Card Sketch # 34

 

 

Are you ready for another fun sketch!  This one screams everything fall! 

 

 

And this is my card inspired by the sketch!

 

 

 

Ok, this not necessarily a fall card but my anniversary is in November and this gave me the opportunity to get my card done ahead of time. 

I used all items in my stash.  I spritz red Inkadoo spray paint onto the cardstock then added 3 different washi tapes the two red tapes are from Target and the brown floral is from W R Memory Keepers.  I used a project life card and sponged the edges with Real Red Ink.  The PL card was popped off the Crumb Cake Cardstock.  The red glittered clothes pin was from Michael's (in the $1 Bin!), I created the red heart with Stampin' Up's Red Glitter Cardstock and the heart punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack.

 

I hope this inspired you to create your own card!  If it does upload it to the Sketch N Scrap blog page for a chance to win this month's prize.

 

Card Sketch #33!

 

September is here and kids are back to school!  It also means another month and new sketches!  This first sketch for this month is this lovely one:

After seeing this, I first thought of using scrap pieces of pattern paper, then I thought washi tape, but as I walked into my crafting room I instantly thought of the Stampin' Up's Tape It Stamp Set.

 

The colors used are the new 2014-16 In-Colors: Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey.



The Ribbon and Cardstock and Sentiment is in Blackberry Bliss and the butterfly is a Jenni Bowlin embellishment I have had in my stash for a few years now.

Sketch N Scrap Sketch #32

Is it that time for another amazing sketch? Yes it is!  Here goes Sketch #32 by the Talented Lisa Hidy!

For this sketch, I used all Stampin' Up products and I automatically pictured the Papillion Potpourri  stamp set.  Three butterflies in a row..what can be better! The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banner stamp set and die combo and the banners were created using the Banner Blast Stamp set and punch (that banner punch has made another appearance) I used the colors: Calypso Coral on the cardstock stamp images and twine, Early Espresso for the background block & stamped images, and finally Old Olive for the remaining stamped images.   This combo is very earthy but the pop of Calypso Coral also makes it trendy.

Inspired by Sketch #8

I don't know about you but every year when my kids take school, dance or sports portraits, I take the previous year pictures out of my picture frames and put the new portraits in the frame.  The older portraits are then thrown into a 12x12 Iris storage container.
My currently scrapbooking project is to get all the school, dance and sports portraits out of the storage box and into my scrapbooks.

So when Kelly Holifield asked me to design a layout for the Sketch N Scrap Inspired by Sketch I was absolutely honored!   I already knew the layout would feature one of the portraits that needs to be in my daughters dance scrapbook.

This photo is from my daughters 2013 Nutcracker Performance.  The pattern paper is from Echo Park's Mini Theme line Le Ballet du Grand.  The crepe flower and polka dot banner was created using Maya Road Crepe paper and a large glue dot.  Fabulous title is from Bella Blvd.
The Blue flower is from a retire Stampin' Up paper line.  Flower and journaling spot is from Fancy Pant's Trendsetter line.
