Unscripted Sketches Challenge #158

Hello!

Welcome to the next sketch challenge for Unscripted Sketches.  This weeks sketch was a bit difficult for me, but in the end, I made it work.  I'm just hoping you can see the sketch in my card. lol  For all of the details on this weeks sketch challenge, click HERE.

I think I've had this paper in my possession, for over a year and a half, maybe?  I've wanted to use it over and over again, but could never get it to work.  I think it worked perfectly to help me with the sketch.  It's not my usual color combo, but I used the below colors from Design Seeds, to challenge myself.

I do hope you'll head over to the US challenge blog to see my fellow designers take on the sketch.  They're pretty cool.
Hugs!

Cardabilities Sketch Challenge #49

Hi again! 
This is my second post for the day.  For my Creative Belli challenge post, please scroll down. 

I'm excited to announce that the next sketch at Cardibilities has been posted, and it's fabulous!  I'm sure by now you've come to realize how awesome I think Karan's sketches are. lol  For all of the details, click HERE.

I decided to go with a round card today.  It's been a while since I've made a shaped card, and this sketch was great for interpretation.  I'm loving the Nestabilities and the yellow rose I've had in my stash.  Of course, the embossing adds another layer of texture, and the colors are fabulous together.  I love this card! 

I've also combined the following challenges into my card.

PDCC #118 - Color Combo (blue & yellow)
Crafty Purple Frog Challenge - Flower Power
Craft Us Crazy #20 - Anything Goes
Phindy's Friday Challenge #92 - Round & Round
The Stamp Man Challenge - Texture
Sweet Stampin' Challenge - CAS

I do hope you'll head over to the Cardabilities blog to see the other gorgeous cards that have been posted.  They're amazing, as usual.

Stay crafty my friends!

I'm A Guest Today!

Hi everyone!

I'm really excited about today's posting.  About a week ago Rochelle from Triplicate Trials Tuesdays contacted me, and asked me to be a guest designer for their next challenge.  I was totally thrilled and honored to be asked to guest for them, and it just so happens that today is the day.  Here is the promtpt for Challenge #11.

Talk about super fab, right?!  The idea is to combine all three elements in your project.  I think this is a super cool idea as I'm always trying to combine challenge elements into my cards anyway.  Here is the card I made for this challenge.

Fortunately for me, I just got these new papers and they were perfect.  I love the small chevron stripes and the elegant damask looking print together.  Top that off with some rolled roses, and I was good to go.

So, seems fun, right?  You can check out what the other designers have created for this challenge HERE.  They're really fun!  Hopefully, you'll get to play along as well.  That would be awesome!

Have a great day!
Hugs!

Thinking of You

Hello!

I hope all of you are having a restful Sunday, enjoying whatever you're doing.  I have been very low key this weekend, only making a venture out to the grocery store, and only because I HAD to.  Needless to say, my creative mojo has been a bit MIA, but here is what I made for Ben's parents.

With some help and support from a new, special someone in my life, I was able to put everything aside to make this card.  I'm hoping they will find it helpful, and somewhat comforting in their time of loss and grief.  I love this card, and I love that it will go to them.  Below are a few challenges that I've included.

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #122 - Sketch (my loose interpretation)

Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge #60 - Buttons

Crazy 4 Challenges #92 - Floss or String

Stamp Something - Something with Pretty Papers

Creative Inspirations #62 - Stitching (real, faux, etc.)

I'm going to try to put together another masculine birthday card for a co-worker.  I'm not sure it will go as planned, but at least I'm going to do something else that's crafty.  I think it will be good to do that.

Hugs!

    

Twisted Sketches #35

Hi ya'll!

This is my second post of the day.  Please scroll down for my US project.

I have another Twisted Sketches card to share with you today.  I love these sketches!  The twist is layer, any how, any way.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

I've been using my Spanish sentiment stamps a lot lately.  Pensando en ti means thinking of you, by the way.  I have several co-workers who have requested cards, so I figured I'd start putting them to better use.  I love how this card turned out.  I wanted simple, but with several layers.  I think I accomplished it pretty well.

I hope you'll head over to the Twisted Sketches blog to see what everyone else has created for today.  Again, I'm totally blown away by how amazing these ladies are.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Steph
