Thought of You Today

Hi everyone! Thank you for stopping by today! I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches # 193 challenge. I have a hard time sometimes making a "clean" card. I tend to use tons of designer and patterned paper, so this was kinda nerve wrecking..lol. Here is the sketch:  

And here is my simple card....

Have a happy Monday!

Celebrating your birthday..

Hi there! Hope your week went by quickly. I should be hearing about a job soon. Hopefully, I'm hoping something comes along <fingers crossed>.

So, today I am playing along with the Freshly Made sketch for this week. It's a great sketch with lots of possibilities. I decided to get out some designer paper (big surprise!) and create a birthday card. Here is my card:

And here is the sketch for this week....

I just love the colors of that designer paper and the flower (and coordinating punch) is from Stampin' Up! So shabby chic-ish so says my daughter..haha. Anyway, I hope your weekend gets started nicely. See you soon and thanks for stopping in!

Thinking of you!

Hey there! I'm back this morning with another card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. It ends in a few hours, so I am squeezing it in. :)

And here, again, is the great sketch! I went a little outside the box for this card. It's definitely more graphic and bold than most of my cards, but I like it.

I'm also using this week's color combo at Color Throwdown. It's so bright and cheery. I decided to go a little darker on the base!

 Well, that's it from me today. I hope your week is starting off well. Take care!

Thought of you today....

Happy Saturday everyone! We have the county fair in town, so we went last night and had a great time. Fair food = yum! :)

Today, I have another card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches. I just love the sketch. I used some great designer paper I found in a stash I have had for a couple of years. It matched perfectly with the SU Strawberry Slush (which may just be my favorite color ever!) and the PapertreyInk Lemon Tart - another favorite. I just adore this card. The sentiment is also from SU. The butterfly is an older Verve die. Anyway, here is my card:

And here, again, is the sketch:

Well, that's that. I hope you're having a wonderful Saturday!

I think you can!

Well, good morning to everyone! I have a full day ahead of me, but I still managed to get a quick card in for this week's Freshly Made Sketch and also the colors from this week's Color Throwdown. It's a really neat design with such vibrant colors from the ladies at CTD. Here is a quick card I made for it.

And here is the sketch:

And the color scheme:

I just love the little Papertrey Train Track's set. I don't use it a whole lot, but it is a fun set.There is a little boy having some trouble in school, so I think this will be in the mail today on it's way to him! :)


Signing off...

Sincere thanks..

Hello! Boy, it's been good to be creating again. Just feeling creative has really lifted me out of the funk of not working.  I am pretty sure, though, I have that job I applied for. They seem to like me, so we shall see. 
The sketch is lovely with too many possibilities. Since I am trying to learn to sometimes keep it simple, I came up with a really quick card. It was fun to just not over think a card. Just have a person in mind and make something they would enjoy instead of what I would enjoy, ya know? Anyway, so without further ado here is my card:

I played along with the ladies over at  Freshly Made sketches using this weeks sketch:

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend. I'll be back tomorrow with someything new...maybe. :)
