Sending sandy hugs & salty kisses.

Good morning!  The start of the new week brings a new sketch from From the Heart Stamps; along with the sketch there is a twist..."Gratitude Card".  Here's the sketch:

Yep, I bet you are thinking that I didn't follow the sketch...or the twist....  I tried to follow the sketch; I had banners cut of all shapes, colors, and sizes but I just couldn't get the 3 vertical elements to look good.  I ended up rotating my card base and changing the layout.  Do you notice the graph paper background on the sketch?  I even used graph paper!  I loved the way it pulled in the blue from the color challenge I was incorporating.  (Before I decided to rotate the card base, the background lined up perfectly with the graph paper used on the image panel.  Even though my OCD kicked into overdrive when I changed it, I just went with it anyway...yes, it was tough!  LOL)  I've embellished simply with some blue crystals.  Here's the full card:

ABC Monday

Good morning!  It's "Anything But a Card" day at Catch the Bug!  Today I have made a bookmark, and a simple card to present it in.  I've been playing along with the Splitcoaststampers Hope You Can Cling To challenges; this one is for the "Tag, You're It!" challenge.  I thought it would be fun to turn the tag into a bookmark!

The image is colored with pencils and the halo and wings are accented with glitter.  I've used a PTI die to cut the bookmark and have added some fibers to the top.  For the card, I've added a pocket decorated simply with brads.  This is how the card and bookmark look together:

Good morning!  We have a new Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge for you; this week, our very own Jessi has drawn the sketch and is also our sponsor...the winner of this challenge will receive 20 (yes, 20!) of her crocheted mats!

It's a great sketch; I went clean and simple and paired it with one of the SCS's HYCCT challenges, which was to use die cuts.  It was fun to let the dies do the work!  The t-shirt is cut out of DP and I've made a pink ribbon out of Swarovski crystals.  Some of the circles and the t-shirt are popped up for dimension.

Good morning!  We have a new sketch for you to try at From the Heart Stamps.  I went clean and simple to let the pretty butterfly shine.  The image is colored with pencils with a bit of glitter on the dots.  I printed the ribbon on pink CS, cut it out, glittered it, and popped it up.  For embellishing I used a glitter CS strip and some grosgrain ribbon.

Just Wear Pink

.

Good morning!  It's Tuesday, so that means we have another sketch challenge for you from the ladies at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  We also have a twist this week, which is to use fancy dies...I don't have too many of those, so I did some layering instead.

I used a new set from Doodle Pantry, created for Breast Cancer Awareness, called Just Wear Pink.  It's an awesome set that includes outlines, pre-colored images, sentiments, and cooridinating DPs.  Today I went with a pre-colored image and paired it with some fun DP in my stash.  I printed the image, cut it out, and popped it up on a subtle pink dotted background.  I've added some Swarovski flatback crystals for a bit of shine.

Sissies....

Another Bugaboo challenge card....  This one is for Wednesday's "Make Us Laugh" challenge; I had to go with Stella...the girl is a hoot!  And a hot tamale....

"Christmas shopping ain't for SISSIES!"  (Especially on Black Friday!)  Can you tell by her expression that Stella means business?  The image is colored with pencils and Stella's hat is accented with glitter.  I used the Digi Sketch Challenge layout...it's a fun one!  The card is embellished simply with some bling.

Good morning!  It's time for a new sketch from the ladies at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Jessi has drawn our sketch this week and also provided the DT with some awesome crochet mats to use...how cool is that?! I was so excited when I opened the package...the mats are really awesome!  A great big "thank you" to my teamie, Jessi!

I knew I needed to pick an image that was "just right" to use with my mat.  I decided to go with a Stampendous Easter chick...I think she is just adorable in her Easter finery!  I distressed my papers and embellished with a felt flower and a bit of bling.

Good morning!  It's time for Clearly Digi Stamps (Clear Dollar Stamps) December release...I always look forward to seeing and working with the new sets and this month was no exception!  The sets I'll be showcasing today are Cute Critters and Flower Garden.

First, I have used the fun set "Cute Critters"; it includes outlines, pre-colored images, sentiments and a selection of papers.  It isn't a holiday set, but I wanted to show the versatility of the images and created a Christmas card.  The turtle is colored with pencils and accented with glitter...I imagine even turtles like to get their glam on!  I distressed my papers a bit, added a silver bow, lots of silver brads and a computer generated sentiment.

Birds....

Good morning!  It's time for another challenge from the Creative Card Crew ladies; for this fortnight "Birds" is our theme and our sponsor is Simon Says Stamp.

I'll have to admit I was a bit stumped with this one....  Then I realized that chicks are birds...yay, one of my all time favorites to the rescue...Stampendous Calendar Chicks!  I thought this little gal would work out perfectly...she's all spiffed up in her "Super Chick" costume.  I also went with a non-traditional Halloween color scheme...just for fun!

Superchick is colored with pencils and accented with pink glitter.  I used quite a few diecuts to embellish...felt clouds, glittery bats, etc.

Birthday Cupcakes

Good morning!  It's time for another sketch challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches; our sponsor for the week is Paper Garden Projects.  I have used a free digital image; you can find it here.

After printing the image and text, I colored the cupcake with pencils.  I like that the image is already shaded...that is such a great help for the coloring impaired...like me!  LOL  I used my corner rounder to add a bit of interest, added some twill, and finished with some rhinestones.  My finished card measures 5x7".

1,2,3....

Good (early) morning!  I'm back with another challenge from the Creative Card Crew!  Our sponsor this fortnight is Robyn's Fetish and our challenge is "1,2,3".  For my card, I used 1 flower, 2 banners, and 3 rhinestones.  You have the freedom to mix up the "1,2,3" and apply it however you wish!

I used one of the cute, new Pure Innocence images and paired it with some travel papers that I have had in my stash for a looong time.  The image is colored with pencils and I added a bit of yellow glitter to the flower in her hair (and also to the flower diecut).
