Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #156

Happy Sunday! I hope that you are having a good weekend.

It's time for a new card sketch at Sketch N Scrap today. Sketch Artist Lisa has created a great sketch for us to play with:

I have created a 'thankful' card. Anytime is a good time to send a card like this but I think this time of year makes it be at the forefront of my mind.

I found a fall-themed 6x6 paper pad in my stash that I had picked up at Target a few years ago (and then found it again at Tuesday Morning last year...I think) and I knew it would be perfect for my card. There is no manufacturer's name on the pad but it has the prettiest papers and colors in it - and when you can get it for $1.49 - well, that makes it well worth it.

I stayed true to the sketch only using my sentiment for my focal piece. I tried to add some die-cut leaves around it but I just liked the simplicity of the card without them. 

This is another great sketch that I can see myself using again and again.

Head on over to Sketch N Scrap to see how the rest of the design team used this sketch.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. I will be back soon with another project to share with you!

UYS #289 - Thankful

Hello again! I am back with my second post of the day. If you are looking for my Stick It Down reveal, please scroll down or go here.

We have a new challenge today over at Use Your Stuff. This week Heather is challenging us to create a project about what we are thankful for.

I always love these types of challenges because I have so much to be thankful for. One thing that I am so thankful for is my good friends and what better time to tell them how much I appreciate them than this time of year. This card will be going in the mail to - hopefully - brighten someone's day.

Head on over to Use Your Stuff to see the beautiful projects from the rest of the design team. We hope you have some time to play along with us this week! We would love to see what you are thankful for!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you have a great day!

Sketch N Scrap WCMD Sketch #2

Happy Saturday, scrappy friends! I am so happy that it is the weekend - I have high hopes of having lots of scrappy time!

We are celebrating World Card Making Day all month long at Sketch N Scrap and today we have our second exclusive card sketch posted on the blog. Heather has created a fun sketch for us to work with and it has lots of possibilities.

I have created a fall card for this sketch. I haven't made nearly enough of these type cards this year and I really like how this one turned out. I have used Bella Blvd papers from a couple of different collections for this card. I really tried to stamp a leaf for the focal piece, but it just didn't look right, so I punched a circle out of the same paper as the background and it was perfect!

Head on over to the Sketch N Scrap blog to see the beautiful cards from the rest of the design team. I hope you have some time to create with us this month!

Also, on our Facebook page, our Fall Fun Crop is in full swing. We will be posting our 3rd challenge over there today, so be sure to check it out, as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I will be back a little later with another project to share with you, so stay tuned!

Try Stampin' - Or Not - On Tuesday

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! Today is election day here in the states and I am going to be so glad for it to be over with! I am tired of all the political ads - on tv and in the mailbox - and the phone calls - ugh!

We have a new sketch posted over at Try Stampin' - Or Not - On Tuesday. This sketch is courtesy of Kaylin. Our optional theme this week is "Thanksgiving".

I made a thankful card, so I think that qualifies for the optional challenge! I love making this type of card - it's a great way to let my friends and family know how much they mean to me.

For my card I used Echo Park's - Fall Is In The Air collection. I thought that cute tag would be perfect for this sketch.

Head on over to Try Stampin' to see the beautiful cards from the rest of the design team. As always, you have two weeks to play along, and you can enter your card on the blog or on the Facebook page here.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a great day!

Use Your Stuff #196 - Thankful

Hello everyone! I can't believe that we are already back around to Monday again! It's another short school week for us, thanks to parent/teacher conferences, so there's something to look forward to!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Use Your Stuff blog. This week Tammy is challenging us to be "thankful". It could be something or someone you are thankful for, or it could be the colors for the season of thanks - autumn ...there are lots of possibilities.

I created an "I am so Thankful for you" card for my project. I have so many people in my life that I am thankful for, and this time of year is the perfect time to tell them that.

I based my card off of this fun sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog. Sadly, I missed the deadline by a few hours, but I still have a beautiful card to give out!

 

I hope you can find some time this week to get scrappy and play along with our challenge! Be sure to check out the Use Your Stuff blog to see the rest of the design teams take on the challenge.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
