enjoying this month's sketches so far! We have another 

great card sketch to finish up the month for y'all!

April 20th card sketch:

My take on the sketch:

For this card I used Skylark paper from Close To My heart.

I embossed the back panel with a Darice folder. Both of the 

blue ribbons are from Michaels. The sentiment is from Verve. I stamped 

it in Chocolate ink. The frame that the sentiment is in is a card

from the Skylark Picture My Life.

CTMH Timberline and Viva la Verve

Good evening crafty friends! Hope y'alls weeks are off

to a great start! I had a short day at work today 

so I was able to come home and take a little nap then

do a little bit of crafting! I wanted to share a card I made

following the April week two sketch from Viva la Verve.

For this card I used the paper pack Timberline from

Close To My Heart. I really like this paper pack! Love the

masculine colors and the great patterns! My sentiment

is from a Verve stamp set. The Exclusive Ink colors I used were

Twilight and Chocolate. I also added some of the wooden

pieces from the Timberline Assortment.

Viva la Verve and other Verve challenges

Good afternoon my crafty friends! Hope y'all weeks are

off to a great start! I wanted to share a few cards I made over

the weekend. For the first card I used the Viva la Verve

April week 1 sketch. I also used the Verve Diva Inspirations Hop

photo challenge. This challenge was "Chevron Chic" I really

decided to challenge myself and use as much as I could

from the photo. 

For this card I used chevron paper from Close To My Heart's

Paper Fundamentals and wood grain paper from Fancy Pants.

The leaf stamp and die are from Verve. The sentiment

is CTMH Joyful Birthday. I used exclusive inks in Crystal Blue,

and Champagne. I sponged the doily with the Crystal Blue.

The flower is from Michaels and the ribbon is black seam binding.

My second card is for the Verve April Diva Dare. This month's

dare is titled "Little Things" so it has to be baby or

child themed, also using a Verve product. I used paper from

Michael's, button and twine from my stash. The lace

ribbon is from HobLob. I also used Nestabilities lacey circle as

well as large and small circles. The sentiment and banner dies are Verve.

The ink is Stazon Timber.

Sketch N Scrap card #23

Good morning Sketch N Scrap fans! And a very happy Saturday!

We had a lot of fabulous entries for our sketches last

month! Can't wait to see what y'all come up with this month!

Here is our first sketch for the month; it is due April 30th:

Here is my take on the sketch:

I used the Close To My Heart paper pack called Ariana.

It's one of my absolute favorites! The stamps and dies I used

are from Verve stamps. I used Exclusive Inks in Sweet Leaf, Hollyhock,

Outdoor Denim, and Crystal Blue. I added a Flamingo Dot

as the center of my flower.

Sketch N Scrap is turning 2 next month!

Be on the look-out for many awesome challenges!

CTMH ProPlayer and Viva la Verve

Evening crafty friends! Hope y'all are having a great week

so far! I got off work at a decent time today so

just hanging out and hoping the weather doesn't get bad.

We are so close to getting our new house and are hoping that

any tornadoes stay away until then because it has

a storm cellar and our current home does not...

Anyways on a brighter note, I created this Father's Day

card using Close To My Heart's paper pack ProPlayer.

 I used one of the March sketches from Viva la Verve.

 I have a craft fair coming next weekend and thought I could use

a few more unique father's day cards. I used the 

stamp set Tech Speak as well as a Verve stamp set. 

I used the Exclusive Ink colors Pacifica and Black. I also added

a gray badge from the ProPlayer Assortment.
