The Scrapoholics Sketchy Saturday Challenge

Happy Saturday everyone.   It's time for another Sketchy Saturday Challenge over at the Scrapoholics blog.  You can take the sketch below make a page using the sketch as inspiration. Then take your sketch over to The Scrapoholic and link it. But before you do, go see what the design team has come up with.  It's always fun to see how different people perceive the sketch.

Here's the sketch....

This is what I came up with.....

I feel like it doesn't look much like the sketch. But I did start with the sketch and as the page progressed I took some things off and added some things and this is what I came up with.

The "Happy Birthday" I welded together with the Gypsy using Quarter note.

The cake is from Simply Charmed and was cut at 3 inches. I then added googlie eyes and stickles.

The tags were cut with T,B,B&M.

The zig zag on left is a punch from eKSuccess.

The background printed paper is DCWV.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. I hope that you like what you saw and you come back again soon.

The Scrapoholic Sketchy Saturday Challenge!

Happy Saturday everyone. It's another Sketchy Saturday Challenge hosted by Jill over at  The Scrapoholic .  So head on over and see what the design team has created then grab the sketch and play along.

Here is the sketch...

Now I totally changed this sketch up.  I looked at it before I left for a crop.  Then did the layout at a crop.  So I did it completely by memory.  Which apparently isn't too good.  I knew I was going to do School Days instead of the Summer days.  It has some familiarities.

The argyle paper is from the DCWV School Glitter pack

I cut the tags from TBB&M

The Lettering is from Base Camp.

The Pencil is from Simply Charmed

The Apple is from Locker Talk stamped with Peachy Keen (Simple Sallies 1 1/8)

The strips on bottom are Martha Stewart paper borders.

It really is amazing to me to see how different a Layout can turn out by looking at a sketch. I love to look at other people's interpretations of sketches so please play along.  There is a Card Sketch and a Layout Sketch so if you don't do Layouts give a card a try. Once complete link it on Jill's blog so we can all see.

Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you back again soon!

Happy Birthday Easel Care

Happy June everyone. Can you believe it's June all ready? I can't, where has this year gone? Anyhow I made this card for my Mother in Law.  It's an Easel card and the front measures at 4 1/4 x 4 1/4.  I used Happy Birthday paper from one of the DCWV paper packs.  Not sure which one because this was scrap.  The Birthday cake was cut using Simply Charmed and was cut at 3 inches. Then I added sparkle using stickles. Now the green paper on the back ground was cut at 4" using the new Pop-up Neighborhood.  I then embossed it in the cuttle bug using the Polk a dot folder.

Now once the card is opened up I have stamped Time to Celebrate on white card stock.  I then backed it with pink and used the Martha Stewart punch for the swirls.

I was pleasantly surprised at how this card turned out.  I hope that you like it and I hope that she will like it too.

Check back tomorrow for the Schools out for Summer blog Hop!!

                                                                     

A few Easter Cards

Hello everyone hope you all had a Good Friday. I had the kids home all day and we did all of our Saturday Chores today so we would have a free Easter weekend to hang out.  I wanted to share a couple of cards I made for Easter this year.  I did a spring/Easter swap earlier so I used these for my cards.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a "Tweet" Easter!

                                                             

Have a Tweet Easter

I gave my mom a cricut for Christmas this year because she was still cutting things by hand. She'd seen the Cricut and the things that I had made but she just couldn't justify it.  So well I helped things along.  Little did I know it would bennifit me in the end..lol.  She only lives 5 houses down from me and I was over at her place the other night and well I couldn't believe it she had like 5 or 6 cartridges that I didn't have.  So of course I had to put them to use immediatly.  I made this card using  Simply Charmed. Love this cute little chick.  The Easter sentiment was one of those $1 bin ones from the craft store.  I've had this ribbon  in my stash for as long as I can remmeber and don't think I've used it once. I used the Cuttlebug for the polka dot texture. Then added some stickles to the egg shell to give it some sparkle, can never have too much sparkle. Thanks for stopping by hope to see you back again soon!!
