SSSC#195 - Happy Birthday Blowout!

Good morning!  Are you ready for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge?  I hope so because Karen has another fun one for us.

I needed a fun birthday card and this Penny Black stamp (Best of Luck) that I have popped into my head so I decided to go with it.  I love these chickens!  (Sorry for the rotten pictures today, my camera is acting up) I also used the happy birthday sentiment from the Paper Smooches stamp set Sentiment Sampler along with some Copic markers and glitter.

SSSC#194/Tuesday Trigger - Birthday Blooms

Hello there!  It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  Karen has another fun sketch for all of us this week and we hope you'll join in and play along.

For my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Bigger Blooms, Mini Blooms, Embroidered Blooms and Boutique Borders to create a birthday card.  Along with the Sweet Sunday Sketch (which I guess I took liberties with, yikes) I also used this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Challenge as my inspiration (photo above).

CTD#260 - Happy Halloween

Hi friends!  Hope you're having a great weekend!  I'm finally posting my card for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge, even if it is late.  Which brings me to my announcement.  As sad as it is, I've made the decision to step down from the Color Throwdown team.  I've thoroughly enjoyed being part of the Color Throwdown team and working with all of the talented women that I've come to know, but my life has become busier over the past several months and I feel that this is the best decision for me.

For my card I used the Paper Smooches stamp set Halloweenies along with the Clean & Simple sketch challenge from last week, some paper piecing and Copic marker coloring.

SSSC#193 - Sending you a Little Sunshine

Hello crafty friends!  It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  Karen has another fun sketch for all of us to create with and we hope you'll take the time to play along.

I used the sketch to create a card for a very special friend of mine and along with the card I sent a box of sunshine (something I saw on Pinterest).  The box of "sunshine" included a bunch of random yellow items that I had collected, anything I though my friend might like from yellow glitter to a sunshine notepad and matching pen.  As for my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Hello Sunshine (appropriate right :) along with some PTI cloud dies, ribbon, scallop border punch, sequins, rhinestones, and glitter for the sun rays.

If you have a chance of sending someone you know a box of sunshine, I highly suggest you do.  Not only was it fun finding yellow items for sending, but it gave me a good feeling hoping that what I sent made my friend smile.
