Retro Sketch Challenge

Happy Monday Everyone :)

I'm stopping by to share a quick and easy card I made for  a few challenges

And since the holidays are coming faster then I am getting ready for it, I had to start from somewhere. I used the Retro sketch and combined it with the Card Concept call for a crafty Christmas. Simon Says is having a Star challenge this week, which was absolutely perfect for my project :)

The color combo is borrowed from the ColourQ challenge blog.
 Here the inspirations:)

Happy World Card Making Day!!!!

I keep thinking that I should start on my holiday cards, so... I finally did. I created a quick and simple card for Halloween following the Color Throwdown challenge, the sketch from Case this sketch and the inspiration from the Card concept. I decided to go with clean and simple, because it's Halloween- it's simple: Trick or Treat :) And did some stenciling, for fun and to play in the Addicted to CAS challenge

I hope you like it :)

Happy Birthday Danny

I made a card for my little nephew, who's obviously turning 7. Yes, I had to double check with my sister! I'm one of those Aunts ;)

I got a quick inspiration from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge using their sketch. And since Simon Says has a fun little challenge involving transportation I had to add some helicopters. And to make it a little more fun and to add some background I followed the lead of the Gals over at Addicted to Cas and used stencil (well, a drywall mesh to be more specific)

Simon Says-Transport It

Less is More

Trying something completely different here. Totally and absolutely out of my comfort zone, but here it is-as simple as it can get.

I started by combining 3 challenges in one.
CASology are  trying the chocolate flavor, Less is more are focusing on Mostly Words and Colour Q as always offered the delicious colour recipe.

And That' s the final design. Of course I'm trying not to add a button, twine, ribbon and at least one enamel dot. So far-I haven't. But I wouldn't be surprised if I wake up in the middle of the night and do it :)

I grabbed the color palette over at the Colour me! Challenge blog

Colour me Playful :)

 I did! Lots of things going on-I have flowers, and buttons and twine, and let's not forget the pearl stickers (or as my boyfriend  calls them- lentils). I went all crazy, but Boy I had fun with it!

Blog Hop challenge

It's time for another Blog hop Challenge over at the Papertrey Ink Blog. Beautiful picture, giving so much to the the creative imagination. I made it quick and simple ( that's usually a struggle for me so I'm trying really hard not to add tons of things to a project). The layout got inspired by the sketch from this weeks's Cas(e) this sketch! challenge. 

So combining this color recipe and this simple but challenging sketch resulted in the above  card :)

Labor day challenge

Happy labor day to all  :)

Since its a LABOR day and I have to go to work,  I felt like I have to celebrate a little somehow.  So here it is- a thank you card to express my gratitude that I have a job so I can support my crazy obsession with paper,  stamps,  ribbons and buttons (especially buttons)

I  started with the amazing inspiration from As you see it. They added a twist- a 10 min creation.  OK,  I'm game :) but really, it took me 13 and it's only because I spent too much time removing the washi tape of my fingers and trying to glue it to where it belong, the card that is. I am probably the most glue-challenged person :( Also I grabbed the sketch idea over at The retro Sketch and you already saw the final result

TGIF

TGIF! Also known as it was about time to find some time to do laundry ;) And in a  mean time create a new card for some challenges out there

I found this AMAZING inspirational picture over at the Card Concept blog
and immediately fell in love with it. I just had to make something so I can play with them. I came up with something that probably will fall under the category of Clean and simple, even though I'd like to think of it as Cute and Whimsical. Here it is. White card base, green piece of cardstock, another white piece with some cute stamping, add a sentiment, add butterflies (of course!) and that's that. Oh, and lets not forget to take a picture of it in the messiest corner of the house :)

Aside from the inspirational photo I used the Sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch and The color palette over at The Color Throwdown
