Hello, Friends!
I'm glad you stopped by today, because it's Deconstructed Sketch time!
And this week's sketch #75 is another fun one!

I know that I've gone super simple this week, but I really wanted to do a card for this being breast cancer awareness month and thought this was a great sketch for what I had in mind. I've used a sentiment stamp from Sweet and Sassy Stamps and pink ribbon stamp from Starving Artist. The paper is from We R Memory Keepers and the ribbon is Amuse Studio.

I hope that you will join us for sketch 75! Be sure to visit all the Sketch Girls to see how they've used this week's sketch! Have a great day!

Easy Being Green

Hi Friends!
It's time for another challenge over at The Pink Elephant! And this week your challenge is to make a Halloween themed card or project!

For my card I've used a digi stamp from the Bug and Roo collection over at By LORi Designs. Miss Hannah designed this little cutie, called Froggy Boy. I've paired him with papers and buttons from Basic Grey Eerie and EP paper Chillingsworth.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope that you'll join in on the fun this week over at The Pink Elephant Challenge Blog! Be sure and check out all the amazing inspirations that Ella's Girls have for you!

First Flight

Hello, Friends!
I'm glad you stopped by today, because it's Deconstructed Sketch time! Get ready for another FAB week and this week's sketch #74.

I couldn't resist giving this sketch the ole flip-a-roo again! For my card I chose to work with this stamp from A Day For Daisies called First Flight. I think that is such a perfect name for this image that I decided not to include a sentiment on my card. If you know me, you know I'm not very big on Halloween, mostly because of all the creepy and scary elements that people have embraced. But I am a fan of the Harry Potter books, so maybe these two witchy-poos aren't headed off to cause trouble, but instead is a big Sis teaching a little Sis to fly before she heads off to her first year at Hogwarts. :)
I've paired this stamp with papers from Basic Grey Eerie and Echo Park Paper Chillingsworth and buttons from Kaisercraft.

I hope that you will join us for sketch 74! Be sure to visit all the Sketch Girls to see how they've used this week's sketch! Have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Friends!
I'm back with another fun By LORi Designs card today! LORi has got some SUUUUUUUPER cute Halloween and Thanksgiving images in the BLD shop and they are just waiting to be scooped up and colored!

For my card I decided I was in an early Thanksgiving mood and wanted to get Puddle Jumper Jacob inked up. I've colored the wee Pilgrim lad in Copics and paired him with papers from Fancy Pants Oct. 31.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to visit all of the BLD Girls and see all the Fab Fall Creations!

Sweet Treats!

Hi Friends!
It's time for another challenge over at The Pink Elephant! And this week your challenge is to make a yummy TREAT HOLDER!

For these treat holders I wanted a fun way to give candy bars, but also add that touch of "homemade" love. I've used papers from Echo Park Paper Chillingsworth and stamps from Stampin Up. Oh and a few Nesties and fibers too!

I've also got a special announcement for you today!! There's a DT call happening over at The Pink Elephant! TPE is going to be bringing back Ella's Pink Scrapbook Challenges and are looking for a few friendly folks to be on the Scrapbook Design Team!

To Warm Your Heart

Hi Friends!
I hope you're having a SUPER Friday!! Isn't that a given since it's the best day of the week? :)

I have a little card for you today that I was actually supposed to post on Wednesday, but left my camera at home!
This is a card I made for a mystery swap that I'm in. Every few months we have a different hostess and she picks out a stamp for us to work with. For this round, Terry chose for us to use one of my all time FAVE stamps--A la mode Miss You A Latte from MFT stamps.

I wanted to keep my card pretty CAS to let the stamp shine. I used papers from K and Company, a touch of hand stitching and sentiment from Hero Arts, as well as "friend blend" stamp from PTI's Tea for Two Additions.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see my card. Have a WONDERFUL weekend!
