Hello

Welcome to another installment of Sketch~N~Scrap card sketch challenge! I've been trying to use different stamp sets that I have accumulated over the years and haven't really "broke" in.  This time I used a really cute bee set.


Here is the sketch

Here is my card

Cantigny Park

Welcome to another wonderful Sketch~N~Scrap layout challenge.  Today I chose to use pictures of my sons 8th grade history class trip to Cantigny Park (I totally forgot about them until I found them lol)

Here is the sketch

Here's my layout.  I did change the picture layout up a bit as my husband was on this trip and only took 1 way pictures.  It worked out well in the end though.

I used a lot of Kiwi Lane templates for this layout.  I didn't really have a lot of embellishments that worked with this paper so using the templates kept it easy and simple.

Count Your Blesssings

Hello! I am back and having some crafting fun today.  I created this card using a sketch from Stampnation.  I recently joined and am loving all the inspiration over there.  This is the first challenge I've done there and can't wait to see the end result of the contest.

Here is my card I made.  This is basically a one layer card.  My white cardstock is so thin that I had to mount it onto something or it wouldn't stand.

Supplies: seaglass, pixie, banana and candy ink, hooray4kitclub sentiment stamps, candles4birhtday and morecandles2stamp stampsets (all items listed above are from The Stamps of Life), tuxedo black ink, white cardstock, pink cardstock, pink/white twine

Happiness is...Just Us Girls Challenge #407

Good morning! I started making this card yesterday and it just wouldn't cooperate for me.  Needless to say the first one ended up torn and in the garbage (we all have projects like that right?)

So this morning I gave it another go.  I used the color challenge from Just Us Girls and let me say I SO wanted to do patriotic for this but felt the need to go out of the box and not! 

Here is the challenge

Here is my finished card.  I'll be honest the card came together rather quickly but getting a decent picture took forever.

Sprinkling You

Good morning and welcome to another Sketch~N~Scrap card sketch challenge.  I had a lot of fun with my new donut stamp set! This card came together super fast (or my mojo finally came back).

Here is the sketch

Here is my card

Supplies: donut dies, donuts2stamp, cardstock and designer paper, twine and sparkle red paper.

Spidy Pumpkin

I am so excited about the coming season.  For some reason when fall hits I feel renewed and ready to go.  When the leaves fall it's like a new year ( I know, I know, spring is usually the start over point). I love the fall smells, decorations and the cool, crisp air that comes. 

So, when Stephanie Barnard came out with the new pumpkin fold it card I just HAD to have it!! Then she came out with the makers challenge over at Sizzix using her fold it cards and boom, this card was born lol. I am so happy with how this turned out and I think I'm going to make some for Thanksgiving to!

I've had this paper sitting around for about 4 years now.  I love the different patterns so I haven't been using it in fear of using it all up.  But the web paper just seemed to fit!

Supplies: pumpkin fold it die,  bewitched patterned paper, tangerine tango, whisper white, chocolate cardstock,

Live Simply

Live Simply, that is such a great way to live. I love how dogs have such a simple life.  All they need is food, water and lots and lots of love. 

I found this great picture of one of my dogs and just had to use it.  I can't believe I hadn't yet!  I took this during the winter but love how it turned out using this summer paper pack I found. 

I used the sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap to create this.

Here is the finished project.  How can you resist that face?!
