When a Non-Plan Comes Together

Posted on March 5, 2017March 4, 2017 by Mama

Yes, I’ve been creative. Yesterday as I finished the sketch challenge card, I got inspired. While I didn’t really care for the design of the challenge card, I did like aspects of it and the colors reminded me of another card I started (but never completed) a couple of weeks ago for a different challenge site.

As I looked at all the papers in my Family Ties paper pad by Pebbles, I noticed that they coordinated with a large stamp I had already colored. In fact, as I started assembling this new design, I was amazed at how cohesive everything looked. I love it when a non-plan comes together! The polka dot paper did come from a different paper collection, but other than that I used my Family Ties. With the addition of some green brads and orange ribbon, this card was complete. . . and I like it better than the inspiration.

Hello Spring from Some Bunny

Posted on March 4, 2017 by Mama

Spring keeps trying to creep into our days here in the Midwest, and my latest Mojo Monday card reflects those feelings. From the cute little bunny and fresh colored paper, everything about this card screams “Hello Spring.”

While I wasn’t crazy about this week’s Mojo Monday sketch, I decided to play along because I had just created the bunny holding an umbrella stamp with my newest Stampendous set from Hobby Lobby. I love this cute little stamp set that lets me mix and match various animals, clothes and accessories. It’s super cute! Anyway, the bunny was the perfect size for this card and the rest just fell in place.

All the decorative paper is from The Family Ties 6×6 paper stack from Pebbles, which was 40 percent off at JoAnn’s this week. Score! I inked all the edges and added some Glimmer Mist to the background for some interest. With the addition of a heart brad and a touch of Stickles on the bunny nose and frog eyes, my card was complete.

Cool Colors and Texture for Sketch Challenge Card

Posted on February 20, 2017 by Mama

I’m spending a lazy, gray Presidents’ Day at home with my son, the Wii and my craft room (not necessarily in that order). We had plans for the zoo, but the drizzle and cool breezes changed our minds on that outing. So instead of enjoying the unusually warm February weather outdoors, I decided to get a jump on this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge (yup, and it’s only Monday). This week’s sketch is a fun, multi-layered design that easily translates into a card with some great texture and colors.

The Sweetest Thing 6×6 paper pack from My Mind’s Eye was the inspiration for this card, and I used four different patterns from that pack. I simply love the colors in this collection! I added some twine and buttons to the design and inked all the edges for a fun card with loads of interest. With a simple stamped sentiment, this cute little thing can be used for many different occasions.
