Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge 88

Here's a great sketch that I thought would be quick and fun to do.

We have another great sketch designed by our own Mischief Maker, Renee Lynch.  Feel free to turn or flip the sketch - just use the basic principals of this sketch in your design.  Set your mojo free and go with the flow.

Well, quick turned into a bit longer than I thought.  I get these images of what I want to try and do in my head, but it just doesn't come out on paper that way.  So, I tried to go with something simple...yeah ok.  What in my world is ever simple.  This also quite a bit larger than I thought it would be so that I could fit it all in.  Hope you like it.  (P.S. figured I get the Christmas Challenge started, two birds with one card LOL)

I used images from Sewing Box Christmas to stamp on the white PTI cardstock, then stamped the white snowflakes on more Tim Holtz distressed paper.  The diamonds were created using the Frame It 1 die from PTI and popped up with dimensionals.  The sentiment is from Say It Loud Winter (I just love how big the words are).

I'm so glad that I found Waltzingmouse through a friend, I really love the products.

Till next time....it's in the 60's here so it's hard to keep thinking about Christmas.  Who would have thought in Mid March it would feel like May weather in upstate NY.  Hope it's nice out wherever you may be!

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #2

Ok so it's really sketch challenge #86.  For me it's only the second one.  I think it took me about 4 hours to make this card....who knew you'd get so wrapped up in this!!  I think it came out fairly cute, but not always sure I have the creative juices to make it look right.  Oh well, at least it's fun right?

I bought a magazine recently had a free stamp set with it.  I just couldn't resist using the mouse and stamping his shirt with a pattern from Nordic Winter.  I also colored him in with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

Till next time!

My First Challenge Sketch

Ok, it took quite some time, but I thought what the heck let me try my hand at a sketch challenge.  This first challenge probably took me two hours to complete, but I'm ok with how it turned out.  I found the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge at a friends blog and have been hooked on that site along with her blog.

Here's the challenge sketch this week:

Check out this fun sketch provided to us from our sketch coordinator, Anya Schrier.  Feel free to turn or flip the sketch, make a shaped card, or just use this shape in or another similar shape in the center of your project - just use the basic principals of this sketch in your design.  Set your mojo free and go with the flow.

So here's my first attempt.  Feel free to let me know what you think!!

Supplies Used:

PTI Raspberry Fizz paper, Tim Holtz distressed paper in blue, American Goods paper, Stampin Up Glitter Paper in Red,
Waltzingmouse Stamps:  Say It Loud Winter, Sewing Box Christmas
Cricut Heart Cut Out, Ribbon from Walmart, Red Pearls

I started out thinking Spring and then switched back to Valentines.  I loved the squiggles on this paper and layered it onto the Raspberry Fizz paper.  I then used the heart from Sewing Box Christmas and stamped with versamark black.   I then stamped Warm hugs onto a strip of Raspberry Fizz paper (3/4" wide)  and placed it on the blue card stock (1 1/2" wide) using dimensionals.  I thought it needed some more pizazz and added red pearls to the center of the hearts.  The heat is cutout with a Cricut cartridge and the ribbon run through it and tied into a bow.

Hope I can find the time to complete a challenge at least once a month if not more.  Now that the cold and snow have hit I might just be able to do it. 



Santa Ornaments

Used the PTI traiange die to create this little guy.  Looking for a quick and easy gift to give.  Let me know what you think!

Grandmas Birthday Card

Here is my Grandma's birthday card.  Hope she likes it. 

I used PTI sentiment, paper, layerz mat stacks and flower stamp.  Martha Steward embossing poweder and stampin up silhouettes stamp.  This is probably the quickest card I have created yet!.  I am really loving everything I've gotten from PTI so far!

Second Card made for my son's birthday

I have fallen in love with PTI stamps and just love cupcakes.  Trying to come up with layouts for the cupcakes was tougher than I thought. 

I gave this card to my son for his birthday who decided to re-gift it...I bet you'll never guess to whom!  Oh well, at least he's creative.

First Attempt

Here is my first attempt at a card after the online class.  I used a technique (not the right supplies) from the class.  I thought I could do more than I have in the last month or so....It takes me forever to get creative.

The stamps are from PTI and the paper is Tim Holtz.
