DCWV September Stack-a-Holic Sketch Challenge!

Hello! Well, I finally got my DCWV September challenge entry done today- the last day! I knew as soon as I saw the sketch what I wanted to do. I've been waiting for the perfect sketch to use this goofy single picture of my oldest son wearing a fake mustache at our county fair last year! I used the "Guy" paper stack from DCWV.
For the title, circle and the mustache cuts, I used the Billionaire Lite Cricut cartridge & Cricut Essentials on my E2.


Thanks for stopping! Stop back soon, there may be a giveaway coming up shortly! :)

Triplicate Trials Tuesday Blog Hop!!!

Hello! Welcome to the Triplicate Trials Tuesday blog hop! You should have arrived here from Rochelle's blog.

When I first saw this challenge, I instantly thought of doing something "groovy"! :) I decided to use it as inspiration for a tag for my oldest son's back to school treat for when he comes home after the first day (today!). He's 14 and he always jokes that I raised him as a hippie! Perfect!

I first cut the circle images with my Cricut from the Groovy Times cartridge. I made a base from just white cardstock, stamped with the music notes & rounded the corners. The guitar die, banner die & stamps are all from Papertrey Ink.

I wanted to do a guitar in the three challenge colors, so I just used 3 teardrop ink pads to ink up the stamp, starting at the top with the lightest color & working down to red. I love the way it turned out & I know my guitar playing son will think it's pretty cool, too!

I used my project as a "topper" for a tube full of M&M's. Each of the kids will get their own when they get home today from school!

Thanks for stoppin & keep on hoppin!

DCWV August Stack-a-holic Sketch

This is the August DCWV Stack-a-holic sketch challenge! Great sketch and so fun & easy when you have a big stack that all goes together! All of the papers I used are from the DCWV Linen Closet stack & matching cardstock stack. Love that! I just pulled out all the papers I thought I might use from each stack, than went to work! A few added elements from some light colored stamping, circle punches, branch punch, a few buttons, die cutting my title (from the same stack paper) and wala! I'm just gonna finish it up with some hand written journaling on the stamped journal lines and it's goin in the book!

PageMaps Basic Grey & Flourishes Challenge

Hello! I just saw this challenge on the PageMaps blog the other day using a sketch for a card. Well, when I saw Basic Grey on it, of course, I had to jump in!
I stretched out the sketch a bit to make room for my larger main image panel, but besides that it's pretty much by the sketch. I used all Basic Grey products from the Pyrus line.


I first took two labels (the one with the birds & the layer behind) and stamped the sentiment (also from the Pyrus line stamp set) into the birds "bubble", than layered that onto the brown shaped label.
Across the top is some beautiful doily tape (great stuff!). Basically, all the papers are just cut with my trimmer and put on in the pattern of the sketch. I also added those great stitched flower embellishments & 3 brads along the bottom left to balance it out.
Thanks for stopping!

Make It Monday #29 & Lawnscaping #16

For this card I used the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday challenge for this week of freestyle copic coloring as well as the Lawnscaping one-layer challenge.

I used Heart Prints and several colors of pink/red across the heart.

Lawnscaping Challenge #2

Here's my 2nd card for the Lawnscaping one layer challenge:

I love using kraft cardstock in general, but I think with one layer cards it's especially great because it adds a kind of weight and depth.
