Paper Play Sketches 39 - Thank you!

Happy Wednesday!

Okay, so it has been a LOOOOONG time since

I have linked up to another blog's challenge...

I have been so busy with life,

I barely get things done on time

for the Design Teams I'm currently on.

So this is a BIG moment ;)

Anyway, I started up watching some of CardzTV's videos,

another thing I haven't done in quite a long time,

and how can you not be inspired and motivated to create

after watching Mary, right?!?!

Her latest video is for the blog

Paper Play Sketches.

I really liked the simplicity of the sketch

and wanted to give it a go.

So here is a Thank You card I made.

I used CardzTV's "Many Thanks" stamp set

for the sentiment.

The flower is cut from Accent Essentials.

I cut it at 1 1/2 inches with a shadow.

You can't tell in the pic,

but the white paper I used has a

shimmery/glossy finish.

It's a perfect match for the glittery flowers

in the background paper.

A fun little jewel was ideal for

the center of the flower.

My background paper is DCWV and

the middle mat is from My Mind's Eye.

The banner was from my scrap stash.

This card came together super quick

and I really like the clean and simple look to it.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Fall Colors Challenge

Happy Monday!

Welcome to another challenge over at BBTB2!

I have selected the theme of Fall Colors

because I absolutely love these colors together.

I used Celebrate with Flourish for this awesome

Pilgrim hat and just some papers in my stash.

The sentiment is from CardzTV Many Thanks set.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 this week!

Thanks for checkin' in!

BBTB2 - Pumpkins

Happy Monday!

I hope you all survived the Halloween weekend

and Daylight Savings :)

As time continues on, we are looking forward

to Thanksgiving and all things Pumpkin!

So the challenge over at BBTB2 is

to feature a Pumpkin on your Thanksgiving cards.

My favorite pumpkin cut is from Freshly Picked.

I used the flip feature and cut the stem on the other

side of the pumpkin so I could fit the sentiment

in the upper right hand corner.

The background mat is paper from CTMH

and I used Elegant Edges to cut it out.

My pumpkin papers are from Basic Grey.

The jewels are from Darice, and

the sentiment is from CardzTV.

It's a super simple card, but I like how it turned out.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Sketch Challenge

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut
on your project and if it's not obvious,
let us know what cartridge you used.

Now for my project after

combining the two :)

I have never used the pumpkin from Freshly Picked,

so I wanted to give it a try.

I really love the leaf/stem on this cut.

I inked around all the edges with

various colors of ColorBox Chalk Ink.

My paper is from My Mind's Eye and

the pearls are from Recollections.

The sentiment is from CardzTV "Many Thanks" stamp set -

LOVE LOVE LOVE this set!!!

And I stamped it with Frost White Colorbox Pigment Ink

I am also going to enter this in over at

Now on to my Project:

I absolutely LOVE the "Many Thanks" stamp set!!!

It is a beautiful set of thank you sentiments!

I was so excited to use "Merci Beaucoup!" too!

I have a friend who went to France on her LDS Mission

and she has been such a wonderful friend and support to me

that I wanted to make her a card.

I cut the Eiffel Tower from Everyday Pop Up Cards and

the circle and scallop circle were cut from Mini Monograms.

My b/g mat and pink mats come from My Mind's Eye,

the paper I cut the tower out of comes from

Bo Bunny Isabella Collection

and the gray b/g strip comes from ColorBok (Wal-Mart)

Natural Expressions

The flowers are from Prima, and I added

pearls from Recollections to the center.

The silk ribbon was just in my stash.

I did pop up the sentiment and tower with foam tape

and inked around the edges of my mats with

Close To My Heart Slate Ink.

Thanks for hoppin' in!!!
