Freshly Made Sketches #21

Here's a great card sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

I made a fun card for my daughter to use for her friend's upcoming 8th birthday party. Here's my take:

colourQ Challenge #123

Made this card for the colourQ Challenge but missed the deadline for linking. LOVE the inspiration colors and the card I made from it so posting this anyway. This was the first time I embossed a sentiment. Love the little dimension it adds. Not sure how to remove the bit of wandering embossing powder around the sentiment. Tapping it off didn't seem to work. Any ideas/tips?


Supplies: Cardstock: Papertrey Ink Berry Sorbet and White, Stamps: Papertrey Ink Botanical Silhouettes & Think Big Favorites #4, Ink: Papertrey Ink Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet, Classic Kraft, and Versamark, Embossing Powder: American Crafts White Zing, and Ribbon (no idea who made it but in my stash for a long time!)

Papertrey Hearts Challenge

Here's my take on Papertrey's Heart Challenge today. I decided to stay away from the traditional colors of pink and red that is commonly associated with hearts when I realized that most of the cards I have made in the past week were pink or red. Need some variety in my card stash!



Supplies: Dies: Papertrey Ink Hearts and Half & Half, Cardstock: Memory Box, Patterned Paper: Jillibean Soup Dutch Mustard Collection, Sentiment: Papertrey Botanical Silhouettes, Ink: Momento Rich Cocoa


As always, thanks for stopping by!

Still going strong with the Layout a Day challenge. I'm really loving Lain's prompts and what I've been able to create each day. Doing a lot more pages about ME than I usually do which is a great change.

Day 7 - Pals, Buddies, Friends


Day 8 - I Miss Traveling


Day 9 - Home Sweet Home


Day 10 - The Halloween That Almost Never Was


Thanks for sharing this journey with me.

Papertrey & Pintrest Day 5 - Take 4

Ok, last card for today. I found this image on Pintrest and it inspired me to use my Papertrey Up, Up, and Away stamp set. This was my very first Papertrey Stamp set and its gotten VERY little ink since I got it.

Here's my take. Simple. Changed the colors to make it brighter. Used the same balloon placement. Will probably use more color next time. I love the effect of the pop dots under the balloons for dimension.


Supplies: Cardstock: Papertrey White, Stamps & Dies: PTI Up, Up, and Away Set, Ink: Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy, Patterned Paper: American Crafts, Black Ink: Momento Black

Thanks so looking!
