Cars Birthday Card for Amy R.'s Friday Sketch #50

It took me a while to decide what set to use for Amy R.'s Friday Sketch #50. Then I remembered this Cars set that had never seen ink! Layers of Just Like Dad papers, some embossing with the Houndstooth Cuttlebug folder, a sentiment from Tag Tidbits, and some fiber from my stash. I'm pretty happy with this masculine birthday card which can be some of the hardest cards to come up with.

Don't forget there are a few more hours to enter my blog candy giveaway here!! I'm off to get moving on a busy, busy day. Hope you have a great one!

Hey Chick! There's a New Card Sketch Blog

You might have figured out I'm addicted to card sketches. I was super excited to find a new sketch blog this week, Card Patterns. I used CP Sketch #3 to make this fun card using the Hey Chick stamps I added to my collection during the 50% off sale. The paper is from Sassafras Lass, and the ribbon is from my stash. I just love this sentiment!!! I think I'm just going to leave this set out on my table and make a few more cards before I put it away.

Amberley Grace Thank You Cards

I used the same GWP stamp and some Amberley Grace paper scraps and tags for a bunch of quickie thank you cards. I'm loving these little scalloped cards made with my Nestabilities!!

Whew! Time for another Amy R Sketch (#49)

I can't tell you how happy I am to make something that's not pink or red! I do love making Valentine's projects, but I always get a little tired of it by the time the day arrives.

Just recently, I started participating in Amy R.'s weekly sketches, and I love them! Here is her Friday Sketch #49.

And here's my take on it! I colored in the monkey from the Happy Day set with prismacolor pencils and OMS. The patterned paper is Rustic Chic. The faux stitching on the center strip is just as crooked as my sewing machine stitching would be. LOL And I added some buttons from my stash.

That little monkey just cracks me up! And I can totally identify. Sometimes I have so many balls juggling at the same time, I feel the same way!

Pinkalicious!

If you've been following along, I'm working on Kraftin' Kimmie's birthday challenges. For Day Three of the Birthday Celebrations, Kimmie wants pink and at least one button. Do you think this is pink enough? LOL I have a sweet online friend that is obsessed with pink, so I'll be mailing this card to her.

I started with Taylor's Sketch #54 and pulled out my somewhat neglected Tickled Pink stamp set. I paired it up with some Mimi and Catelynne papers, a flower and a button from my stash.

I'm halfway through the challenges, and I have ideas floating in my head for the three remaining ones. Time will tell though if I actually have a chance to get them done. I have yet to start any Valentine's for my kids' classmates, and I refuse to buy them. :) It's not too late for you though...head on over to Kimmie's blog and see what great prizes she is giving away!

Gerbera Daisy Sympathy

I'm back with my card for the second challenge in Kraftin' Kimmie's Birthday Challenges. The specifics were to make a card using her layout design with some dry embossing. Sadly, I need to get a sympathy card in the mail. But Kimmie's challenge helped me create a suitable (dare I say beautiful?) sympathy card. The Gerbera Daisy is colored with Prismacolor pencils blended with OMS. And YIKES! I cannot find my With Sympathy set. I finally gave up the search and used a beautiful sentiment from Treehouse Stamps. The velvet ric-rack was in my stash. And can you see the embossed frame? It adds some elegance to the card and was done with only my Scor-Pal.

Okay...two challenges down. Can I get four more done before the Birthday Celebrations are over???

A Little Whimsy Birthday

Kraftin' Kimmie is running lots of Birthday Challenges on her blog with some great prizes! This card was made for her first challenge....to make a birthday card with some purple! Using purple is not hard for me since it's my favorite color.

I loosely followed Taylor's sketch from last week (yes...I'm running behind), stamped the image from the All Occasion Icons set then embossed it with white EP, and paired it up with some A Little Whimsy paper. And I actually made two of these in an effort to build up my stash. There is still plenty of time if you want to join in on Kimmie's Birthday Challenge Fest...go check it out!

Quick Little Valentines

I used this blog tutorial to make some cute little scalloped cards...added a square of Uptown Girl paper, the heart from Forever Family, and a current GWP sentiment set. And I have no idea what's up with this picture...the ink color doesn't clash with the pink cardstock in real life!!

Serendipity is HERE!!!
