Twisted Sketches #61 - Congratulations

Hi everyone!

I'm late getting my card posted for this weeks Twisted Sketches challenge as I worked really late all week, and then realized that I had forgotten to create a card, when I tried to create this posting on Friday evening.  Then, yesterday, the weather didn't cooperate enough for me to get a decent photo.  Go figure, lol.  I'm sad to say that this is my last card as a Twisted Sister as my term on this DT has come to an end.  It has been one of my favorite teams, and I will miss it terribly.  Thanks to Anam and Kim who have done a wonderful job with the sketches, and managing all of us.   

Anyway, below is the card I created for this weeks sketch challenge.  This weeks twist is: Summer - any how, any way.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.


For the twist this week, I went with summer colors of blue (for the sky and water) and yellow (the sun).  I needed a wedding card for a friend, and their colors just happened to be yellow and pool blue.  How convenient! lol  I hope she likes it.  It's a bit CAS for me, but I like how it turned out.

I hope you'll head over to see what my Twisted Sisters have created for you.  They're always so inspiring!

Have a great day!

CIC #112 - Celebrate

Hi everyone!

It's Sunday, which brings us to another fabulous Cupcake Inspiration challenge.  This week we have another great sponsor.  Check them out.


Through the Craft Room Door is a fabulous eZine with tons of info and tips, etc.  They also have challenges now.  This weeks lucky winner will receive a full years subscription.  Talk about generous!

Now, onto this weeks photo inspiration.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.


Talk about gorgeous!!  These are some of my absolute favorite colors together, and I just want to tear into those awesome cupcakes. lol  Below is the card I created for this weeks challenge.


I love these colors together, but now that I'm looking at it, I'm not sure I like the strip of dark green patterned paper.  Do ya'll ever create something, and then after the fact, decide it doesn't look right? lol  I don't think I'll change anything, but it does kinda stick out.  I used THIS Cardabilities sketch (#31), and really like the elements all together in the corner.  It's spring, almost summer around here, so I've begun to break out the butterflies on everything again.  Consider yourselves warned, ha! :)

I do hope you'll head over to see what the other Sweeties have created for you today.  They're gorgeous, as usual.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs!
