Sketches, Sketches, Everywhere

If you are like me, you are a sucker for sketch challenges and it does not help that everyone has a sketch on their blog for you to try! There is always a sketch I am meaning to work on. Today I decided to pick a color scheme and create similar looking cards using four different sketches. The colors I used were: Really Rust, Chocolate Chip, Only Orange, Very Vanilla, and Ruby Red. Hope you like my little taste of fall. Sorry I have been MIA the past couple days, I have been trying to catch up on life . . . you know, the boring stuff like laundry and cleaning *sigh*

The first sketch was on Beate's site, Fresh & Fun: (WSC61)



The second sketch was found on Taylors site, Taylored Expressions: (TECC37)



This third sketch was found at Poetic Artistry, where Julee shares a sketch weekly on Monday: (MOJO56)



And the 4th and final sketch was from Card Positioning Systems, where my friend Tami shares these amazingly awesome sketches each week: (CPS86) - Note: I turned this one because I wanted to end up with two tall cards and two short cards.



Stamps: Pumpkin Riley (Hanna Stamps), Family Flexible Phrases (SU!), Canvas (SU!) Paper: Ruby Red (SU!), Only Orange (SU!), Really Rust (SU!), Very Vanilla (SU!), Chocolate Chip (SU!) Ink: Onyx Black Versafine, Timber Brown Staz On Accessories: Chocolate Gingham ribbon, sewing machine, brown thread, dimensionals, prima leaves, nestabilities (scalloped and plain circles), clear embossing powder, sponges, paper piercing tool, circle plastic canvas.

Off to make dinner, have a lovely Thursday night and don't forget to watch (or at the very least record) Grey's Anatomy!!! Oh and have you seen this giveaway on Websters Pages blog? It is pretty cool -- love this new collection of papers! Hope you have a chance to go enter and check it out!!!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!! UPDATED: We have a WINNER -- Post number 44 was chosen using the random number generator and the winner is *drum roll please* Rosella said... WOW! I'd love to make some of these beautiful pinecones! I think my fa...
