Sketch #657

 Hello Crafty Friends, 

I started with an idea for this sketch, and then found just a little bit of this old paper and cardstock that I wanted to use up. I also knew I needed more "male" baby cards because i did a craft fair last weekend and sold all my boy/baby boy cards! 

So this is the card I created..

This is the sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Go check it out and see all the other card ideas with this sketch. 

And because I really wanted to finish up the paper and move back to Christmas cards, I kept going. Well I turned out 10 cards in total! I am feeling accomplished. 

Variety of baby, boy and even a Christmas Card in there :)

Are you like me and have to finish the paper pack?

Until next time.

Snowy sketch #653

 Hello Crafty Friends,

Today's sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge is pretty versatile and was designed, I'm sure, for the Elegant Pines paper and stamp set from Stampin up, which i had so much fun playing with today!

Here is my card... 

And this is the sketch challenge inspiration.... 

Its a bit hard to see the oval behind the snowflake but its there, In real life it looks really pretty. Is this a stamp set and paper that you would use? I like that it will work for winter, and here in ontario we have a LONG winter. 

Cant wait to see what you do with this sketch.

Until nest time.

Tis the season

 Hello Crafty friends, 

Today i have carved out the day to just be creative in my craft room. I want to start my Christmas cards so i clinked on the Christmas cards all year website and thought i would try to make a card with the song "Hard Christmas candy" as inspiration. 

So i first went to spotify to listen to the song. The first one to show was Dolly Parton singing it. The line "just fine and dandy" struck me, its a bit melon cauly and it reminded me that sometimes chirstmas is stressful.... I have this little elf who is having trouble hanging his Christmas lights and seems to be "falling" so that is how i ended up creating my card! I hope the design team will allow this as the criteria :)

Here is my card...

And since the supplies and this paper was out, i made a second card. 

Hope you get a chance to get crafty soon. 

Thank you for visiting my Blog.
