Ok you can probably already tell I've had more time on my hands this weekend with taking the week off and so have been a scrapping maniac! I had so much fun with the card sketches I found that I've done a second one. Starting playing with some Dream Street papers (trying my best to work through some of my stash before all the new goodies hit the store!!) I cannot believe the amount of "stash" I have here and for the most part I still love it as much now as when I bought it although I have a box half full of papers to give away that I know I'll never use! But meantime here's another tak on t he Card Patterns sketch this week.




And since I still had plenty of Dream Street in this line and I love the colors (which happen to be perfect for Valentine's goodies), I decided I would make another card for the cardpositioningsystems sketch this week as well.



Thanks for dropping by!

Happy WEEKEND Everyone! I decided to do a couple of Card sketch sites today on my time off and here's the results!

Today I went over the Card Patterns and found this great sketch - playing here with some Fancy Pants and made this for my take of the sketch! Taking this week off (needed it) - haven't had any time this entire summer off. So I'm going to scrap for a few days and then I'm off to Kim's for a few days. Jason is going with me so should be fun. Brandy's still up here until this weekend and then everyone had to come home and get back to life as it is normally - school, work and all that!


Then I went to CPS for their sketch and started playing with some 3 Bugs and came up with this card. Loved this sketch and think I'll doing another one like this! Will post later if I do it!




Then since I loved this paper once I got started with it and for some reason suddenly feel the urge to use up an entire line at a time, I made this card as well as this page of my great-nephew, Brayden.



And then just because I loved this Fancy Pants paper and there were still some scraps laying here on my desk I made this little card.

Thanks for looking!

Well I loved this sketch at cardpositioning systems and here's the card I did for it. Thanks for looking! Been at a two day seminar for my CCRN (Critical Care RN) certification. Now I have to study like crazy and take the test which is really hard.

A real scrappy weekend here - just what I needed! I'm actually caught up for the month now! Got two Pebbles pages done (will have to wait to show them off until they are up on the Pebbles blog though), did this little card for IAAS last week and then did the layout and the little card with the elephant on it for core'dinations.


This card I did for IAAS with their awesome kit - well actually this one was just a combo of some of the goodies I've collected from several of the last kit. Lynn always includes so many embellishments it's a challenge to use them up!


I did this card from papers in IAAS kit this month using the Card Patterns #27 pattern for my guide. Love their card patterns - and have loved playing along the last couple of weeks - great inspiration!



I woke up Friday morning with this page in my head. I love this picture of my great-niece, Hailey, going down the slip n slide and somehow this just popped in my head. Now getting the beach ball done was alot more challenging than I thought it would be - especially since I embossed and sanded each piece separately. Needless to say I wasted a few sheets of paper putting it on the wrong side to work - cutting out the wrong cutout but it finally came together and then all I had to do was stitch it down. The slip n slide I did using a crimper - love that tool.


I saw this saying and it seemed to be perfect for a friend's card. The embossing was from a Fiskars embossing plate. I've found these work better on the core'dinations papers if you put them embossing plate to right side of the core'dinations paper - then run them through the cuttlebug and sand. I've been dying to find the perfect card to use this particular embossing plate on - looks like elephant hide right? Thanks for coming by!

CORE'DINATIONS ROCKS!!!

Just go check out the core'dinations blog!!! Look there at the new releases - I CANNOT wait. There are going to be a lot of Federal Express guys who may be getting hugs and kisses from the DT when they deliver those to our door and we hear they are on the way now!!! Just wanted to show you the cards and pages I sent for the CHA core'dinations booth last week. The more I play with core'dinations the more in love I am with it! Thanks for peeking! But be sure to check out the blog to see alot more of the work from the other DT members!

YEAH!!!! Maybe the blogger was just down - repeated it and got them all up - YEAH!!! Got three pages done for IAAS but am waiting to Lynn to decide which one she wants for the homepage - then I'll post them. Also did a few cards to submit playing with my core'dinations again. The more I use Core'dinations the more I'm in love with it! There's just so many things to do with it. I was actually beating myself in the head this morning. I know I dreamed a layout with it in my head and of course I didn't get up and then couldn't remember it this morning.

Well great - went to add more pictures to my gallery and managed to delete the entire gallery - will have to get Kim to walk me through it all over again. I could swear I did it exactly the same way last time but obviously not!
