It's Tuesday

So here is my card for Mercy's Tuesday sketch challenge! I needed a birthday card for a friend/co worker. I decided to go against my usual style and make a more elegant card. Elegant for me anyway!

I borrowed Mercy's idea of embossing the smaller panel. I also decided to use brads for the smaller oval piece.

I forgot to crop... you can see the mess on my desk!! I like how it turned out!!

Thanks for looking!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a snow day tomorrow!!

Mercy's Tuesday Sketches

I happened upon a blog recently and it has quickly become a fave!! Mercy puts out sketch challenges every Tuesday and last night I made a couple of Valentines w/ them. I need a few Valentines cards... one for Marty, 6 for my nephews/niece... I'm partly done:)

Here is Mercy's sketch (MTSC26) and here is my card using Happy Heart Day from SU. I LOVE this card... it combines 2 of my favorite things, elephants and American Crafts paper!

More Cupcake Challenges

Ana issued this sketch challenge... which I didn't really stick to!! I forgot to add the embellishments up top and didn't leave room for the sentiment!

Between my gift card and 20% off I got lots of fun stuff at The Paper Tree yesterday!! I have to run to work but I brought some stuff to play with in case it's quiet tonight!

Cupcake Challenge

Taylor is running a special sketch challenge this week to celebrate 1 year of Friday cupcake sketch challenges. I loved the challenge on Taylor's blog but I didn't have any ovals big enough to work!! So I found another sketch that I loved on Stephanie's blog. Stephanie designed this sketch to help Taylor celebrate...

Here is my version... I love this color combo... but I am also trying to use scraps so this is the paper I had to work with!

Pam and I are off to The Paper Tree... I have to use my Shop Hop Passport! For $5 I got a passport that allows 20% off at 12 different stores in New England. If you get to all the stores by the end of February you are entered in a drawing for a grand prize. I don't think I can make it to all of them but it's fun trying and a great deal!!

Just in Time

Last week my color challenge card didn't make the deadline for Kristina Werner's weekly color challenge. Well this week I made it.. barely!! This card is really simple but I really like it... I think the colors look very fresh together!!

I think I already mentioned how much I LOVE Kristina's blog!! It is a daily must read!

Anyway, I couldn't get a great pic due to lighting... I was practically contorting myself to get this one!!

Feels Like Spring
