Kazan's Sketch 36


Greetings! Here is another fun card sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. I love having the chance to concentrate on the layout of my cards vs. the product and their challenges allow you to do just that.
On this card, I have used the new Jenni Bowlin papers which I love so very much. They are VINTAGE to the max! I have also used stamps and sentiment from Unity Stamps. I love altering the look of buttons. Buttons can be easily altered by simple adding some Diamond Glaze or Glossy Accents on the back of the button and cutting around the edge of your paper of choice. Hope you enjoy!

Unity Challenge Week 2


Greetings! It's a new week and that means a new challenge at Splitcoast for the Unity Bachelor Challenge. This week: create a card using one piece of pattern paper, glitter (sparkle) and two buttons, (Unity Stamps only).
So I used more papers from Nana's Kitchen (DCWV) and my trusty EK Success punch and of course, my Copic markers. Added some glitters and I'm done. Her is what I created. Enjoy!

Laura's Sketch 35


Greetings! My post today features another sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. I have really enjoyed participating in challenges. It makes me think outside the box. My cards just start to look different and it keeps the ball a-rollin'.
For this challenge, I used Unity Stamps from the August KOM (camera and sentiment). I also incorporated papers from the Abbey Road collection from MME. When I first saw the papers, I knew I had to have them. I love all the signage.
Coloring was done with my Copic markers and I added the arrow with my Quickutz and border punch form EK Success. The ticket is from Tim Holtz. Hope you enjoy!

Greetings! Quick post today. I love the new line form Making Memories called Vintage Findings! It has so many cute little items to add to your creations. Today I want to show you the pill box tin I altered. I used a pill box from the Vintage Findings collection as well as papers from Basic Grey(Indian Summer). The tiny label is also from the MM collection. Too fun! The mini mints are from the Smalltoids tin I purchased. They need to be tiny! Enjoy.

Unity Bachelor Challenge Week 1


Greetings! I love card challenges and Unity Stamps has got a great one starting this week. The challenge was to create a card using the colors black, red and green. The theme had to be based on a first date card. Unity stamps has this challenge continuing for the next several weeks. It is based on the Bachelor Show (hence the name of my post). For more info, click here.
So here is my card using: patterned paper form Cosmo Cricket, EK Success punches, stamps from Unity (KOM August), paper ribbon, distress inks, and my Copic markers.

BTW, I had a fabulous weekend working the Crop Around Town Event at Archiver's. Friday night, we had Little Yellow Bicycle come out and I met Sharon Ann, who was very sweet I might add.
On Saturday, the Our Craft Lounge girlies came out and we had a ton of fun! They provided the customers with some cute projects and coloring with Copics! I had the chance to connect with some people from OCL as well as past Archiver employees. Enjoy!

Greetings! Lots going on in the craft space of late. I have been using all the cool stamps from Unity's KOM. I get excited to stamp just looking at them. My post today features a dragonfly image coupled with the sentiment "follow your heart". Products used: Basic Grey (Junebug), May Arts ribbon and Copic markers. I also utilized my Coluzzle for the circle shape. Hoping I can break free from the Junebug collection soon. I have made at least 6 posts with it. The paper pack is getting smaller and smaller. (That's a good thing, right?) Enjoy!
