10/27/2020 CAS(E) this Sketch - Coming Home

Another few days went by without crafting. Today’s card is using CAS(E) this Sketch, for some reason, the ideas in my head always turned out better than what I’ve created. I used a house image that I haven’t used yet (tall) and color it in with SU markers and die cut it out to put on a stitched circle shape. To finish the card I put the stripe of DSP from the same suite on a Pool Party cardstock. It’s nice to be able to create again to get my juice going. Too much is going on lately but I want to make sure I craft a little. It’s the only stable thing in my life right now. Thank you for stopping by.

10/26/2020 - Make My Monday #134 Masculine - It's Your Day

Welcome back to another week at Make My Monday! For challenge #134, we are creating Masculine Cards. This card is a great way to show case and used up some of your designer series paper. This card is inspired by Megan Loven as I saw a card she created for fall and decided to use her layout. I cut the strips down to 1” x 3” and the layering piece is 3 ¼” by 4 ½”. I wanted to make the sentiment pop a little so I put it on dimensional and the wreath is made with Foil Sheet (gold). I really enjoy making this card and I hope you can join us at the challenge! Have a great week!

Happy Hump Day – It’s been awhile since I’ve created a card  the past few days so I am glad to get back to it. Today’s card is using both Global Design Project (theme) & Freshly Made Sketches. I’ve been wanting to send a card to a dear friend due to some issues and this is the perfect card for her because of the sentiment. The stripes are 2 ¼” by ¾” and layer on top of Basic Black and then Whisper White. The pumpkin is color in with SU Markers and with a ribbon underneath, and all on a dimension.

Today’s card is using Global Design Project #262 Sketch! After I made my card, I realized that the sentiment was suppose to be in the middle of the wreath, grrrrr silly me!!
