WSC49 Simple Wedding

Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge

Short on time today. Lots to do before I head out with the kids this evening to YC, my first time ever. I'm really looking forward to the speakers, in particular John Bevere. I'm sure worship with all the bands willl be great too. Been a long time since I've been to any sort of major concert. After three days of YC my body will quickly remind me that I'm no longer 19 or even 29 for that matter. I've gotta save my energy for tonight so it's a quick and easy wedding card for the challenge today. Considering it only took half an hour to make, it turned out quite well. Sometimes simple is best.

A Birthday Card for Marco

Thursday's SCS challenge for ways to use it is to create a masculine card. Marco's birthday card that I've been working on fits the bill.
Mickey was cut and embossed with the Mickey Cuttlebug Die and Embossing folder in Basic Black. I then cut and embossed his face in Blush Blossom. His face was cut out of the Black diecut and the Blush Blossom was placed in behind. I then colored his nose, lips and eyes with markers. Mickey's pants were also cut and embossed in Real Red and then glued onto the Black diecut.
As were his shoes and buttons.
The Tempting Turquoise cardstock is an 8 1/2 x 11 folded in half.

A Birthday Invitation!!!

Last week, I received this card from my cousin, Lisa. It is an invitation to her son Marco's first birthday. Marco fell in love with Mickey on their recent trip to Disneyland. The party is going to be a Mickey theme. As you can tell from the picture he's a really happy little guy, always smiling.

WSC48

Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #48.

I thought that the friendly flowers set would be a great set to own. I've found that it's been quite challenging to create a card with this set and wanted to rename it Not So Friendly Flowers. I've tried on a couple of occasions and was quite disappointed. Beate's sketch this weekend may have just made it possible. Beate's challenges have been great in stirring up my creativity. Check out her blog here

I started by making my own designer paper with all three flower images. The dots around the tempting turquoise were made with the fine point of the chocolate chip marker and the piercing tool template. The chocolate ribbon goes all the way around the turquoise cardstock and comes out underneath the punched out flower and through it.

Stamps: Friendly Flowers
