Good morning, Friends! I hope your weekend is going great! It's another COLD one around here! My husband said it was -8 this morning! The sun will come out but the inversion is what is making it so cold around here. And the snow doesn't melt very fast, either. But there are more play-off games today so no need to go outside - lol! Plus I need to make some more cards for the blog. I had better get to work on that today as well!
Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Paper Craft Crew Challenges. And can I just say that I love the way this one turned out? This is image is just SO adorable!! I took a piece of the More Amore designer paper and flagged one end. This is adhered to a piece of Primrose Petals. I tied a piece of Very Vanilla seam binding ribbon around this and added an antique brad. A piece of Pool Party was run through the Big Shot with the Designer Frames embossing folder. I cut the frame out and sponged it with Pool Party ink. I cut a piece of Very Vanilla card stock to fit just inside the frame and stamped the image from Greeting Card Kids in black StazOn. I colored the image with Pool Party, Primrose Petals and Daffodil Delight inks and a blender pen. This is adhered to the frame and then popped up onto the card. I stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes in black StazOn and popped up the panel onto a card base of Primrose Petals. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good Friday morning everyone! I am so happy that it is finally Friday!! My son thought it was a fast week and I am thankful for that. But for me, it was a long one! And today we will be heading out of town for two soccer games. It will be nice to get away! The Sketch Frenzy Friday team has another great sketch challenge! This week's sketch is brought to us by Maria Vanderform. Take a look!
Isn't it great?!! Here is what I created with it:
I knew I wanted to go in a Halloween direction. I love Halloween! I don't do anything special for it but it is so fun to see the kids get so excited about dressing up and getting candy! I often wonder how long Nick will continue to get excited about dressing up and going out trick-or-treating. Anyway, I started with a Pumpkin Pie card base. I cut a piece of Basic Black and a piece of Lucky Limeade designer paper and glued them together. Then I wrapped a piece of Basic Black striped grosgrain around that before adhering it to the card. then I took a piece of Basic Black taffeta ribbon and tied it around the striped ribbon leaving the tails exposed. For the focal point I stamped the girl from the Greeting Card Kids set in black StazOn on a piece of Confetti Cream card stock that was punched with the 2 1/2" circle punch. Then I watercolored her with coordinating colors and my aqua painter. The circle is popped up over the ribbon. Then I stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Basic Black and added three rhinestones.

Good morning, Friends! I hope your weekend is getting off to a great start! We will be leaving in a few hours for Denver. Nick's soccer team has two games this weekend. One today and another tomorrow. So we will spend the night and come home tomorrow evening. I hope they play as awesome as they did last weekend! Nick got his first few days of school done. He said he really likes Middle School! I am glad for that! He likes having his own locker and being able to switch between classes. Of course, his favorite class is P.E.!
I had meant to post this card on Wednesday in honor of the first day of school around here. But since that didn't happen, I decided today would be fine. I used Mary Jo's sketch to help jump start me. I just love these little kiddos! So easy to watercolor and they have that vintage feel. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
