Sweet Sunday Sketch #19

Happy Wednesday!!! :) This weekend another sketch challenge I worked on was the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge that Karen Giron has every Sunday! This card was featured last week and I couldn't have been happier...thanks Karen! :) I just loved the simplicity of this weeks sketch, so I went with less is more for this card...you likey?!?!


I used another Ketto and her name is Anise. I stamped her in Brilliance Graphite Black Ink and colored her with my CTMH Markers. I also added some Star Dust Stickles to the flower centers and her wings...she's too cute IRL! :) I again used my new favorite sentiment set from PTI called Mega Mixed Messages....I just can't stop using it! ;) I added a few Creative Cafe buttons and pop dotted my image onto my base of Prism Spring Willow CS and whola! :)

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope everyone has a fabulous Wednesday!!! ~ Jenn

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #18

Well, hello there! :) I apologize to all who read my blog for being absent so long. I've had a lot going on this past month, but it's getting better and I finally felt like stamping yesterday so let's get to it, shall we?!?! I'm here today with a card I made for Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. I've missed doing a lot of the sketch challenges and thought I would start with Karen's to try and get my mojo going and she totally didn't disappoint.

Since I've been away, I ordered some stamps from Papetrey Ink that arrived and I just had to ink them up! So I started with Scattered Showers by Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite. This set is absolutely adorable with all it's umbrellas and different patterns, and the sentiments are just perfect. I love the one I chose for this card, I mean who wouldn't cheer up after seeing this card?!?! I also used some new My Mind's Eye paper that I picked up from my LSS. I am so lovin' this Penny Lane Collection...it's just too fun! :)

Well that's gonna be it for me today, I've got to run to another doctor's appt. this morning and then it's back to work! :) Take care and have a fabulous day! ~ Jenn

Sweet Sunday Sketch #12

Good Morning! Is it bad that it's only Tuesday and I already wish the weekend was here again?!?! LOL!!! :) I've just been extremely exhausted lately and haven't felt the best...but I'm gonna push through it, because that's what I do! :) I have another Sweet Sunday Sketch card to show you this morning. Karen's sketches are so fun and I always look forward to seeing what she comes up with every Sunday!

I decided I would ink up these sweet little birdies from the Kim Hughes 'The Birds and the Bees (Love)' set! And I paired them with some October Afternoon paper that I just love! I'm almost done using all my scraps of this paper...I will be sad to see it go! :( The sentiment comes from the set too. It says Sweetie Pie, but I only inked up the Sweetie and stamped it on my card...I just love it! :)

Well I gotta run! I have a lot of work to do today and then off to Boot Camp I go! :)

Sweet Sunday Sketch #11

Hey there! Well I was finally able to take a decent pic of my card for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #11. I've had it done since Monday, but we've had crappy weather all week and today is the first day that it's not raining (well we did have a storm come through this morning, but it' gone now) and the sun is brightly shining! :D

I used my Growing with Unity stamp for this card...that bird is so whimsical! :D I didn't do a whole lot to this card...just didn't think it needed too much froo froo stuff on it. So when I was done I just added some brads and a Prima and called it done!

Well I hope everyone is enjoying their Thursday! I had jury duty (thank goodness I didn't get picked) this morning and just got home from eating lunch with my hubby! :) He didn't even know I was coming to see him, so he was totally shocked! I even got lost when I was in Downtown Houston, but I wanted it to be a surprise so I couldn't call to ask him to help me!!! LOL!!! :) But I found my way around and all was good.

Well I'm off to get some laundry done, take a nap and then off to boot camp I go! So have a great afternoon and hope to be back soon with something crafty! :) ~ Jenn

Two Challenges in One

Hey there! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, mine was good but busy. We went out looking at computers on Saturday. I think we went to about every store that sells computers to price the same one out. We did a lot of running around, but I think we've found one that we like, we just need to go and get it now.

I've been busy at my craft table whittling away at some cards to post this week! My card today combines two challenges. The first challenge being Dawn McVey's very first color challenge called Raspberry Suite Color Challenge Week 1. Dawn's cards are always so fun, bright and cheery and I couldn't wait to get started on the color challenge! :D The sketch is Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #10.

Sophia was stamped in Brilliance Graphite Black Ink onto White Daisy CS. I then colored her with my Copics and cut her out with my Rectangle Nesties. I matted her onto a piece of Bazzill Bitter Chocolate CS and added a couple of Primas. I used some more paper from the DCWV Citrus pack...it's slowly becoming my new favorite! I also did some stitching and added three different sizes of CTMH White Daisy brads.

Well that's it for me today...it's back to another week of work! :) I wish I had another day off just to recuperate from my busy weekend...LOL!!! Take care and have a fabulous day!!! ~ Jenn
