One card for today

This card I made by combining two challenges, one for Moxie Fab World and one for My Favorite Things. 

Moxie Fab World's challenge was to use maps.  My Favorite Thing had an awesome sketch to follow. 

The result:

MFTWSC55 and map challenge

I love this sentiment.  Perfect for a little pick-me-up for a friend having a hard day. 

Thanks for looking and have a good night.

Two-fer cards

Today I combined the Inspired by #7 photo inspiration with the Simon Says Sketch Challenge.   I chose the wedding part of the photo (although I would love a pair of those tennis shoes) with the colors--blue, white, and yellow and then threw in the pink for the sweet happiness of a wedding.  The sketch was fun to play with.  I used my blending pen with my ink pads to color the rose so it matches as close as possible. 

The next card is a combination of Just Us Girls #120 and the Splitcoast Stampers sketch challenge #368.  Another fun sketch full of possibilities and an awesome color challenge consisting of pink, red, and white.  Although I could have made a Valentine's card, I elected to make another birthday card.  In a family of seven sibling, six of us have birthdays in March plus we have my parent's wedding anniversary in the same month.  I need the birthday cards.  lol

Skipping Stones Sketch Design card

So far today, this is the only card I made.  I went for the tongue-in-cheek approach with a pun and visual funny for the card.  I made it based on the sketch challenge by Skipping Stones design.  You still have time to enter.  The challenge doesn't end until Monday. 

Inspiration sketch

my card for SSD #111

I thought this was funny.  When I saw the sketch, the first thing I saw was the four circles.   As I went through my stamps, I saw this shoe stamp which is one of my favorites.  That is when the "Just 4 Shoe" (Just for you) hit me and I went with it.  It's kind of goofy, but that's what happens when I make cards while taking Nyquil.  lol

Thanks for looking.

Treasured Moment layout and a card

I made this layout for the Studio Calico Sunday Sketch challenge.  I used my favorite picture of my kids.  We were on a "photo shoot" when the kids found this tree that they thought was so cool.  They started goofing around and I continued to shoot.  After coming home, I found this little gem.  It captured each child's personality so completely all at the exact moment!  When I saw the sketch, I knew this was the photo I wanted to highlight.

My layout based on the sketch:  

My card is for the Blockhead's Out of the Box Diecut challenge.  This was a new technique for me which means I had to try it right away.  lol  It was a lot easier than I anticipated and I will use it in the future. 

 Thanks for looking!

Unscripted Sketch 141

This card is for Unscripted Sketch 141.   It's a nice sketch with lots of possibilities.  I flipped it to get a horizontal placement which is what I wanted for this card. 

My card

I didn't care for it until I added the ribbon,  That was the perfect touch to complete it.
