Old Card, New Color

I made a sympathy card a while ago for a co-worker. I really like how it turned out so when I needed another sympathy card, I decided to go back to this design. The original was made using green tones. For this one as you can see I used blues. I like this one just as well.

Thanks for looking,

Mojo Monday #181 - March Contest

So this weeks Mojo Monday sketch is another contest...if only I could win {sad face}. But I don't think this is one of my best cards. I wish I would not have tried to really stitch this card. It just didn't turn out as nice as I was hoping. Otherwise I am happy with it. The designer paper is from Cosmo Cricket. I used Lacy Labels for the scallop and regular circles. Home Decor for the swirly things {I've used that cut on three of my last 4 cards}. I used my Stampin' Up Boho punch with the One of a Kind stamp set for the flowers. The sentiment is also Stampin' Up. I used some old pinking shears for the the brown background paper.

I {Heart} Sketch March 2011

For this month's Sketch for you to try I used this bright and cheerful paper from DCWV the Mediterean matstack. I used my Stampin' Up Boho Backgrounds stamp on the white cardstock and punched out these flowers using my Stampin' Up flower punch {I've cut out the center from the background paper by hand}. The swirly thing is a cut from the Home Decor Cricut cartridge. I've left off the sentiment for now as I'm not sure what I will be using this card. More than likely it will end up a birthday card...

Thank you so much for stopping by,

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #107

Unfortunately I needed to make a sympathy card for a coworker who recently lost his father to cancer. This is a simple card using todays Sweet Sunday Sketch. The bird is a cut from the Home Decor Cricut Cartridge. I used a Fiskars border punch for the scallopped side. The squares were all hand cut using scraps in green and kraft. The designer paper is from DCWV the Cafe Mediterranean matstack.



I've been sick the last week and a half. So I haven't felt up to crafting. I'm finally feeling better and hope to be making more cards soon.

Sweet Sunday Sketch 105

I've been in a small crafting slump. This is my first card in about a week and a half. Good thing I didn't make the resolution to post everyday or I would have failed. But I have stuck to my 1 post per week resolution so far.

For this card I followed the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. The cardstock is Bazzill, the designer papers are DCWV Linen Closet matstack. I used a nestability behind the flower. The flower is from the Cricut Lite Bloom cartrdge and the swirly thing {lol} is from Home Decor. I finished it up by using pop dots for the nesti and flower and a Happy Birthday stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!
