Super Sketch Week!! Yay!

Today on the challenge they announced a Seven Sketches Week!! I'm so excited. Sketches are my favorite kind of challenge. Here was todays sketch.

I actually took the sketch and flipped it around. It worked better for this paper. Here it is!

The paper is by BoBunny. The Love is spelt out in scrabble tiles that I picked up at a second hand store. The ribbon was a gift from another etsy artist. The newsprint flower is by Recollections and the strips are cut out from the same dictionary that I used in the last card. Had a lot of fun doing this one.

Have a great day, and keep crafting!

Royal wedding

Yesterdays challenge was to make a card based off the royal wedding. Anybody else wish they were princess? I did. ;) anyway, here it is, for the couple who has no ordinary love.

The paper is by BoBunny, the key is Jim Holtz, and the vellum is by DCWV. I kept this kind of simple on purpose, inspired by the simplicity of Pippas dress. It was gorgeous enogugh to be a brides dress! Have a great day and keep crafting!

Day 19- Crush Crush Crush

This weekend was jam packed! And really nice. Unfortunetly though, I fell behind on my card challenges. So I'll be posting the weekends challenges today. I'm still splitting them into seperate posts, just because it's easier to post to the 365 site that way. Here is the link for the challenge:

The idea was to create something that wasn't a love card, but a card about a crush. I went for a spring-feeling card that simply said you and me, instead of suggesting love. I was really happy with the result. I have had this paper by sei cut out for a while, and was unsure what to do with it. The sticker by me and my big ideas (another gift from hubby) was the perfect finishing touch.

Have a great day, and keep crafting!

Spring is a wonderful time of year. Sun is shining, bees are buzzzing, and the birds are singing. Felix particularly likes the birds. He sits in the window and stares at them while making that clicking sound that uses during the hunt. :) In honor of spring I made some fantastic bird cards, and it was a perfect opportunity to make some birthday cards for friends whose birthdays fall in February and March. I started with these papers from the Birdwatching series by Recollections.

Wings Leaves

Flock

Birds of a Feather I cut apart the paper and merged them into these cards! These first two are presents for friends. This "Dance" card is for my dear friend Karene who is a fantastic dancer in her own right. We celebrated her birthday with a day in Santa Cruz, and a couple days later with a turtle cake!!

This card was for my friend Joanna's birthday back in February. We had a fantastic lunch all together to celebrate.
