End of the month and so todays the end of Flashback Summer at Unscripted sketches. Hope you have been playing along and enter for the prizes up for take.

 

 Unscripted Sketches #15 sketch challenge

 I have been wanting to use this stamp set from Technique Tuesday and I found the perfect sketch. I am loving this card. So simple and colorful. I love the red hearts that I added. Heart of the home. I drew the square around the houses in red spica pen so it has a little bling to it and did diamond glaze to the hearts.

Aud Sentiments #88 Anything goes / The two most important

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Prairie Fairy

 

 

                                                    
                                                        Aud Sentiment challenge

       challenge #88  runs from August 29 - Sept 10  is ANYTHING GOES.
                                     Just remember to use a SENTIMENT

 For my card, I did not use a Prairie Fairy image. I got my card done before the images were issued and I hate being late on making my card with weekends being so busy and all. I got some new stamps from PTI so decided to go for it.  I keep saying I am not a pastel person but dang I keep using those colors. What's up with that? I have to admit I do like the colors for this card. I saw Dawn McVey using two background stamps and putting them together to make a background so I did the same and love the look.  I hope I have inspired you to play along at Aud Sentiments and remember use a sentiment on the front of your card. Have fun.

Catch the bug New Release / Be happy

Tuesday August 27, 2013

 

Where has August gone? I can not believe fall is just around the corner.

I hope you all have had a great summer and done some fun things.

 

Catch the bug has a new release this is BEAR BEE HIVE. I'd sure hate to get stung by this bear-bee..LOL  speaking of bee's, hubby's truck is in the back pasture over a bee's nest the kind that make theirs in the ground. He went back there to get some branches to make some beauty bark and parked it but when he went to get in not only was the truck dead but the bee's are all over and he's allergic to bee's so not a good thing. He hopes to get someone to tow him out and hope the bee's have not taken up residence in the truck.

Any how I hope you head over to the Catch the bug store and see the new releases.

Top Tip Tuesday - use your initial  (Bear/Bee button/Be- for Billie )
TIP: if you find a button and think it would make a cute embellishment, take sharp cutting pliers and cut the shank off and file it down, that's what I did to the be button. Lays flat and looks great.

Unscripted Sketches #7 / Sending you a very happy little hello

Saturday August 24, 2013

 

Unscripted Sketches Flashback summer. Sketch #7

So have you been playing along with the Flashback summer bingo over at Unscripted Sketches?? I sure hope so, it's lots of fun and prizes.

 

This is my card for the challenges. I stuck with Papertrey Ink for this whole card.. well not the paper that's SU but the stamps, ink and die. One of my new favorite stamps is the Dahlia stamp set from Papertrey Ink. I love this new stamp but it's a little tricky to line up the layers for the flower. Let's just say this is the 4th flower I made and the other three will never been seen, EVER, NADA. I need to find the trick on lining those three stamps up. I tried to follow Dawn McVey and her sketch on how to line up but easier said than done. But I will be using this image more and more. Practice makes perfect.  I also made my own background by using some polka dot basic pti stamps and just stamping and over stamping. I like the look. I later thought the corners needed rounded. I like this look. I hope you play along and use the sketch above and enter your card over at Unscripted Sketches.

Catch the bug - Free Friday / with sympathy

Friday August 23, 2013

 

Welcome to Catch The Bug and FREE FRIDAY - FLOWER BLOCK LILY

 

I made this into a sympathy card but you could really make it into other cards. It just spoke sympathy to me. I lightly colored the flowers as I like of look of the white showing through. I did a glitter pen over the green dots and the orange but you really cant tell in the photo. The grid is die cut from the YNS tile letter die. When I took the letters out of the die it left this awesome grid which I love cause it broke up the image from the background with out hiding the awesome background paper.
