2S4Y39 - Fabulous!

Hello! Happy Friday! OK, so sorry to do this to you guys, but I'm back on the butterfly kick again. Yes, I know...you thought I was over this, but apparently I'm NOT. LOL!

I made this card for the sketch challenge over at 2 Sketches 4 You. I think the sketch is supposed to be for a hanging ornament or something, so I'm calling this a hybrid card between the main sketch and the bonus sketch this week. :)

Have a great Friday! See you soon!

SSSC44 - merry

Hi friends! I have noticed lately that the more stressed out I am with the rest of the things going on in life, the more frequently I stamp. :) I guess that's good for my blog friends, but not so bad for me. Oh well, give and take, right?

Anyways, this is a new sketch challenge card for me. I've been printing the sketches on Karen Giron's blog for quite some time now and just never having the time to get them done, but this week I just SO loved the square shape of this that I couldn't resist using a few new items on this card to create a sort of non-traditional Christmas card. I hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping!

MTSC48 - Jot This Down!

Hello! I'm SO excited about today's post because it's Tuesday and that means another sketch by Mercy! This week, I took a little different route and finally inked up my Take Note stamp set from Papertrey Ink. I thought it was so adorable when I first saw it, so I bought it, not really thinking that I'm not much of a "create your own notebook" kind of gal. But when I saw Mercy's sketch this week, I thought by flipping it on it's side it would definitely work for a tall card/project.

So here it is in detail...


Be sure to see what the rest of the Muses have done with the sketch this week! And stop by Mercy's blog to play along!

A Moxie Fab Preview

Hello! I'm SO excited about today's post! The challenge over at the Little Paper Shop blog was to use a diecut with part of your creation. I also made this card for the Moxie Fab Plum challenge over at the Moxie Fab blog. I LOVE purple and kraft together! I added some fun elements to this card today. And what about that sentiment? Guess who this card is going to? :) The sentiment is from a new set available tomorrow at Little Paper Shop called For You. It has a ton of mix and match sentiments. The "sister" portion of this sentiment is separate from the rest, and the set has a ton of different options! :)

I hope you've enjoyed the previews this month...and be sure to check out what the rest of the team did!

WSC106 - Deck the Halls!

Hello! Happy Weekend! I made this card for Beate's weekend sketch challenge #106. I used some of my favorite things on this card: Vintage Ornaments and Giga Guidelines. :) I'm not certain I followed the sketch perfectly, but you get the idea. Instead of boxes, I used buttons along the bottom edge of the card. I really like this color combo for Christmas cards!

Thanks for stopping by! Previews for the new Little Paper Shop sets start tomorrow!

SFYTT - Merry & Bright

Hello! I'm stopping in quick to show you a card I made for Jen's sketch for you to try this week. I got a box of new goodies from Papertrey and I couldn't wait to try out this new Vintage Ornaments set. I love it! This card literally took me 10 minutes to throw together so I can't wait to sit down for awhile longer and try out some other combinations with this set.

Thanks for stopping by! I don't know about you but I'm THRILLED that tomorrow is FRIDAY! :)
