8/24 Another Card Challenge

i{heart}2stamp posted another sketch challenge...so here is my version. I'm happy with how it turned out.

All supplies are CTMH except for the ribbon and the stickles. Paper used is Perfect Day available September 1st and the stamp set is Friendship Blessings.

Another Card- from sketch

well, I was surfing the Blogs I enjoy and came across a challenge that was due today...unfortunately I can't find the challenge now to enter my card...bummer for me...but thought I'd post it anyway. They provided the sketch and it was up to me to get creative. Hmmm..with late nights watching the Olympics, not sure how creative I was...but here goes...All supplies are CTMH except the flower, brad and twisty tie embellishment. The flower is a leather/suede, and not sure who makes them as they were gifted to me, not in a package, with the brad. the twisty tie is from I-Candee. Paper used: Colonial white, desert sand,crystal blue and honey. Inks: desert sand for distressing and Cranberry. Stamp sets: Heart Throb (December Stamp of the Month, not yet available), and Kindred Spirits.

Can't get Enough of the Olympics

I love watching the summer Olympics...the gymnastics, beach volleyball, swimming and diving. So great that Phelps won 8 Gold medals! Wish we had more gold in gymnastics, but I guess we shouldn't be greedy, when considering sportsmanship, but....

Anyway, as I haven't been able to drag myself away, I haven't done any crafting this week. I shouldn't use that as an excuse as I do have a TV in my scrap room, but not the same as my HD TV upstairs.

Go USA!

Birthday Cards-Scraplifted

OK...so a couple of weeks ago on the CTMH artwork board I saw this card I liked and the poster referenced a Blog she got the idea from...so, this is actually a card idea from the Blog of Pickled Paper Designs, who I think mentioned she had lifted the design from someone else.

I used All Close to My Heart products except for the rub-ons and sticker letters. Supplies: cardstock in Star Spangled Blue, Cranberry, Clover Meadow, white daisy and Bamboo, a retired B&T paper, inks in Star Spangled Blue, Cranberry and Clover Meadow, colonial white waxy flax, accents: brads, spiral clips and eyelets in Cranberry and last but not least, liquid glass (to make the balloons shiny looking)

Hope you enjoy!

Sorry for not posting pictures

My Photoshop Elements isn't working and I can't upload my photos from vacation...so...can't upload artwork either...bummer for me.

I will hopefully have this resolved soon and will update with some pictures.
