Thank You....for challenges

Good Monday Morning Peeps!


Today's card share is one I made with a few challenges in mind. I love sketch challenges and I used the Fall to Layout 105 on the Clean & Simple Blog for this card.

I also used the Curtain Call Color Challenge for the colors.

And I am also including the Anything Goes Challenge on the Paper Players Blog


My card is started with a base of crumb cake card stock and I followed that with a piece of Concord Crush, BTW I LOVE that color, and then I followed that up with my whisper white. I stamped the flower stem from the "For All You Do" stamp set with Pear Pizzazz ink. I then stamped on a scrap piece of white the flowers in concord and pear and cut them out and mounted them to the white with some foam tape. I wish I could pick my flower up and move it to the right just a bit because it seems just slightly off center, but I really didn't want to re-do so I shouldn't have even mentioned it but didn't want those of you who noticed this to think I was un-aware...LOL!!!

I stamped the butterfly with pear pizzazz ink and cut out and added to the card with some more foam tape. I stamped the sentiment with concord crush ink onto the pear pizzazz card stock and punched it out with my word window punch. I added some silver pearls to the butterfly center, the flower centers and the sentiment. I used some more concord crush and a MS edge punch for the side piece and finished it off with some white satin ribbon.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

CCMC112....Thinking of You

Good Saturday Morning Peeps!!!

Today's card share is made with this week's challenge on Create with Connie & Mary this week it is color challenge. The colors are Pacific Point, Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi and Basic Black. Of course you can also throw Whisper White in there!

I have to say this card is a big variance from my norm, I was striving for something different, something funky and cool, not sure I achieved that but it is alright huh?

The stamp set I used is the For All You Do set and the sentiment comes from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set. I used some retired Pacific Point DS paper from the Good Morning Sunshine pack. I cut some squares and layered them on the side randomly. I used my sewing machine and added some black zig-zag lines. I then used some black grosgrain ribbon and "scrunched" it between the sewing lines. The sentiment was made with the word window punch and the modern label punch and is mounted to the card with some foam tape. I added a black photo corner with some small half pearls. The pearls are also on the flower and the sentiment piece.

Well, what do you think? Leave me a comment and let me know. I will be back in the AM with another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Card.

Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

SSSC80.......For All You Do

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING PEEPS!!! It's my favorite time of the week, time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Sample

Here is the fabulous sketch Karen has for us this week:





OK I have to admit I am slow to get on the bandwagon of the vintage/distress trend, I really have trouble with the whole distress thingy, it goes against the grain for me, I am a clean, crisp and layers type girl. I LOVE all the vintage I am seeing, I just don't do it so well.

This card is a 5 inch square and the base is made with crumb cake card stock and then I followed that up with real red. The next layer is more crumb cake and I distressed this layer with my distressing tool. I used the stamp set, Just Believe and For All You Do. I inked up the flower with my markers and stamped onto whisper white, I used the spiral edge punch on each white piece. I sponge with my crumb cake ink pad and distressed and ripped and folded. The two side pieces are stamped with sentiments from the For All You Do Stamp set. I added a bow, some red brads and a mini library clip.


I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week, I would love to see what you come up with, create a card or scrapbook page with this sketch and then go to Karen's blog and link up your project for all of us to see.
