Natana Card

Natana - 5 Pieces

Once again I have used a sketch from Unscripted Sketches. This one also has a circle in it. I really like how this one turned out with the Cosmo Cricket papers! I put a small foam square behind the circle to give the card some dimension, I love the way it turned out!

Used: 5 Pieces of the "Early Bird" line by Cosmo Cricket.

Boone Card

Boone - 6 Pieces

This is from another sketch challenge over at Unscripted Sketches. I like that it has more than one circle in it. I tend to stay away from circles in sketches for some reason, but I have been trying to get out of my comfort zone in that area and this sketch is perfect for that!

Used: 6 Pieces of the "Simply Scarlet" line by K&Company.

*Ribbon (1/2 inch or 3/8 inch) can be substituted for the horizontal strip towards the top of the card.

Mia Card

This is my Mia card. I also got this sketch from Sketchy Thursdays! (I also made over a notebook with this sketch. When I get a minute I will snap some pictures of it!) I love the way this card turned out! I think the paper looks great with this sketch. Doesn't hurt that I absolutely LOVE Fancy Pants products!

Used: 5 Pieces of the "The Daily Grind" line by Fancy Pants.

Winona Card

Winona - 7 Pieces

Thanks to 52/52 for this super fun sketch. I have had it in my book for a while and I finally got around to making it into a card, and I love it!

Used: 7 Pieces of the "Garland" line by Scenic Route.

Wren Card

Wren - 7 Pieces

This card came from a sketch from Unscripted Sketches, I love their sketches! I am really into circles this month for some reason. You'll see them on a lot of my Christmas cards!

Used: 7 Pieces of the "Garland" line by Scenic Route.

Elijah Card

Elijah - 5 Pieces

This is a sketch from a Verve challenge I believe. I added the circle at the top to give it a little bit of an extra pop. I just love these Scenic Route papers!

Used: 5 Pieces of the "Garland" line by Scenic Route.

Liana Card

Liana - 5 Pieces

Thanks to Mojo Monday for this sketch! it was perfect for this BasicGrey paper with the eskimos, deer and Santa's!

Used: 5 Pieces of the "Eskimo Kisses" line by Basic Grey

Kinsey Card

Kinsey - 6 Pieces

Another Christmas card, get used to these you will see a lot of them in the next day or so! I used a sketch from Unscripted Sketches and I think it turned out really fun!

Used: 6 Pieces of the "Garland" line by Scenic Route.

Kai Card

Kai - 5 Pieces

One of my new faves! The sketch for this card came from a challenge over at Get Sketchy. I have had it for a while but not had time to do anything with it. I am so glad that I did make time though!

Used: 5 Pieces of the "Colorful Christmas" line by My Mind's Eye

Helen Card

Helen - 5 Pieces

I really like this card. The sketch came from Mojo Monday and I wasn't sure it was something I would want to put together. I've been pushing myself to use more pieces and this one seemed very simple. I am really glad I did put it together though. I also love the paper I chose. So sweet and fun! And the stamp I used really works well with it!

Used: 5 Pieces of the "White Out: Promenade" line by We R Memory Keepers

Delilah Card

Delilah - 6 to 10 Pieces

Thanks to 52/52 for this beautiful sketch! I had a blast using my "Colorful Christmas" paper on this super cute card. The reason I say that it can be anywhere from 6 pieces to 10 pieces it is because my original sketch did not include the circle or the sentiment strip, and I intended for the blue and striped strips to be continuous background pieces. On this card though I cut the top and bottom strips independently of each other instead of using full pieces. I love this paper and want to make it last as long as possible! I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT! These papers are so my style, I know the traditional Christmas colors are great, but these are so ME! I can't wait to see what else I can get out of them!

Used: 10 Pieces of the "Colorful Christmas" line by My Mind's Eye, and one 1 3/4 inch chipboard circle.

Selena Card

Selena - 6 Pieces

The sketch for this card came from last week's Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge. I love how it turned out. These papers from the 3 Bugs in a Rug, Simple Pleasures line really challenge me because they don't have any real "solid" patterns in them. But I Love Them!

This card actually has a purpose. Imagine that! Using one of my cards as a card, not art! What a concept! I have a Scentsy order that is coming in today from my consultant, and I am SO FRICKIN' EXCITED! I love Scentsy. Let me re-emphasize that: I. Love. Sentsy. My super fun consultant, Tiffany, was so patient with me and my huge order (thanks to the ladies that I work with for ordering too) so she will be getting this super cute card as a thank you.

Used: 6 pieces of the "Simple Pleasures" line by 3 Bugs in a Rug & 1 1/4 inch chipboard circle

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Card - 6 Pieces

Here is the card I came up with from the weekly Get Sketchy challenge. I was super excited to start using my new Halloween line from Fancy Pants, so I pulled it out for this card. I loved the little monsters on the papers, but ruined my two favorites trying to cut them out of the paper. **Foiled again, Batman!** I'm not sure I am totally in love my my Martha Stewart circle cutter, but it's all I've got so I'll make it work.

Used: 6 pieces of the "Trick or Treat" line by Fancy Pants & a 1 3/4 inch chipboard circle

Olinda Card

Olinda - 5 Pieces

This is my take on the sketch challenge this week at YMBD. The more I look at this card the more I like it. I love the circle element and how simple the whole sketch is!

Used: 5 Pieces of the "Mia" line by Crate Paper

Tori Card

Tori - 6 Pieces

This is my take on the 52/52 sketch for this week. I'm trying to use my "Lil Man" line of paper from Cosmo Cricket, and for some reason I haven't loved it the way that I want to. No matter though, the card came out really cute and I can't wait to try it with different paper.

Used: 6 Pieces of the "Lil Man" line by Cosmo Cricket, and one 1 1/4 chipboard circle

Hudson Card

Hudson - 6 Pieces

Thanks to the wonderful ladies over at Mojo Monday I have this fun new card to show off today. I really love how it turned out! It's definitely got a masculine feel with the paper and I love that right now! I got to use some brads, something I don't do very often, and I think they really make the piece. I also used a chipboard piece to give the circle some dimension. I hope you all like it. Be sure to leave a comment if you want or just use one of the quick buttons below!

Used: 6 Pieces of the "Mr. Campy" line by Cosmo Cricket, a 1 & 3/4 inch chipboard circle and 3 brads.

Ryder & Lola Cards

Ryder - 5 Pieces

Lola - 6 Pieces (5 Patterns)

The Lola card came from Mojo Monday's challenge from this week. They turned 100 this week and did one challenge a day. The Ryder card seems like it will be one that will translate to a masculine look very easily. I wasn't sure how these were going to turn out, but in the end I am really happy with them. I used paper from a company I had never heard of before, The Paper Company Studio, and after looking them up online I would like to use some of their other lines in the future.

Ryder Used: 5 Pieces of the "Flowers & Frills" line by The Paper Company Studio

Lola Used: 6 Pieces (5 Patterns) of the "Flowers & Frills" line by The Paper Company Studio

Slade Card

Slade - 5 Pieces

Here's my latest card, I put it together last night. I got the sketch from 52 Sketches . . . 52 Weeks (see the link to the side). I loved the use of rounded and square corners, the circle and the rectangle in the middle. It's so contradictory that it works and is so fun.

Used: 5 patterns of "Just Dreamy 2 -Brilliant" line by My Mind's Eye
