Freshly Made Sketches #46

This incredibly adorable owl is from the brand new Paper Smooches set, "Spookalicious." I was taking a PS class at my local stamp store and browsing, they had this set before it was even released online! I had to have it :)

Here is the sketch I used for my card:

So all those buttons? To cover up some clouds I stamped, but didn't like. I think the buttons turned out cute :) They're from PTI. The sentiment I created using the Paper Smooches "Alphadot" set.

The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye, and the Mat Stack is from PTI (Mega #5). The double ended banner die is also from PTI.

The scallop punch is from SU and the cardstock all PTI.

I'm very pleased with the cuteness factor in this card. I'll also enter it into the Guest Designer search for Paper Smooches that just opened up today. One day I am going to get a Guest Designer spot!

Papertrey Ink July 2012 Blog Hop

Hello Friends! I'm glad that I was able to whip together a card last night to join in on this month's Blog Hop Festivities. I am so jealous that I missed all the Stamp-a-Faire fun that I knew I couldn't miss out on today. Here is my card:

These are the colors that were our inspiration for this month's hop:

Everything I used is from PTI except the pearls which are Recollections from Michaels.

Notice the strategically place pearls in the sentiment?? Great for covering up an ink smudge! And you thought I put them there intentionally ;)

Sorry for such a quick post today. I'm actually at work finishing up my post (shhh!!!) so that it can be part of the blog hop. I look forward to checking out everyone's creations later on!

Paper Smooches Sparks: June Trend Watch

I told you I love the new PS farm set! Here's another card created with this simply adorable set:

I'm entering it in to this week's Sparks challenge.

All the patterned papers are from Lillybee Designs. I made the little boy farmer into a girl by adding the pony tails. The hat actually has texture on it, but when I glued it down, some was lost. The red die is from PTI's Sending You. The scalloped oval is Nestabilities.

The fence and grass punches are both from Martha Stewart. The ribbon is PTI and so is the cardstock. The sentiment and little chick also come from the Green Acres PS set.

I don't have a plan for who I'm sending this to, yet, but it sure does make me smile :)

Paper Smooches Sparks

I decided to give the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge another shot and I created this card:

I took the rough texture of the stone, clock, and wall into consideration. I also took the round shape of the clock and its stripes and colors into my card. The black letters on my card are from the black numbers on the clock.

I used this cute little twister and sentiment from PS Eco Friendly. The cardstock behind it is PTI and so is the base of the card. I colored the twister with Copics.

The "hi" is from PTI's lower case alphabet die. Usually the PS sentiment has "hi" already in it, but I wanted the hi to stand out, so I just wiped it off before I stamped so I could use the die cut letters instead. The texture is from a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The twine is from The Twinery. The circle was cut out using a Nestabilities die.

Thanks for stopping by!
