FM147 - First Time for Everything

This week at The Friday Mashup I had an opportunity to make a sketch. Often I look for sketches to inspire my cards and making a sketch was something new for me. To make things easier I make my card first and then created a sketch.

I love how versatile the sketch is, you can use any shape for your card.

Please join us over at The Friday Mashup. I am looking forward to seeing what you create.

1. Create a project using the sketch above

2. Create a project with Spritzing / Splattering

3. Mash it up and create a project using the Sketch and Spritzing / Splattering

Many Thanks Catalogue CASE

As you will be able to see with my future posts I have been on a roll with my creations. 

I found inspiration from Stampin' Up!'s catalogues. Up until a little while ago I have only used the catalogues to see the items they have for sale. Now I have been flipping through the catalogues look at the cards and finding out how I can take the layouts they used and spin it to use the supplies I already have. 

These cards are CASED from a card in the current Catalogue on page 36. 

Using the photopolymer stamp set made making this card super easy!!!

Pendant Notes Card Set

Another late post, but better late than never.

Over the last few days I have been organizing and cleaning my house. There were some rooms that have been neglected for quite some time and were calling to be organized. One which was my craft room. I have found a lot of items which I forgot I had. 

I picked these gems up from the clearance rack a few years ago and never did anything with them. I cannot wait to make more card sets similar to these. They are perfect for a small gift for someone and very easy to create.

Have a look at Stampin' Up's clearance rack. They have some great kits on sale, although they are not the same as these cards they make creating very simple.

What a fantastic challenge we have over at Friday Mashup this week. I love the colour combination they challenged us to use!!! I will certainly be using this colour combo again!!!

This weeks challenge was to:
1. Use the colours, Real Red, Gumball Green, Bermuda Bay and Crumb Cake
2. Add some Glimmer/Shimmer/Bling to your project
3. Mash It Up and do both!!!

I used last weeks sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. 

I love how it turned out but with all the layers Canada Post might want to charge me extra to ship!!!
