Deconstructed Sketch Rewind



Hi Friends!
It's Thursday and you know what that means--Deconstructed Sketch time! But this week is extra special because we don't have a new sketch for you, but new versions of some of our favorite sketches from the past 200!
Well, I have to say that it's been an honor to have been there since sketch 1, which made it even harder to choose just one sketch for this week! So, I decided just to grab the first one that came up in my fave past sketches folder. Kinda like and eenie meenie minie moe thing. Cause honestly--I love all the sketches!
So without further adieu, here is a rewind on sketch #54!
I decided not to even peek at my old card until after I'd created my new one. I didn't want it to influence me in any way. And I'm glad I didn't because I think they turned out pretty differently. For my new version, I used this unicorn stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and paired it with papers from Fancy Pants. I used ribbon for the cascade down the middle (instead of torn paper as I did in my original version). And this time I kept the image pretty much inside the circle/square.

And here is my original sketch 54 card from several years ago. What a fun week to go back and reminisce, as well as get to recreate with some of our favorite sketches!

Hope you'll join us!

For my card I've used this awesome stamp from By LORi Designs and paired her with yummy papers from Basic Grey Pantry (retired). The sentiment is PTI.

Deconstructed Sketch 200



Hello Friends! It's Thursday and you know what that means--time for this week's Deconstructed Sketch Challenge!
And what an exciting week it is, because we've reached sketch #200!!

I decided for my card to pay a little homage to that saying, "You Only Live Once". I've been thinking a lot about that this week. It's so easy to get caught in busy life and each day looks like the next, with years passing so quickly. So, I want to be sure and live my best every day :)

Hope you'll join us this week for sketch #200!

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!

Birthday Party



Hello! Happy Thursday!

I've got another Deconstructed Sketch to get your craft mojo going!


For this card I've used some fun scribbly stamps from Papertrey Ink and heat embossed them. The lighting is a little off because the green really is closed to the sentiment's green.

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

My card today is also my Duelings Darlings card for this month! (Sorry for being a day late).
Tami was our hostess for the Divas this round (Melina for the Dazzlers) and she sent us a wonderfully fun kit, complete with this sweet Lizzy Dressed stamp from Great Impressions.

The April theme is, "I picked a flower for you," and I hope I did this theme and kit proud!
Thanks again for an awesome kit, Tami!
Please check out what the rest of the Dueling Darlings have created for April! (see side bar for links)
