CP Sketch #15

A great sketch is on tap this week at Card Patterns. I just bought some new Pink Petticoat images, so I wanted to use one today. This image is from the "In my Garden" designs and I just love these little birds! My paper today is by Sassafrass and American Crafts. The little flower is also Sassafrass. The ribbon is from my stash. I colored this image with my Sharpies and then I glittered the little birds with some of that fantastic Martha Stewart irridescent white glitter. I also chalked around the edges. Go check out Card Patterns this week as the DT has given us some 'ausome' inspiration! Thanks for stopping by!

Make a Note of It!

Today's challenge at 365 Cards is to incorporate notepaper on your card. Well, I had one more teacher thank you card to make, so I thought this was the perfect challenge. I used American Crafts paper, some ribbon, twine, gem clips and a button from my stash and finished it off with the note paper. The scallop was cut with the Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.

Well, I've done another paper project today that I can't share just yet. (It's for someone's birthday...shhh). I'll share on Wednesday. It's a very rainy day here today, so I'm having a grand time just hanging out and creating in the old craft room. Hope you're having a great Saturday and thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Cards All Year Round - May Challenge

I'm posting this a little late, but better late than never I guess :) The challenge at CCAYR this month is to use flowers on your Christmas card. This is my DT card. I cut the poinsettias with the Cricut using the Joys of the Season cartridge and added stickles. The pp is by Paper Studio. The little branches and the sentiment are rub-ons by American Crafts. Be sure to check out CCAYR for all the great cards by the DT this month. Also, you should join us in participating this month in the challenge. You can get some great Christmas cards done and be ahead of the game this year! Thanks for stopping by!

That's it! I Quilt!

Yep! That's today's title challenge at 365 Cards. We were given a quilt pattern to use on our cards today. I'm trying to make a variety of cards, so this one is for a female graduate. Graduation is coming up soon, so I thought I'd get a start on a few of these. I used paper by American Crafts, some stash of ribbon, buttons and twine and a Basic Grey rub-on. My ribbon looks a little weird on the right side because it got bent in the pic (oh well - I'm NO photographer!). Anyway, be sure to check out the 365 cards site today and see the DT card - amazing!! Thanks for stopping by!

(oh, don't forget.....next week is Scor-it week!!).
