PLS Card- "Hello"

Hi!

I squeezed in a card this evening! I wanted to participate in the Pretty Little Studio sketch challenge, so I whipped up a card made with Pretty Little Studio products since they have the mini 4x4 papers that were just great for this card!


For the top 3 skinny papers, I used little pennets and I changed the orientation of the sentiment. Instead of a photo, I used a little bicycle stamped image from Hero Arts!! (gotta love those stamps!)

Sorry for the rather short blog post today, but I'm hurrying so I can go scrap some more!

Challenges, Challenges, Challenges

I'm posting for 3 different challenges today!! :)

First, this card is made from the Pretty Little Studio Sketch this week and also to use this picture from the Moxie Fab World as inspiration.

For my interpretation of the picture, I had this piece of Sassafras paper in mind to use on a card. I thought the yellows and oranges coordinated with the picture. Also, I used the whipped cream in the picture as inspiration for the ruffle on my card. The ruffle is some trim I bought at a local fabric store. :)

Here's the link for the Moxie Fab World Challenge: http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/10/tuesday-trigger-treat-yourself.html

Next, I have a card made from this inspiration photo from A Dog's Life!

I made kind of a collage on my card and basically used black and white, like the photo. The ink I used for all the stamped images is Sahara Sands from Stampin' Up. Stamps are from K & Company and Stampin' Up.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! :) Have a wonderful Monday!

Sketchy Thursdays 9.1.11

Here's a layout I did for this week's Sketchy Thursdays challenge! I tried to use the main colors in the photos- blue, pink, and brown. These little photo booth pictures are from waaaaay back in 2004! :O Haha. This is my lil' sis and I thought she was such a cutie in these pictures, so that's where my title came from! :) (I think she's cute NOW of course, but she's just so little in these pics!)

Birthday Lunch Layout

Just sharing a layout I made the other day...

I have had this Sassafras paper for a long time (the blue paper flower and stripe) and I just haven't had any inspiration to use it! I just put it in the back of my paper file and didn't think about it. Well, we eventually found rub-ons to match the paper (We didn't even know they mathched when we bought them!) and so that kinda gave me an incentive to use the paper!

Lately, I have been being adventurous and matching the paper on my own! So I used some American Crafts and Cosmo Cricket paper along with my Sassafras paper!

I started this page with a Sketch Generations sketch. I altered it a bit to accomidate the number of pictures I wanted to use.
