KI Memories Sketch Challenge

Here is a little something I made using the sketch KI Memories posted over on their blog recently. You could create a layout, card or any project and since I'm a card junkie...surprise! I've made a card! I ended up flipping the sketch on it's side I used various papers and embellishments from their Celebration Collection - Just Married.

Creatively Yours - Card Sketch #15

On this card I went a little crazy with a variety of manufacturers. I made it with a fun card sketch from Creatively Yours. I used Bazzill Bling cardstock, Scenic Route Sonoma papers, KI Memories Hula Envy lace cardstock, Basic Grey Urban Prairie cardstock stickers, Making Memories sticker and some Darice gems.

Off to take the hubby out for supper...he turns the big 4-0 tomorrow!

Bo Bunny Cards - Teen Chic

I have a lot of cards to share today, but I have to jet out of here in a few to take Emma to a bday party and Amazing Race and D. Housewives are on tonight - so I may be sharing over the next few days so be sure to stop back. I was able to get quite a few made yesterday for World Card Making Day and also have a few rejects from earlier calls to share too. This yummy Teen Chic paper from Bo Bunny on these 3 cards I received in my kit from Are You Kitting Me recently. I was excited to be asked to be the GDT for October for Page Plans - a fun card sketch site. Here was my take on this week's sketch. I'll be making something every week in October - I'm excited! In addition to the Bo Bunny paper, I also used Bo Bunny brads, DCWV glitter paper and a Prima pink flower.
I made these last two cards at the crop yesterday. This card is based on a sketch over at the Bo Bunny blog. In addition to the Bo Bunny paper and brads, I used a Making Memories metal sentiment and picked up some of the fun new KI Memories glitter lace cardstock. I'm totally into butterflies right now! The big butterfly I cut out of the paper, but on the litle butterfly I used my Martha Stewart punch and punched from a big buttefly on the lace cardstock.
This last one I also used the paper (I'm very into fussy cutting...can you tell?). Also used some Prima Bling, Doodlebug ABC rubons and Paper Studio gems. Cardstock is from Archiver's I believe.

Red and Black Cards

*Will be featured in the February 2009 issue of CARDS.

The black cardstock is Archiver's, red scalloped is from Bazzill, flower rubon is Daisy D's, Thanks is from Rusty Pickle and bling is Paper Studio. Card is 6x6.

Kraft cardstock I believe is Archiver's, red is Bazzill, butterfly rubons are Daisy D's, miss you is Doodlebug, butterfly die cut is from KI Memories paper, black bling is taken from a Prima swirl and white bling is from Paper Studio. This is a mini card at 3 x 3 1/2.

All the cardstock was from the August kit that we received last night at the Archiver's crop.

Thanks Card - Butterflies, Butterflies, Butterflies!

*Removed for publication in Cards January 2009 issue.

I made this yesterday at the crop and this was probably my favorite of the day. I used kraft cardstock, a piece of KI Memories Lace Cardstock (love that stuff!), used a Martha Stewart butterfly punch (this fell in my cart at Michael's yesterday) on some Doodlebug glitter cardstock and added some Darice gems and Doodlebug ABC rubons. Size is 4x8.

Use Your Stash July Challenge - Use Your Stamps!

Using Clearsnap Chestnut Roan (my all-time fave ink) I stamped the turtle onto Scenic Route Asheland Avenue from the Ashville line, added some bling from The Paper Studio and then cut him out. I adhered him to a quote card I cut from Fancy Pants Sweet Spring line - I love those cards! I stamped the Bazzill card base and the Prima flower with a flower from KI Memories Blooms stamp set. I adhered the flower with a pop dot and added bling to center as well. Turtle stamp is from the Kim Hughes Collection of Cornish Heritage Farms. Size is 4x6.

I stamped Hot Off the Press Flight of Fancy butterfly stamps onto embossed swirl Doodlebug paper to add some texture. I then bent the wings slightly and added pop dots for more dimension. The other stamp I used was the sentiment and that is from the Kim Hughes Collection of Cornish Heritage Farms. Paper is Rusty Pickle Pop Star and bling is from The Paper Studio. Size is 5x7

I made these for the July Challenge over at Use Your Stash. The turtle and the sentiment stamp I got in a RAK (along with some other cool goodies) from Kim Hughes. Be sure to check out her blog. Her stamps are so adorable and I see that she is coming out with a cool paper line as well. I wish I had one teaspoon of her talent!

I've already got some other ideas for that turtle floating around in my head including a card that says - You're a Hero in a Half Shell!

Thank You Card

On my 3rd afternoon off I accomplished nothing besides taking a nap..oops! OK I did work on getting some product info/instructions for some items I need to send out to a couple mags, but I did nothing that involved glue. We've also been gone every night this week with kids stuff, so I've had a small window of creating available and the nap snuck up on me!

On my last day before rejoining the working world (BIG YUCK!) I did make a few things. One was for a challenge at Use Your Stash to make cards with scraps and ABC stickers on them. Mine is made with Bazzill Cardstock, Die Cuts With a View and KI Memories papers and Doodlebug ABC stickers. I also used the asterisks as centers on some of the flowers.
