Faux Quilt

So today's share came from a challenge I saw somewhere last week to use a Technique that I don't use very often. Well, this faux quilt is a technique I learned at a swap I crashed at Convention this year. It is the quickest, easiest thing EVER...and looks so cool! Don't you think? I also used one of my favorite stamps for the sentiment.

Timeless Portrait Easel Card

Today's share is an easel card I made using the Timeless Portrait DSP and the new Framelits. This is another paper that I have a difficult time working with, but overall, I'm happy with the way it turned out. I think my favorite part is where I attached one of the Trinket Keys to the bow, and as you can see I used the new Large Pearls to hold the card in it's standing position.

First Scrapbook Page of 2012

So today's share is my first scrapbook page of 2012! I used to do only scrapbooking, but then I got turned onto cards as that was what Stampin' Up! was "designed around"...but now...they're branching out, and I'm going back! This is a sketch challenge, so first I'll show you the sketch. I rotated the sketch counterclockwise for my page because I liked it better that way.

So here's the sketch:

And here's my page...it is of me and my husband in St. Kitts for our honeymoon. We took our honeymoon on our 2nd Anniversary, because that's when the opportunity presented itself. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...I can't wait to do something like that again!

Another Day, Another Sketch

Today's share came from a sketch I found over at Freshly Made Sketches. The sketch itself, as you can see, is very simple, but sometimes, that is the challenge for me. I sometimes struggle with keeping it simple.

So...here's the sketch:

SC367

Today's share is a card I made for the Split Coast Card Sketch challenge that they do every Wednesday. The sketch was pretty simple, but I still always have a hard time deciding what I want to do with it. So...here's the sketch:

And here's what I did with it:

This is my first attempt at using the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper. It is so pretty, but as I thumb through the papers, it seems like every time, the rooster holds me up. I'm just not a rooster person. But finally I just decided to go with it! As you can see, I used the new Framelits to creatively cut out one of the roosters from the DSP, and the next larger Framelit to cut a mat. I think the Antique Brads and the Basic Pearls give it just enough dressing-up.

I'd love to hear what you think, and as always, Thanks for Looking!

Stamps: Creatively Yours

Ink: Soft Suede

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Beau Chateau DSP, Framelits, Basic Pearls, Antique Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals

PPA 126

For today's share, I decided to participate in the current PPA (Pals Paper Arts) Challenge. Right now it's a color challenge using the colors Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, and Very Vanilla.

I decided to make a 3D item as a Thank You gift instead of a card. I first ran a piece of DSP from the Pocketful of Posies package through the Big Shot with the Fancy Favor Die to get the bag. Then I embellished it with Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon and some punched embellishments that I made using the new Framelits and the Apothecary Art stamp set. Inside the bag is a set of miniature cards with envelopes. We used to have cards this size called Ensemble cards...but not anymore. :( No big deal though...I just made my own. Keeping the cards simple, each card is embellished with a small strip of the same DSP, a few Basic Pearls, a bow, and a sentiment from the Perfectly Penned stamp set.

I hope you like it, and thanks for looking!

Stamps: Apothecary Art, Perfectly Penned

Ink: Not Quite Navy

Mojo Monday #223

Hey everyone...it's Monday, so that means time for a Mojo Monday sketch. I used to do this every week, but I've been slacking off. But now I'm back!

So here is this week's sketch:

And here's my interpretation of it. I stuck pretty close to the sketch, except I changed the direction of the two scalloped focal points. The first thing I thought of when I saw this sketch, was that the shape on the right reminded me of the larger tag on the Two Tags Die. Sooo...you guessed it, that's what I used.

A few details:

• The brad is from the Sale-A-Bration ribbon and brad pack, available for FREE on January 24th.
• The sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla, and then punched out using HALF of the ginormous (2 1/2") circle punch.

Here's the rest of the Stampin' Supplies and as always, Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: Kind Thanks, Everyday Enchantment

Ink: Peach Parfait, Pool Party, Soft Suede
