thinking of you

Another quick card to share with you before I head out the door and up to North Dakota for a couple days to visit my oldest sister and also to meet my nephews newest addition to his family.

My card is for this weeks sketch challenge over at Clean and Simple Stamping. It is a square card this week and I have used my new Cosmo Cricket "wanted" mini deck along with some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon.

I absolutely love the colors in this paper pack the browns, blues and greens are just yummy.

I wanted to show you the sketch that inspired my card but blogger is not behaving for me today and only lets me upload one card.

I have post scheduled to go up while I am away since I will not have access to my blog while I am gone.

Enjoy!

one of those days!

Did you ever have one of those days where you had plans to do a lot of things and when it was all said and done, you didn't hardly make a dent in the to-do list?

Today was one of those days. I had plans to go and spend the day scrapbooking and ended up doing everything but that.

I do have some cards to share with you. this first one is for the challenge at Eat, Sleep, Stamp and for this card I used another new pure innnocence set that I bought at the last MFT release party. I also used some October Afternoon "thrift shop" papers.

My next card is for cardabilities sketch #7 ~ my friend Amy just made the design team over there and this is her first week doing the challenge with the rest of the team. For this card I used some new papers that I picked up at Archivers yesterday called So Sophie by My Mind's Eye. I love the fun colors.

My last card is for Clean and Simple Stamping and for this one I used a new stamp by Hero Arts called "elegant weeds" and some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon.

 I will try and post a layout or two tomorrow as my friend Amy has challenged me to a scrapbook layout challenge.

Enjoy!

finally friday ~ let the crop begin

It is finally friday and I am planning on heading over to Archivers today to do some serious scrapbooking. Sometimes it is fun to get out of your normal space and go to a new one. I like going and meeting new people as well as sharing ideas.

First I have a couple cards to share with you and I apologize for the lighting as it is kind of early and the sun isn't all the way up yet.

This first card is for the challenge over at EBTKS and it is my first time doing this challenge. I love the clean and simple sketch.

I used some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon along with my swiss dots embossing folder. That fun little oval is from October Afternoon label stickers and the sentiment is from pebblesinc.

This next card is for the challenge over at CCEE and it is another simple sketch. I have used my new Websters Pages papers on this card along with a Hero Arts stamp.

Enjoy your day and I will be back tomorrow with a card and maybe a layout or two.

sasya's sketches #19 x3

I got a little carried away while watching the movie "The Proposal" and ended up making 3 cards for the same card challenge.

I don't know why I did it ~ maybe I liked the sketch, or maybe I didn't like the way the card turned out so I created a new one. Anyways here they are in the order they were created, but first the sketch that inspired me from Sasya~Sketches.

Card #1

Card #2

Card #3

Okay so which one is your favorite? I have mine but I won't reveal until I hear from all of you. The wrinkle ribbon on the 3rd card is some that I made in my latest batch. Don't you just love the little Pure Innocence stamp? She was just sitting on my desk waiting to be inked up for the first time, and that Webster's Pages ribbon roses. Yummy!

Enjoy!

ahoy ~ bumbo

Just a quick post this morning before I head out to work at Anchor Paper.

I have been busy as a bee making different colors of the wrinkle ribbon and thought I would share a picture with you.

If you are interested in purchasing some leave me a comment or send me an email and I can give you the information.

Okay, since I had all this fabulous ribbon sitting here in front of me I had to use it on a card so decided to use it on the card for the July challenge over at Claudia and Company. This months challenge was to use pink and aqua.

Isn't the image of this little boy just the cutest? I bought this over at Mo's digital pencil.

My scrapbook layout is for an 8x8 book I am doing of some of  Micah's baby photos.

The layout was inspired by the sketch challenge over at Design Dollies Sketchday.

I sprayed my page with two different colors of glimmer mist and although it isn't the exact look I was going for I think It turned out okay. t I need to figure out how you get the splotches instead of the full spray so  I will have to work on that.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my blog.

Enjoy!
