Wishing comfort and hope - C4G #236

 It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz.  For this challenge, we want you to use at least 3 of these colors... orange, purple, black, and green.  I used orange, black, and green...

My paper is Crate Paper.    My flowers are The Ton Peony Memories Cardmaking. The sentiment is JustRite Sympathy Handwritten Sentiments.  I really like this particular sentiment because it can be for a sympathy card or for someone who received a difficult diagnosis or just an encouragement card. 

We hope you come play along with us at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

hello friend - TMS #778

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  We've got a fun sketch this week!! 

This sketch was so easy, but I made it even easier... I just cut paper. :)  My paper is Carta Bella My Favorite Things.  The patterned panels and the sentiment are all from the pad.  I did fussy cut a couple of butterflies to give a bit of dimension.  Simple but still cute!

Here's the sketch...

with sympathy - TMS #777

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Another challenge, another sketch.  This one is very versatile!  I had several ideas but chose to make a sympathy card...

My paper is the Paper Studio Cape Cod.  I made the waves in the sketch with MFT Stitched Ric Rac.  The image is Delicious Doodles.  The sentiment is Raisin Boat Stunning Silhouettes.  Rather that make a mat for the main panel, I distressed it a bit with a sanding block. 

Here's the sketch...

Happy birthday 2U - C4G #235

Hi!  Thanks for coming by to see my card for our challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!   Here's my birthday card using our theme of circles...

I created my own slimline card base with Kraft.  My paper is AC Dear Lizzy Neapolitan.  The circles are cut with Die-versions Stitched Circles.  My sentiments are the "happy" from a Happy Christmas that was a freebie many years ago, the "birthday" is from Spellbinders Yana's Layered Script Sentiments, and the "2u" are stickers from the same paper pack that I colored to match.  

We'd love to have you come play along with us as you create cards for the galz in your life!  Just click HERE.

Happy birthday - TMS #776

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  It's finally October!  And there is sometimes a little chill in the air... and that means winter is coming... and hopefully, that means snow!!!  :)  Some of you are groaning, but I love snow!  

After all that weather rambling, here is a birthday card... 

I trimmed an A2 card down to make is square.  My paper is DCWV Sunsplashed. I cut the happy letters out of a circle with Poppystamps Marzipan Alphabet. The banner is Spellbinders Ribbon Banners.  "Birthday" is Sweet n Sassy Pennant Party. 

Here' the fun sketch...  (Your card does not have to be a square... remember a shape is just a shape as long as we can recognize the sketch.)

All is calm - TMS #775

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I make Christmas cards all year long for another design team, but as we get into fall, I usually need to make more, so that's what I did for this challenge...

My paper is O Holy Night from Hobby Lobby.  The sentiment/image were cut from the paper, too, using CottageCutz Double Stitched Ovals.  i colored a few adhesive dots to match for the circles in the corner.  

Here's our sketch...

You make my day brighter - C4G #234

 Hi!  Thanks for stopping by.  It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme for this challenge is "use any coloring medium."  I used my alcohol markers... a mix of Copics and Spectrum Noir.  

Here's my card...

This panel came from Honey Bee Stamps with my last order, so I colored it, trimmed it, and added it to a black card base.

happy birthday - TMS #773

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  We've got a super fun sketch this week, and here's my card for this week... 

I started with 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 square card.  My hexagons were cut from the cutting and embossing folder from Sizzix Impresslits Sweet Friend.  My paper (and the fussy cut flower) is Simple Stories simple vintage botanicals.  (Sadly, the last few scraps of it.)  My sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Stamps Script Sentiments.  I added a few adhesive dots as it felt a little too plain.  

Here's our sketch...

sending love - C4G #233

Happy Thursday to you!  It's time once again for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "It's hip to be square!"  We want to see you use squares on your card or make a square card.  Here is mine...

I started by trimming an A2 card to make it square.  I cut a Kraft panel with Spellbinders Postage Stamp and dry embossed it with TH (Sizzix) Air Mail EF.  I inked the edges with ColorBox Cocoa.  My sentiment panel and dotted strip and butterfly were all cut from Simple Stories simple vintage botanicals.  Easy peasey, but fun.
