{sketch-a-thon}

The 6th annual My Sketch World Sketch-a-Thon is underway!  If you like sketches, both card and layout, then you need to get over to MSW!  This is a month long event with new sketches daily and lots of chances to win awesome prizes!  There are also monthly layout and card challenges that will keep you busy and inspired! 

My challenge this month is to make a card with 3 hearts.  I used the first card sketch from the sketch-a-thon for my card.

I Love You

Do you see the hearts?  They are the "leaves" on the beautiful felt flower I bought from Tessa's ETSY shop.  I added a Fancy Sentiment (I Love You) sticker from SRM for the perfect finishing touch!

Hope you can join us over at MSW this month! 

{mme} sketch love

I found this beautiful sketch on the My Mind's Eye blog. 

I used the sketch along with some of my favorite products, MME & SRM, to make a card.

All My Heart

I adore that "love" paper and must get more, this happened to come in a card kit I won recently!

Happy Sunday, friends!

{felt} just us girls

I found the Just Us Girls challenge site by way of Lynn's blog.  I finally had some time to play and was pleased to find out the challenge this week was to use felt!  Lucky me, I had just bought some lovely felt flowers from Tessa's lovely ETSY shop, Precocious Paper. 

I used a wonderful sketch I found by Gretchen McElveen on the Bells Blvd blog.

Thank You

Please excuse the poor photo-indoor photos are my downfall.  :(   I used the basics of the sketch and added a little extra. 

Happy Thursday!

{simple & sweet}

The card is simple, the sticker sentiment comes from SRM's We've Got Your Sticker: Sweet collection! 

Follow Your Heart

Papers: KI Memories and MME, Speech Bubble: Stickopotamus, Sentiment: SRM, Rub: MM

I love a sketch with simple lines and a great design.

I found this on the My Scrapbook Nook blog.  I'm pretty sure I will be using this one again.  :)

Having a kitten in the house is like having a toddler again!  He is much too small to roam free yet so we have him confined to a couple rooms.  We sure are enjoying his kitten antics!

Happy Wednesday, friends.  I hope happy finds you today!

{card sharks} final round

I was very excited to learn I had made it into the final round of My Scrapbook Nook's Card Shark contest!  These are my final 2 cards.  The first is based on the card game, Birds and our challenge was to use at least one medium to large size bird on our card.

 

Celebrate Love

 

Our second challenge was based on the card game, Snap. We had to use 2 pattern papers, 2 embellishments and a 2 word sentiment.  I like the idea of this card, but I just couldn't get it to where I wanted it. 

 

BRRRthday Wishes

 

Public voting on the 3 finalist's cards starts sometime on the 18th at the Nook Blog.  

 

Happy Sunday, friends!  I hope happy finds you today!
