one more card for the weekend...

I also decided to participate in the Go To Sketch Challenge Week over at Paper Craft Connection. Go here to see what others are creating. Here's the sketch:

My take....

ingredients: cardstock (AC, Bazzill), die cut (Nestabilities), metal images (Making Memories), Cuttlebug embossing folder, ribbon, buttons, black twine, sticker sentiment (EK success), ink (Craft Smart white), zots, brayer

I used my brayer for the first time today. After I embossed the red cs I rolled the brayer in white ink then rolled it over the raised portion of the red cs; I like the effect :D However, I can't decide if I like the 'cheers' sentiment on the card or if I like it better plain...what do you think?

I'm back!

Wow it's been a long time since I last did a blog post or made a card for that matter. EEK! Well, now that school is winding down I had a chance to make a few cards this weekend. I made several cards from the Get Sketchy Challenge over at Moxie Fab World b/c I absolutely fell in love with it!

Embellish Color Challenge with Stripes

Wow the new year has certainly started off to be a busy one! I was able to make some cards a couple weekends ago but then got a bad stomach bug so I didn't get the chance to post anything. I haven't had the strength to do much more than drive to school, go to school and drive home so I haven't touched my craft supplies in awhile. Today, however, I was able to make a couple more cards (to be posted later) so I thought I would participate again in the Embellish Challenge. I couldn't find any striped paper or ribbon that I liked for the card so I ended up embossing a piece of purple paper (it is much closer to the sample color than my picture depicts) with my ruler and the bone folder (at least I think it's called that...lol).

Here are the deets (click on pic to go to site):

Here's my take....

ingredients:

• white 5x7 card - Hobby Lobby
• cs - Bazzill
• ribbon - Hobby Lobby
• buttons - Doodlebug
• vinyl letters - AC Thickers (totally in love with these!!!)

PS Hope you enjoy the super cute custom blog Michelle Laycock made especially for me :D
