Hi all! Just wanted to pop in a little early for world card making day!! I have been SWAMPED and have barely had time to even sit down. I haven't even had time to play with all my new stamps from the last papertrey ink release but I do plan on doing that tomorrow!! I mean it IS world card making day and what else are you supposed to do?? har har!!... I did this card in a snap using the new petite papers by websters pages. I love love love these papers!!! I followed this sketch from unscripted sketches .. I love sketches...sure makes it easy!! I stamped the background a little sporatically using background basics text style from papertrey ink with vintage cream ink. The sentiment is from the new Signature Christmas set. I did manage to ink up a few from this set up for all my sentiments. The rest of the card is all papers from the petite pack called the holiday collection pack. I got mine over at Ellen's store and she is having a sale this weekend so pop on over ...... the code is on the front page.
Hope you all have a great world card making day ....

Hi All!! I have another unscripted sketch this week. I decided to do a fall card since I can smell fall in the air. Yippee!! Fall is my favorite season..... I am really likin' these sketches and this one I flipped. Mainly because I wanted to use a journaling block stamp that I have had for a couple of years now from basic grey. I stamped it in dark chocolate and cut it out. I then stamped the wreath from the autumn abundance set from papertrey ink in summer sunrise, the happy fall in ripe avocado, and the swirl in really rust. I layered this onto a scrap piece of patterned paper from my minds eye. I stamped the pumpkins in summer sunrise then did the rock n roll in pumpkin pie and really rust, then cut out and adhered with a dimensional. Everything else is mounted on a really rust card that I stamped very lightly with one of the text stamps from the text style set in dark chocolate ink. Add some ribbon and buttons and another sketch completed!! Yea!!
I'm off to look at my new order of hero arts stamps!! I bought a couple of new background stamps that I have been dying for!!! I LOVE background stamps!!! I feel like I have been in shopping mode the last couple of weeks.... sheesh... between new punches, stamps & paper I'm good to go for the holiday season. Oh well it keeps me busy and out of trouble...ummm sort of!!!
Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

Hi there!! Hope everyone had a great weekend. I was in cleaning mode and I accomplished alot the last few days. I even made a few cards, one of which is this one for the unscripted sketch #22.
I just stumbled upon this sketch challenge and decided to participate. I really like the sketches and all the possibilities. I used my new cosmo cricket early bird mini deck paper that I got at ellens store the other day. I love these mini decks. If you love cosmo cricket you will love these..... the same paper just scaled down to 6x6...perfect for us card makers!!! I used my favorite everyday button bits from papertrey and used buttons that I had that matched the papers. I stamped the sentiment on vintage cream in dark chocolate ink and then cut each word out and antiqued the edges with the lightest colors of the distress duo then matted the words on an aqua mist strip which I then antiqued. I stamped the kind part right on the image and adhered the rest of the sentence in front so that it flowed together. The other strip in the sketch I used dark chocolate satin ribbon. I got the card all done and was putting away my ink and I had a tad bit on my finger and I touched the card without knowing!!! So guess what I had this little tiny ink mark right on the top of the image!! I was so perturbed!! I mean it's one thing if you are just starting a card but it is completely another when you are finished!! So what is a girl supposed to do???? I got out my favorite martha stewart punch and punched me some brown butterflies and stuck one over the smidgen of a smudge. One didn't look right so I added two more to even it all out and saved the card!! Whew!! Any one else have that happen.... you get a card done or almost done and somehow you screw it up???? I hope I am not the only one!!
Well I'm off .......... Thanks for looking and have a great day!!!
