Saturday Sketch Share! (On Sunday!)

Hello!  Sorry about being late this week.  Sometimes that happens on my teaching week.  Yesterday's class had 12 people in it, which is a big class.  It went well I thought and now it is on to working on class samples for the next one.  But for now, I have the share between Debbie and I.  I will show you my card, her card, and the sketch we both used.  Enjoy!

My Card

Debbie's Card

The Sketch

The stamp set I used with these birds was a honey pop set so it had this heart image to stamp on the honeycomb paper.  It really is supposed to go on the inside of the card, but I thought it would make for a fun embellishment.  I put a piece of scor-tape on the side, left the liner on, and added the word "open".  Since Debbie is a fellow stamper, she will "get it"!  As you know, horizontal sketches are hard to find and this one is nice, but that flag panel somewhat limits what image you add in the larger panel.  Debbie's flowers are a good choice!  Love them both!  How about you?

Next, I am doing a post with the quote of the day.  Look for it!

Happy Stamping!

Saturday's Sketch Share! (On a Sunday!)

Hello!  Yes, I am late.  Yesterday, was stamp convention number 2 for the month, and I left the house early.  My stamp convention report is that this year the Stamp Scrap Art Tour convention was better than the Heirloom one, at least for me, I found more to spend my money on at the Stamp Scrap Art one yesterday.  Of course, both conventions I got to see a lot of ex customers, which I love. Also, I have one more "announcement" ... my stamp shack is clean!  Well, not clean, as I have too much stuff to really say clean, but I can see the floor and the top of my desk and other work surfaces!  (At least mostly)!  Yipee!  I am teaching this week, so perfect timing to mess it up again!  No really, for the first couple of weeks, I try to do better about putting things away and cleaning up after every project.  Okay, enough about everything except what you are waiting to see.  I will show you my card, Debbie's card and the sketch we both used.  Enjoy!




My Card



Debbie's Card

The Sketch

As you can see, the sketch is a tall and skinny version, which means our cards are not as wide, only 3 1/2", but this sketch would work great for the A2 size too!  I love the sketch.  You can do windows like I did or square like Debbie did.  So many great possibilities!  Now, yesterday, when I saw Debbie at the show, she said it was too early for me to do a Valentine card.  Really?  I don't think so!  Do you?  Don't you love both cards and the sketch this week?

I am also doing a words of wisdom post today, so look for that one too!

 

Happy Stamping!

Time To Celebrate!

Hello!  I am back with another birthday card for you.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

I am happy to report that for the last two days I have been out in my shack trying to organize, put the holiday stuff away and trying to just get my room in some kind of order so that I can create more easily.  And there is room for my dog to come hang out with me again!  It's not there yet, but I am close. 

See you tomorrow for the Saturday share!
Happy Stamping!

Flowers are God's Way of Smiling!

Hello!  I am back with another birthday card I made for a friend at church. I used a bright pink floral 6 x 6 on a recent Saturday sketch card, you might remember it.  The sketch I picked for my card had similar strips of paper, so I used the same pad.  Love how it came out ... enjoy!

Let's see, the sentiment, which is awesome, is from a set from Inky Antics and the flower, of course, is Verve.  Pretty, don't you think?

See you tomorrow!
Happy Stamping!

Flowers Just for You!

Hello!  Late last month, I got an order for some birthday cards from a friend at church.  I finally got them done last week.  She wanted four.  I made three new ones and added one of the samples from my last year's birthday class.  Because those are perfect for a man or a woman.  I will be showing you one card today, and then one card the next two days.  Here is the first ... enjoy!

 

I love how this one came out.  I used that flower and die set from My Favorite Things again.  This time I matched the paper with my colors instead of coloring them purple, as lilacs are. The sentiment is a clear stamp from my stash, that right now I don't know who made it. 

See you tomorrow!
Happy Stamping!
