Sketch 444~ Cheers to that, Number of Years, Sip sip hooray, Stampin Up

I made one more card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Cheers to That

Stampin Up:  Number of years

Stampin Up:  Sip Sip Hooray  

I enjoy making slimline cards.  I had this grand 

idea pop into my head last night about using 

this sketch for a New Year's card. 

I chose gold again. because well I had it on hand.  

and it seemed like the right color 

for a new year's card.  and those little gold 

dots in the background remind me of tiny bubbles,

like perhaps in a drink. 

I like how the olives bring a little color to the card. 

I am not a fan of olives, give me a maraschino cherry 

any day in my drink. 😉 

Hope you will have a "spook-tacular" Halloween. 

and also that the weather is nice by you.  Getting windy

and cold here, just wouldn't be Halloween if 

ya didn't have to "brave" the weather.

Sketch #444~ Perfectly plaid, Holly Jolly wishes, stampin up

How does one take a picture of a slimline card?  

Oh my goodness, perhaps it was the gold paper I 

chose too, that was giving me such trouble. 

In the end I turned off my bright light so no more  

glares.  It gave it a whole new look.  I posted that 

picture lastly.  

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Perfectly Plaid

Stampin Up:  holly Jolly Wishes 

I was going to go for a pumpkin line up, and then 

I said to myself, will I mail it out before Halloween?

and I thought my gosh that is just a couple days away,

so nope.  Go for Christmas.  

So I made a Christmas tree line up.  

My favorite part of this card perhaps is the little stars

on the tree tops and by the sentiment.  Sort of ties

it all together with that DSP.  

How these picture will fit on the instagram or the 

challenge blog is beside me.  I just can't seem to 

take a nice slimline picture.  that's why I usually 

make the smaller slimline, but today I worked 

with the big one.  9¼ x 4.  

I honestly can't believe it's practically Halloween. 

I'm in a fog of doctor appointments and frustration. 

I think it's time to bring out the novels again 

to escape reality.  haha.  Any suggestions for 

a good book?

Sketch #443~ Happy Harvest, Lawn Fawn

I made another card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Stamp set featured in this card is:

Lawn Fawn:  Happy Harvest 

The biggest issue I had in making this card

was the colors to choose.   Especially for 

that little birdie. 

I didn't want to make him a blue bird to match

the bibs on the scarecrow, or make him a red 

bird to make him really pop in color  

So I decided a little sparrow would be grand.

Soft brown/with grays.  and then it all 

muddled together.  Guess it worked in my 

favor this time.  

Well folks the never ending  high blood pressure 

journey.  They put me on a new med that is 

now raising it yet again.  I feel like a lab rat.

ugh.  Just one thing after the other, and no

success.  anyways  I have to Trust the LORD

to help me through this.  Thank you to all 

those praying.    I'm trying to watch my salt 

now too.  And that is a big struggle for me,

since I love salt, ketchup, and bbq sauce

But for my health I'm going to cut back.  

Perhaps God willing that will help me.

Sketch 443~Be Jolly, Snowman Season, Itty Bitty Christmas Card, Stampin up

I made a Christmas card

for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Be Jolly

Stampin Up:   Snowman Season

Stampin Up:  Itty Bitty Christmas 

The colors are quite non-traditional, but I 

think it works well with this snowman today. 

I even colored the gifts to try and 

match that of the DSP. 

I must say I do love that little red bird.  He just 

pops in color and speaks Christmas to me. 

I love traditional colors way better.  

But that's just me.  I'm a bit old fashion perhaps.  

I even colored the top hat.  and didn't make

it black.  (GASP)   I suppose they can be 

any color one chooses. 

Well folks, I worked on a few pencil packets 

for my daughter and son-in-law to pass out 

for Halloween.  They get so many kiddos.  

Last year they were living on the west coast.

So we didn't get the opportunity to give treats. 

It's good to have them back in town again.

FMS507~Be Jolly, Stampin Up

I made this card for the challenge at:

Freshly Made Sketches

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Be Jolly

This is one of those stamp sets that 

I wanted to purchase but didn't want to.  

You see I only like a few of the images in 

this set.  So I went back and forth in my 

mind and the catalog, and finally made the 

decision to purchase it.   

Thank goodness I liked more than just one image, or 

I couldn't have justified purchasing it. 

That candy cane DSP really pops in the color.

Sketch 442 ~ Cutest Halloween, Cauldron Bubble, Stampin up

I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Cutest Halloween

Stampin Up:  Cauldron Bubble 

Oh I had grand plans for this sketch. 

I started building layers of card stock,

using polka dot DSP, and then I realized

If I didn't stop myself the card would be

at least ¼ inch thick.  In paper alone. 

So I started taking apart my card one piece

at a time, and here folks is the finished look. 

Much less busy and better so as not to be 

too distracting even though my little 

spooks are clustered together, at least they

are cute. 

I like the candy corn background it seems to 

keep it all held together very seasonably.

HSSSC374~Clever Cats, Counting Sheep, Stampin Up

I made this card for the challenge at:

Hand Stamped Sentiments

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Clever Cats

Stampin Up:  Counting Sheep (Fence die)

I love that frisky little cat peeking out the 

top of the pumpkin so he could keep his 

eyes on the spider nearby.  

\

Sometimes I wonder why I choose the colors 

I do for my cards.  The fence panel was hard 

to see when I cut it out in the matching brown.

So I sponged white lightly over the top, now

it sort of resembles a cob web look.

"purr-fect"  haha

The pumpkin line up is washi tape,

FUSION - Poppy Door, Pretty Pumpkin, Stampin Up

I made this card for the challenge at:

Fusion

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Pretty Pumpkin 

I used the sketch, and turned it horizontal.  I also

 used brick from the photo.  I sponged in some fall colors. 

This card didn't take the best picture.  Not sure 

why that is.  Perhaps the dark colors.   

But it's quite elegant in person. 

I put clear wink of stella on each of the pumpkins 

for some sparkle.   I love how the gold cord behind

them really bring out the gold on the DSP.
