OCC Sketch Challenge

I love Saturday...no alarm clocks and a nice slow pace to start off what will likely end up as a pretty full day!! Not only that, it's time for another challenge over at Our Creative Corner and this week Robin Willis gave us a very cool sketch to play with! If you decide to play along with us today, make sure you link your creation on the OCC blog as Jennifer Meyer is generously giving away another $20 Gift Certificate from Stamps and Smiles! How awesome is that?!

I decided to use this fabulous Sophie from the April Release from Hanna Stamps. I absolutely LOVE this Bittersweet line from Basic Grey and I think Sophie deserves to have the gorgeous paper as her background! The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!. I used my Coluzzle for the ovals as I wanted a few mats and I only have one Nesties Oval set. She needed a little bling as well...don't we all!!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Just in case I don't make it back here tomorrow...Happy Mother's Day to all my Mommy friends!!!

Stamps ~ CTMH- sentiment, MHSFY- main image
Paper ~ Bella Rose dp, pirhouette pink, riding hood red, watercolor paper
Ink ~ Staz-On
Accessories~ Oval punches, corner rounder, ribbon, eyelets, ww crayons, aquapainter

Namaste! MFT, OCC, SFYTT Challenge!

So! I decided to get another card done today before I head out of town for my daughters Ballet Competition! I've been wanting to play with the Serenity Now set since I got it a few weeks ago and decided to seize the day! I also checked out the HTDT thread and saw that Michele gave a great tutorial on watercoloring this week for the WUW Challenge! On the 20th of every month, MFT has as a Celebrate MFT Challenge where you just make a card with one of your fave MFT sets and although I didn't find the time to play that day...I still wanted to celebrate!! And if that wasn't enough inspiration to get me goin'...I decided play in today's OCC challenge again and use another one of my fave color combos! Oh but WAIT!!! There's one more challenge here...Jen Del Muro's Sketch For You To Try! What a great sketch (again) this week!!





My sister's co-worker is returning soon from getting her Certified Yoga training in California (I think)! I thought she could get all the gals at the office to sign this and give it to her as a little 'welcome back' card!!

Thanks to Silke, Jen, and Michele and Joanne over at MFT for all their inspiration today...you practically created this card fr me!! Lol!!
I'd love to hear what you think so please, if you have the time, leave a comment!! Thanks for stoppin' in for some Stamps 'n' Coffee!!

Supplies
Stamps ~ MFT-Serenity Now
Paper ~ K & Co DP, kiwi, teal, watercolor paper

OCC April Sketch Challenge

Good Morning!! It's Saturday and you know what that means...time for another OCC Challenge!! This week Silke Ledlow gave us an awesome sketch challenge to work with which you can find over on the blog!!! And if that's not enough to get you playing along...Jessica Knutsen from There She Goes has so generously offered to give away one of her new Stamp sets for a prize this week! Tweeterpated is a really great, versatile set that can be used for Easter, Spring, or pretty much anytime of year! Thansk Jessica!

Here is my challenge card!



This is such a great sketch...I just love all the different elements! The long rectangle is perfect for any of those long characters or flourishy-flowery stamps! I decided to go with one of my much loved She's All That gals from Stampin' Up! I used a Sizzix flower die for my circle element and layered it on black to make it stand out! The paper is both sides of a sheet of My Mind's Eye dp paired with some Gable Green and Black! The image and sentiment are stamped with Versamark and embossed with black ep. Everything is on dimensionals so by the time I got the main panel I had to layer them THREE times to overlap the flower...this card is popped UP!!! Lol!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today and remember to head over to the OCC Blog to see all of the other AMAZING creations the team came up with!!

I hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful Easter weekend!!
