Cherry Giggle Greetings Card

I almost forgot to post a card today!

Make a Wish Starburst - Retro Sketches

I am on a roll with my cards!!! The sketch I used this time around came from RetroSketches. I love the starburst look so this sketch was perfect! 

I forgot to take photos of how I did the starburst for my card so I will make another card and take photos along the way. Then I will be able to give you a picture tutorial so you can do the same thing on your cards. 

Sorry the photo I current have is a little dark. No matter what I did I couldn't get the Island Indigo look like Island Indigo. If i can get a better photo I will update my post.

I hope you have a great day!

Have a fantastic Thursday!!!

Seasonal Sayings Card and Another Sketch

This stampset was in last years Holiday catalog and I am very glad they carried it over into the 2013-2014 Annual catalog. I got a lot of use out of the Christmas stamp but it was time I used one of the other stamps. I had this sketch pinned on Pinterest and thought I would be able to "whip" up a card. It took some time for me to figure out how to do the bow but I am as happy as I am going to be. I struggle with the new chevron ribbon when it comes to tying it in a bow. If anyone has some ideas I would love to see them!!!

To add a little dimension to the flags I used a sponge and sponged the edges of each flag. It helps them to pop out a little so they don't bled into the background DSP as much.

Thank you Try Stampin' On Tuesday for your sketch!

Sorry the picture isn't as great a quality but when I got home from volunteering at the foodbank tonight the sun had already. This meant I couldn't take my photo outside which usually helps the picture to turn out better. Hopefully I will be able to get some good photos outside tomorrow.

Tag It Birthday Card FMS100

It is time for another sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. They are celebrating their 100th sketch and to honor that this week they are doing their first sketch over again. I love this sketch but it took me a while to make the card work. Surprisingly enough I knew which stamp set I wanted to work with right away but I had to play with the paper for a while to get the card the way I wanted it. 

I am super pleased with how this card turned out and I can't wait to participate in their next sketch. I am setting a goal for my self, here in front of you all. My goal is to participate in at least every other week of Freshly Made Sketches but ideally I would like to participate weekly. Lets see how this goes...

Before I get to my card I would like to tell you about the stamp set I used. Tag It is Stampin' Up!'s Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set this year. This means you can ake a difference in someone's life if you purchase this set. For every Tag It stamp set Stampin' Up sells they donate $3.00 to the Ronald McDonald House Charity. Isn't that fantastic!!! If you would like to help make a difference you can purchase the set in my online store just click the shopping cart on the right side of my blog.
