Go To Sketch...

I have been MIA for awhile! I have made a few cards, but I have been "lazy"...I haven't felt like posting. It takes a lot of time to post everyday. (or even just once a week!) I think I will just try to post the cards with the challenge info without all of the ingredients for a short time. Maybe I will feel inclined to post more often!

Here is a few cards I did the first part of this month. It is a "Go to Sketch" from Paper Crafts Magazine January/February, 2012. I really love this sketch! Enjoy...

Fall to Layout #177

I made a couple of cards for the challenge at the Clean & Simple blog.

It was a little challenging for me at first, but turned out to be a great layout. The embossing is what made the difference for me. There was way too much "space" for me. Embossing is a wonderful way to fill the space, but keep the clean & simple aspect of the card. Enjoy...

Supplies: DP-Summer's End (Fancy Pants). Cardstock-Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip (SU). Scallop Circles (SU stash). Embossing Folders (ProvoCraft). Stamp-Mixed Bunch (SU). Dies-Dizzy Doily Duo (MFT). Punches-Build a Bird, Blossom (SU). Sentiments (EAD Designs).

Card Patterns...Sketch #152

Wow...I almost forgot to get my card entered into the Card Patterns challenge in time! I had them done. I just didn't get it posted. Here's the sketch...

Here's my cards. I usually make two cards from every card sketch. I try to use different DP and colors. This gives me two opportunities to accomplish the goal...Sometime one works and one doesn't! I love how both of these turned out. Hope you enjoy...

Teresa's Card Making Day-Part 2...

I hope you don't mind...I decided to split up my post. Blogging is so new to me and I didn't want anyone to think I was rambling on too much! This is the second card I made using the OWH Sketch #108...

Slightly more whimsical in nature, but I love how it turned out! Just shows you how much that can be done with this sketch.

Supplies: DP-Walk in the Park (Echo Park). Cardstock-Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Early Espresso (SU). Image-Feathered Friends (E.A.D. Designs). Die-Woodgrain Fence (MFT). Twine (stash)

Teresa's Card Making Day-Part 1

Here's this week's sketch from OWH. I really enjoyed  this sketch because it has so many possibilities. I actually made two cards and I can see myself using this sketch over and over! Hope you enjoy...

My first card is my hubby's Valentine's Day card. I usually end up buying a card for him, but decided to "jump" right in and make one. Show him that all that money I spend on my hobby is worth it! ;-D

The vine I stamped is actually a Christmas stamp. It is from Great Impressions and I liked what I imagined I could do with it! LOL! Here's the stamp...

As you can see it has several snowflakes on it. I just covered them with my hearts. I'm thinking I can use flowers and other miscellaneous items on this as well.
Supplies: DP-Heart to Heart (Fancy Pants). Cardstock-Whisper White, Basic Gray, Cherry Cobbler (SU). Stamp-Snowflake Swirl Background (Great Impressions). Punches-Heart to Heart, Small Heart (SU)

Happy Birthday Dad...

Here's the card I made for my father-in-law's birthday. He will be 89 on Valentine's Day! We celebrated a few days early by piggin' out at the local pizzeria's buffet...I have been saving calories all week for this splurge!

The sketch is from last year...Sketchy Sunday TG009 by Tiffany Johnson. I love the sketch and it worked well with the card. I don't do many masculine cards, so I needed all the help I could get. He really liked the card!

Here's the inside...Nothing "special", but at least it isn't nekkid!

Supplies: DSP-Wanted (Cosmo Cricket). Cardstock-Crumbcake, More Mustard, Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip (SU). Sentiment-Random Sayings Stickerz (E.A.D. Designs). Die Cuts-Bracket Tab, By the Numbers, By the Letters (MFT)

OWH Sketch #107

Here's my card for this week's OWH Sketch. I used a little "creative license" on this one. Hopefully they won't throw my card out and ban me from the site for changin' things up a little! :-DI actually got out my ProMarkers for this one. I just got them a couple of weeks ago and I have been afraid to try them. Not too bad for the first try. Just don't look too close!

Supplies: DSP-Blossom Soup (Jillibean Soup). CS-Whisper White, Daffodil Delight (SU). Stamp-Pure Innocence Ladybug (MFT). Ribbon (stash). Ink-Tuxedo Black Momento (Tsukineko).
