My Time Sketch 20

Since Patrick is gone I have had a lot of time to craft and did a few sketch challenges this week. This one is from Lauren at My Time, My Creations, My Stampendous.

Here is my take. I pulled out some old SU! sets that have not seen sun in awhile. I remember why I don't use them much... I can't line anything up! Sheesh!!

Nonetheless, I did enjoy myself and got to use some paper scraps up too which is always liberating. This was a fun sketch. Thanks Lauren!

Ahoy!

I had such a fun time making up this guy. Its a 5x5 card. Ronin keeps asking if he can have it. Unfortunately I am just like a 4 yr. old and have a hard time sharing. I guess I will have to make another.

Ahoy Matey's.... Have a great week.

Amazing Grace

Todays Card. I love this new color from Papertrey Ink.  Ocean Tides. It's even more beautiful in real life and goes so well with silver. Ahhh. 

I embossed the background images with my favorite embossing powder. I even embossed the brad that wasn't quite silver enough. Just coat with versa mark, dip in powder and heat. Easy.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

KWerner Color Inspiration #38

I actually got to participate this round, but have yet to link it since I am not as computer savvy as I thought. I hope to get it linked tomorrow. So here is my card using this weeks colors:
I made a flap card. Untie the ribbon to open up the card.
This is actually an idea I got from Cammie's blog, but I decided to do the flap all the way around to add some interest and detail to the back of my card. (which I have not shown) I totally did NOT mean to score the lines just like she did. It just came to me and I did it and then realized that she had it on her card. oops. so sorry about that. I did not mean to steal! I sanded across the front to help the score lines pop a bit.

Thanks for stopping by and sit down to make your own flap card right now! It's FUN!

see you next time.

Take-Off Tuesday #11

This week's Take-Off is from the Crate and Barrel magazine. I LOVE this color combo. It is fun, fresh and really pops. 

And it was as fun to play with as it was to look at! Here is my take: I used PTI Pure Poppy and Raspberry Fizz and SU! Tangerine Tango. Boo-Ya! It makes me want to eat fruit!
Ooooh I could eat it up. I also really love this set Ahoy Matey from Kim Hughes for Cornish Heritage Farms. In fact I love all of Kim Hughes stuff, but I know I have told you that before.
I embossed the heart five times to get it nice and thick and shiny. I love this card. Really. I have my eyes open for all color combos fresh and funky now. It has brought change into my life.

Check in again to see what next week brings. AND since I now have my camera back home where it belongs, I will be posting more regularly so check back often!

You each are a treasure!
