Fab Friday 43

Finally, it’s Friday! Woo-hoo! I had a nice day at work yesterday. My friend and co-worker Danielle and I went out for lunch for the first time ever! We had pizza and a nice chat. It rained here in the morning but cleared up around noon and it’s supposed to be beautiful through the weekend! I came home after work and busted open my rather large box from Stampin’ Up! containing some serious new Catalog goodies! I had a nice fun few crafty hours and then I remembered that it was time to select the blog candy winner! Conveniently Andrew was here so we wrote all 66 names down on pieces of paper and put them into a bowl. He insisted on doing the selection the old fashioned way! I mixed them up really good and he selected one. Drumroll please… and the winner is Karen!! Please click the contact me link above and send me your address so I can mail your new Stamp Set out to you! Thank you all for leaving the comments. It meant more than you can know to read them all. You truly are the best people in the world! In the end I am the real winner!! 🙂

Not only is today a good Friday because it was blog candy day, but it’s also a Fab Friday week! This week we have a fun sketch for you…

Fab Fri 43 6-06-2014

I did manage to mount some of the stamps and unwrap some of the accessories so that’s what I used on my card. The base of the card is Bermuda Bay Card Stock and my background is a piece of Baked Brown Sugar that I embossed with the Tiny Triangles Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The strip across the middle is Crisp Cantaloupe and both the background and the strip are adhered with Fast Fuse Adhesive. The “HEY” is cut out using the new Little Letters Thinlits from Bermuda Bay and each letter is propped onto the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Under that, I stamped the other part of my greeting from the And Many More Stamp Set in Bermuda Bay. The three arrows on the right hand side are punched out from Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush with the new What’s Up Punch. To finish off the card, I used a strip of Washi Tape from the Everyday Adventure Project Life Accessory Pack and placed it above my greeting. I love all the geometric shapes on the card and yes, I had a ton of fun with some of my new goodies! I hope you enjoyed my Design Team card for the Fab Friday sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog to see the rest of the designers projects and upload yours to the gallery! Have a Fantastic Friday peeps! 🙂

Freshly Made Sketches 137 & Bonus!

I was hoping that Friday would be a nice easy day but alas that was not meant to be. They are building out he warehouse at work and my department got to move boxes around all day. I haven’t been to the gym in a while but I definitely feel like I went yesterday! It was overcast all day and rained last night. I did go to IHOP with Anthony and Bill for dinner. I haven’t had IHOP in ages. I was good and got the low calories pancake and eggs. I do love  a little breakfast for dinner! I came home and watched a movie and then just relaxed. It was a good way to end a busy day. What do all of you have planned for this long weekend? I’m playing it by ear. 🙂

I have my Freshly Made Sketches sketches card for this week’s challenge for you today. There is also a bonus card at the end of the post! This week’s sketch is given to us by Jen M….

Freshly Made Sketches #137

A very simple sketch so I stayed true to it with my card. The base is Whisper White Card Stock and the background is a piece of Hello Honey that I embossed with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Across the lower part of the card is a piece of Moonlight Designer Series Paper. I love how nicely the embossing folder and the paper go together. My greeting is from the Everyday Occasions Card Making Kit and is stamped in Lost Lagoon. I used the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits to cut it out. It’s backed with some Basic Gray and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Two butterflies that I punched out from Lost Lagoon with the Bitty Butterfly Punch are adhered to the right of the greeting. Simple card with some of my favorite new In-Colors and DSP. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Scroll down a little to see my extra card for you for today. Thank you so much for dropping by, have a great Saturday! 🙂

Paper Craft Crew 93

Apparently either I got the weather wrong or the weather man did! It was another lovely day here yesterday, cooler but beautiful. I think they said the rain was supposed to start sometime today and then again on Friday. Work was nice again today, I usually have a little morning chat with my boss when she comes in and I have come to really enjoy it. When I got home last night I made a card and then went out an ran some errands. I needed to get some lunch for the rest of the week and pick up a new screen protector for my watch. The rest of the evening was quiet, which is always nice.

Today is Wednesday and that means that I’m over on the Paper Craft Crew for our sketch challenge…

PCCCS093 Sketch 5-14-2014

I had a little fun with the sentiment on today’s card and you’ll appreciate it when you see it! My card base is Basic Black Card Stock and the background is a piece of Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper. The tag, lower flag and Love circle are all from the Project Life Everyday Adventure Card Collection and the Accessory Pack. I used the Circles Collection Framelits to cut out a piece of Whisper White to back the love and the two more from Bermuda Bay and Pear Pizzaz. The Friday is from the Project Life Day to Day Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Black. I used the Angled Tag Topper Punch on the journaling card and trimmed a little off the bottom. An Essentials Wooden Elements triangle is at the top. I also cut out a piece of adhesive cork sheet with the Circles Collection Framelits and slipped it behind the tag. All of the elements are adhered to the card and each other with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the nice bright colors and patterns in the Project Life set and the way the triangle and cork oppose all of the modern geometric elements. You can also see why I said that I had fun with the greeting, Love Friday, yes I do! LOL! A fun card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge, don’t you think?! Make sure and go over to the blog to check out the other projects from the rest of the design team and enter your card in the gallery so we can see your interpretation of the sketch. Love having you visit with me, thanks! Enjoy your day everyone! 🙂
