Cute Card Thursday ~ For the boys

The theme for Cute Card Thursday this week is

For the boys!

A very quick and simple card from me today.  I used Simple Stories 'Awesome' collection to keep it super simple but still have plenty to focus on.  

The image is from Tiddly inks and one that I coloured about a year ago! I was lucky to find it, perfect for a quick make!

This one will be perfect for mailing too as it is an A6 size card and not too many stick out bits to it.  Think I might try to make a few more of these just to have handy for times when I need to mail a card and also when I am even too busy to make one in a hurry!

We are sponsored this week at  Cute Card Thursday by

Little Darling Rubber Stamps at Love to Stamp.

Thank you for dropping by!

WOYWW

I missed WOYWW last week, just a very busy week and couldn't fit anything much in! This week, still busy but taking a little time out now and again before the real work begins once we get the keys to the new place! 

Lots of decorating to do!

So, Tuesday (when I took this pic) I took the opportunity to create a little card, albeit a quick and simple one.  I used these fabulous Simple Stories papers which made my job very easy! The card will be on my blog tomorrow, can't show it today, sorry!

Also on my desk piles of photos, all old ones that I have been scanning for future scrapping!

 Here is what is keeping me busy.  On the guest bed, multiple cartons waiting to be packed and lots of new goodies for the new house.  The lemons are for the kitchen, they are fake so they will last!  They are going in a nice tall vase.  The cute flip flops are a soap dispenser that will go into a shower room  along with a very cute beachy themed shower curtain and flip flop bath mat.  I got them all half priced in Bed, Bath and Beyond too, a very cute bargain! Plus other shower curtains and I still need more, this house has more bathrooms than I care to clean!

I am also working on something creative for this room too, I will be able to share in a couple of weeks!

I hope to be able to show you a huge pile of packed up boxes by next week and with a lot of luck the key to my new door!

My task for today, clean out the fridge and pack lots of books up!..... and just maybe squeeze in another quick card!

My Minds Eye Sketch Challenge

 I am thrilled that I managed another layout. I was so stressed out on Friday regarding our house move that I gave myself permission to craft all afternoon.  I managed to make a birthday card for my son (to be shown later) and got a good start on this layout which I just finished off today.  

I am loving the challenges over on the My Minds Eye blog.  This one was a sketch challenge.  I knew these gorgeous My Minds Eye Lost and Found Two 'Sunshine' papers and accessories would be perfect to use alongside our wedding photos. 

The smudged out centre banner contains the date of our wedding, hence the smudging. Although, I will tell you we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary next year !

Everything I used here was from the Sunshine kit that I bought from Scrapbook Steals, of course, my favourite place to buy my My Minds Eye collections from! Only thing I added was  a tiny bit of white Bazzill basics cardstock.   The text was printed onto some Sunshine paper from a 6x6 pad I bought previously from Scrapbook Steals.

Whimsy Stamps April Rubber Stamp and Die Release showcase

Hello and welcome to Day 7 of our April Rubber Stamp and Die Release Showcase!

 On Wednesday (18 April) Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs and new Shapeology dies.

 From then until 24 April the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop and I am part of today’s hop!

This is what I created with Whimsy Stamps Little Cottage Cutie 'April Sunshine' by Elisabeth Bell.

She is coloured with mainly Prismacolor pencils and some skin tone Copics.

My chalks are already packed away for our forthcoming move so I used some old blue eyeshadow for the background.  

 this is a simple frame from Walmart but I knew as soon as I saw it that it would be perfect for adding the Little Cottage Cuties to.  I aim to make a few of these to hang in my new craft room!

Midweek mojo and MME April challenge

 Although I am way behind with the Amethyst Midweek Mojos over at Scrapbook Steals blog (only done 3 out of 9) I had to jump in and do Amethyst 8 with this paper collection and photo.  

I thought this would take a lot longer but having the  paper collection (My Minds Eye 'Follow your heart') courtesy of Scrapbook Steals made it come together so quickly.

The sketch was also so perfect to combine with the My Minds Eye April Challenge which was to use 

hexagons!
