Good morning sketch fans!  We have a new sketch for you at Sketch Saturday, along with Simon Says Stamp! for a sponsor.  Here's the sketch:

I went clean and simple this week...and there's no stamping!  I had leftover papers on my table and after rounding the outside corners, paired them with a flower that has been in my stash for years (I had never even opened the package!) and accented it with sequins.  Easy peasy!

Baby made me eat it!

Good morning!  It's our "Anything Goes" challenge at Catch the Bug!  Since we are in the midst of a baby boom at work, I thought I would make a baby card.  So far the boys are outnumbering the girls!  Another one of my friends just announced her pregnancy and she is hoping for girl...this card is for her!

I found a fun sketch to work with and worked some other challenges in as well.  The image is colored with pencils and I've embellished with ribbon and buttons (I like using buttons for baby cards!)...I hope Kelly likes it!  I plan to bring cupcakes to work and give it to her then...it's fun to celebrate the mamas and their babies!

Winter blessings, my friend!

Good morning!  I have a card to share using this week's From the Heart Stamps sketch.  The twist this week is to "Make a Shaped Card"...you can use the sketch, the twist, or both!  Here's the sketch:

Since we still have a lot of snow around here I went with a snowman, but I used Spring-ish colors because hopefully Spring will soon be here!  The image is colored with pencils and I've added a touch of glitter to the "snow".  I've embellished with a sentiment banner and snowflake.  Here's a detail shot:

Flurry of Wishes

Good morning!  It's Monday so that means we have a new sketch (and twist) for you at From the Heart Stamps...here it is:

I had to use one of Faith's newest images...Flurry!  (It is so appropriate for the weather we are getting here.  For the last 4 weeks we have had snow or blizzards at the beginning of the week...thankfully it was just snow on Sunday, I think it will be okay getting to work Monday.)  I think this is one of the cutest snowmen ever!  I've colored it with pencils and added just a touch of glitter to his heart.  I kept it clean and simple with minimal layering, and added some paper piercing and brads for interest, along with a die cut snowflake.  Here's a close-up:

I found a fun sketch and used some patterned paper from my stash...I like the bright yellow paired with pink and red...it's a bit different!  The edges are rounded with the Corner Chomper for interest, I've accented the image with lots of sparkly glitter, and added a banner and some bling for embellishing.  Here's a close-up:

Catch the Bug's Penguin Parade

Good morning!  Christmas Chaos is over at Catch the Bug, but we do have a new challenge for you..."Penguin Parade"!

I knew I wanted to go with Poppi, but I also wanted snowflakes...I thought this image was perfect!  Poppi is colored with pencils and the "snow" is accented with glitter.  I've used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches...I thought it would be fun to play along with my former teamies!  It's a cute CAS sketch, plus I love the opportunity to mix up the patterned papers.  I've rounded the outer corners for interest and added some glittery snowflakes embellished with mini brads for embellishing.

Christmas Chaos: Sketch Challenge

Good morning!  Welcome back to Day 2 of Catch the Bug's Third Annual Christmas Chaos!  Today we have a Sketch Challenge for you...are you up for it?  Here it is:

Great sketch, right?!  I altered it to a square format and took a clean and simple approach, using just 1 patterned paper and no matting for the card base.  I did round some of the corners for interest...I love using my corner chomper!  The image is colored with pencils and accented with glitter.  I've double matted the image and added a button with ribbon for embellishing.  I like the quirky chartreuse and bright colors!

Hello Snowman

Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you from the ladies at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight Neva has chosen "Christmas with a Metallic Twist"...sounds pretty!

I've combined this challenge with this week's From the Heart Stamps sketch, which also has a twist..."Use Your Favorite Color".  That would be pink...of course!  Here's the sketch:

So...use the sketch, the color pink, Christmas themed, and metallic....  "Hello Snowman" (isn't this one of the cutest snowmen ever?!) is colored with pencils and mounted on die cuts.  I've rounded some of the corners of the metallic background patterned paper, to add a bit of interest, and embellished with a sparkly snowflake and hearts (they came in the stamp set).  I love the quirky pink and green for a Christmas card!  Check out the adorable "sweater" hearts, here's a close-up:

Good morning!  I have a card to share using this week's From the Heart Stamps Sketch #108...here it is:

Great sketch!  I made an A2 card instead of a square though.  My Birdbrain is colored with pencils and accented with some glitter.  Don't you just love the expression on her face?  She looks how I feel when I have another birthday!  LOL  For embellishing, I've used my QuicKutz hand tool and "Metro" alphabet for the sentiment.  I like how this one turned out...the patterned paper is one of my favorites...I will be really sad when I use it all up!

Changito Snow

Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge from Ruby's Rainbow; it was my turn to pick the challenge for this fortnight and it's a Recipe Challenge: 1 Critter, 2 Patterned Papers, and 3 Embellishments (Example: 3 brads, 3 buttons, 3 flowers, etc.).  Sounds fun, right?!

For my critter, I had to go with Changito...he's my all-time favorite!  The image is colored with pencils and I've accented the snow with glitter.  I pulled out some bright and cheery papers from my stash and embellished with 3 snowflakes and a smattering of pearls.  I used the sketch from The Sketch File, minus the sentiment...I couldn't seem to make it work.  (Hmmm, why do I always have trouble with sentiments?)

Stella's Whipping up Thanksgiving Dinner

Good morning friends!  We have a fun, new Inspiration Challenge for you at Catch the Bug!  Here is the inspiration photo:

I went with "Stella-Turkey".  As I was coloring the image, I thought how I would love to cook in Stella's kitchen...she has fancy Rachael Ray cookwear!  Don't you love the bright colors?  LOL  Plus, she made mashed sweat potatoes...yum!  The sketch is from Sketch Saturday; I'm too late to enter their challenge, but I loved the sketch.  I've embellished simply with a touch of glitter on Stella's earrings and some brads.  I even decorated the inside too...  This image came with a cheeky sentiment: Warning!  Not for the faint at heart!  LOL  Will have to send this one to someone who will appreciate the humor....

My card for today features Super Birdbrain and the sentiment is from Hope Butterflies and Blooms Awareness Set.  The sketch is from Papertake Weekly.    I like how the Super Birdbrain image can do double duty...not only can it be used for Dad, it can be used as inspiration to those fighting breast cancer.  She's rocking the glittery cape and eye shadow!  I kept it pretty clean and simple with this one; some easy layering, glitter and brads.  Aside from the tiny brads, this card is flat...not something I usually do!

Happy Birthday

Good morning; I'm back again with a card using the From the Heart Stamps sketch...there are still a few days to play along...and it's a fun sketch!

I used some papers that I still had on my craft table from one of my last projects...I love the bright colors and dots!  I took a simple approach to this card...minimal matting, I just used the Corner Chomper to add interest to the corners.  The image is colored with pencils and the balloon is accented with glitter; I've embellished with ribbon and a button.
