Pretty Little Studio Challenge Cards

When I got home from work today, I thought about doing some scrappy challenges, and the Pretty Little Studio challenges came to mind.

This first card is for the challenge to use this lovely picture for inspiration.

I used the colors, snowflakes, and circles on my card.

And then this next card is for the challenge to use this week's sketch on a project.

I used some great Jillibean Soup "Dutch Mustard" papers and embellishments. I bought some goodies from their Black Friday sale and I'm LOVIN' it!! This is the first time I've ever had a lot of JBS product to use. I used the mini papers on this particular card. My card's simple, but I kinda like simple! :)

Frosted Designs Card!

I have a card to share with you that I made from a Frosted Designs card sketch! This card was really fun to make, and for some reason I just felt like using gray as the background color for this card. I also challenged myself to mix different letter sticker fonts, and so I did that too on this card. It added a nice bit of color, I think!

As you can see, I rotated the sketch, but I kept the 3 brads on either end of the paper strip.

Patterned Paper: Echo Park (orange), Cosmo Cricket (blue)
Letter Stickers: American Crafts (pink, orange, purple) , Jillibean Soup(yellow) , Doodlebug Design (green), My Little Shoebox (red, pink), Making Memories (blue)

Pretty Little Studio Sketch Card- "Delighted"

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I know I did! I made this card ON Thanksgiving day! :)

Do you ever play with a certain line of products, then get tired of them and put them away; and then go play with them again weeks or months later? Well, that's what I do with this American Crafts "Blue Skies" line. I won it in a Paper Crafts drawing, and so I've had these products for about 1 1/2 years! :O I still love them though and I use every little SCRAP of the papers!

In place of the journaling above and below the circles, I put the little scalloped border. I had a lotta fun making this card-- just wish my paper wouldn't wrinkle! Well, my ATG is out of adhesive so I've been using some Scotch liquid glue and that makes the paper wrinkle even more! :P

A Thank You Card

I love Pretty Little Studio sketches... have I ever said that before??? I made another card with one of their sketches! And I think it's my favorite card yet! I used ONLY paper and letter stickers and two brads on this card! I actually utilized my Cricut's ability to cut flowers (usually never take the time to cut out my own flowers!).
I used some yummy My Mind's Eye papers along with some awesome Lily Bee letter stickers that I am forever in love with. :)
