Unscripted Sketches #51

Whilst I was blog hopping today I came across a sketch on a blog and it was a challenge for Unscripted Sketches. So this is my take on the sketch.

I also have a challenge going with one of my Cricut Friends which is to make 2 cards using a specific cartridge that we have - the ones we do not use a lot or had to have and not used, this week was Designer's Calendar - The birthday Bow & flower was cut from the cartridge.

Supplies: SU Paper, AC cardstock, Designer's Calendar Cricut Cartridge, Kaisercraft - Bling, Ink & Ribbon and a button from my stash.

Have a great day and happy crafting.

Day 129 - You Have Me in Stitches


Today's challenge was to stitch an image on our card. Not just around the outside of the card, but an actual image. A flourish DOES count, since these are typically quite detailed. I did struggle with the challenge, I tried hand stitching but that did not work so I turned to my sewing machine and stitched the stems of the flowers - I have not put a sentiment on the card as yet because I am not sure what to use it for - maybe Thank You or Get Well or Thinking of You???

I hope my machine stitching image counts for the challenge.

365 Cards - Day 119 - Seeing a Silhouette & SAS Challenge #21

Today's challenge at 365 Cards is to create a silhouette of an image on your card. This might require some fussy cutting or coloring in a stamped image...

Ok - I cheated on this one - I did not have a silhouette stamp and I cannot even cut a straight line with a ruler so I turned to my cricut - I cut the girl from the New Arrival Cartridge and cut her belly off a bit - so I suppose I did do a bit of fancy cutting. LOL

I used the sketch from Stamps and Smiles - my first time at using one of their sketches.

Paper - Pink Petticoat & Funky Fairy's

Ribbon & Sentiment - Misc from stash.

Rhinestone - Kaisercraft

Day 118 - I've Been Framed

The challenge at 365 Cards today was to create a Frame on our card, I hope my card is correct as I don't want to cause any trouble with doing the wrong thing like some of the ladies yesterday - LOL - you ladies were/are just so funny, it was not good for my bad back, laughing so much with the banter going on. TFS

Have a nice day and happy crafting.

365 Cards - Day 114 - Lovin' Lavender
