Halloween Swing Card

 I have oodles and oodles of Halloween cards to create.  The only thing is that I don't like do assembly line creating.  So after a little prodding from a dear friend, I decided to try a swing card.  My first ever.  Naturally that means there are some extra score lines but luckily only I (and now you) know that they aren't supposed to be there.

My supplies...

Yeah! Completed!! Only I found the sentiment I was going to use would have been only half seen. So I made a last minute switch.

In the middle of swinging 

Swing completed.

I'm rather pleased with the turnout. Hope you are too.

Sketch N Stash Challenge 69

I love card sketches.  I haven't been doing any scrapbooking or cardmaking since January.  I thought it would be fairly easy to jump back into it but alas, not so much.  That's why I love sketches.  It takes some of the work away.


I used this sketch over at Sketch N Stash.  I used my new-ish printed paper and pearls for this challenge.





Here is my take on the sketch...

Paper: The Paper Studio, American Crafts (Simply Chich); Stamp: Studio 112; Pearls: The Paper Studio; Pencils: Prisma


I also include this card in Incy Wincy Challenge 109 (Pearls and Diamonds)


Until next time...

After a long, long hiatus, I am finally back.  Finished up my accounting degree so now I have tons of time while I look for that perfect job.    My first card is a thank you card for a wonderful person.

Back to school...

...unfortunately means little time to craft.  Sigh.  It wasn't like I've been secretly creating and not sharing, I haven't; but, it would've been nice to have a little longer between semesters this time.  I need to get my mojo working so I can create with the little amount of time I do have.  Maybe someone can send me some of their mojo.  Anyone? Anyone?

Thank you card

I've sort of been working on this card for 2 weeks.  I had picked out the image was had it colored but couldn't seem to decide what kind of format I wanted it to belong to.  Then I came across the sketch at Card Positioning Systems.

I made this card for my sister's in-laws who were kind enough to invite me to stay with them for my nephew's baptism.

I submit this card for the following challenges:
Card Positioning Systems sketch #193
Crazy Challenge CCH #41 Thank you
Kaboodle Doodles #44 Recipe challenge
Fresh Brewed Designs #23 Show off you style


Until next time...

Halloween catch-up

Okay,  I managed to fit in one more Halloween card and then I'll move on to Thanksgiving cards.  The fact the there are three weeks before the holiday means I should be able to get a slew of them made.


The sketch I used for this card was Sweet Sketch Wednesday's #73.

I used my newest  Gruffies stamp, 'Punkin' Head'.  I grabbed a bunch of white flowers from Hobby Lobby.  I chalked the flowers orange to match the chalking around the stamp image.


I submit my card for the following  challenges...
Drunken Stampers - before copics
Cards For Men - anything goes
House Mouse Challenge 81 - Halloween
Incy Wincy Designs#66 - anything goes

Card Patterns Sketch 88

Well, I figured it's about time to get back in the saddle with my scrapbooking.  Of course this means I have to fit it in between going to school full time and working part time, but I'm trying.  Unfortunately with the little time I do have, I didn't get all the Halloween cards I wanted done.  Ah well.


I used Card Patterns sketch #88 for this card. 

I can't remember where I got the digital image from but I'll do my best to find out.  I certainly want to give credit where credit is due.
