Crafts for Eternity-SSC #47

Crafts 4 Eternity has given us another wonderful sketch this week that I have turned into a layout. The optional twist was to use buttons, but I could not find any to match so i used bling and flowers. All papers are from the CTMH Key to my Heart kit.

Under construction!

Please bare with me as I am changing my blog template, so I am currently under construction and hope to have my blog pretty again soon!

VCD Group Challenge on PCP/Truly Scrumptious

Over at the PCP VCD group the lovely Jana has given us a challenge to make a Back to School themed project, guess what I had made this cute little set last night that works perfectly. Purse is a small composition notebook that I made using the tutorial at Inking Idaho. Also the challenge on Truly Scrumptious was to make anything but a card, so I thing this cute lil' purse qualifies for that too!

Mutiple challenge card

This card is another cutie using the Aud image and I used the sketch from The Pink Elephant. What a fun sketch and by adding a little bling, this card also works for Rubbernecker's Wacky Wednesday challenge. The challenge over at ABC Challenge was to use C-circles on your project, so my background paper I think qaulifies me for that one-LOL!!!

SCS Sketch #243

Here is my card for the SCS #243 challenge. I again used the super cute Victoria Case Designs Aud image that I just got from SCACD this week (Susana has super fast shipping too). Papers are from Breezy Design (formerly TLC), sentiment is one of those $1 Studio G's, and inks are Cat's Eyes-Wisteria/Robin's Egg. I added a little bling and some ribbon and Ta Da- Super cute card!

Color Dare #31 w/ TDS Winter Lani

Here is a card I made for Color Dare and image I used is Winter Lani from The Digi Shack. I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday with a couple changes. The sentiment is another of those $1 Sudio G stamps and papers are CTMH and DCWV.

TDSC020-Color Combo Challenge

It's Thursday which means another fun challenge over atThe Digi Shack. This week's challenge is a color combo-chocolate, caramel, bronze, and teal. I used an older image Ruff Day for my card, I tried to make dog look a little grimy so looked like he had one of those days.
