If You Bring Me Coffee

Hi Friends!
It's Thursday and you know what that means--Deconstructed Sketch time! And we made it, we're in the 200's now, and here's sketch 201!

For my card I've used stamp sentiment from Amuse Studio and papers from MME. I was just feeling a little cheeky with this card. Such a fun sketch this time around!

I Freakin' Love You

Hello! Happy Thursday!

We've got another Deconstructed Sketch to get your craft mojo going! And while this one is a little unique, it's definitely up to your individual interpretation.

I had a great time creating this card. I used an old Stampin up set called itty bitty backgrounds and paired it with this fun sentiment from Amuse Studio. AND I got to use the Grand Calibur my Hubbers bought me for my bday, to create the circular shaped card! Wahoo!!

Here is the awesome sketch and links to the AMAZING inspiration from the Sketch Girls.
Hope you'll join us!

Hi Friends!
Welcome to another challenge for The Pink Elephant!

This week challenge #284 is to use the inspiration photo below and create a card or project. Then submit your creation to the TPE blog and show us your inspiration!

Hope to have you play along!

For my card I've used a stamp set from Amuse Studio and cut out around the border to leave the inside open for my scraps of patterned paper. I used the heart stamp that it's included in this set and added some icicle Stickles to make is sparkle. Hope you like it!

Hi Friends and Happy Monday!

I'm back with another fun card and challenge for The Pink Elephant. This week your challenge is to create a card or project using the THEME of LOVE. That's it! Anything that speaks LOVE to you.

Can't wait to see what you create!

For my card I've used stamps from Amuse Studio for both the heart background and the main image/sentiment. The slate ribbon is also from Amuse.

Shaker Cards

Hellooooooo!
I know it's been quite some time, but I'm back and ready to get my craft on!

Today I'm here to share this week's challenge #281 over at The Pink Elephant: Shaker Cards

All you have to do is create a card or project with something fun bouncing about inside and submit your project to the TPE blog. Here is an easy tutorial on SCS if you're looking to learn.

For my card I've used stamps from Amuse Studio with a few jewel accents and cut my shaker element from the diagonal rays bursting from the background stamp. Inside is a bit of heavy confetti to help this card be extra rockin'.

Hope you'll play with us! Have a great Monday!

Happy Birthday

Golden Anniversary

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY DUELING DARLINGS CARD

Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!

It's time for challenge #195 over at The Pink Elephant and this week it's time to try your hand at PAPER PIECING!

Well, I just happened to have this card at the tip of my fingers that my friends Paola, Carol and I created last weekend for another dear, dear friend of ours who recently celebrated her Golden Anniversary with hubby of 50 years! I was hoping that this card would have arrived before I blogged about it, but since the paper piecing challenge came up, I knew I had to let the cat out of the bag. Judy, m'dear--Happy Happy Anniversary and this card is coming your way with love from the 3 of us (a collaborative effort).

The cake stamp used for this card is from an Amuse Studio set, called Build a Cake and the sentiment is also Amuse, called Essential Sentiments; stamped on a Spellbinders die. The background die is from Memory Box and there is a scored border. The turquoise cardstock is MFT and the paper pieced patterned paper is from Echo Park Paper, This and That. And lastly the cake is adorned with Gold Stickles and the card with pearl dots.

Thanks for popping by! Be sure to go visit The Pink Elephant Blog to see all the wonderful creations.
Have a wonderful day!

I used a super fun set that I just picked up from Amuse Studio! It's called Geek is the New Chic. There are 6 different pairs of glasses and various sentiments. Pop over HERE to my friend, Jeanette's store and check it out for yourself.
I've paired this Chic set with papers from American Crafts, Sage Shadow and Not Quite Navy ink from Stampin Up, and seam binding ribbon made by my ADFD teammie, Sherry!

New Little Peanut

Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!

It's time for challenge #192 over at The Pink Elephant and this week it's to GO CLEAN AND SIMPLE (aka CAS)!

For my card it was easy to know what I was going to do, because I had a little card in mind for my new little nephew who will be born very soon! I've used stamps from Amuse Studio, ribbon from SU and my trusty Martha Stewart grass punch. And now I eagerly await the arrival of little Jonas! Woohooo!

A Special Valentine

Hi Friends!
Happy Monday!

It's time for challenge #185 over at The Pink Elephant and this week it's time for an inspiration photo challenge!

For my card, I've used this yummy "Build A Cake" stamp from Amuse Studio and paired it with papers from K and Company. The ribbon behind the cake panel is from Stampin Up (compliments of my secret sister, Linda) and the bow in front is ribbon handmade by my ADFD teammie, Sherry! The little flowers are from Prima and the cake is stamped in SU Real Red. AND this is a very special card, because it's for my little sister, who was born on Valentine's Day and is celebrating her 30th this year! I can't believe she's turning 30!! That makes me feel so old... haha

Note Of Thanks

Hi Friends!
Welcome back for another fabulous and fun Thursday over at The Deconstructed Sketch! This week we're at sketch #48 and it's another brilliant one!

As you can see I've given this week's sketch the ole flip-a-roo again to fit the fun bird cage set I've gotten from Amuse Studio. I also used a musical background stamp from Amuse as well, to give these songs birds a melody. I've paired the stamps with papers from My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dilly Dally and topped it off with some hand stitching. If you like these sets I've used and/or are interested in finding out more about Amuse Studio, my friend Jeanette is a consultant and would love to hear from you!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll join in the sketchy fun this week! Be sure to check out the amazing creations from the rest of the Deconstructed Sketch Girls!
