Sweet Sunday #29

Ok, so I saw Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch and decided I just had to play. Loved it. Then I started making this card and I did all sorts of crazy rule bending things. That's what I like about sketches though....

I turned the sketch on the side and used an oval panel rather than a square one. I also moved the sentiment lower on the card. I am really pleased how this card came together. Can't wait to see what everyone else does!

Sweet Sunday Sketch

Apparently I am not the only one to have issues with automatic posts when I went on vacation. Karen over at the Sweetest Thing also had some problems,which is why the sketch was not posted until tonight.

I haven't posted in a couple days because the little guy was sick again (it's been a bad month). Thankfully my mother was able to come over and take care of him so that my husband and I could still go to work. And of course Jack loves his Grandma...

For this card I just wanted to put something together that was simple (and a Birthday card of course). The sketch lended itself to that beautifully. I love the paper line "offbeat" from Basic Grey.

Hope you all have a great week!

Sweet Sunday

Another Sunday coming to a close. I am really enjoying playing along with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch. I put the baby to bed, and then come down and relax in my fab scrap room with some tunes or the t.v. on. This week's sketch was a little difficult at first, since there were two circles. But then I had to remind myself that the sketch is only a guide. So this is what I came up with.

I love the series of boy quotes from Cloud 9. I use them all the time it seems! The cards with those sentiments always tend to be a little shabby chic, which isn't my typical style, but I just go with the flow. Hope everyone has a great week!

Supplies:

Patterned Paper: Fancy Pants, The Paper Wardrobe, random scraps (green)

Sweet Sunday Sketch

Sometimes I see a sketch and the card makes itself! This card was one of those times. I had all my Amy Butler papers spread out from yesterday, and I still had some of the purses from a sticker set I had gotten 50% off at Archiver's. It took maybe 10 minutes to put together...love that! It was very fun to punch out a bunch of squares and arrange them on the front of this card; I'll have to keep this sketch in mind to use up scraps in the future!

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #19

I had been seeing these great sketches on Rochelle and Sarah-Jane's blogs; the Sweet Sunday Sketch. So this week I decided to play along. Of course this caused some consternation when I saw the sketch because I am not good at placing little doo-dads below my card, and pairing those with a focal image is also not my forte.

So I did my best. I love these fabric brads from Amy Butler and paired them with a retired sentiment from Stampin Up. I love how the blue on the fabric buttons is mirrored in the cardstock on top.

That's my contribution, hope you like it!
