Another great sketch for you to try.

This one was created by Nadine for the My Scraps and More Sketch Blog hop!



This was a fun one to play with. I really liked this rustic collection from MME called 
Signature Christmas. 


The brown cardstock is from Recollections. I used Stampin' Up! punches to round my edges of my cardstock, punch the circle and the bottom snowflake. The top snowflake is a Martha Stewart punch. The twine is from my stash. My bling is from Daiso. 

Now on to the next card challenge!

It's a card making kind of day.

Today, I plan to create some of my fall and Christmas cards from the card sketches that the DT at My Scraps and More Sketches created.  Here is the sketch created by Tracy F


...and here is my take on her sketch.



 My papers are MME from the Dear Santa collection and my ribbon is from a bag of ribbon that someone sent to me. My punch is from Stampin' Up!.

Happy World Card Making Day!

So much inspiration can be found on the web today. Be sure to check out my side bar for challenges and manufactures giveaways. My Scraps and More Sketches is having a card blog hop this weekend. Each of the DT has created a cards sketch for us to complete. Just think, you can get a head start on your Fall and Christmas cards this weekend. For my first card, I decided to play with Wendi 's sketch



I made this cute Halloween card using some MME Blackbird papers . I fussy cut the witch and Franky and popped them up with some Pop Up Dots and then added some gold stars. This was a fast and easy sketch to work with.

This was a hard one to scrap.

It's hard to sometimes scrap old photo of the people out of your pass. This is my ex with his grandfather. I wanted to include this layout in my son's album so he can see what his Great Grandfather and his parents looked liked way back in time. I do believe that History is important, even though we are not always proud of  our choices. With that said, Shirley created this great sketch for all of us to scrap with.




My papers: Stampin' up!
Sickers: From the dollar store years ago
Felt Ribbon: Recollections
Yarn: Bernat

Another great sketch site.

This is Shirley's September sketch. I am so glad that I found her blog. It was a great one to play with.


I combined two different Simple Stories collection to complete my layout. I fussy cut the Hooray, pinwheels and starts. The bling inside the stars were my dollar bin find at Michael's.

Fall fun!

Part of the fun of fall for me is decorating my house with the season. In October, all the spooks and Jack o lanterns come out and November, it's all about the rich color of autumn and the bird.  So today, I decided to play in the StuckOnUSketches Geometric Shape challenge. The shape that I decided to go with is the triangle. I used a SVGCuts file called Party on Elm Street. It was super easy to cut and assemble. The most time consuming is picking out the fun papers to cut.


Cardstock: black and yellow is AC Cardstock
Paper: My Mind's Eye (Spiderweb)
Bling: Darcey
