You're Pretty Fantastic

Hi there!

I recently received my October Simon Says Stamp Card Kit that is just full of the beautiful new My Story collection by My Mind's Eye. I also picked up some more of the collection at my LSS, so I couldn't wait to get creating with all of my new goodies.

I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch for this card although I decided to just go with the standard card size rather than tall & skinny.

I made it for my best friend who has some really great opportunities opening up for her right now.

The Deconstructed Sketch No. 199

Hello there!

Welcome to this week's edition of The Deconstructed Sketch!

Jen has created another great sketch for us to play with this week.

I started with a circle of watercolor paper and added a wash of Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks, then added some splatters of the same colors of Distress Spray Stains, along with a spritz of Tarnished Bronze Distress Spray Stain. I then used the wreath image from the Happy Christmas stamp set, along with a couple of small chevrons from V for Chevron, sentiment from Winter Woodland and the 'happy' die from The Big, The Bold and the Happy Cutaways collection from Winnie and Walter. The Memory Box Lunette butterfly was cut from vellum and layered with gold glitter paper.  

Here is the list of the other DT members so you can see how they were inspired by this week's sketch:

• Arielle Gordon
• Cresta Woodruff
• Jen Shults
• Kadie Ensley 
• Sheri Gilson
• Tangii Crain  (posting later today)
• Tracey Pickersgill  

I hope you are inspired to give this fabulous sketch a try. If you want to play along with us at The Deconstructed Sketch this week, the linky tool and details are over on Jen's blog!

I am also entering this in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes.

The Deconstructed Sketch No. 191

Hello there!

Welcome to this week's edition of The Deconstructed Sketch!

Jen has created another awesome sketch for us this week! I had a lot of fun with this one.

I used the new Simon Says Stamp card kit for this card along with the Fishtail Flags STAX by My Favorite Things, crochet trim by May Arts, the Floral Ovals die from Spellbinders, and a random butterfly leftover from a previous project cut with my Silhouette. I have to say that I LOVE this kit-- the colors, patterns and stamp set... so perfect!

AE I Heart U Challenge #18

Hello there!

Just popping in with a card I made for Avery Elle's I ♥ U monthly challenge. This month's theme is Holiday!

Since I don't have any holiday specific Avery Elle stamps, I had to use my imagination a bit. I found that the tree from the Happy Camper set made a lovely fir bough when repeated around a circle to form a wreath! The berries from Petals and Stems made delightful filler, and the tiny little bird and star/snowflake? from Oh Happy Day found a place as well. I was lucky enough to find a holiday sentiment in So Happy to round out my card!

I had a lot of fun with this challenge. If you want to play along, it is going on all month and the prize is a $25 gift certificate to Avery Elle! (which I would use to buy some holiday stamps! ☺)
