Happy Thursday Friends, I don't know about you all but this week is flying by. Spring break just doesn't last long enough. I can actually say that I have 100% enjoyed this week off. Any swaps that I am in I have completed and sent off so I have been able to devote 100% of my creative time to challenges. I love love love challenges. If I ever get into a slump, challenges really help me out.  So, I am now going to share with you a card that I have created for 2 challenges. The first one being a sketch challenge from Sweet Sketch Wednesday . Now this sketch was so much fun!  I dont know if you can tell too well but I used Smooch Pearlized top coat on the flowers to add some sparkle. I love sparkle! Any place I can add it, I will! So, for the 2nd. challenge, It is for 365 Cards  challenge blog and the challenge was to use Embossing and sponging. The houses and the Picket fence are heat embossed in black EP and the sponging is the blue around the top edge of the pa...

Hello Friends, Well here I am, Tuesday and I have actually completed another creation. I had so much fun with this one. I actually completed 2 challenges in one sitting! So the first challenge site, City Crafter challenge Blog , Now this challenge was unique. Each design team member(4 of them) had a supply listed on their blog that you had to use in your creation. Now you didn't have to use all 4 items, You could use only 1 or 2,etc. but you had to use at least 1. The items were, Mist or spray, Embossing of some sort,Pearls and or Circle dies. So, with that being said, I did use all 4. I not only die cut a scallop circle but I also die cut a regular circle in the middle of that scallop one. I also sprayed that circle with a smooch spritz sparkle.   I also used a chevron embossing folder on the circle. So, that leaves the pearls. I used them on not only the butterfly but also in the center of the 3 little flowers. I really had fun with this one. I jus...

Happy Spring Break everyone. I have the whole week off and other than trying to get some "Spring Cleaning" in, I am also trying to get just as much creative time in! This feels so nice to not have anything that I "have" to do this week. It's been a long time since that has happened. So, with that being said, Here I have for you a sketch challenge card that I created for Mojo Monday . I love Mojo's challenges. I always find myself getting lost in the sketch. Lovin it!!!  My color scheme was Oranges,Pinks and Yellows. I think this paper line is from Basic Grey. The "Just Because" stamped image is from Stampin Up! and is stamped in Melon Mambo. I also used some orange bling and used a "Darice" embossing folder on the white scallop piece. I roughed up all of the edges of the paper with my distressor. I was going for that shabby chic look. So, that is pretty much the details of my creation. I hope you all enjoy it and I will be back soon ...
