Cookin' Up Creations Toss Up Thursday Challenge

Here's the Toss Up Thursday Challenge from March 6th on Cookin' Up Creations and my layout.  I hope you like it!  I only used one side of the two-page sketch.

 

Well, until next time...



Freshly Made Sketches #126

I found this site while surfing around and I really like their sketches.  Neat and clean!  I love the examples that were posted, too.  It's called Freshly Made Sketches.  Check them out!  Here's the sketch I used for this anniversary card I made for my nephew and his lovely wife.  I messed it up, though, when I glued it down...  The perfectionist in me wanted to dump it and start over, but I resisted.  I guess I will get to say it's unique, right?  Anyways, here's the sketch I "fashioned" it from and my "unique" card...

 

 

Until next time....

OWH Sketch #215

It is an incredibly beautiful day out today.  We actually got over 50 today and the snow is melting FAST!  It's just a little teaser though, as we're expected to be in the 20's on Wednesday.  I don't mind.  I'll take whatever we can get.

I love this week's Operation Write Home sketch #215!  I tend to gravitate towards sharp, clean lines when I card make and I love matting.  So this sketch is right up my alley.  It's neat and sharp and clean...  Anyway, here's the sketch I used and what I came up with.  I loved it so much that I made 4 cards!

 

 

 

 

 

Well, until next time...

OWH Sketch #214

We're in for another frigid night here in the Northwoods.  Expecting about 25 degrees below zero.  Yikes!  Good night to craft!

I LOVE the Operation Write Home Sketch #214 for today!!  I love the clean lines of it.  I will definitely use this sketch a lot!  This is a terrific sketch for use of scraps, for sure.  That's what I used on these two cards.  I believe the paper was from Paper Wishes.  I used grosgrain ribbon on one and baker's twine on the other.  I just got a bunch of baker's twine from LTD Commodities.  I love the stuff!  It came in just about every color of the rainbow.  Here's what I made tonight...

 

Well, I hope you like them!  Leave me some love!

Until next time...

Cookin' Up Creations Saturday Sketch Challenge

I am truly getting tired of this frigid winter that we're experiencing this year.  We again are under a warning for wind chills and it is expected to be 17 below zero tonight.  It's getting old...  I'm really ready for spring to arrive.

On a bright note...  I am VERY excited to report that our new Golden Retriever puppy was born on Friday, February 21st!  We should be bringing her home sometime around Easter.  Dutchess is going to be a great big sister.  She's been lonely since losing Cedar.

Here's the Cookin' Up Creations Saturday Sketch Challenge for March 1st:

And here's my take on it...

Well, until next time...
