friends...

Hello!

Almost the weekend...the long weekend for U.S. peeps...oh-so-looking forward to it!

I have a card that is chockfull of goodness...

Chocolate and Green..

The card base is SU chocolate chip....the patterned paper is Jillibean...the stamps are WPlus9 {I finally inked up my Woodgrain Silhouettes!!}...the copic'd leaves do match IRL:) The sentiment is EAD Designs Good Times Vinyl Rub-Ons in brown. Seriously, if you haven't tried EAD Vinyl Rub-Ons you really should...thick BUT easy to adhere...that's the key...easy smeasy AND they come in like a gazillion colors:)

I was inspired by the latest Get Sketchy Challenge:

I haven't played over there in a while...{{Hi Girls!!!}}....

I was also inspired by the Cards challenge, One Word Sentiment Cards....gotta love Paige's challenges!

Okie Dokie...I'll be back tomorrow...with some craftiness and I'll also post the EAD Weekly Steal...you won't want to miss it:)

cafe...

♥♥just a reminder that I'm on a bloggie break but please still leave me a comment..I'll be picking random comments from my scheduled blog post and slinging out some candy♥♥

Coffee...who doesn't LOVE coffee??!!!

I found the Hero Arts "big cup" cling image on sale at my local craft store and couldn't resist it:)

I teamed up the big cup with an EAD sentiment and some October Afternoon....I finished it off with some PTI buttons and pearls...

I was inspired by the latest and greatest Get Sketchy!

Thanks for stoppin' by!!!

Hello and TGIF!!!!

Today is Get Sketchy Friday! We are on sketch #28 and it is my last official project for Get Sketchy but the girls asked me to stay on as an alumni...I get to play along when I can...how perfect is that?!

Make sure you check out the NEW Get Sketchy Girls...oh my...such fabbie choices!!!

The sketch? No sketch...your challenge...to make a shaped card with the Bonus Challenge of using a Spring theme!

The Sponsor for this week is Daisy Bucket Designs!

The prize:

Card Blanks and Rub-ons, Stamp

I teamed up the Pink shaped Daisy Bucket Card blank with Jillibean goodness...cute owlies...Did you know that I might have a thing for owls? I lucked out that the pink was still threaded on the 'ole Janome...

Here's the inside of the first fold...who wouldn't love the surprise of finding a Starbucks card?

Grrr...sorry, because the owlie panel ended up being heavy it makes the card difficult to photog ...LOL...sorry for the shadows...but I really wanted to share the inside of the card..

Live Creatively

design a life you love

I ♥♥love♥♥ that...

It's a Daisy Bucket rub on..pretty coolio, dontcha think?

Okay, show us what you've got and get crafty!

Happy Get Sketchy Friday!!!

I tell you, this week has gone by but it is definitely a challenge to transition from vaca mode to month end crazy work mode. Although, realistically, I'm just grateful that I have a job...

Okay, onto some crafty fun...

Check out who our sponsor is this week!

Love the the sketch...

The Get Sketchy Design Team had the opportunity to work with some fabulously fun Inktegrity images...I picked a fun sentiment:

I thought it was perfect teamed up with Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl. You know me and Cosmo Cricket :)

I hope that you'll join in the fun over at Get Sketchy!!!

Okay, here are some notes:

I forgot to mention in my blog post yesterday that I'm staying on the 365 Cards Design Team as Super Sketchy Sunday Designer...soooo thrilled to continue to be a part of all that fun!

Jacksonbelle has some fabbie new stuff including ZVA {LOVE that stuff} and MFT...check it out... Jenni Bowlin and Stampavie are 30% off!!!!

Welcome to Get Sketchy #26!

Great sketch...

Bonus Challenge: Use only 2 colors

This week we're being sponsored by Wags 'n Whiskers!

Check out the Get Sketchy blog for the Prize Deets!

I was a slight rebel on the Bonus Challenge but I did primarily use Red & Blue!

I used the Happy Day stamp! I really did color the girl with Copic Skin White but you can't tell that by the pic...I'm still diggin' Basic Grey Cupcake...and did a bunch of paper piecing...

Hope that you'll join in on the Get Sketchy fun!!

TGIF!!!!

Today is Get Sketchy Day!

Our sponsor this week is AiFactory!

We're up to sketch #25!

The Design team got to play with the Ella in Love image:

I glitzed Ella up with Stampin' Up Dazzling Diamonds:) The paper is super old from the 'ole SEI stash'ola....It's a petite card...4.25 x 4.25. Seriously, what would I do without ribbon, buttons and twine? I found a whole roll of twine in the beading area of my LCS, Ben Franklin...tons of it for under $5. I bought some twine at the Target $ spot but it's way to thick and unruly to thread through button holes...

I hope that you'll join in the Get Sketchy fun!!!

Birthday Girl and Flying High...

TGIF my friends!!!

Today is a pretty exciting day..for a couple of reasons...

It is Get Sketchy day!

We're being sponsored by InStyle stamps! The prize is 5 digi images from Instyle!

I also have something I wanted to share with you by Courtney Baker and her new Practicing Creativity set!

Okay, check out this week's Get Sketchy #24...the Bonus Challenge is Polka Dots!

I ended up rotating the sketch....and used the ultra fun InStyle Mykai image...

Those of you that know me might know that I love Cosmo Cricket...LOL...I paper pieced Mykai with some Early Bird polka dots...See that japanese print panel? Yup, it's a book page from something that I picked up at a rummage sale...gotta love it!!! What's that you say...why yes, I did stamp...The stamping on the japanese print panel and the sentiment are part of Courtney's You're Dandy set!

Here's another card using the You're Dandy set...

I've been enjoying making scenery cards...lots of swiss dots and pop dots too! I managed to use several of the images from the You're Dandy set...the rays...the kite {Like the blingy kite string??!!}, the clouds and the sentiment!

The You're Dandy set will be available tonight for purchase on the Practicing Creativity site at midnight eastern! These stamps are made in the US with high-quality photopolymer...they rock:)

You just gotta pop over to Courtney's blog to see some FABULOUSLY Fun cards using the You're Dandy set!!!

eat dessert first...

TGIF!!!!!

Sheesh, I need a vacation from my vacation...I'm trying to catch up at home and work is crazy busy....

Okay, enough about that...Let's Get Sketchy!!!

This week's sponsor is Papermom.com!

Be sure to pop over to Papermom.com...it is chock full of goodness!!!

The prize for is 3 Papermom.com Digi-images!

Here's the sketch...Bonus Challenge is to make a Birthday Card!

I'm still trying to stand by the "use what I got" motto....so I pulled out my Basic Grey for this one...

I paper pieced the PaperMom image and glitz'd it up with Kaiser bling. I used some fun Provo Craft chippie...shouldn't that be every girl's motto:

She always ate dessert first...

Just for fun I added a ZVA flourish.....

I don't make many Gate Fold cards...perhaps it is because they are so "fun" to photog...LOL.


I know that I've posted these pics earlier but I thought it was only fitting to share them again since they are my Get Sketchy peeps and today is Get Sketchy day!

me & Bree!

me & Shemaine!

I posted this over on the Torendi site but wanted to share it here too..

Making Memories has jumped into the vintage jewelry scene...and I couldn't be any happier!

Lookie what we got to do as a Make 'n Take!!

You can bet that I'll be jumping in with both feet and designing some jewelry...love how feminine the Making Memories new line is..

Have a super Friday!!!
