Happy Memorial Day to you! Please take a moment to reflect on the wonderful and courage men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. And for those who continue to do so each and every day. Without them we would not be living the way we do today!
This week's sketch is a real easy one and can be used for so many different cards. Here is the sketch..
In honor of Memorial Day I made a quick patriotic card!
Well I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend and the beginning of the summer season--at least around here. Please do not forget the reason for our extra day off tomorrow! The men and women who bravely gave their lives for our freedom!
Here are my top three picks for this week's sketch--in no particular order. Remember that you can click on the links below the images to be taken to the creator's blog and see the details.
Aren't those awesome--all of the samples this week were wonderful--if you have not seen them be sure to check them out.
In order to meet the twist I had to pull out the old retired stamp set Picnic Parade. Such a cute little set, fun to make little scenes with.
Be sure to check out the rest of the team HERE.
Here is my sample to get you going.... I had so many ideas in my head but went in a completely different direction since I wanted to use up some of this retiring paper.
I am not sure what I think of it but it is not the worst thing I have ever seen, lol. At least the Design teams samples ARE fabulous!
They really ROCK don't they??
Well not three but four this week.
This is the second week in a row with light participation--this seems to happen every year around this time. Hopefully it will be better this week. So much going on in all our lives. But we all need a way to relax and stamping it a great answer. Thank you so much to the ladies that played along this week. You all had fabulous cards! I will be right back with the new sketch for this week!
I think it is going to be a good one. I had lots of ideas in my head for it. But I really needed some thank you cards for a Origami Owl Jewelry party I had this weekend. I am having so much fun selling this fun line of jewelry! I can't tell you. It has been great! So I used the logo to make some quick thank yous for the people who attended this weekend's jewelry bar.
The designer paper is from an old Stampin Up kit--and the base of the card and ribbon are Tempting Turquoise. The Origami Owl colors. The sentiment is from the set Lots of Thanks. Now for the rest of the teams samples--they rocked it as usual!
So not to take anything away from this week's top three but we only had three players so it was easy, lol. But I will say--and I know you will agree--they are all worthy! Thanks ladies--I know it is a busy week! Hopefully we will have more players this week.
I flipped the sketch on it's side to make it work for me and my Mother's Day card.
Hard to believe I am still using this set and paper. I think this might be the 10th card I have done with this same stamp set and watercolor wonder paper. I just love how easy it is to use. Did you see my tutorial using these products??? It is here if you are interested HERE.
Be sure to check out the rest of the teams work HERE.
And now my sample. I am trying to use up some papers and colors that will be retiring soon, and I have A LOT of them so I doubt I will be able to but this was a start. I have not touch either sheet of the pretty paper from the Watercolor Wonder paper pack because the images are too pretty to cut up and use small pieces of it so I used a bigger piece and just made it look like two by adding the scallop circle in between.
As usual they all came up with different equally amazing designs. Love these gals!
I loved last week's sketch and I made about 25 cards with it but never did post them--go figure. All of the cards were the same and I never do that but needed a bunch of matching thank yous. Maybe I will post them later in the week. But for now I need to post my top three picks from the sketch.....As always they are in no particular order and you can click on the links below the cards to be taken to the creator's blog and see more details.
