Good morning, Friends! It's finally Friday!! And time for another sketch challenge from the Sketch Frenzy Friday team! This week's sketch was created by me!! I made it pretty simple! Take a look!
And here's my card!
I stamped the greeting from Up, Up, and Away onto a strip of Whisper White with Midnight Muse and Rich Razzleberry markers. I flagged the bottom and adhered it to a piece of Pool Party that was stamped with the cloud image in Pool Party. This is then adhered to a piece of Summer Starfruit and then to a card base of Whisper White. On a scrap of Whisper White I stamped the balloon in Summer Starfruit, the basket in Midnight Muse and the banners in Rich Razzleberry. I cut these out and adhered them together then popped them up onto the card. I punched a heart from Rich Razzleberry using the small heart punch and popped it up onto the balloon. Finally, I added a rhinestone.
Check out the other designer's work on the Sketch Frenzy Friday home page! I hope that you will be inspired to play along with us this week! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!!

Good Friday morning everyone! I'm back with the challenge from Sketch Frenzy Friday! This week's sketch was created by Patrice Herrera. Take a look!
Another fun sketch to try out! I changed it up just a bit and came up with this!
I took a piece of Daffodil Delight and ran it through the Big Shot with the Argyle embossing folder then adhered it to a piece of Early Espresso and then to a Whisper White card base. Then I took three strips of Early Espresso designer paper, flagged one end of each and adhered them to the card. Then I stamped the balloons Up, Up & Away in Island Indigo and Cherry Cobbler and the balloon basket in Early Espresso onto Whisper White and cut them out. These are popped up onto the card. I stamped the greeting in Early Espresso onto Whisper White and punched it out with the 1 1/4" circle punch. This is adhered to a 1 3/8" punched circle of Island Indigo and then popped up onto a scallop circle of Cherry Cobbler. This is popped up onto the card. I finished this off by punching a flower from Daffodil Delight with the itty bitty shapes punch pack and adding a rhinestone.

Good morning everyone! It's a great day for another challenge with the Create with Connie and Mary team! Check out this super fun sketch!
So many fun possibilities with this one! I wanted to do something fun and bright and cheery so here is what I came up with!
My card base is Whisper White. I adhered a piece of designer paper from the Summer Smooches pack and then rounded the bottom corners. I ran a strip of Real Red through the Big Shot with the Tasteful Trim die and adhered it to the card. I stamped the clouds from the Up, Up and Away set in Island Indigo onto the card and the balloon in Real Red, the basket in Island Indigo and the tail in Daffodil Delight onto scrap paper and cut them out. I ran a piece of Island Indigo through the Big Shot with the Labels framelit and a piece of Daffodil Delight with the Lots of Tags sizzlet. I glued the Label framelit to the card. I stamped the greeting onto a piece of Whisper White with Island Indigo and punched it out with the extra large oval punch and glued it to the Daffodil tag. This is popped up onto the label. The balloon is attached to the oval and tag. As a finishing touch I punched out a flower from Daffodil Delight with the itty bitty punch pack and added a rhinestone.
Make sure that you visit Create and Connie and Mary to see what the other very talented designers did with this sketch! I hope to see your creation linked up sometime this week! I always look forward to see your interpretations!! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good Sunday morning, Friends! I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! February is quickly coming to a close! Wow! Not much on our agenda today. I probably should do some grocery shopping but we will see. I know I do have to get some laundry done. And I want to start on another of my stitching projects. These new ones that I got go really fast! And they are really cute, too! Not that I am thinking of Christmas already, but they will make great gifts! Two of them I am doing are for Nick's teachers. Hope they like them!
Today's card was inspired by the Fall-To-Layout at Clean&Simple. I kept mine very clean and simple and used the colors from the Big Top Birthday designer paper pack. I really liked the bright colors and haven't used many of them, yet. But summer is coming! I also pulled out a set I haven't used in a while, Up, Up and Away. Anyway, I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock and stamped the greeting in Old Olive, the balloon basket and the clouds and birds in Tempting Turquoise. Then I stamped the clouds again on a scrap piece of Whisper White along with the balloon in Real Red and the tail in Daffodil Delight. I cut these out and adhered the biggest cloud to the front of the balloon and the tail to the back of the balloon and popped it up on the panel. Then I added two mini brads under the greeting and popped the whole panel up onto the card base of Whisper White. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good Friday morning!! Time for another great sketch challenge at Sketch Frenzy Friday! This week's sketch is brought to us by Robbie Rubala. Take a look!
And here is what I came up with:
My card base is Whisper White. I cut a smaller piece of Island Indigo and ran it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and rounded opposite corners. On top of this piece I added three rectangles - the two outer ones are smaller and are glued flat to the Indigo piece. The third rectangle is cut a little bigger and has the greeting stamped on it using the Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight and Lucky Limeade markers. I also added a gold brad to the middle of the flower and popped it up on the Indigo. I added two gold brads to the bottom right hand corner and popped this up on the card base. The last thing I did was to stamp the balloon and basket in Island Indigo and the banner in Daffodil Delight twice each on Whisper White card stock. I cut all these out and put them together before popping them up in the corners of the card.

Good morning, Friends! Thank goodness it's Friday!! I can't believe that it is the last day of the month! Where did it go? We are headed out of town for a soccer tournament in Vail. I am looking forward to it! The fall colors should be gorgeous! I better remember to bring my camera! So it is time for another super fun challenge from the team at Sketch Frenzy Friday! This week's sketch is brought to us by Patrice Herrera. Take a look!
I told you it was super fun! Here is what I came up with:
I got my color scheme from the Color Coach. I really like these colors together and I wanted to use the hot air balloon set - too fun! I started with a card base of textured Not Quite Navy. The I added layers of Poppy Parade and a piece of Sahara Sand designer paper along with two strips of Poppy Parade. Then I made my tag of Not Quite Navy with a layer of Sahara Sand that was run through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and sponged on the edges. I punched a hole and threaded a piece of Poppy Parade poly twill ribbon through and tied it off with some linen thread. The tag is popped up onto the card. I stamped the greeting from the Up, Up & Away set in Not Quite Navy onto Whisper White card stock and punched it out with the 1 3/8" circle punch. This is popped up onto the tag. Then I stamped the balloon basket in Sahara Sand, The balloon in Not Quite Navy and the strip of flags in Poppy Parade onto Whisper White and then cut them out. The pieces were put together with glue dots and then popped up onto the tag. And there you have it!!

Good morning, Friends! I hope you are having an awesome weekend! Nick's soccer game didn't turn out like we would have wanted. The rain did stop and it turned out to be a really nice afternoon! But the team just didn't quite get the job done. They go their first loss and boy were they bummed. After the game we went to the rodeo with some friends and that was a nice way to take our minds off of it. But the rain came back! Thankfully, it was only for a short time and then it cleared up and was really nice! We hadn't been to a rodeo for a few years so that was really fun! I think we are going to go watch our local college men's team play a soccer game and then Nick has baseball practice. Should be fun!
Today's card started from a sketch and then quickly took another direction. I got this set last week and wanted to do something with it. I really like these hot air balloons and it is something different for me. I took my colors from the Domestic Goddess designer paper. It is a pretty simple card! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
