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!
Ok, I have had a pretty dang great day. And it got SO much better! I was just checking out one of my favorite blogs "Cosmo Cricket" (they make scrapbook paper and supplies and goodies and their blog always has great ideas) and guess who won this giveaway:
"Ok, now for a giveaway. Lindsay and Eric are out of town on a rare trip together. But, just to show that Lindsay isn't the only one that can give away big prizes, one lucky person commenting today will win an Earth Love/ The Boyfriend Paper Pad, one of each of our Blackboard Albums and boxes and a Nutmeg Paper Crafting kit. I don't even know how much value that adds up to. If you're good at math, maybe you can tell me!"
Yepper, that would be me!
"Oh and you probably want to know who won yesterdays prize. Congratulations Leese Christine, send us your address and we'll send you your prize!"
Jordie - 5 Pieces
My latest card, Jordie, is fun and simple and I really really like it. One of the cute girls that works at my LSS just got engaged and is SO excited about it. She's always so sweet and cute whenever I'm in there that I wanted to make her a little card and this is what I came up with. Now i just need to actually give it to her!
Ford - 5 Pieces
This card was inspired by a scrapbook page that I saw in a magazine. With my September card class coming up I knew it would be perfect paired with some fall-ish papers. Every time I look at the card though I get the odd feeling that it's sticking it's tongue out at me. OH WELL! I still really like it! Oh, and it's not named after Ford cards and trucks. I'm a Chevy girl, but the name Chevy will probably never make it on to one of my cards!
Riley - 7 Pieces
I love this sketch. The inspiration for it came from a layout I saw in a scrapbooking magazine. There are more pieces to it than I normally like to use but it doens't seem as overwhelming as I though it would. The papers I used hit me a little funny, but all in all I like the 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.
Laynee - 8 Pieces (7 Patterns)
This has to be one of my all time favorite cards! I need to thank 52 Sketches/52 Weeks for the inspirational sketch! I love the papers, I love the layout, I love it all! I usually try to keep the number of pieces that I use in a card down around 5 or 6. If I start getting more than that i try to use some of the same patterns twice. In this card I only used one pattern twice, and that is the yummy stripe on the left and bottom, the rest are all different, and I love it! I've really gotten out of my comfort zone using this Cosmo Cricket paper, and it's really paying off! Have I mentioned that I LOVE THIS CARD? Probably once or twice! I hope you all like it too. Let me know what you think! Use the quick buttons below or leave a comment!
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!
Calvin - 6 Pieces
Lennox - 6 Pieces
Two new cards from the left over paper from my "Girls Night Out" with some of my In-Law's. I just have to say I really lucked out in the In-Law division. I love my husband's family! I love how these cards turned out. It was difficult to make a stamp stand out on the papers I used for the Lennox, but I think it still turned out alright!
Claire - 6 Pieces
Another Mojo Monday Challenge (
8.22.09) from this week. I think this card, with this paper, really made me step outside of my comfortable little box of card making. I find myself doing that a lot lately, and I have really liked the results, for the most part. I am usually a firm believer in alternating patterned and solid (and semi solid) papers in my cards. This card has no solid papers. And though it's pretty wild, I like it.
Bree - 5 Pieces
This card came from a sketch from
Get Sketchy, one of my new favorite sketch sites! This is the GS #2 sketch, and I named it Bree after one of the very patient designers that helped me get their "blinkie" put on my blog (over there on your right). I have been dancing around this "Girl Friday" line by Cosmo Cricket at my local Roberts Crafts store for a few months now. I finally broke down and bought it when they had all of their paper on sale 40% off. Now I can't understand why I didn't buy it before! I absolutely LOVE this card!
