Busy! Busy!

This week has been crazy. I have been making leotards for a dance studio. I have 160 to get done so it will be pretty hectic this next month to try and have them ready by fall. So I am a little late getting my card in for Kazan's sketch 5. It is made with a new stamp that I have been dieing to use from hero arts. Ink from CTMH, then I added the rhinestones in the flowers . The pattern paper I got at Michaels but it didn't have a manufacturer name on the back so I can't give them credit. Ribbon from my stash. The Sticker cutouts are from fiskars. I love the wedding dress and all the detail on it. The congrats stamp is from cloud 9 design. Love all the designs that come from one sketch, it is very addicting.

This week's sketch

Here are 2 more cards one that I did for this week's sketch and the other for a friends baby shower.








The card on the left uses paper from SEI the heart is cut out from QuiKutz the brads are from CTMH stamp is from Heidi Grace. The one on the right uses CTMH cardstock, paper, ink, ribbon and stamps. Flower is from Heidi Swapp, button from my stash. The poem reads :

Bottles, booties, diapers, pins,

this is where the fun begins . . .

Our baby girl is on her way,

Let's celebrate before the big day!

These are the cards that I created for the design team challenge over at 2sketches4you. It was a lot of fun to create but I have decided not to try for the design team at this time. I just have too much going on right now. Maybe I will try for the next challenge.
So this card uses paper from the Paper Studio, rhinestones from my stash, stamps from printworks and stampendous, family treasures daisy punch, and the heart is cut out using coluzzle.

This card uses CTMH cardstock, paper, clip and brad and ink. Ricrac and ribbon Offray (not sure)? Stamps from printworks, and stampendous.

Mexico

So here is one of our latest photos of Chris in the mission field from some of the ruins there. He is doing good and having fun. Him and his companion look pretty stylin' on their p-day don't you think?

2sketches4you card 5

OK so I have been doing a lot of surfing around for card ideas and stumbled upon this site 2sketches4you . So I thought maybe I would share my ideas as well. This card is made with CTMH cardstock, ink, ribbon and fibers. The polka dot pattern paper is SandyLion and the pink oh so sweet pattern paper (the top tag. . it is hard to read but the oval is emphasizing the word "sweet") is Me and My Big Ideas. The eylets are Making memories. And finally the lettering and tags were done with the QuicKutz (except for the top tag that was from coluzzle). I hope you like my ideas, I plan on sharing more!

Updates from the Mission Field

Chris sent us some recent pictures. He looks really sunburned! He didn't put captions with them because he ran out of time but he was telling us how bad it rains there so I am thinking that is what some of them are. And then the others look like ones taken of the landscape from his apartment. Not sure who the girl is???
