hi

Another quick card to share with you that I created for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

I used papers and embellishments from the Little Yellow Bicycle collection "Splash" along with some American Crafts "thickers" and the sentiment is by Maya Road.

Here is the sketch that I used for inspiration.

Thanks again for stopping by my blog. 

movies and cards

I spent last night watching movies and making cards and wanted to share a couple of them with you today.

This first card was created for a new challenge I found called cards & things challenges. I liked the sketch and had my card planned as soon as I saw it.

I used the Hero Arts "large blossom" cling stamp along with ranger distress inks, glossy accents, proterra kraft cardstock, a PTI sentiment and SU border punch.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.

My next card was created using this weeks sketch from Get Sketchy and the leftover scraps of paper on my desk. Papers are by Little Yellow Bicycle from the "Twig" collection. I also used my new Tim Holtz rosette die, SU leafy branch die, American Crafts thickers and PTI sentiment.

And this is the sketch that I got my inspiration from.

So do you have any plans for the weekend? My plans are to just hang out at home, catch up on some stuff around the house (like floors and toilets) and then play in my craftroom some more.

Be back tomorrow with a couple more cards to share.

Enjoy!

I have two quick cards to share with you today before I head out to work at Anchor Paper Express.

My first card is for this weeks sketch at Clean and Simple Stamping. I have once again used papers, chipboard stickers and journaling cards from the Twig collection by Little Yellow Bicycle.

And here is the sketch that I used.

My next card is for this weeks Get Sketchy challenge . For my card I used papers and buttons by My Minds Eye from the "fine and dandy" collection. 

Here is this weeks sketch.

welcome home mojo ~ welcome home

I think my Mojo finally came back so I made good use of my time yesterday  and created a few cards to share with you over the next couple days.

I created these first two cards using new paper and cardstock stickers that I picked up at Archivers the other day. I love the colors and patterns. This is the TWIG collection by Little Yellow Bicycle.

For inspiration I used the sketch over at sfytt I added some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon and the card was complete.

Next up is a card I created using the WMS sketch for this week. Such a fun little sketch and using the stickers I decided to create a fun little scene.

Here is the sketch I used for inspiration.

I have a couple more cards to share and will do those in a separate post for you.

Enjoy!

Please Pass the Traditions

It is time for my first official post as a DT member over at "A Day for Daisies" and this weeks challenge is "Please Pass the Traditions". Everyone has that tried and true recipe that never lets them down. So create a card using your favorite recipe.

I created my card using my Moms french toast recipe which is a favorite of my family as well as my nieces and nephews who come over.

For my card I used the newly released 40's dressed lady. I love her dress which has so many coloring combinations or you could paper piece it and totally change the look of the dress.

I hope you will stop over and play along with us on this challenge. You have until November 18th to upload your card.

Enjoy!

happy holidays

Another quick card for you since I am still out of town visiting family.

This card is for the new challenge over at Techno Stamper and it is a sketch challenge.

For my card I used papers from Little Yellow Bicycle along with my BasicGrey embossing folders by Sizzix. Notice how the little tree on my card matches the embossing folder. I love that BasicGrey got Sizzix to make embossing folders to match last years holiday papers. I added some pom-pom ribbon and rubon by pebblesinc..

Enjoy!



let it snow ~ tesc131

It is Wednesday and I will be spending the next 5 days over at Cassie and Micah's house while their Mom is at work and Dad is in Prague for business. I am hoping that my scheduled post are working while I am away.

I have a card for this weeks challenge over at Taylored Expressions and am using some more of the new paper I picked up at Archivers this past weekend. These papers and sticker are from Little Yellow Bicycle called "Christmas Delight". Don't you just love the little reindeer and flannel papers?

And here is the fun sketch that inspired my card.

Enjoy!

happy birthday - ho ho ho

I needed a birthday card for my mother-in-law later this week and thought the sketch over at Sassy Lil Sketches would be just perfect.

I used some new papers from Jillibean Soup along with some Webster Pages ribbon roses that I had been hoarding for awhile.

My next card is for the newest sketch over at 2S4Y I looked at the sketch and saw a Christmas Card in the making.

The papers are from The Little Yellow Bicycle, the snowflake is a Cuttlebug die and the button is from PTI.

 I will be back tomorrow with the newest challenge over at Sasya's Sketches and I am sponsoring them this week and am giving away some handmade wrinkle ribbon and satin flowers so I hope you will stop back.

Enjoy!

life is a beach...

It has finally cooled off here today and the humidity is almost non-existent. Now that is probably because it is grey, cloudy, and rainy outside.

I got a new stamp in the mail yesterday that I had won from Claudia and Company and it is Christian who is one of Lori Boyd's "puddle jumpers". I think they are so cute and it worked perfect with some scraps of paper I had sitting on my desk.

The inspiration for this sketch besides this cute little image was the sketch over at Pals Paper Arts.

Enjoy!
