The Scrapoholic Sketch Saturday

Hello Everyone it's Sketchy Saturday Challenge time again.  I had alot of fun on  this weeks Sketch and I think you will too.  So head on over to The Scrapoholic's and check out the teams fabulous work and then link up your project so we can see what you've got.

For my Layout, instead of using the circle center that I cut out I used the outside border and put aside the circle for another time. I used the new cartridge pre loaded in the E2 Cricut American Alphabet. I backed the frame with white cardstock for the White center. I added a black strip down the side a couple of photo mats and used a clear stamp set made by Recollections for the sentiments and clocks.

Thank you for looking and please give this sketch a try, the possibilities are endless.

                                                                   

A couple more Mother's Day Cards...non Cricut

Here are a couple more cards I made for Mother's Day.  I had to make them in a hurry so I didn't even use my Cricuts.  I printed out the sentiments on the computer.  I added some bling and ribbon to the top card and used a punch and some ribbon on the bottom card and Ta-Da!! Quick yet pretty cards.

Thanks for stopping by,

Another Mothers Day Card.

Happy Sunday everyone I hope that you've had a wonderful day.  I'm catching up on some pass due blogging.                                                                      I made this card for my Mother in Law.  I'm more of the "cutsie" style card maker but I wanted to make this card a bit more elegant.  I used Mother's Day Bouquet for the flowers and Wild Card for the "Happy Mother's Day".      For the bottom of the card I took some satin like paper, folded it in pleats and sewed it down. Then I glued it between the white and purple card layers.  Then added some pearls to cover the seam. You can't see it very well but the purple paper has Happy Mother's day lightly on it.  I used a Versa Mark stamp pad and a stamp and stamped it all over the paper.  The flowers were cut in several different sizes, crinkled all up and inked. Then attached together with pearl brads.                                                   

            

 Well thank you for stopping by, I look forward to seeing you back again soon.

Thanks for dropping by to take a look. Don't forget to join in the fun and I hope to see you back here again soon!

Happy Mothers Day Card 1

I made all my mother's Day cards and I sent them out on time. I just haven't had much blogging time, not to mention the last couple of days Blogger has been unavailable.  So even though Mother's Day has all ready passed I'd still like to show the cards that I made this year for mothers day. 

This Card I sent to my Cousin in law who has a 1 yr old.  I thought it to be fitting. 

The heart is from George and Basic Shapes.  I cut it using my Gypsy. I sized one at 3.75and the second layer at 3.99.

The Mother holding her baby was cut using A Child's Year.  I cut that at 4.78.  Then I just trimmed it down to fit inside the heart. 

I used a Hero Arts Stamp for the Happy Mother's Day Sentiment and for the wavy border punch is from eKSuccess.

This is only one of a few cards so stay tuned for more Mother's Day action! :)

Sketch Saturday Design Team Challenge

It's that time again, Sketchy Saturday Challenge.  Head on over to The Scrapoholic to see what the Design team has created and then create something of your very own to share.  Here is the sketch we used this week.

Here is the Layout that I came up with.  Now I usually give my self plenty of time for a Layout.  I will take a look at the sketch a week or so before and run idea's through my mind through out the day.  Sometimes I will have great ideas and I will come home and put together a page. Then there are times I struggle with ideas. Well with this one I had an all day out of town field trip to go on with my daughter on Monday.  Well that still gives several days, so I thought.  I woke up on Tuesday sick as could be and I keep thinking it's going to get better and well no.  I can only be up for a couple hours at a time and then I'm exhausted and have to go lay back down.  So I did this Layout in shifts.

The Easter eggs and "Easter" tittle was cut from Designers Calender. The eggs have a touch of stickles.  I went with Easter for the obvious reason, we just had Easter and I have photo's to scrap.  I went to print out my pictures and well of course I was out of ink...Grrrrr! Well, with me being sick, I wasn't up to doing anything about it so for now I left the photo's off. The pink w/ white polka dots paper came out of my scrap folder and the Happy Easter ribbon is from DCWV the spring Adhesive Easter ribbon. Then using doodle charm I cut 3 bunny's and added some googlie eyes. 

I know it is really plain and lacks details but honestly I'm excited that I was even able to do this much. I think this is about all I've done all week besides sleep, oh and watch HSN Launch the E2. So thanks for stopping by and don't forget to give this Layout a try.

                                                              

My Entry for the Provo Craft E2 Contest

I could not believe somehow I never heard about the contest Provo Craft was holding for the E2.  I read about it at work on Tues the 19th of April.  I had to try and win one. You were allowed 3 entries. So that night the goal was to make 3 Layouts.  Well I don't just whip up Layouts, I take forever.  So I was only able to enter one.  I took it the post office on Weds. the 20th.  They had to be in Provo Crafts office by 5 pm on the 22nd so I paid Extra shipping to get it there on time.  I had just gotten the Mini Monster Cartridge so I decided to use it.

I've seen many of the entries all ready and it puts mine to shame but it was fun to enter and I can't wait to watch it all on HSN.

Thanks for stopping over to look and if you've entered to win the E2, Good luck!!
