sketch challenge 225

Pamela at Pamela's World of Scrap is having a sketch challenge for a wonderful prize during October.  She made 3 sketches to use .. a 12x12 layout, a double page layout and a card sketch.  I chose to use the card sketch.  She is offering bonus entries if you use another one of her sketches, if I have another chance I'm going to make another card, she has some great sketches!

here is the sketch and my take on it:

 
 
 

 

I've been having fun with some of my 6x6 paper pads.  The papers on this card are from MME, the tree stamp is from Hobby Lobby and the sentiment stamp is Making Memories.  Thanks for Looking :)

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge 133

This week's challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog was called Down on the Farm which was to create a project using a farm animal

I chose to use my County Fair cartridge for this challenge and I created a couple of simple cards.  I used some denim looking (farmish!) paper for the background on both of them



The sentiment on the chicken card is from My Pink Stamper, the Missing Ewe sentiment is computer generated, thanks for looking!

December 25 Cricut Cartridge

 
 This week I received a new cricut cartridge, It's called December 25 and obvioulsy it is a Christmas cartridge, I was so excited to get it that I've already made a few cards with it.   This first card was made using the 10/14 sketch at Operation Write Home, I used authentique papers and the label is a cut from the cartridge.  The sentiment is stamped with a Studio G one dollar stamps.
 
 The second card was made with one of the few layer cuts on the cartridge, the nativity scene and the star.   The sentiment is stamped with a SU stamp and the papers are from my scraps.
 
This last card using a couple different cuts, the Noel image and the holly and berries are both from the cartridge.    The papers are from Stampin' Up
 
Thanks for Looking

World Cardmaking Day 10-6-2012

Today was world cardmaking day!  A little known holiday to most people.   I made several cards today following challenges on several blogs.   One of the blogs I was looking at all day was Scrapbook & Cards Today Blog 

Every hour they were posting a sketch for a card and a tutorial on tips to make the card
2 of the cards I made are below ... the December card and the January card. 



Thanks for Looking!
Today is World CardMaking Day and I've been making card most of the day to celebrate this little known holiday

Earlier this week at Pamela's World of Scrap she posted 5 card sketches to use when making cards this weekend.  They were simple sketches so I found it easy to make all 5 in very little time.  I used a variety of manufacturers stamps, inks and papers.  I started with this sketch as my circles were already punched out from another project.



The above 3 cards I used my CTMH art philsophy cartridge on to cut the flower, the banners and the cupcake image

 
Thanks for looking!!   I hope you had an enjoyable National CardMaking Day also
