My paper includes whisper white cs and so saffron and bashful blue dsp (both retired designs). I used certainly celery, bashful blue, so saffron and real red markers to color the little sleeper. My punches include the 1 3/4" circle, 2 3/8" scallop circle, word window and modern label. The ribbon is certainly celery and I used a build-a-brad for the center of the bow.

SC27 Sketch Challenge

I did this page of my grandson for the soul-scrappers challenge going on right now. I love sketches and challenges because for me, it provides the hardest part of the project, the layout. With this layout I used a piece of dsp from To The Nines (ret.) I added some cut-outs from my cricut using the cartridge B is for Boy. I got to spend almost 4 weeks with this little guy during the holidays this year and that was my most valued gift. His daddy is in the Marine Corps so I don't get to see him too often. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the weekend.

Purse

I made this purse with one piece of 12 x 12 card stock. All you do is score 2 opposite sides at 2 3/4 and then on the other 2 sides you score at 4 1/2. Reinforce your score lines. Below is a picture of the inside of the purse so you can see how you pinch the sides together to make the inside of the purse.

I use red sticky tape to hold the top portions down and then also on the reinforcement strip at the top of the purse. This piece is 2" by 6 1/2" scored down the middle at 1". I then added a strip of paper at the bottom for decoration with ribbon and a bow. The bow was tied by using a meat fork which always makes the perfect bow. The paper used on this purse is Sweet Slumber (retired). This will be a prize for a winner of one of the games played at my daughter's baby shower at the end of the month. Stay tuned for 2 more projects to donate as prizes.

Birthday Whimsy

For this card I used dsp Junior Varsity along with whisper white, old olive and bashful blue cs. The stamp sets used are Birthday Whimsy (retired) and On Your Birthday. I added a little dazzeling diamonds to the cake that is hard to see in the picture.

In Wilderness 3

Okay, it would appear that I am stuck on using this stamp set. I saw a card similar by Marcia Bolte and just had to try it. I used early espresso and cherry cobbler cs and then stamped the buffalo on fun foam. I used soft suede ink both on the buffalo and the sponging around the top note. The cherry cobbler was embossed with the lattice embossing folder. A simple greeting from teeny tiny wishes finishes it off. Thanks for stopping by.
