Butterflies and Moonbeams and Fairytales...

OK... details now that I am semi-awake.

Super Sketchy Sunday at 365:

My spin:

I really liked this sketch and this card. I know it looks odd, but it was perfect for a joke birthday card. Inside it says, "Mom hates birthdays." It's a joke about an old coworker that needed to cut the cord and anything we ever talked about she would tell us her Mom's opinion, which was usually, "Mom hates..."

Supplies:

Sassafras background paper

Cosmo Cricket sticker and diecut

Jenni Bowlin buttons

Mackenzie Mae base card

365 Day #66 and some Paperplay

The challenge for 365 was to use the sentiment, "I am here. you are there." I took some liberty. I feel better doing that when the challenge has long since passed. Paperplay was to add dimension. The diecuts, thickers and I popdotted the black arrow... dimension! I haven't done the inside yet, but I'm thinking something like, "Let's meet in the middle." Thought it would make sense with the star in the middle of the card.

Supplies:

Mystery background paper

Map, star and black arrow October Afternoon

Cosmo Cricket blue arrow sticker

American Craft thickers (inked from green to black)

Red Zig Marker

Sweetie's Sketches for August

My take:

This is for 365 #65. The challenge was to make a card for a woman in your life. I made this for my Grandmother. She is always sending me cards, so I wanted to send her one for no special reason. It didn't turn out quite as planned. Definitely needs some tweaking!

Supplies:

Mackenzie Mae 3x3 card base

brads with jewels Label Tulip

corduroy brad Pink Paislee

Pink Paislee rub-on


365 #64 Sketch

My take:

Pretty straight forward... I still think it needs something.

Supplies:

Mackenzie Mae Card Base

Sassafrass paper

rickrack from old My Creative Scrapbook kit

Die Cut GCD Studios Margarita pack (Clearance)

365 Day #63 Floral Fest

The challenge was to use 8 flowers which I more than accomplished. This card looks better in person. It's a little busy and I used all of these flowers, but I like it.

Supplies:

Sassafras paper

Mackenzie Mae base card

Making Memories layered button flowers

Cosmo Cricket heart sticker



365 #62

Use a number... any number. Well, my dating anniversary is coming up soon. It always sneaks up on me. My husband and I will have been together for 9 years. I wanted something sweet and simple and I think I achieved it. I just wish I was able to make a ring around the 9 that didn't look like I let the dog do it.

Supplies:

Mackenzie Mae card base

Sassafras paper

October Afternoon numbers die cut border

Pink Paislee letter stickers

Sorry, I don't know what happened to the formatting in the middle... bizarre! Anyway, shout out to Mackenzie Mae for an awesome card kit. Those base cards are such a time saver. I think I'm going to start making myself base cards ahead of time.

In other business... Papertrey ink blog candy is going until the 9th (I think).

Also, a shout to Label Tulip. I love their kits. This week has been like Christmas (it was my b-day). I got a lot of gift cards and the stuff is arriving... fun fun fun!

OK... that's it. Enjoy your Sunday!
