Hello...and an incredible RAK...

Hello!

I can't tell you how happy I am that it is a short work week...only 3 days...woot woot!!!

I was able to get a ton of crafty stuff done over the weekend..I try to do most of my week's cards over the weekend...it makes for a less stressful work week.

Today I'm sharing the latest RSCC#19:

The lavender was throwing me...I'm not a lavender kind of gal BUT I'm always up for a challenge:

The chippie tree is Maya Road...I colored the trunk with a copic and covered the other part with SU designer paper...The apples are Fancy Pants buttons {good for the Cards Magazine blog challenge to include at least 5 buttons!}. The cloud paper & hello rub on are American Crafts...Do you see my lavender? Yup, it is the Marvy butterfly!

The hello banner is actually kind of wavy...kwim? I anchored it down by the "h" and by the 2nd "l"...

I wanted to share another RAK that I received last week. I decided to hijack Yvonne's blog...her pic is gorgeous...check out the lovely piece of art she made me....I know, pretty incredible...it is quite the keepsake...please leave her some blog love...it arrived intact all the way from Singapore!!!!

our family traditions...

Good Morning!

Before I start chatting about 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday, I wanted to let you know that I'll be posting my blog candy winner for the 365 Cards Blog Hop on a separate post.

Okay, onto today's sketch! I was a slight rebel on the sketch...

This is my take on it...I decided against using any of the yellow part of the sketch {insert evil laughter}.

Are you trying to spot the Cosmo Cricket? It's the blue base paper...it is from their Get Happy line! Do you notice anything different? Maybe something that I don't typically do on my cards...like ever? Yup, check it out ladies...I made a Bunny Ears Ribbon Bow! Have you ever noticed that I never make bows on my cards...yes, I use ribbon but it is a glorified knot..that's it, that's all. You'll be seeing the traditional bow alot, thanks savitri, being the slow person that I am, I actually watched that tut 2 or maybe 3 times...duh.

All the epoxy embellies are Love Elsie...the button is fancy pants. The ribbon, twine & felt snowflake are SU.

For you Google Readers have you ever checked out your trends? Here is a portion of mine:

From your 574 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 7,567 items.

I got 2 words for you:

Good Grief.

Oh Boy!

Hello!

What's that? Yes, this is a Cosmo Cricket sponsored card...well, kind of. Way back when I submitted cards for the Cosmo Cricket DT, Julie Comstock, Cricket Queen, sooooo kindly gave everyone that submitted for the DT some $$ to spend over at miss PAPER JANE!!! Now how fabbie is that??!!!! I spent my bucks on the Get Happy line...why? Because I didn't have any of that delish stuff!

The sfytt really challenged me...a ton...I kind of feel like my card is lop-sided....heavier on the right than on the left. The Fancy Pants button probably doesn't help but I love how it brings out the blue polka dots on the paper panel underneath :)

This is going postal to a friend of mine that is soon to have a baby boy, baby #3..crazy woman :)

birthday bash

Welcome to 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!!!

I tell you, I was staring at Pam's sketch for awhile and then I started rotating it until...aha! Yes, I decided to do it upside down..LOL.

Originally I was going to use some Sassafras scalloped edges for the borders on the sketch. I started to look through my Whale of a tale pad and decided to fussy cut the wave pattern instead. The buttons and hat pins in the corner are from a Peachy Cheap buy ala Fancy Pants {hmmm...could be from Flowers to Flourishes}. The Birthday Bash rub on is Basic Grey.

I made this specifically for my friend's daughters upcoming 16th birthday. I can't believe how time flies...I remember when she was born...I've known my friend for 31 years...oy vey, now that makes me feel old.

Anywho's, I look forward to seeing your take on Pam's fabbie sketch!
