DAY 13 & 14 #DOTHE100PROJECT

 Good morning, crafty friends!

I got so caught up in a project yesterday that took  much longer than I anticipated and I'm still not done. Does that happen to you?

So here is Day 13:

The papers are more black/ gray than they show in the picture. Even the tree. So I added a pop of color with the word snow from a strip of ribbon that had some light blue. I brought the blue in with the snowflake (which shows up better in person) and in the bling.

DAY 14:

I took a liberty with this tag by adding a scalloped mat behind the main image. I thought this add a bit more dimension as well as a bit of femininity. The trees were fussy cut from the same paper line.

DAY 12 - #DOTHE100DAYCHALLENGE

 Good morning craft friends.

Beautiful sunshine for photos this morning so I did today's tag really quick so as not to miss the light. 

With this second set of ten tags, I'm in a winter/ snow theme. You know, since winter seems to want to make frequent appearances. 

NOTE: Most of my items are RETIRED Stampin' Up! I have plenty to use. LOL I know all the DSP from them is retired.

Today's tag:

I chose Snowflake Splendor for today's tag. I knew the medium and large snowflakes in the paper were perfect for the circle element and the pull tab. I did add a skim of Night of Navy cardstock to break up the two middle layers.

WOYWW #822

 Good morning, crafty friends!

I do apologize for missing last week. I got up way too early (like today) and didn't even think about our group until I had my head back on a pillow a few short hours later. I thought I'd get ahead of that today. 

So here's my desk:

Not super exciting, is it?

Since I got the filming/ crafting corner organized, I've been really good about cleaning up after a project. This morning I'll be working on my Day 10 & Day 11 of the #dothe100dayproject. Are you playing along? If you are, please make sure to tell me in the comments.

If you don't know what the #dothe100dayproject is, the concept is to do something, anything, whatever your project for 100 days. I've tried several times in the past and dropped off around Day 5. This year I made it through Day 9 before yesterday just hit me. I slept in late (go figure!) then put Bob to work helping me move appliances in the laundry room for a deep clean. He had the heavy lifting because I had no energy to do anything. I did do the dusting, sweeping, mopping then let him move everything back. Between tasks we sat at the dining room table playing cards and Yahtzee. Yesterday must have been a low energy day for Bob as well since I won everything we played. ;-)

They say if you skip 1 day, you're okay. But if you skip 2 days in a row, you're doomed. So  my first task for today is to get Day 10 & Day 11 done before I do anything else (including maybe needing a nap).

My project is to make 100 tags - 10 in each of 10 themes. I'm using a card sketch as inspiration for each day's tag. I've posted in my FB group, Instagram, here and on the community tab of my YouTube channel if you want to check any of them out. 

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Sarah and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Sarah’sCraft Shed for all the details. Miss Sarah has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.

 Creative Blessings!

DAY 9 - #DOTHE100DAYPROJECT & MAKE IT MAIL IT

 Good morning, crafty friends!

Busy morning. After feeling a bit off yesterday, I'm feeling like I could almost tackle the world but I'll settle for the massive amount of office stuff I need to catch up on.

First, here's the tag:

I used Daisy Garden dsp and the Free As A Bird stamp set. The whale tale tab is from a multiple-size set of dies I purchased from Spectrum Art Creations. You'll find the set HERE  The set comes with three different sizes of the tab as well as the ability to cut multiple at one pass through your machine. The set also includes multiple hole reinforcer dies. 

Only one more day in the garden. I've decided to write the theme categories on bits of paper and draw them randomly.

Back to Make It Mail it Monday!

I have a Sterilite tub full of card kits from when I was in the Card Chicks group. Today's card is courtesy of Vikki Selix.

The paper and ribbon are from Stampin' Up! - Flower & Field (retired) The bear is from PSX.

I layered the dsp on white cardstock on a Cherry Cobbler base. I used layering ovals to punch out the bear and water-colored the image using Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! A Little Lace stamp set. (retired)

I'll see you back here tomorrow for our final tag in the garden series.

Creative Blessings!

DAY 8 - #DOTHE100DAYPROJECT

 Good afternoon, crafty friends. 

Coming in a bit late on this lazy Sunday.

I used retired SU 6x6 paper pad - Sunshine & Rainbows. I used their watercolor pencils to color the image. The image is from Cardmaking & Papercrafts magazine issue 181

DAY 7 - #DOTHE100DAYPROJECT

 Good morning, crafty friends!

Scurrying around to get some things done before dinner with Bob. 

I'm finding I need to either make my tag the night before or first thing in the morning to have the best light for photographing in the morning. I'll be checking the weather next week as we're to have storms. I may need to make up & photo a few ahead just in case.

Here is today's tag:

I used retired papers from Stampin' Up! - Petal Garden 6x6 paper, Barely Banana and Soft Sky card stock.

I think the baker's twine is also SU. I braided a yellow/ white with a single strand of solid black to make the tassel.

The bee is from #T stamp set - Garden.

The embossed honeycomb on the yellow strip and the hole reinforcer as well as the sentiment are from a Cardmaking & Papercrafts magazine (2018)
