Saturday Sketch Challenge 2/13

What a week!!!!! We have a foot of snow on the ground!! I'm 52 and this is the most snow I have seen here in Fort Worth in my life (and I've lived here since I was four). It was the best kind of snow, big fat flakes and perfect for snowmen. We didn't build one here at our house but the kids in neighborhoods around us had great fun. One neighbor even build a mini Igloo!!!


I'll have pictures later as my son (the real photographer) took the camera from here to Dallas today for pictures. However, I did manage to snag it from him to upload my card for today.





Today's sketch had a special challenge to use our least favorite colors. I have chose a piece of Designers Series Paper from the Razzleberry Lemonade pack. Everytime I look at this paper, I just don't want to use it BUT thanks to Carol's challenge, I kind of like how it turned out once I put it with some lighter colors. Hope you like it too! Be sure to check out the sketch and what the rest of the Design Team did over at the UDI Blog

Set: One of a Kind

Cardstock: Barely Banana, Pixie Pink, Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper

Saturday Sketch Challenge 1/23

My card for today's Sketch Challenge is a CASE of a card that Susan Kubira sent to my sister. My sister is suffering from a form of Psoriasis that has covered 95% of her body and not only makes her look like a burn victim but now has compromised her immune system. She is doing well but is on "House arrest" so she doesn't get an infection from anyone.

You can see the sketch here Be sure to follow the links to see what the rest of the design team has done!!!!

Supplies:

Set: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper
Ink: Basic Brown
Accessories: Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit, Heart to Heart Punch, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch

This project is one we did today that I also wanted to share with you. I got the idea for the box on the left from Jackie Topa It's made from our Movers and Shapers Die! It is so adorable. At my stamp camps sometimes a customer doesn't want a 3D item so she'll make it a different way. Today, LindaB did that and came up with the card on the right. Isn't it great?????

Supplies:

Cardstock: Pretty in Pin, Sending Love Specialty Designer Paper, Very Vanilla

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Movers and Shapers Big Shot Die, Eyelet Border Punch, Crimper, Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon

Have an awesome weekend!!!
