Birthday Card for "Freshly Made Sketches"

Just a quick post to show off a birthday card I made yesterday for Brenna's little friend.  Most of the products I used are from Close to My Heart, but the ink is Distress Ink.  I love this little hedgehog stamp - I definitely need to find more ways to use it! And here's the sketch I used for my inspiration, from Freshly Made Sketches: Now...

Simple Card for CAS(E) this Sketch!

Here is a quick card I made on Sunday for a friend of mine who just purchased her first house.  I thought the "life is good" stamp was a fitting sentiment! I used sketch #149 from CAS(E) this Sketch! blog: Everything came together quite easily.  I used a die cut leaf from my November Counterfeit Kit as a mask, and just sponged some...

New Card for Freshly Made Sketches

I was commissioned to make a thank you card the other day, so I grabbed a sketch (pretty much the only way I can make a card!) and put this one together: I decided to use a grey base for my card because I conveniently had the right size piece of cardstock already on my table - don't you love it when that happens? I have quite the stack of...

June Counterfeit Kit

This month it seems like the ladies from Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog are doing something a little different.  Rather than copying a kit from a kit club, we've been tasked with copying one of the new lines from Basic Grey.  Here's the one I chose: I was really drawn to the bright colours (I think everyone knows how much I love my...

"Trouble" for NSD and Sketch 'n' Scrap

Most people reading this blog probably realize that last Saturday was (inter)National Scrapbook Day, but just in case you didn't, yeah, it is a thing!  I had kind of forgotten about it (I know, bad scrapbooker!) until I started reading my blog roll in the morning, and then shouted out to my family, "It's NSD, I am going to scrapbook ALL.  Day!"...
