My card sketchbook

So I finally made a card sketchbook. I have been wanting to make one ever since I saw Kristina’s book from MACM. I downloaded her template which she has on her site for free and put it together with some designer paper and used thicker stickers to spell out sketchbook. I have sketched out some deconstructed Jen sketches and some of my own. It was easy and fun to make!

Vintage cafe card challenge…

I found a new challenge tonight. It’s called the Vintage Cafe Card Challenge. I found this site after checking out Lily Bean Paperie’s website for some mothers day inspiration. I thought it would be great to try out this challenge. FYI I just love Lily Bean’s cards. I love her style and the amazing colors she uses. So for this challenge I used a couple of different digi kits and one of them is from two peas and a bucket. The image is a free image from Free Vintage digital stamp I also added lace and twine as embellishments. One new technique I used on this card is stitching. I bought a handheld singer machine a few days ago and I am really happy with the results. For less then $20 bucks you can’t go wrong.

Birds in my hair challenge

Good Morning all! I just finished a card for a new challenge. It’s called ” Birds in my Hair” by A Day for Daisies. I first found Tammy’s lovely stamps on etsy. I fell in love with her style and I decided to try out one of her challenges. The theme of the challenge is to use a feather. I chose one of her new digital stamps and colored her in with Copic markers.

I am also entering Deconstructed Jen’s new sketch challenge #48

Festive flowers challenge


 Hey guys, here is another card I made for Digi Darla’s “Festive flowers” challenge. This challenge is extra special because 100% of the proceeds from the digi carla “Susana Shopper” stamp will go to the children in Nicaragua. Kim was inspired and moved after her visit to Nicaragua so please check out Digi Darla and help support her mission.

I have also entered this in the ABC DT challenge “anything goes”

Shabby Tea Room Challenge….

I was searching through the web and found yet another awesome challenge. This week The Shabby Tea Room challenge theme is “Birthday Bash”. Provided with a scrumptious photo for inspiration we are asked to create a Birthday card or project inspired by the photo and include a cupcake. WIth amazing inspirations from the Design Team I came up with this card. I have been wanting to use this C.C. design digi stamp for awhile and haven’t had a chance so I took this opportunity to enter both All that Scraps challenge and The Shabby Tea room‘s challenge. I must say I really love the color combo on this card and I also used a pop-up technique with the digi stamp.
