Its another pink and black card because well I love pink and black and it gave me a chance to use some of the tiny pieces of the Black Currant stack I had.  I can't bear to throw any of it away so I have some really small pieces on hand.  I might be making several like this just to use them up.  I used Get Sketchy's Sketch #49 (I love it), along with the Fussy and Fancy pink and black challenge (again), and the Stamp, Scrap & Doodle CAS challenge (again).

Ingredients:

Paper: Core'dinations-In the pink, DCWV-Black Currant, My Mind's Eye-Medow Lark

Embelishments: Stickles Cotton Candy, scrap ribbon

Tools: Sizzix Encouraging Phrases embossing plate, Martha Stewart Cornice border punch

Have a fantastic evening!

Happy National Pink Day!

Of course the card I have for you today isn't pink but I'll try to get to that this afternoon.  Sorry about being a bad blogger, the girls and I have been keeping ourselves busy.  We try to do something fun and/or educational every day.  I hope that everyone else is having a wonderful summer.

Before we get to the card I want to share with you my favorite moment of our recent trip to Pigeon Forge.  My girl Clara is weary of the people dressed up in the giant head costume.  So when Strawberry Shortcake walked through the door and her face lit up I knew we were in for a special treat.  Clara got to meet one of her all time favorite characters and I got two pictures where she wasn't covering her face or trying to hide behind someone.  This two minutes of Clara being thrilled made my day!!

Okay on to why you are really here! 

When I saw this weeks sketch over at Get Sketchy 

this card began to form in my little crafty brain.  The blue CS is core'dinations Marine Blue that I embossed with my CB Stars folder and sanded a little to bring out the white.  The rest of the CS and ribbon were from my scraps. The little sentiment is Studio G. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.  The girls and I are off the the Boonshoft Museum later this morning.

My fav card ever!!

I had this post scheduled to go up at 9 this morning while we were at the vet but it didn't work so here it is.



I love how this card turned out.  Exactly how I wanted it to, that doesn't happen to often!  I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for but when I saw the sketch this is what came to mind.  I followed Get Sketchy Card Challenge #33.  All the images and the sentiment is from The Greeting Farm's Showtime set.  All the paper is PTI cardstock (which I love).  I used my Nestabilities small circle to cut the yellow circle.  I had to use my Expression to cut the black circles since I only wanted a small amount of it to show.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful Thursday!

Gettin Sketchy with Get Sketchy!

Happy Thursday blogland friends!  One more day till the weekend!

So I've made this card hoping that my Mojo would come home (I think it went some where warmer).  The Get Sketchy sketch was simple and clean so I figured that would be the best to start with.  The image is a digi from Pollycraft which I printed out on PTI white cardstock and colored with my new Triart markers!!  I'm still learning but I think that it turned out fairly well.  The PP is from a DCWV stack I'm just not sure which one because I got it from Rachel.  The CS is the Paper Company Bright Purple.

TGF CHA relay day 1 and Get Sketchy #22

I know I posted this card yesterday but I just wanted to start all over when I wasn't so freaked about not getting it uploaded to the TGF gallery.  My hubby didn't understand why I was so freaked but I know you girls would understand.  I promise I'm not crazy all the time.

The card isn't great but this skecth really gave me fits.  It took me like 2 hours to get it right.  All the papers are from my scrap stash.  I'm slowly but surly getting it cleaned out.  The image is from TGF, he is Mer Ian.  If you hurry you can get him too.  Just stop by The Greeting Farm blog and pick up this free image.  If you get you card uploaded to their gallery and comment on the post before 6:00cst tonight they will email you the next image that you can see in THIS POST.
