Good morning, time for another sketch! I've seen lots of fun projects that make use of banners, so I thought I'd incorporate one into this week's sketch.

Here's my card. I was in the mood for using fruit stamps, don't know why, so that's what I used. In order to make the banner shape, I traced a square block, nothing high tech or fancy over here.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Fruitful, Women of Life, Polka Dot Basics II
• Ink: Real Red, Dark Chocolate, Ripe Avocado
• Paper: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Ripe Avocado, White
• Accessories, etc.: Eyelet die, Pop dots

FTL148 A Laugh Is A Smile

Happy Monday everyone....  it's a cool wet day here in Calgary, perfect for spending at my crafting table with a few movies and my paper crafting supplies. If only I could manage to tear myself away from blog surfing and Facebook LOL!  I just finished watching the end of "Easy A" and am moving on to "Going The Distance" once I'm done this blog post.

This was a quick and easy sketch for me, once I figured out what colours I wanted to use.  I picked up the new Stampin' Up! colours from my demonstrator friend the other day and decided to use them in this card...

Items Used:
*Cardstock:  PTI White; Stampin' Up! Pool Party, Island Indigo, Chocolate Chip
*Images:  There She Goes Flowers of Happiness
*Ink:  Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip
*Tools:  Big Shot; Spellbinders Nestabilities


I can't wait to see what you come up with when you play along with this great sketch!

FTL148 Rhubarb in the Pool

I took a little liberty with the sketch this time - I moved the main image to the left side and put the sentiment at the bottom right.  I really like this sketch - it focuses on the main image - very versatile - just change the image and the papers!
Supplies: Stamps - Sweet 'N Sassy Digi; Paper - PaperTrey, Echo Park; Ink - Printer Ink; Misc - Nestabilities, Spica Glitter Pens, Copic Markers, Ribbon

Good morning, time for another sketch! I guess I've been on a bit of a circle kick. Like last week's sketch this one features circles, but in a slightly different way.

Here's the sketch:

Here's my take on it. It's didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped. I meant to adhere the circles not so close to the edge, but once they were down, there was no moving them.

Supplies:

Stamps: Background Basics: Twinkle, Star Prints

Paper: White, Tangerine Tango, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise

Ink: Black, Tempting Turquoise

Accessories, etc.: star punch, 1-3/4 circle punch, ribbon
