FTL86 - Congrats On Your Little Bundle
Hi everyone! Hope you're having a great Sunday... :) This card was created using the Fall-to Layout #86 sketch Natasha posted on Friday. I wanted to mix things up a bit, so I used rhinestones and stars for the circle elements on the sketch... I was also toying with the idea of using my Corner Chomp on the left corner because I thought that space looked a little lonely, but after staring at it for a few minutes, I decided to leave it as is. :)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Supplies:
Stamps - Star Prints, Signature Greetings
Paper - Hawaiian Shores, Basic Gray, Stamper's Select White
Ink - Raspberry Fizz, Smokey Shadow
Miscellaneous - Aqua Rhinestones, Star Punch

FTL 86
Here's this week's sketch. I designed it a few days ago. Thursday came around and I hadn't made my sample yet. I actually haven't done much of anything in the creative department this week. I made it my goal to get it done. I have to say, I ended up being so inspired, I made two! I used circles, feel free to use flowers, butterflies, hearts, stars, or anything else! For my circles, I used the 4 smallest circle nestabilities, as well as a 1/2'' circle punch and a 3/4'' circle punch. My circle placement deviated a bit from the sketch. The idea is to have around six elements that overlap in a vertical line.
Here's my first card, why yes, I am still on a Haiku kick. (I wish I could've made that into a Haiku, ha!) I just love the So Saffron, Tango Tangerine, More Mustard, and Old Olive colour combination! This paper may have retired a year ago, but I think it's still pretty fresh!
Since I had all sorts of patterned paper out and about, I put together another card. This time I used Urban Oasis. It was nice to bring out the Baja Breeze again! I quite like this paper's colour combination too!
Supplies: Stamps: Women of Life (PTI) Ink: Bamboo Leaves, Ocean Tides Paper: So Saffron, White, Tangerine Tango, Haiku DSP, Smokey Shadow, Baja Breeze, Urban Oasis DSP Accessories, etc.: various circle dies and punches
As always, feel free to provide a link to your project here!

Eighty Five
Here's my card based on the sketch directly. I used the colours in the Haiku paper as my inspiration. Now that it's available at a clearance price, I ordered 5 packs... so I feel like I can use more of my stash. This was one of my all time favorite paper packs!
The second card is basically a copy of Carrie's card using some different colours. Once again I used the colours from the Thoroughly Modern paper as a starting point. I ended up substituting Soft Suede with Basic Grey, and Bermuda Bay with Taken with Teal. I am still a little mournful towards losing Taken with Teal. Considering turquoise is such an in colour this year and Bermuda Bay isn't sticking around, I was a little taken aback at that particular decision! Oh well, hopefully there will still be some paper around for my upcoming stamp club order!
For the ribbon and bow, I wrapped a piece of double sided tape around where I intended to place the bow. I gathered it in so it would look like the bow actually originated from that point. I made the bow on my plastic canvas version of the bow-easy, then stuck it on. So much easier than figuring out the right lengths and worrying about which way the bow ends up!
Supplies:
Stamps: Paradise, Fifth Avenue Floral (Stampin' Up!), Signature Greetings (PTI)
Ink: More Mustard, So Saffron, Old Olive, Orangerie, Taken with Teal, Rose Red, Basic Grey
Paper: White, Basic Grey, Tangerine Tango, Thoroughly Modern, Haiku
Accessories, etc.: Teal Satin ribbon, So Saffron grosgrain, scallop edge punch

Ten Minute Saturday
I do have a ten minute (really it was less) card for you though! Using Dot Spot, Birthday Basics, and few Memento inks, I had a card ready in a snap!
I've also grouped the sketches, up to FTL 81 in four documents. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to actually export a 4-page document with the software I have. Hopefully this is an acceptable alternative! *Amendment* Due to the awesomeness of others in the crafting community, Amy has grouped these into a single .pdf. Woot! It should be here soon. If that doesn't work, you can also try here.
