Hi everyone!! I am finally getting things unpacked and organized in my scrapbook room, but I *think* there may be a stray box or two in the garage with some of my crafting supplies in them. Hopefully I can get most of everything unpacked in the next few days so that I can get back to crafting when I want to. ;)
I was able to pull together this card for Poppy Sketch #9 that is up today......
The sponsor for this sketch/challenge is Jane's Doodles. I love this fun little stamp set that I got to work with...it is called Nuts about You. The colors for this challenge are Violet, Seashell Pink, and Gold. The woodgrain is stamped in the Violet color (purple shades don't photograph well for me). I added the cute little heart image to the otter by cutting around the arm with a blade and then gluing the heart in the slit. Here is a closer look at my card.....
For the Gold, I stamped the leaves with embossing ink and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I finished off the card with a bit of Gold Shimmer bakers twine from The Twinery.
I just love this sketch!! Hop on over and join us at Poppy Sketches for this great challenge and then don't forget to check out the other FABULOUS cards by the other design team members.
Have a great day!!

Hello and welcome back for peek of my card for the new Poppy Sketch that is up today. The sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear's Stamps and I got to use the Crocus and Butterfly image by Delicious Doodles on my card today.
I printed and colored in the image with my Prismacolor pencils. The pop of color for this sketch is the Summer Green, Sunshine, and Noir. I added some SRM Stickers in the frame for a sentiment. Take a closer look.....

Hey everyone!! I don't know about you, but I am happy to have summer here, finally. I am not a fan of when it gets really hot, but I love to be able to do lots of summer activities, like hiking, fishing, camping, picnics, wearing sandals, and going to the beach....just like on this card I made with the newest Poppy Sketches challenge that starts today.
I used my Cricut to cut out the flip-flops and my Cuttlebug to add the Swiss Dots and D'vine Swirls embossing. The sentiment and stitching are SRM Stickers. I added some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, too. Here is a closer look at my card.
The touch of glitter on the flip-flops is Stickles glitter glue and I also added a bit of Solid Honeydew bakers twine from The Twinery under the sentiment.
Did you know that there is a fun twist with every sketch challenge over on the Poppy Sketches blog? Can you tell what the twist is by looking at my card? Here is the challenge photo to help you see it:

Hello!! I am excited to share my card today using Poppy Sketch #5. We go to design with files from The Cutting Cafe for this challenge and I just ADORE the fun camera images I was sent, including this fun Polaroid.
I cut this camera image with my Silhouette Cameo machine and then assembled it....I really love the fun look of the lens with all the layered circles. On the top circle and the viewfinder, I added some glossy accents to make it appear as glass. The white photo frame around the camera is also from the set and cut with my Silhouette Cameo. Take a closer look.......
For the banner at the bottom, I just cut some diamonds on my Silhouette Cameo and then used my Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots embossing folder to emboss it.
Here is a peek at the sketch challenge with a POP of color that you will find over at the Poppy Sketches blog:

Hello and welcome back to my blog as I share another fun card with the latest Poppy Sketch #3.
The sponsor for this sketch is Lawn Fawn and I love the fun stamp set that I received to work with for this sketch. It is called Birthday Tags.
I stamped the banners on a purple cardstock and then cut them out and adhered them to my card base. The tag is stamped on white cardstock and I also stamped the sentiment and cupcake on the tag and added some color to them with my Copic markers.
To finish off my card, I added some stitching on the patterned paper piece with my sewing machine and then some of the Lilac bakers twine from The Twinery....and a bit on the triangle paper clip on the edge. Take a look at the sketch and colors for this challenge.....
Hop on over to the Poppy Sketches blog to join us for this super fun challenge and a chance to win some Lawn Fawn goodies!!

Hello and welcome!! Today I am sharing a card that I created for Poppy Sketch #2 that just went up today. I am so glad to see that many of you participated in the last Poppy Sketch....I hope that you will also find time to join us for the second one as well.
I got to work with some fun stamps from Stampendous! Here is my take on the sketch with a POP of color added for the challenge........
I stamped the image in London Fog ink from Memento. I added some pencil coloring to the silverware in the middle of the image and also a little bit of Copic to the little pepper in the bottom corner. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the white and red cardstock for added texture. I finished off the image with some brads and some stitched ribbon.
Take a look at the sketch from Laura for this challenge......
I hope you can hop on over to the Poppy Sketches blog to join us for this fab challenge....I can't wait to see what you create.

Hello and welcome!! Today I am sharing a card that I made with Poppy Sketch #1. If you didn't know yet, Laura Davis (formerly of 2Sketches4You) is staring up a new sketch challenge blog called Poppy Sketches. This first challenge is sponsored by Starving Artistamps and they sent me this fab bicycle image from the Exterior Elements set to create a card with. Check it out.....
I colored the image with my Copic markers and then added a few white pen accents. I cut it out and mounted it on the sketch image that I tipped sideways. Did you notice another fun element of the challenge, there is a pop of color for each card. This card uses the colors Peony Pink, Blush, and Tangerine. Take a closer look at the card......
To finish off my card, I used some SRM Stickers and a little bit of bakers twine from The Twinery.
