Sketch #183

YooHoo! Got another sketch done!! I found the papers at Pat Catan's (formerly Crafts 2000) in their clearance section. I surprised to find the Doodlebug 4th of July papers in the clearance but I picked up most of the different designs. I didn't leave much of the papers for others. (Yes, I was a bit of pig but I had ideas for it all!) I loved the bike paper and I had to go into my messy scrapbook room to find the bike/sentiment stamp, which was a Studio G stamp set from Joann's. I used Viva Pearl Pen Ice White for the 3 brads on the sketch. I have plenty of red, white and blue baker's twine that I added to the card. I used VersaMagic Night Sky but it a chalk ink so the sentiment is a bit light but the color matches the paper.

Sketch #182

It has been a busy summer with lots of traveling. I have been to Memphis, TN; southern Indiana for a retreat; 2 trips to hometown; Juneau, AK; Niagara Falls (both sides) and southern Vermont. I have one more trip to go on Nova Scotia with hubby's family. Then it is back to school in the school office.

I did have time between the trips and loading & unloading the suitcase to make a few sketches. Here's #182. I used a 6x6" pad I found on sale in Joann's. It was all birthday papers so the strips for this sketches were part of the paper I cut off to make the base. I made a bunch of cards, alternating the base with the strips. I cut 6 different designed papers. I inked a border design on the sentiment block and the base. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set, I think.

I used We R Memory Keepers Mini 8 border punch. The patterned paper is just an odd piece from the stash and the cardstock is Brazzill papers I got on clearance at Pat Catan's.  I used two rectangles punches too. They are a little big for the card but the sentiment fit. The sentiment is from Good Friends by Hero Arts.

 I used more 6x6" DCWV pad Everyday.

I got two versions of Sketch #119 done today, both birthday cards. The 4 patterned papers are from DCWV Celebrations paper. They have a shiny finish on them, not glitter. I used my EK Tool cupcake large edger punch on these cards. I wanted to use the balloon one but my scrapbook room is such a mess I couldn't find it. And it has been almost 2 months since I have been to Table 7!! So, some of my supplies are still in hiding. The sentiments are from Hero Arts sets. I also used my Marvy scalloped circle punch.

This card is so today as it has rained and thunderstormed all day. Maybe I need  to follow my own card and just float along like Changito by Stampendous. I used care blue paper, a sheet of 8x8" from Colorblok pack, and a blue Studio G ink pad. I didn't get this image colored but I kinda like the uncolored version.
