FABULOUS DESSERT FROM MATTHEW'S BIRTHDAY

Today I felt like completing a layout challenge on Practical Scrappers.  It is their 2nd Anniversary so each day they gave a piece to the layout.  I began pulling all my supplies and today they added the last 2 pieces and I had to remember the time since it was another time zone.  I thought I looked it up correct, but was off and things happened that were not in my control -- the computer didn't want to work in the last few minutes I had, earlier the neighbors to our side and behind decided to sit on the wall and hold a pinata string which drove the dogs crazy and I was afraid they would get his leg.  Who would have thought this would happen?  I don't know them since it is a rental.
Anyway these are the ingredients and you can mix them.


Day One: CARDSTOCK & PATTERNED PAPER (Easy to see my dotted white paper and black and red cardstock)
Day Two: FLOWER (OR FLOWERS) & RIBBON (Pleated ribbon at bottom of picture and flowers are after and before the word dessert and on the buttons)
Day Three: BUTTON (OR BUTTONS) & BLING (Buttons holding up banner and bling on flower, also letters)
Day Four: STICKER (OR STICKERS) & INK (ANY TYPE - MARKER, PAD, DISTRESSING, ETC) (Stickers are the letters and the banner is inked black)
Day Five: FLOSS OR TWINE & SOMETHING RED (Twine is holding the banner up and in the buttons and red is all over the layout)
Day Six: BRAD (OR BRADS) & CHIPBOARD (One brad in center of picture and the banner is chipboard inked)

and this is what I came up with:

I hope you enjoy the layout since we enjoyed the Dessert!

He's 26

Well, I did the sketch challenge at Practical Scrappers using Matthew's 26th Birthday at Capital Grille.  I changed it up a bit using a more elegant color of black and white since that restaurant was fabulous and the Chef there is a personal friend of mine.
Here is the sketch:

and here is my take on the sketch.

Hope you enjoy seeing this.

Sweet Threads makes a cute card

Hi Everyone,

Today is reveal day at Sassy Lil Sketches and my card is up for you to see.  I enjoyed using Basic Grey,  "Sweet Threads" line (love those colors to mix and match, two flowers attached with a brad, a sentiment rub on, and one of my Martha Stewart punches.  Since I got this sketch I have used it on several other cards I needed to make and it is a quick fix.  I hope you like it and choose to play along on the site, you have until August 5th to get yours in and win some prizes.

Here is the sketch:

and here is my card I created from it:

Come play along at Sassy Lil Sketeches. If you don't do cards they do have layouts also and the deadline is the same date and they also give away prizes.  Hope to see your entry.
