Mixed Tape


Hi Friends!
I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday!

I've got another fun card for you using this week's Deconstructed Sketch #116!

For my card, I decided to use this fun Unity stamp to go with the awesome CAS sketch that Jen gave us. Of course, you can go as elaborate and ornate as you would like with your card or project, but I chose to keep it simple this week. I've paired the stamp with papers from WeRMemory Keepers and buttons from Basic Grey.

Thank you so much for popping by!
I hope you will check out the fabulous creations of the other Deconstructed Sketch Girls!
See you back here next week for Sketch 117!

Anything But A Card




Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!
I'm back with today's challenge #213 over at The Pink Elephant and this week we're making ANYTHING BUT A CARD. All you have to do is create a fun project and submit your link on the TPE BLOG.


I've actually recycled a couple of my old projects because my craft room is under serious disarray at the moment and I couldn't get to many of my "non-card" supplies.
The first, is a Halloween treat basket using a diaper fold and Puddle Jumper Witchy Prue from By LORi Designs.
And the second, is a fun embellishment I made for my Copic tin. This project also features a stamp from BLD, called Lollipop Lacie. Oops, she's very similar to Lacie, but her name has escaped me. You can find all the Lollipops HERE in the BLD store!

Fall Football



Hi Friends!
I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday!

I've got another fun card for you using this week's Deconstructed Sketch #114!

For my card I've also incorporated this month's DUEL for Dueling Darlings. Laura Jean sent us this awesome football themed kit and I used as much of it as possible. The stamp is a Pure Innocence stamp from My Favorite Things, colored up with Copics.

We are also supposed to share something we love about fall or a fond fall memory. I love when the weather starts to change. I love the smell in the air and the leaves on the ground. I love when the sweaters come out and it's an any day occasion for picking myself up a hot latte!

Thank you so much for popping by!
I hope you will check out the fabulous creations of the other Deconstructed Sketch Girls! AND check out the Duel with the Darlings too! See you back here next week for Sketch 115!

That's SO Orange




Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!
I'm back with today's challenge #212 over at The Pink Elephant and it's time for another awesome PHOTO INSPIRATION! All you have to do is use the below photo as inspiration for your card are project and submit your link on the TPE BLOG. It was perfect inspiration for me, because I LOVE the color orange.

Actually, funny story---in college I thought I could start my own trend with the word orange. It seemed every day someone was coming up with some new word for "cool," so I decided when I liked something I was going to equate it to my favorite color. Thus, "that's so orange" was born. And it actually caught on for a little bit in my neck of the woods too! :)

For my card I've used another adorable Puddle Jumper stamp from By LORi Designs. This is Hadley and she is new in the store! CHECK IT OUT! I've paired Hadley with papers from October Afternoon Witch Hazel and Amuse studio gingham, flower from Prima, pearls from Kaisercraft and sentiment from PTI.

Hello, Old Friend!


Hi Friends!
I've got another fun Deconstructed Sketch  for you today! Can you believe we're at 113 already?

This is Puddle Jumper, Lucas, from By LORi Designs and he is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES. And he is also one of the handful or so BLD stamps that you can buy in rubber so far. He also comes with his little friend baby chick! So pop over to the BLD Facebook page and message LORi to get your very own Lucas in rubbah today (be sure and "like" BLD while you're there too).  :)

I kinda feel like my card turned out a little too busy, but I kept changing my mind with things! Lucas is colored up with Copics and paired with papers from Echo Park Playground. The buttons are Basic Grey and the playing card is My Mind's Eye.

Have a wonderful Thursday, Everyone! Be sure to visit all of the Deconstructed Sketch Gals and see all the FAB creations!

That's How I Roll




Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!
I'm back with today's challenge #211 over at The Pink Elephant and it's time to use TEXTURE on your card or project.

For my card I've used another stamp from the Moonlight Whisper line at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. She's a roller derby cutie! I've colored up this stamp with Copics and paired her with papers from SU and texture from an embossing folder that I ran through my Cuttlebug.

I've also created this fun gal to fit this week's FUN WITH FRUIT challenge over at the Kraftin Kimmie Blog!

Believe



Hi Friends!
I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday!

I've got another fun card for you using this week's Deconstructed Sketch #112! This one I flipped on it's side to fit my stamp idea. :)

For my card I've used another stamp from the Moonlight Whisper line at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. She's a little Tinkerbell inspired stamp--and if you like Peter Pan, there's a few others characters in this line too! I've colored up this stamp with Copics and paired her with papers from SU and punch from Martha Stewart.

I've also created this cutie to fit this week's THINGS WITH WINGS challenge over at the Kraftin Kimmie Blog!
