Happy Saturday...which means it is a new Card Patterns Sketch!!!

We all hope that you enjoyed the Card Patterns 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop! Thanks to all of you that hopped by my blog and left me such sweet comments on my Hero Arts Three Silhouettes card!  The Blog Hop Winners will be posted on Monday along with the Super Six and Guest Designer!

Check out the fun sketch for this week:

I rotated it and kept it pretty clean and simple:

The card base is PTI kraft...I think all my cards start with that:)  All the patterned paper is from my friend Sherry...it is Webster's goodness {thanks sista!!!}.  I have to admit that I adore Webster's papers BUT I have a heck of a time slicing through it...I tried to keep the image as intact as possible...I managed to use one sheet since it is double sided...I fussy cut the floral design {which is on dimensionals} to add more interest to the window.  I was thinking of adding a sentiment but didn't want to 'disturb' the scenery...

I'm looking forward to seeing how the sketch inspires you!

I decided to play with the Mittens image...I'm steadily adding to my holiday card stash....

A huge shout out to my bloggie buddie Sherry...she passed along a bunch of papers {& blooms!}.   Today's patterned paper was part of the stash, Webster's Pages!  I love to paper piece...so the mittens have the contrasting papers...I topped off the card with Chocolate Delight Queen & Co pearls...

Happy Monday!!!!

How was your weekend? I had a ton of stuff to do and didn't get to all of it...it's usually the house cleaning that gets booted from the list...haha....

Make sure you check out my other post for today...you don't want to miss it...

Okay, today is the 30th...good grief, can you believe that it is already the 30th??!!!! Anywho's, that means it is a Cardabilities reveal...

Check out the sketch...

I was determined to use my beloved Websters Pages goodies that I've been hoarding....and yes, I couldn't resist squeezing in a sweet mini banner:)

The 'always celebrate your happiness' and the 'party time' are made out of fabric....super duper coolio but not the easiest for me to remove from the packaging...

Make sure you pop over to the Cardabilities blog to check out the fantastic cards that the other Design Team girls created and hey, maybe you'll be inspired to play along!!!!!

This is a super FUN filled week for me....be sure to check back tomorrow for another fun announcement and don't forget to peek at my 'other post' for today...busy day:)

lemonade....

Happy Saturday!!!!

Today I've combined Kazan's sketch 33 and some new Cutting Cafe printable stamps!

Lemons...you gotta love their tart flavor...typing about tarts...that would be my favorite dessert...Lemon Tart...Mmmmm...anywho's, Regina has come out with a fabbie For the Love of Lemons Printable Stamp Set.

Don't you love the sentiment? I nestled the Lemon printable stamp onto a Webster's Pages panel...love, love, love their stuff. I only break it out when I know that I can get away with minimal cutting. I finished off the front of the card with Kaiser Craft pearls and SU twill. I even kind of decorated the interior of this card. I don't usually do that...it is the true laziness in me but I started off with just the lemon image and then decided against it for the front of the card...I saw it sitting on my work top and decided to slap it on the inside.

♥blog candy alert ♥

Okay, here's the good news...Regina is letting me give away the For the Love of Lemons Printable Stamp set!!! I'll leave the commenting open for the blog candy until midnite PDT tonight and announce the winner on Sunday morning. Just leave me a comment, nothing to it...easy smeasy lemon squeezy...LOL..I crack me up!

ShortCuts Week, Day 6.

365 Cards Challenge:

Paper Piercing

With the help of my friend & co-worker, I've recently discovered the wonderful goods by Webster's Pages, specifically their Journaling cards. They are mini pieces of art! I have a hard time covering them up or slicing into them but I thought it was only appropriate to make a birthday card out of one of them for my co-worker.

I did a smidge of piercing for the challenge and then opt'd for clean and crisp. I seriously was going through my embellie stash but didn't want to "clutter it up". It was perfect to nestle onto a ShortCuts frosted card base...

There are sooo many creative ways to use the piercing technique. I can't wait to see yours!
