There She Goes Sketch #98

I happened across this blog the other day and just had to try this sketch. I seem to be on a tree kick...{lol}. I'm definately going to have to use something different for my next card. So the tree is from the Heritage cartridge again. I did some real stitching on the inside mat and used my brown marker for the dots around the outer mat.

Thanks for stopping by,

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 108

Here is my take on this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. I turned the skech 90 degrees counter clockwise to better suit what I had envisioned in my mind. This card went together extremely well. I was so excited about it. The scalloped and regular circles came from Mini Monograms, the tree from Heritage {the same one I used yesterday} and the cloud came from Create a Critter.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Male Happy Birthday

I have a few birthdays coming up for guys, so this card was made with that in mind. I scraplifted this idea from a project that was made by Donna Mundinger. Her project is actually a wall hanging that you can see HERE. I just love her work. Just like her, I used the Heritage cartridge for the tree and A Childs Year for the boy fishing. I added grass from Paper Dolls for Everyday. Where she used brads I used a brown marker to add dots to the tree and the boy. I inked the grass and added this Happy Birthday stamp.

Thank you to Donna for the inspiration. And thank everyone else for stopping by,

Black & White Wedding #2

So here is the second black and white wedding card I recently made. For this one I pulled out a stamp I had purchased a while ago. If I remember correctly, it was actually a birthday stamp. But I taped over the sentiment, inked up the whole stamp up and then pulled the tape off before stamping the image on paper. I played with the idea of coloring the butterfuly, but in the end as you can see I decided to leave it all black. I only used a little cricut for the frame around the stamped image. Inside I used a Martha Stewart cornor punch.

Thanks for looking,
Valerie
