Hello

Another card to play along with the Sketchbook Saturday sketch and the W Plus 9 Mood Board, I adore the color combo in the inspiration photo. I used Fresh Cut Florals from W Plus 9 Stamps using the new in colors from SU, sweet color combo! Stayed true to the sketch, keeping it very CAS. I had fun with this sketch and mood board. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, it is a long one for us in the states. Be safe...enjoy!

Mojo Monday/MOJO307-Faith Can Move Mountians

Good morning peeps, I am sharing this weeks Mojo Monday sketch and I have used the sweet colors from Dynamic Duos. I just thought about the embossing option, shucks, I forgot; I would have added that too...teeehehe. Any who, I luv how my card turned out, I did not use the large triangles, I really struggle with those angels. I did use sweet glittery photo corners, they are hard to see but are very cute. I have used the sentiment from the Verve set Let It Be. I also used the sweet(and my favorite) Verve Banner Bundle Dies...I luv these! You can layer them, cut them to make them shorter, and they are perfect for using them in a square fashion...cute, cute, cute! I cannot wait to see what you do with this weeks sketch, it is open for interpretation...enjoy!

Harvest Blessing

A quick card to share playing along with a couple of challenges. I could not miss the opportunity to share a fall card...not sure if you know...but I luv the fall! I have used a pre printed tag that I purchased from one of my favorite Etsy Shops, Creative Visions. Stop by and see all the gorgeous tags she has to offer. I used Tim Holtz words for my sentiment, wrinkled them up a bit, and I added a piece of Tim Holtz washi tape down the side. The washi tape is goods, manufactures, and vintage company prints...perfect! I hope you have a wonderful Friday...enjoy!
