2 Sketches 4 You- Laura’s Sketch #17
Okay, I have a confession to make…..I’m addicted to 2 Sketches 4 You! I ♥ their sketches, love seeing all the different takes, and Laura and Kazan are absolutely amazing! As soon as I saw this weeks sketch, I got all these ideas in my head. I knew that I wanted to use my Cricut, and I had this great robins egg blue colored paper that was calling my name. I wasn’t completely thrilled with the card until I added the rhinestones. I really think it made the card “pop” to it’s fullest potential.
Color Challenge #37
This week Kristina was a little late in posting her challenge…but that made me happy! It’s usually hard for me to find time to do a card in the middle of the week, but with the extended deadline, I was able to participate! Here’s my card with this weeks Color Challenge. This definitely was a little challenging for me- these aren’t my normal colors. After seeing all the GORGEOUS cards from last weeks challenge, I was itching to participate again. I was so bummed that I didn’t get a chance to work with the pinks, green and white. Those are MY colors! I have to say, it was just as fun looking through the submissions….and a lot less mess to clean up afterwards! ;-) I’m hoping to have a chance to play with these colors again before the deadline comes. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!
2 Sketches 4 You- Kazan’s Sketch #17
I’m so glad that the snow has finally melted- makes me feel like I have a life again! Yesterday was my first day back at work since before Christmas. It was a nice break, but it went so quickly! During my break, I was at a creative standstill. I wasn’t inspired, and plus the craft area was a DISASTER. Since then, it has been clean- it’s so beautiful! I have 3 whole tables to let my creative juices flow….space and crafting are such a great combo.
Well, here’s my take on Kazan’s sketch for this week. I was originally going to copy the sketch exactly, but I felt like doing a horizontal card. I found some fun grass like material, so I thought it would go perfectly with the card. All of these stamps came out from DeNami Design last spring. I fell in love with the bunnies and veggies- so fun! I’m excited to start playing around with more spring/ Valentine and Easter stamps. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to post more this week!
2S4Y- Kazan’s Sketch #16
Yay! I have a card to post for 2S4Y this week! I really wanted to do Laura’s sketch last week, but I just didn’t have the time. Since we are still snowed in, there was no excuse for me not getting a card done this week. In fact, I was so determined to do a card today, that I waiting for them to post it this morning!

2 Sketches 4 You- Laura’s Sketch #14
Right now I’m going through a phase where I can’t get enough scallops, die cuts and buttons. Speaking of buttons, I really need to find a huge set of really cute ones…again, any suggestions? I got a few packets at the Creating Keepsakes show a little while back, but I really want some other colors and sizes. If you see a good set, or a place to get them for cheap, send me the link!
