CKC - June 2025 Kit Reveal - It's All Good

 Hey hey and welcome to my blog, it's the 1st of June and that means it's time for a new inspirational kit for us to counterfeit and make our own for the month. Counterfeit Kit Challenge kit to challenge us to look through our own stash and choose a kit to play with. 1st you should have arrived here from Tara's blog. I'm looking forward to checking out her kit and she's our hostess this month and she choose a fabulous kit for us to forge this month. But first I would like to welcome our guest Master Forger this month, MK Gunn. I've had the pleasure to meet MK in person for the first time at a retreat a long time ago, but recently enjoyed her company and her teaching at the 2 scrappy cruises I've been on this year and last year. She also is a the owner of Some Assemblage Required and creates some of the coolest wood veneer and acrylic out there for sale. We are so glad she joined us this month. 

This month, I, Master Forger Tara am in charge of the blog and I have chosen a fun kit from Not Just For Boys Kit Club.  I chose their August 2023 kit, "Intrinsic" Limitless Kit.  Here are a few photos of the kit.

Love all the nature related elements in this kit :) Here is my kit for June:

It's All Good

I love the inspiration this month, perfect for all the Spring photos that I have taken lately :) 

The papers I pulled for this kit plus not shown are the few I had left over from last month's kit that works perfect for this month's inspiration. 

Close up of the Pinkfresh Studio Simply the Best embellishments which feature some of those natual elements and the colors of the kit. 

Close up of the chosen stencils, stamp and die cut set for this month which I have got them at MK's shop. Some 49&Market pieces in that picture too. 

Closeup of the bits and pieces from the kit, lots of frames, rainbows and wordy bits. 

Close of all those full icons bits lost of mushrooms and other nature bits and I found this specialty piece that had rainbows on it 

Found a few flair and some fun chipboard for the kit too.
