Smile.....{Seize The Sketch #15}

Good Morning Everyone!

It is time for another Seize The Sketch Challenge.

Here is the new challenge sketch.....

Hosted this week by the very talented Cathy

And here is the card I made based on the sketch!

I have not colored an image in such a long time and have forgotten how relaxing it is :)
I used the adorable Pinwheel Birgitta stamp from C.C. Designs and colored her with my copics.
Following the sketch, I pulled papers for my card from Fancy Pants~Memories Captured paper pack.
For the grass, I used the new My Creative Time~Stitched Grass Die....LOVE this die BTW and the sentiment comes from My Creative Time~Things I Love... stamp set. 
I stamped it on a die cut also from My Creative Time~ Chunky Jar Accessory Set .
A few enamel dots next to the sentiment and my card is complete.

So what do you think???

I hope you like my card and will play along with the new challenge!

Make sure to head on over to the Seize The Sketch blog to see what the other DT members created with this sketch and for all the details on how you can play along.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!

Clean and Simple Challenge.......{TKJ}{Post #2}

Good Morning and Happy Monday everyone!!!

(for my Trendy Twine Back to School card please click HERE~ It is so super adorable if I can say so myself...LOL...you won't be dissapointed!)

It is time for a new challenge over at

 The Kraft Journal!

And this week the challenge is:

Clean and Simple~ Otherwise known in the bloggy world as CAS

Since I LOVE making CAS cards, this challenge was a fun one for me!!

I used the Hypothesis from Fusion Card Challenge

and incorporated the sketch as well as the pink, green and kraft colors from the other~

So I guess you could say I fused them both! LOL!!

Here is my card....Hope you like it!!

I recently won this adorable C.C. Designs ~Pinwheel Birgitta from my friend and fellow DT sister Karen over at her challenge blog~ Word Art Wednesday and I could not wait to ink her up! Isn't she precious????

Once she was colored using my copic marker and matted on a scalloped oval using Blackboard Stock Paper  I went about assembling my card. I started my card by using a piece of Light Kraft Cover Weight Cardstock as my card base and then adding a mat of white cardstock.  Next I layered some Blackboard Stock Paper  with the pattern paper I used from Fancy Pants~Wonderful Day paper pack. Then using more matching paper from the same stack I die cut 3 banners using My Creative Time's~Vintage Stitched Label Dies. Then to finish my card I added a button from my stash and threaded some white hemp from the Brights Hemp Cord pack.

So there you have it....
my inspiration for this week's challenge.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will play along with us!

As always I have linked all the supplies I used from The Kraft Outlet throughout my description.  If you have not checked out the store yet....make sure you do! There is so much available, the prices are so reasonable and shipping is super fast!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Monday!!
