Sketch Girl SG11

Today gives us the latest sketch challenge from Sketch Girl.  Sponsor this sketch is Perfect Presentation and you could win a free template by playing along.  Go to the Sketch Girl blog and link your creation for your chance to win. 

Here's my take on the sketch.  I stamped the circle elements on some already rustic/distressed looking October Afternoon text pattern paper and popped the main panel up so it would stand out.  I couldn't make a rustic card without twine so I wrapped it around the main panel.

Don't forget to see what the other Sketch Girls have done with this sketch along with our Guest Designer, Laurel.

Have a wonderful day!

What can you do with a box?

You could package up some assorted gifts...

Squared (cube, rectangle and cube one sheet version)

Give a friend a cupcake...

Hey Cupcake with cupcake insert

The top of this box does not need ribbon to stay closed, I added it for decoration only.

How about some handmade cards, stationery or whatever you can fit in here...

It's a Keeper with 3x3 note holder

Or how about a Cute Carton full of goodies..

Cute Carton (large version and small one sheet version)

Reminds me of the small milk cartons you get in school.

.

All these templates are available today in The Wild Flower Patch Shop with dimensions and additional information.  For you Silhouette and Cricut users with SCAL, I'll have versions for your cutters very soon (GSD & SVG). I'm almost finished with those file types and will get them in the store. 

Those of you without electronic cutters, make sure you choose the PDF version of the template.

Don't forget to visit the Perfect Presentation design team:

Rebecca Jensen is showing Cute Carton.

Kerri Michaud is showing Hey Cupcake.

and

Harriet Hensley is joining us this round and showing It's a Keeper.

Have a wonderful Friday!

Greeting Farm CHA relay

I am participating in The Greeting Farm's CHA relay this week and since they are getting so much activity on their website, it keeps crashing.  So, here's my card for today using Wild Sprout Charlottte.  She's funky and I love her!  I went with a clean and simple card (might be too clean and simple upon reflection) and I wanted Charlotte to shine since she's all blinged out. 

I used new paper from Bo Bunny--I am smitten with the new stuff from Bo Bunny. It's all gorgeous.

Here's my card using yesterday's image Mer-Ian.  I uploaded him to the TGF gallery yesterday to comply with the relay rules and thought I'd show him here too.  I like elements of this card but overall...it's ok.  I am really not good when I try to put a bunch of layers on a card.  It got me through to the next round though and he's cute.  I made the circular text in Adobe Illustrator and printed it and then cut it with my circle nestabilities.

A little Yummy...

Happy Monday! Thought I'd drop in for a bit and give you a peek at one of my new Perfect Presentation designs that will be available on Friday. It's called Hey, Cupcake and I'll have more info on release day along with samples from the design team. I was able to cut this one with my Cricut, so you SCAL users will be happy!  I hope you will check back soon!

It's Monday and I've got some Papertrey cards to show you

I double checked and it is for sure Monday.  I have been known to lose track of what day it is if there is any deviation in our school/work schedule. I showed up with my daughter at her girl scout meeting one time and was surprised that we were the first to arrive and after sitting there for 10 minutes or so wondering if the meeting had been cancelled, I realized it was Wednesday and the meeting is on Thursday. I get all confused. LOL

It's feast or famine on my blog these days and right now we're feasting.

I used Papertrey Ink sets Quilter's Sampler and Everyday Button Bits.  The Butterflies are courtest of my MS butterfly punch which I ran through my zyron sticker maker and glittered them. 

I'll have more to show you this week and I have 4 new templates I'm finishing up.  Lots of good stuff ahead!  Thanks for stopping by!

Vampires need love too!

I've been a stamping maniac lately and have several things to show you and thought I'd share this one first.  I created this card for the Stamp Happens sketch challenge.  The prize is the new Zeke & Maddie stamp set from StampInsanity stamps.  You can see the challenge info HERE.  Anyway, you don't have to use a StampInsanity image, but I have some so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

 I  pulled out my Halloween Henry set since Vampires are hot all year round.  This set has sentiments in it that are not specific to Halloween and that's what I love about it!  You can see the set HERE.  The challenge wasn't just a sketch it also has a theme, which is love.

Here's the inside of the card.

The top sentiment comes from the Halloween Henry set and the Happy Valentine's Day is from Stampin' Up.

Speaking of sketch challenges...Have you made your Sketch Girl entry yet???

Sketch Girl SG10

Sketch Girl is back from a nice, long vacation with a sketch #10 drawn by our very own Sketch Girl, Julie. Julie has taken on the task of being my partner in Sketch Girl and I am so thankful to have her!  Without further blabbering, here's my take on the sketch:

I used a SU set called Happiness Always that I got for Christmas from my stamping buddy, Allie.  I thought I'd use one of my new templates (Bag it Up) to make a little gift ensemble.  Pattern paper is Daisy D's and it's been hanging around for awhile and I figured I better use it.  The card and box base are SU's Basic Gray but it looks a little black in the pictures.

I hope you will play along with us on this sketch and make sure you link your creation on the Sketch Girl blog and you may be the winner of a template of your choice from Perfect Presentation!  We also have a new member to the design team, Amber Goble.  You may remember Amber from last fall when she won the guest designer spot.
