Some new goodies....

I got a SUPER fun package in the mail last week!  My Simon says order came in and it was a fun one.  I got some new Simon Says stamps and some Dear Lizzy paper.  So I had to put it to work...

I stamped the sentiment on Berry Sorbet cardstock, with Berry Sorbet ink.  Then I used Berry Sorbet Saddle Stitch...it's been awhile since I've tied a bow!  It's all layered on a kraft card base.

The sentiment comes from the new Absolutely Delightful set. This fun floral paper is from THIS dear Lizzy 6x6 pack.  LOVE!

Hope you are all having a great Sunday!  I am dealing with crazy stampers block.  Hoping this card is the first of a few I make today.  Do you have times like this? Where you want to make stuff but can't come up with anything?  I haven't walked in this room much at all lately except to play around with my Cameo or get on the computer.  Hoping I'm back on a creative patch today!  :)

Thanks for coming by!  Have a great day!

Retro Sketches #28

Happy Saturday to everyone!  This is my 2nd post so scroll down to see my Guest Designer post for Cameo Spotlight!  If you have a Cameo...you'll want to play along for sure!

And now on to today's Retro Sketches challenge....we have an adorable sketch from Kasia's original card HERE.  Here is my take on her sketch...

I used some Lawn Fawn paper on the card base and then added in a polaroid with some sparkly vellum behind it.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts and then I added a fun little element from American Crafts, Cabana line.  I added in a little banner tail using a Clear and Simple banner die in Raspberry Fizz card stock. 

Here is this weeks sketch...

IF you check out the Retro Sketches blog today, you can see what Arielle and Kasia have for you.  We also have Wendy joining us this month and she has something adorable to share!

Cameo Spotlight Challenge!

I was recently asked by the sweet Jackie, to be a Guest Designer over at the Cameo Spotlight...Yay!!

How fun!  I was so excited when she told me the challenge details, I rushed to by table...and computer...to make this card...

I bought these shapes while back from the Silhouette site and was so excited to put them to use.  I layered the hexagon card to the card base with foam tape and then added in a little of the sage green color behind.  The butterfly I cut out with black polka dot paper...the dots are a dark gray color...and then layered vellum behind.  Can you believe those antennae?  The Cameo cut out that small detail SO well!  

Here are the challenge details...

It's all about color this time.  You need to use Slate, Beige and Sage in your card.  Black and white are OK to use too!  (I used kraft for the beige color and the dark gray or slate is in the polka dots on the butterfly and I also used Smokey Shadow ink for the sentiment....not totally slate but as close as I could come up with!)

I can't wait to see all the Cameo creations this week!  I know the DT has lots of fun stuff for us to see. Go check it out over at the Cameo blog and then link up your creations.  Thanks for stopping in!

ETA: In my CAS-ual Fridays post, I used a chevron embossing folder and didn't add a link. (Click HERE to see that card) I have had lots of comments and emails about where to get this fabulous folder....click HERE to check it out!

CAS-ual Fridays #69

Wowza!  It's that time again!  Since I saw you last...and why my blog has been kinda quiet...I have been in Colorado visiting my sis.  I had a great time with gorgeous weather and I can't believe it went so fast!  

I am here today with the next challenge card for CAS-ual Fridays.  It's all about embossing...

I just got this amazing Chevron Embossing folder in the mail when I got home.  I LOVE chevron and had to have this!  When I saw it online, I ordered it right away!  I added in some Neon pink grosgrain and some Twinery twine.  I kept it simple by adding a small sentiment in black ink.  

Here is this week's challenge badge..

Stop over to the CAS-ual Blog and see what this week's prize is.  Our fabulous sponsor is Simon Says Stamp.  I think there may be a little Guest Designer spot to check out too!  

Have a great Friday!

Retro Sketches #27

It's Saturday already!  And September first!  Is anybody else losing time?  I can't believe that its going by so fast.  School is in full swing and my kids are getting taller and I wish it would just slow down! :) 

So here we are with another fabulous sketch.  Here is my card for the week...

I used a fun little Silhouette shape for the focal point, along with a sentiment from the latest Verve release.  I layered it on top of some Washi tape.  I simplified a layer in the sketch, adding the chevron detail and the sentiment all in one layer.  Super simple!  

Here is today's sketch...

You must go check out the Retro Sketches blog to see Arielle's and Kasia's cards.  We have a new headliner this month too!  Wendy Fredrick will be hanging out with us.  I can't wait to see her creations!  Please forgive me for not adding links.  I am blogging from my phone this morning.  I will stop back soon and add them in.  

Thanks for coming by today.  Have a great day!
