Paige's sketch: Just because

Last up is Paige's sketch. I really played around with this one. I used up some paper I rec'd and my bella baubles.

This has been fun (even though I didn't get to everyone's sketch in the group). I am going to still try to do that because I love cards! lol

Enjoy!

Cathleen's sketch: Kneel

Today I am featuring Cathleen's sketch. This is another CTMH sketch with PTI ribbon. I loved how this card turned out. Very simple and clean.

It was with great prayers that this card is being sent out. Friends far away have found out some devastating news and this is the card I made for them. A few of my blogging sisters are sending cards (thank you girls!!), my dad & stepmother have a card ministry at their church, and they are being covered in prayer from coast to coast!

The inside sentiment is "When life is too much to stand... Kneel"

Becky's sketch: Make a Wish

Next up is Becky's sketch!

This is another all CTMH card (sorry that I am so bad about not knowing the names!!). The colors are Dutch Blue, Sunflower, and Hollyhock- I do know that! I ran the HH cs through the Swiss Dots cb folder. And, the sentiment/image panel (from an unknown J's purchase a couple of years ago) was stamped first in the lighter Sunflower (cupcake) and then the darker Dutch blue. Never did that before and love the look!

Enjoy!

Michelle's sketch: Cherry Good wishes

Next up is (my personal favorite) Michelle's sketch! I case'd Okie, but used some old Basic Grey paper (with some extra distressing), PTI cs and ribbon, stickles, and glossy accents. I just LOVE this card. It's just "cool" IRL. Wish you could see it!

Enjoy!

Christyne's sketch: Happy Birthday

I'm finally getting around to posting some of the cards I've made from my blogging sister' (Ladies, Ink) sketches.



First up is Christyne! She is our Challenge Hostess and wow, was this a doozy! (and I thought last month was outside of my "box")...



She issued a challenge to create your OWN card sketch, and then have to make cards of the other ladies' sketches (all by the 31st).



Well, I won't make it all this month, unfortunately. Too much going on these last couple of weeks... but I do have a few cards to show you before then!



This is CTMH Paper Garden (some of my all time fave pp ever) with Say it in Style sentiment in Sweet Leaf and the flower image is in Petal. The scallop was cut with my cricut.



Enjoy!

1st day of Kindergarten- Jake

Todays the BIG day!! Our oldest is off to his first day of kindergarten. We are all very excited. This is an all CTMH card (except for the ribbon that I've had for years). The paper pack is School Zone (as is the stamp set- including the boy image and the sentiment). I saw a "bookplate" on someone else's blog and wanted one, but none of my cricut carts had one, so I designed my own!! Yipee for me!

I watercolored the boy (again, seriously wanting to sell my copics... I know one of my blogging sisters sent me an email about buying them but I can't find it!! ) and tied the bow and glue-dotted it onto the card.

Enjoy!

Pre-K layout

Sorry for the week long absence everyone! There have been a lot of things happening in our personal world that have not allowed for any time on the computer.

Some of those things are REALLY fun... our oldest starts kindergarten on Monday!! Earlier this summer I completed (finally) his Pre-K layout of his class picture, but realized I never posted it (ack!).

So, here it is. I am so proud of it and him! I used a cricut cartridge, paper and diecuts I got from back at the GASC last year June, and more of my stash.

He is VERY excited about starting "big school" and we are excited for him!

Enjoy!
