ICS #40

I needed a last minute Halloween card so I combined some supplies from a goodie bag I bought recently and the ICS Sketch #40.

Happy Halloween!

Sketch Girl #8

Sketch Girl #8 is up. I love that this sketch is a bit different and not necessarily what you would expect. Got to love a real challenge. I loved working with Sassafras Lass for this sketch. These stickers are made to scale for LOs but I love their oversized bold look on the card. I'd love to see your take on this sketch and I hope you check out some of what the other amazing Sketch Girls came up with!

Sketch Girl #7 is up!

It's the 15th which means its time for another awesome sketch from Sketch Girl! This card is made almost exclusively from Making Memories supplies. The rest of the DT has some fabulous cards for you so check them out on my sidebar. Also Amber is joining us once again as a Guest DT Member. We all adore her work and have been so honored to have her join us these past few weeks. But we also would love for you to join us on this sketch! You have until the end of the month so if you need to whip up a quick Halloween card or want to get started on those Holiday greetings consider using this fun simple sketch.

ICS and Pink Elephant

I'm back this week with another combination of the ICS sketch and the Pink Elephant challenge. The Pink Elephant challenge called for some awesome Halloween colors this week and I'm in need of a few Halloween cards so it was perfect. The papers are from some old DCWV paper pads including the ghost I cut out from the paper. The stamps I picked up on clearance from Target last year and are from Making Memories.

ICS and Pink Elephant

On World Card Making Day I spent some time with my mom making cards. I made this simple card with the ICS sketch and the Pink Elephant challenge. I haven't participated at Pink Elephant in awhile but I love their variety of challenges. This week you had to use dots, a tag and a punch. This card came together really quick since its only a tiny 3x3 but also because I kept it simple only using Making Memories supplies. The other card I made was for a future Sketch Girl sketch so I can't share it yet but remember to check out their current sketch because there is a chance for a prize and a fab guest designer this week!

Happy World Card Making Day!

Happy World Card Making Day everyone! I'm excited that such a fun holiday even exists and I will be celebrating by making time in my schedule to make a card in honor of the day. If you're getting in the spirit this weekend head over to Digiments and pick up some free sentiments that will give you a headstart on your Halloween or Thanksgiving cardmaking. While you're there leave a comment to win all the Digiments ever released! Now that you have a sentiment how about heading over to Sketch Girl for a lovely sketch. Remember there will be a prize for one lucky participant! After that you just need to break out your stash and have at it.

Sketch Girl #6

Sketch Girl 6 is now up! I made this card to coordinate with a scrapbook page that I'll be giving my cousin for his birthday. (I'm hoping to get a better picture in the daylight, flash never looks as nice) The page is about our Hooters trips on our annual vacations. When we drove to Florida we visited 5 Hooters in 4 states and my little cousin gets his picture taken with the Hooters girls. So for his birthday I made a page to include all the pictures. I suppose the paper on the LO may seem a little girly but I'm planning to add journaling over it so there won't be much showing in the end. Plus with all those cute Hooters girls I don't think he'll be paying much attention to the paper. Also to explain the overwhelming number of owls the Hooters restaurant symbol includes an owl (Hoot-ers).

Sketch Girl is particularly exciting this week because we have Amber as our lovely guest designer. So check out her card as well as the work of all the talented Sketch Girls who you can find on my sidebar.

I feel bad for not being able to post more, comment more, or participate more but grad school and my two part time jobs have kind of taken over my life. I hope to catch up on the blogs of many talented ladies this weekend.
