TGIF 98 Sketch Challenge

PHEW!!!! TGIF Is right! This week has been a doozy with the wind, kids, and just life in general! We are going to spend the weekend catching up on the daunting task of laundry, cleaning and trying to get some domestic chores accomplished! Not to mention Troy is working and on call!

Today I am designing with TGIF Challenges. We have a fun sketch for all of you to play along with. My kind of came together on accident. It was a purposeful accident but when I made this card it really wasn't going to be for today's challenge. Thanks to Jeanna I saved it for today!

My Card has a shabby chic essence to it. I stamped the Writing Notes at an angle onto the Very Vanilla card stock. I distressed the edges with a sponge dauber in Sahara Sand along the edges as well. My Copper doily was created by using Versamark on the doily then using our Copper Stampin' Emboss powder. I layered this behind the Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper frame I made using the Layering Squares Dies. My simple stitched square from the Stitched Shapes framelits was first stamped using the set Awesomely Artistic in the Mint Macaron ink. My "Thank You" sentiment in Sahara Sand with the Mint Macaron frame are from the Rose Wonder stamp set and were the perfect touch tto this card! I embellished this card with the Very Vanilla Lace  Trim, Linen Thread and a few Basic Pearls.

Thank You so much for stopping by! This is a fun sketch that I know you all will enjoy. 

Until next time!

Paper Craft Crew 215 Fall into Fall

Good Morning! The week is just speeding on by! I will be crazy busy preparing for the craft fair the next few weeks so if I seem like I am not typing much that is why!

This week with the Paper Craft Crew we have a great fall theme! We just recently lost a community member and I saw it as an opportunity to make a card I wouldn't normally make!

I sponged the circle using Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze ink on to Very Vanilla card stock. I did a Copper heat embossed tree line using my stencil from the circle. The sentiment is from the Rose Wonder set and stamped with Soft Suede Ink. I then matted this onto the Cajun Craze with a linen thread and copper bow. It really looks great with the Soft Suede Card Stock!

Thank You so much for stopping in! I can't wait to see you all participate!
