Sweet Sunday Sketch

 

 Good Afternoon!
          I've had enough of spackle and spring cleaning!  I had to go into my
craft room and play a little! I was in need of a "thank you" card so why not
do a challenge to create one? I used the Sweet Sunday sketch challenge.
My card base is very vanilla layered with hakiu dp. I used a little flower from
Any Birdie Home. This is one of the new releases at Artful Inkables.
My sentiment is from Oval All. Well back to work! See you tomorrow with
Magical Monday and Mojo Monday! My favorite day of the week!

Easter gone Funky!

Hi All!

Did you miss me? So much to do , so little time!
I worked today, did hair & cleaned the tanning bed.
The tanning bed is one chore I don't like! You have
to take it completely apart and clean, not fun! Then
I went grocery shopping YUCK! Now I can stay
home for my weekend! I have repair work to do in
my bathroom so I will be scarce! I do plan to get 
some stampin done in between layers!

My card today is for the OCC sketch challenge.
I have to tell you this thing just went wild! 

I totally stepped out of the box with my colors!
My DP  from Minds Eye was my jumping off point!
My card base is not quite navy layered with whisper
white and Minds Eye DP. The sentiment is from 
Well Scripted. Well I hope to post tomorrow with
any luck!
Have an awesome weekend!
~Hugs~

AIC 14

 Good Morning!
Remember on Tuesday when I told you I 
won the blog hop prize over at Artiful Inkables?
The prize was all 4 sets from their new release. 
Can you believe it? I couldn't.... well they came
in the mail yesterday. Boy do they ship fast, 2 days
and they were in my hot little hands! LOL! They are
absolutely AWESOME! Well with new stamps in 
hand I thought I should make a card for Artiful Inkables 
Tuesday challenge. The challenge is to make a naughty or
a nice card... our choice. 

 
Yep, I picked naughty! My focal image is from AI's " Sexy &
 Sweet " set. Lot's of fun stamps in this set! My card base is
basic black layered with temping turquoise, whisper white and
sweet pea dp. Pop over to Artiful Inkables and check out their

TESC 100

Good Evening!
If Olga can make two posts in one day...
so can I!  LOL! Really I needed to get
this posted so I could enter it in Taylored
Expressions 100th sketch challenge! 

 
I flipped the sketch and used an oval instead of a circle.
My little precious moments image wouldn't fit in a circle!
My card base is rose red layered with whisper white and
delicate dots dp. My image was colored with copics and
SU markers. I only have a few copics.... I LOVE them.
It's Carol's fault you know! She used Terri's and raved
about them. Now for Carol to rave about such things they
must be great! LOL! It's time for me to fall asleep in my 
chair.... so I can wake up and go to bed! ;)
Nighty night!
