Cherry Blossom Wishes

Edited to add.....Well so much for scheduling my post last night. Didn't realize the freshly Made Sketch was ending so soon. Didn't make it here till late today and missed out on posting to that challenge.

Hello! Today I have a Twofer of sorts?! Sketch challenges are my favorite and go to challenges. I found 2 almost identical! Only the sentiment placement was different. Here is the card I came up with!  I did add an extra layer......just couldn't do another plain (CAS) card base two days in a row??  LOVE how this one turned out. The Cherry Blossom paper is just soooo pretty?! It came in a flower pack of card stock from JoAnn's. I added a branch die cut (think it's Memory Box?) and a beautiful sparkly die cut/sticker that I got at the Dollar Tree.Think there are like 9 on the sheet in different colors? Man if you haven't been to a Dollar Tree lately they sure have come a long way in their crafty section! Those $1's add up there quickly too! ;-) The background is a Stampin Up embossing folder called Coasted Weave. Added some bling and called it done. Thanks so much for stopping by. Challenges used are listed below.

CAS Birthday


Hello!! Today I have a CAS card to share with you! Let me tell you how VERY hard this was for me to NOT add another layer instead of just the plain cream card base!! This came together pretty quickly. Great way to show case the pretty sparkly K&CO DSP not that you can tell at all in my picture. I made my butterfly accent with some Prima type flowers. I used the center flower stem to make the butterfly antennas. Embossed my sentiment and added some rhinestones and called it done! Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend! Challenges used are listed below.

Feline Better?


Hello! Really cutting it to the wire with this one! Loved this sketch when I first saw it and I knew that I wanted to do "Band-Aid's" for it. Not sure it quite turned out like I imagined but that's what happens when you wait to the last minute! Sorry for the bad picture maybe I can get a better one in the daylight tomorrow outside?! My Newton's Nook images are heat embossed colored with copics and fussy cut out. Added them to the top of some Stamps of Life die cut Band-aid's. Think it makes for a cute get well card! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day! Challenges are listed below.

Daisy Jar


Hello! When I saw this sketch I knew I just had to play along! Sketch challenges are my favorite. A great way to get the MOJO going. I'm cutting it close to the wire on getting it posted in time though. Love the card making but the blogging part I still struggle with?! Anyone else like that??  The other day I spent some time stamping off some new stamps i have bought the past few months. This was one of them. Thought it would work out great with this sketch. The jar is embossed and hard to tell from the picture but I went with a light pink tint for the jar. Finished it off with the button. I did add the birthday banner thought it was a nice touch?! Thanks so much for stopping by hopefully I'll be back again soon. Have a great day!!
