Challenge for Eat, Sleep, Stamp #47

This card was made for the sketch on Eat, Sleep, Stamp #47. (This is for the sketchy Thursday challenge) I made it to send to a friend who just retired to see what she is doing. I combined a lot of elements: ribbon, bling, Cuttlebug, embossed metal, pattern paper and card stock. This is the first time I have done a challenge for this blog and I had fun doing it.

I loved the Unscripted Sketches #18

I finished packing for Vegas and have some time to try some of the new sketches that came out today. I dug through my paper and supplies and did this one for Unscripted Sketches #18. I left off a sentiment and can either use it for a Birthday or a Thank You card. I really like how this went together. The picture does not show the light blue background and I picked up the colors with the flower which I built being light blue, pink, and then hot pink with a light blue large brad in the middle.

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long -- Sketch Challenge #28

I finally took time to finish this card this week. It is for a challenge on Christmas Stampin' All Year Long and is sketch challenge #28. I had a lot of fun doing this and it just might be a card I do in mass production. My favorite is the embossed metal with the pom pom's and I know there won't be another card with both those elements.

My Rendition of Unscripted Sketches #17

This is what I saw in Sketch #17 of Unscripted Sketches. My 3 items were on the square and not on a circle. I just went off in a different direction, but thanks for the sketch to get me to do this. I do like it and I am sure my friend who is getting the card will love it. Funny, I don't use orange much but am trying to use my scraps and it is really growing on me.

Christmas Card Trade

I have been busy working on a trade that includes 3 different cards. Here is the first one that I completed. I love using the cuttlebug with metal -- it makes it look so wonderful. There are 12 in the trade and there is a picture on the left of all of them and on the right, a close up of one. I love that folder. I need to get the second set done tonight. I have the paper and idea, now just to do them.

My Favorite Folder -- Challenge #42

This was done for a challenge on the CuttleBug Spot, challenge #42. It was to use your favorite folders.

The Happy Birthday folder is one of my favorites and now I am adding it to my newest favorite of using some silver metal I bought. I just love how it embosses on it. I mounted it on eggplant cardstock from Stampin'Up. I also cut out my tag by using the Halloween sign die and embossed it with the Birthday 3 X 2 folders and tied it off with some ribbon. The picture doesn't show the metal adhered to the eggplant cardstock. It was an easy card and impresses people immensely.
