Unscripted Sketches Challenge #183

Welcome!

I apologize but this post will be short and sweet.  I'm sorry for the delay, but I forgot to schedule this post, and I overslept.  I didn't realize that dealing with more than one teenager for the last two days was going to be so exhausting. lol  I'm glad the birthday festivities went well though. 

There's a new sketch challenge posted over at Unscripted Sketches.  It's a sweet sketch, and leaves a lot of room for interpretation.  For all of the details, click HERE.

 

It's been a while since I've created a masculine card, so that's what I did.  I wanted to make a card to send to my friend in New York.  He lives in the Bronx, and was totally unharmed by the hurricane that devastated that area.  The inside of this card says "I'm glad you're ok!".  Simple, but effective for getting my message across. lol 

 

I do hope you'll head over to the US blog to see what wonderful projects have been posted.  They're all pretty fantastic, as usual.

 

I'll leave you with a snapshot of the birthday festivities.  I'm so glad she had a great time.  They laughed and were loud, and ate tons of food, and just enjoyed being together.  In the midst of all of the legal stuff (that went in our favor, thank God) we're both dealing with, I'm glad she had a good birthday, and was happy.

 



Have a wonderful day!
Hugs!

Papercraft Star Challenge #19

Happy Halloween!

How's your week going?  Are you excited to see all of the adorable kiddies running around tonight?  I'm excited!  My week is going alright, but just alright.  As I type this up, I'm currently at my mothers, getting ready to go to court to deal with an issue with my ex-husband.  Usually, I try not to say too much about personal stuff, but today I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything.  Why do people do stupid things that cause harm to others?  Ugh!  I'm SO happy to be here with my mom, but I hate the reason that I'm here.  Things can only get better though, right?  Like tomorrow we're celebrating Sydney's 16th birthday.  I can't wait for her to see what I got her.  I have to admit, it is pretty awesome.  I mean, you only turn 16 once! ;)

Anyway, onto this weeks Papercraft Star project.  The theme this week is:

Warm Beverages!

 

Fortunately for me, I have now accumulated a few different sets with images I could have used for this challenge.  Here is what I came up with.

 



 

I'm digging how this turned out, although this is attempt #2.  The first one got thrown in the trash for being so hideous. lol  Anyway, I've got another card for my stash.  Yay!  I'm also submitting this to the following challenges:

The Paper Players #119 - Sketch
That Craft Place - Tic Tac Toe (i used lace, twine (subbed for ribbon), and dies)

I can't wait for you to see what stunning projects are posted over at the PCS blog today.  I'm totally blown away by the projects my fellow desingers create each week.  To say that I'm honored to be amongst such talent is an understatement.  You really should head over and see what I'm talking about.  You won't regret it!

I'm off to deal with life, and then it's party planning time.  On a side note, I've gained back 3 of the 7 pounds I had lost.  Guess I'll just have to try harder next week.  I'll leave on a positive note, and share a picture of Sydney from her first homecoming dance.  Hard to believe she's all grown up already. *sigh*

Have a great day!
Hugs!

Unscripted Sketches Challenge #182

Hiya!

Happy Saturday friends!  I woke up this morning and it was a chilly 37 degrees outside.  Finally, some fall weather here in the DFW area.  The highs for this weekend are only going to be in the 60's and I'm really looking forward to that.  I'm going to open the windows and work on some crafty projects.   

Anyway, onto why you're here.  I have another Unscripted Sketches project for you today.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

I had a co-worker ask me to make a Halloween card for her son.  He's a bit under the weather, and they're not going to be able to go trick or treating this year, so she is going to make him a goodie bag.  These colors are her idea, based on a few Design Seeds photos I showed her (i've included it below).  She asked me not to make it scary or anything, so this is what I came up with.  I hope she likes it. 

 
I do hope you'll head over to the US blog to see what other fabulous projects are posted.  Maybe you'll get the chance to play along as well. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs!
