Good morning, Friends! I'm here with this week's challenge from the Create with Connie and Mary team! This week we have a sketch! Take a look!

A clean and simple sketch! Here's my card!

I used the Blessed Easter single stamp again! I know that I used it for last week's challenge but I really love this stamp! So pretty and omitting the words, you can use it for many other occasions!

• Card base is Pear Pizzazz
• A layer of Gingham Garden designer paper is adhered to a piece of Melon Mambo card stock and then adhered to the card base with dimensionals
• Adhere three strips of vellum to card
• Stamp the image from Blessed Easter in black StazOn onto Naturals White card stock and cut out using the Ovals framelits
• Watercolor the image using a blender pen and Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sky inks
• Adhere oval to card with dimensionals
• Add three rhinestones to card

Be sure to visit the Create with Connie and Mary site to see the beautiful creations from the rest of the design team! So much great inspiration there! I hope to see your creation using this sketch linked up this week! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! It's another early morning as we head back to Montrose for the final day of the basketball tournament. We actually don't have to be there quite so early but the other Fruita 8th grade team is playing and we want to watch them. We might face them in the semi-finals! So exciting! And so much talent from these 8th graders! Anyway, it's a must win to advance kind of day!! Nick is having a blast and that's all that matters!

Today's card was one I made quite a while ago. I really liked how this one turned out!

• Card base is Naturals Ivory
• Adhere a strip of Gingham Garden designer paper down the left hand side of the card
• On a layer of Naturals Ivory, stamp the Blessed Easter stamp in black StazOn and watercolor the image with a blender pen and Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight inks
• Use the Occasions paper piercing pack to pierce an oval around the stamped image
• Adhere a strip of Basic Black card stock to the left hand side of the stamped panel and then adhere to card with dimensionals

Good morning, Friends! So glad we are on the downhill side to the weekend! We registered Nick for his Freshman year yesterday. WOW! I can hardly believe that one! Having to think about the classes you are going to take based on credits for graduation is a new one! Now to wait and see what he actually gets. I hope he starts getting a little more serious about his future now. 

Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made and is the last of the cards that I did with my stamp club earlier this month. Love this single stamp! You can cut the words apart from the main image to make two stamps. Then you can use the image for a lot of other occasions! Card details:

• Card base is Naturals White
• Adhere a piece of Naturals White to the card base with dimensionals
• Stamp the Hardwood stamp onto a piece of Smoky Slate with Smoky Slate ink and adhere to card
• Stamp the Blessed Easter stamp onto a piece of Naturals White with black StazOn
• Color the image with Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush and Smoky Slate markers and a blender pen
• Adhere panel to a piece of Pistachio Pudding and then adhere to card with dimensionals
• Add two rhinestones

Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
