Sweet Sketch Wednesday

So sorry for the lack of posts this week I have been sick with a head cold since last week and just really want to get rid of this but it is just not letting go.

Ok so I guess I will stop crying and tell you a little about my card it is Sweet Sketch Wednesday #21 wow where has the time gone. For this week we also have a color challenge and I thought this Basic Grey paper was a s close as I could get to the color I am soo not good at color challenges but it did not come out to bad. I used these fun flowers from Unity KOTM October and for something different I added brads to the center of the flowers did some faux stitching added some ribbon and it's done.

UBBRO 5

This card and envelope I did for the Unity Bro Challenge week 5. I was not going to do it since I don't have a chance in the world to win this thing but I didn't want to give up since I have done all the previous ones. The challenge was to use something around the house and since I have a ton of cardboard I thought it would be great to use it up on my cards I just peeled the first layer off but first I used my top note die to cute it out then once I had the first layer off I thought it would be neat to ink it up with my fresh snow ink. Another thing that I used was some kitchen twine to tie my bow I also wanted to use one of the first monthly kits that Unity came out with. I also thought it would be nice to recycle the packaging that the stamps come in I thought the envelope would be nice for pictures or whatever you could fit in it. The DP is from October Afternoon Road Map. TFL!!!

FWF Friday

Happy Friday to everyone I have a couple of projects to share with you. The first one is a notecard box I did four cards to go in this cute little box that I purchased at Walmart for less than a dollar you can't beat that. The stamps I used are from the Unity Kit Simple Blessings the words in this set are huge so I cut them down so I could use them a little easier. The Dp is from Scibble Scrabble which can be purchased at Paper Maniac along with the Unity Kit. For my second creation I used October store kit also from Unity there are some amazing stamps in this kit including a few Christmas. I paper pieced the coffee cups with Jenni Bowlin Papers used my Labels spellbinders dies which I totally love and such a great invesment and then I thought that I would add some embossing. TFL!!!!

The Cutting Cafe projects

Today I am sharing a card set using the Cutting Cafe Happy Thanksgiving Day Huge Circle word set. This is such a good set for those Thanksgiving projects and invites. I thought that my Recollections Collection was perfect for these cards. Make sure to check out the Cutting Cafe Regina has added some great Christmas Printable Stamp Sets.

The Dp is Niki Sivils the sentiment is imaginisce. Make sure to check out the other DT there are some fab cards over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!!!
