Christmas Card

 We've got a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. We have a new sketch every Monday and on Wednesday we reveal the DT Members examples and announce the previous week winners. 

Here's the sketch

I thought this was such a cute sketch! I decided to make another Christmas card so I dug through my Christmas paper scraps and found this very old piece and it just happened to be the perfect size....only had to cut it down a little. The image was just sitting on my desk since last Christmas so I just die cut it into a circle and mounted it on some green foil paper. The sentiment stamp is a new one from the Thrill of Hope collection from Pink Fresh. Then just added the bow and it was done!

7th Grade

 We've got a new sketch up today over at Sketches in Thyme. This is such a great sketch. I really enjoyed creating all the angles in this sketch. And I just happened to have a 5x7 school photo of my granddaughter sitting on my desk. So, stop by and play along with us!

Here's the sketch by Shawn Lahr

I've had the busy patterned paper for years and so glad I finally found a layout where I could use it. I didn't want to take away from the photo so used black cardstock to calm down the busy paper. It took a while to get all the angles figured out but I'm very happy with the end results.

Thanks for stopping by!

Joyful

 We've got a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. Every Monday we have a new card sketch and on Wednesday we reveal the DT members examples and announce the winners from the previous week. I hope you'll stop by and join us!

Here's the sketch

I thought this sketch would make a pretty Christmas card.  I belonged to a Card kit club years ago and still have a lot of leftover papers from it so I decided to start using it. I found this purple collection but I have no idea whose it is. Anyway, I loved the colors and thought it would be perfect for this sketch. The stitched sentiment tag is from MFT and the Joyful sentiment is from Momenta.

I decided to make a Christmas card using this sketch. The papers are from an old Craft Smith pad called Gold Gift. I matted them with black to really make them pop against the cream card. The joy sticker I found in my stash and have no idea where it came from. lol

Ready To Read

 We've got a new challenge up today over at Cookin' Up Creations. This month our theme is based on the old show The Brady Bunch. All challenges will be related to the show or actors.

When I think about The Brady Bunch I remember the fashion trends from that period and yes I wore some of those fashions. So my challenge is based on those trends. You will need to have some zigzags on your page, which I did with a stencil and some Distress Oxide. You will also need to add some fringe to your layout. I used an old pair of Martha Stewart fringe scissors to cut some cardstock into fringe. So there you have it....this is my retro fashion layout.

Thank you for stopping by!

 

Birthday Truck Card

 We've got a new card sketch challenge up today at Atlantic Hearts Sketches. We have a new one every Monday and on Wednesday we announce the previous weeks top three winners along with the Design Team members examples. I hope you'll stop by and play along with us.

Here's the sketch

This was a fun sketch to work with. I needed a birthday card for my brother so I went the masculine route. My brother's favorite colors are red, gray and blue and he just bought a new blue truck. Perfect! I found the truck on Cricut and then just hit my solid color scraps and die cut all the banners using a large fishtail die from MFT. It came together so fast!

Here's the sketch

I thought this sketch was perfect for a Christmas card. I used papers from an old 6x6 paper pad from Craft Smith called Gold Gift. All the papers are gold and off white. The greenery in the corner was all die cut with Momenta dies. I decided on some black cardstock for the card to make the gold stand out.

New Year's Eve

 I've got a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. This month's theme is all about Winnie the Pooh with lots of fun challenges that have to do with this famous little bear. 

My challenge is all about the honey that Winnie the Pooh loves so much. You'll need to use gold and hexagons on your layout. I started with a black background and splattered some gold mist around and then used a hexagon stencil with some gold ink. I added two gold strips behind the photo as well. The title offset paper is also gold. I hope you'll come join us for this fun theme!

Chihuly Museum

 There's a new sketch up today at Sketches in Thyme. This weeks sketch is by Brenda Ragsdale.  I love this sketch but really had to change it up to work with my photos. 

Here's the sketch

Since I didn't have a set of 4 photos that would work, I decided to use two 4x6 photos. I also kept the background simple as I didn't want to take away from the photos. Once I figured out what I wanted to do it came together quickly. I cut the wreath and title with offset with my Cricut. Added some splatters and that was it.
