CPS 271 - Thanks so very much!

Ok, I know you will get tired of all the Thank you cards, but I must concentrate on these, I can't go out and buy them, that would be terrible!! LOL This card is from the weekly sketch at Card Positioning Systems. I made the sketch my own because I wanted to use this thank you sentiment and it would cover too much of the circles, so I added the ribbon. The stamps on the circles are from WaltzingMouse Stamps set Dainty Doilies -large set. The sentiment is from a CTMH set called Celebration. I used CTMH Daydream papers and the ribbon is from CTMH too.

Unscripted Sketch #164 - Thanks for Everything

Thank you notes are coming out everywhere! Since the girls graduated a week and a half ago, I have been doing a couple cards a day for them to mail out, soon!! This one I used the sketch from Unscripted Sketches. The stamps are from two different Close To My Heart sets - Celebration and Sensational Seals. The papers are some scraps I had and I used Diamond Stickles around the scalloped circle. The ribbon is some Offray that I got at Michael's!

A few Thank you cards

I have been working on Thank you cards for the girls for their graduation gifts, I used a couple sketches but didn't get them done in time for the challenges!!

RCC 57 - Getting Sketchy Challenge

This weeks challenge at Ribbon Carousel was a sketch hosted by Laura Davis. I took the sketch, used my CTMH What a Great Day set and Jive Alphabet stamp set by Stamp Craft, along with a Martha Stewart punch and some Anna Griffin designer paper and some brads to go along with the pink chevron ribbon from Ribbon Carousel to make a Thank you card.

Giggle!!!

The challenge at Our Creative Corner wasYour favorite Tim Holtz technique. I used the Burnt Edge Distress Technique and the Giggle stamp. I used Scattered straw, Black Soot, Worn Lipstick, Shabby Shutters and Distress Embossing Ink along with Worn Lipstick and Mustard Seed Distress Embossing Powders. I also used a Tim Holtz grunge board cut out to add something else to the card.

Happy Birthday . . . . . . .

On Ribbon Carousel's Blog the challenge was Birthday Bash. Make a birthday card and use ribbon, twine, anything that basically comes on a spool. So, I choose the pink ribbon. I used Close To My Heart Piece of Cake stamp, with Recollections Floral Patchwork papers, and Memory Box Pearl Stickers!!

Deconstructed Sketch 55

Another Graduation card!! I am making a bunch for the graduating seniors in our lives and this one has a digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps. I used the sketch from Deconstructing Jen this week. The colors are the colors of the High School.

More little monsters!!!

This past weekend, we celebrated all the three boys' birthdays with a family party. Landon turn 8 the beginning of May, Trip turned 5 and then Lincoln's first birthday is actually today. The two bigger boys got Monster cards too. Landon's has a small chevron bag that had a tag to pull out for a special time with his Uncle and I with no little brothers or the two big girls!! I am very lucky to be priviledged to have spent the last 8 years watching my nephews, thought I would 'retire' this year when Trip started kindergarten, but last year they has Lincoln and I now watch our other 3 yr old nephew!! The bigger boys have come to expect cards made by me for every occasion, so I try to do my best!!

A little monster birthday and Deconstructed sketch # 54

Today we are celebrating the two little boys' birthdays. Lincoln is one and Trip is 5 all within a week of each other. I found this stamp set at Michael's of some monsters by Recollections and had to have it. I used Colorbox bright papers and Maraschino Red bakers twine from Ribbon Carousel. Will have two more monster cards to upload, since I used them to make all 3 boys' Birthday cards!!!

Graduation card - Unscripted Sketches

Lots of the girls' friends are graduating from high school - oh yeah, so are my two - so I am working on graduation cards when I have a few minutes between my normal schedule, still having the sickness hanging on and getting the girls' graduation announcements and party invitations done!! I used the sketch this week from Unscripted Sketches. I went to the storage unit with my friend Kevin and got to touch all of Katie's stamps and found this set Back in the Saddle from WaltzingMouse Stamps. I used some lavendar papers and some Making Memories Sweets black and white flowers to add to it.
