FTL 234 Happy Mothers day!!

Hey everyone!! This is my first official time being a contributor on the blog!! I am very honored to be here and look forward to many more sketches!!!

So for my card today I also decided to incorporate the ColorQ 182 challenge. Took me a while to find something that worked and when I saw the sketch I knew it was meant to be!!

The color challenge was to use Always Artichoke, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder from SU!! The stamp I used is from the Wplus9 set mother day bouquet!!

Hope you all have a great Friday and a very happy Easter!!!

FTL234 - Happy Birthday

I wanted to make a birthday card for a friend who loves purple and irises so I used Natasha's sketch and the colors from the Color Queue Challenge (CQC182).  I used Kitchen Sink Stamps to create this 4 step stamped flower.  The butterfly and sentiment are from PaperTrey.

234!

Happy Friday!

I'm sure most people are off today. I managed to get a 4 day weekend! Yippy!

I have a family dinner this afternoon and another one tomorrow. I have to say, for some reason this year, I am missing being a kid and having the easter egg hunt.

I still have a sketch for you though!

Here it is:

Happy Friday!!!

So... bad news... it's still been all wintery this past week. Sigh. We got hit with another large batch of snow on Monday, about half a foot. Doesn't sound like much... but add that to the 140cm we've already had this winter and it's getting quite tiresome! I want spring, and flowers, and lots of sunshine... I think you might catch that vibe in this week's card :)

Just an update on the pdf files. They are coming... eventually. The software I use to compile the sketches is on my PC, which I don't have set up. I'll get to these as soon as I can, hold tight!!

Here's the sketch:

Some measurements:
The card itself is approximately 4.25x4.25. The actual card stock is more like 4.25x8.75. There's about a half inch extra in order to make the top tab.
Next layer is 4x4
The image layer is 2.5x2.5, with a 2-5/8 x2-5/8 frame.


Here's my card. I was quite happy with how it turned out!

Supplies:
Stamps: Summer Silhouettes, It's a Jungle Out There (seriously, the happy birthday greeting is the best font and size!!!)
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, Summer Sunrise
Paper: Kraft, White, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party
Accessories, etc.: Edgers #5, Cover Plate: Circles, Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon Pop Dots, Corner Rounder
