Friday Mash Up on Sunday

Hi All,
I haven't had to much time lately for my crafting so I took a little time this morning before the game to make a Thanksgiving card. I was a little stumped as to where I should start so I went on over to The Friday Mash Up and they had an awesome challenge:

 





 

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using "the Sketch."
2. Create a "Spooky" project.
3. Or Mash it Up and create a "Spooky project using the above sketch. "

 

I chose to just use the sketch. Here is what I came up with:

 

I used a base of Baja Breeze, a layer of Soft Suede and Spice DP (I so miss it!). A little canvas ribbon, Bakers Twine, button and a circle punch with my sentiment and I was done. It was an easy, quick card! Love when sketches help me do that!

Have a great day!

Freshly Made Birthday

Evening All,
I thought I would share a card that I made tonight for my Great Aunt's 102nd birthday. Yup you read it correctly, last weekend was my grandmothers 101st and this coming weekend its my Aunts turn! Great genes especially since they are on different sides of the family!! Anyway I was having a tough tough time coming up with a layout. So I went on over to Freshly Made Sketches and found another great sketch:

 

Here is what I came up with:

 

I used a base of River Rock, a layer of Cherry Cobbler and another layer of Soft Suede that I ran through the Lattice embossing folder. The Cherry Cobbler panel was layered on a piece of Comfort Cafe. I used the Gold Encore ink and my "Wonderful, Favorite" stamp set. A button and some retired canvas ribbon and I was (finally) done. Hope she likes it!

Have a great night!

Father's Day

Morning All,
Up much earlier then I needed to be thanks to my crazy tabby!! So I thought I would post the card I made for my father for Father's Day. I wanted to do something a little different so I pulled out my Simply Scored and the Diagonal plate and went to town:

I decided to use my Medallion stamp after I had scored the card in two different directions added some Comfort Cafe to the background, sponged everything with Soft Suede and used my Modern Label punch with the saying from Well Scripted, canvas ribbon and I was done! I hope he likes it!
Thanks for stopping by!

Sanded Butterflie

Evening All
A quick post before I pack it in! Sad to say I am looking forward to a normal routine with a seriously nasty headache that has just not let go for days amongst other things, I am just spent! So I thought I would share one of Stampin Up's new and coolest (well in my opinion!) products! Their stamping system! They have thicker 12x12 cardstock in three colors (Pool Party, Primrose Petals and Rose Red) and new sanding blocks that are super easy to use!! Here is an example of something that only took minutes to put together:

I used the PrimRose Petal paper and ran it through the Beautiful Butterflies Diez,ran them through my Vintage folder, sanded the butterflies, adhered to the Canvas ribbon on a piece of Tea for Two DP, Lucky Limade Cardstock and Primrose Petals Cardstock on the base of Very Vanilla. A few Pearls and I was done. My club loved this! Super fast with a great "WOW" factor!! You will have to try it!

Thanks for stopping by!
