Let's Scrap 7-17-13

It is Wednesday my friends and do you know what that means?  It is time for another Let's Scrap sketch!  This week is a card sketch but you could easily turn it into a scrapbook layout!  Here is a look at sketch 7-17-13

I Love, Love, Love this sketch!  As soon as I saw this I knew that this was going to include some gold stitching, some Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine and bright colors from Amy Tangerine's Sketchbook line!  Here is a look at my card

I ended up using a piece of Dear Lizzy vellum and stamped a birthday sentiment from my April Simon Says Stamp card kit.  I stamped it in VersaMark and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder from Amuse Studio!  I love their gold embossing powder and I think it goes perfect with the splatters of gold color shine and gold stitching!  I just can not get enough of gold these days!!  This week our sponsor is Scrapbook Factory

Pin it Challenge

Hello Friends!  Hope you are having a fabulous day so far!  We are in a bit of a heat wave here in Illinois so I am staying nice in cool in my craft room getting as much crafting done as I can!  I created a card for the Simon Says Stamp Pin It Challenge using my Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit.  I mentioned before how much I am loving this months kit well I actually love them all!  I have never been disappointed with one of my kits!  The price is great and it is jam packed with so much product and a full stamp set!!  Here is a look at my card..

I inked up some of the white cardstock in the kit with two different  stamps from the kit and then cut that out with a banner die from Papertrey Ink.  I used the colors Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, and Island Indigo from Stampin up.  For the cupcake frosting I used Melon Mambo from Stampin Up and Chewing Gum from Jenni Bowlin.  For the cherry on top I used some Hero Arts ink in Punch and then covered with Red Stickles!  I hope you enjoyed my card and that you will join me and link up your project at the  Simon Says Stamp Pin It Challenge!

Let's Scrap 7-10-13

Hello Friends!  Can you believe we are already in the middle of the week!  I have been busy cleaning my crafty space and destashing this week and I have found some great 12x12 papers that I forgot I had!  I have been putting together small kits for myself to scrap and I am going to share with you a layout I did last night with one of my kits!  I used the current sketch from Let's Scrap as my inspiration for my  layout.  Here is a look at the sketch

I created a one page layout and used the left side of this sketch as my inspiration.  The kit I created has a lot of scraps and papers from Heidi Swapp and a piece of 12x12 glitter paper from Close to My Heart.  I also added some color shine and used one of Heidi Swapp's stencils.  The pictures are of my oldest son and I when we lived in California.  Here is a look at my layout

I had a lot of fun creating this layout and my hands were very inky and full of teal paint when I was finished!  I love to get inky!  Thanks so much for stopping today and I hope you join us this week at Let's Scrap and create something fun with this sketch!!  Our sponsor this week is Fab Scraps and they have this fabulous prize for the weekly winner!

Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee

Hello!  Just thought I would share a little bit of one of my favorite songs from The Mamas And The Papas on this Monday morning!  Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for a super cute card share!  My crafty mojo has been in hiding this last week and every time I go down to work on something I draw a blank and end up cleaning and destashing!  So today I found some challenges and a sketch and went to work!  I started out at Heartstring Designs  new community and found the July Gallery Challenge Anything "Summer" Goes and I used this sketch from Retro Sketches 

 



Here is a look at my card..

I created a square card and used papers from the Simple Stories I{HEART}SUMMER collection and a stamp from Simon Says stamp.  Here is a list of a few other challenges I am entering my sweet little card into.
