Atlantic Hearts Sketch #163

Good morning crafty friends and happy Friday! Anyone doing anything exciting this

weekend? I don't think we have anything planned, but my dad and sisters are

sponsors at our church's children's camp this weekend so I bet little man and I will

probably venture out to hangout with my mom. She gets bored when the rest

of her household is gone. Anyways I have a card to share with y'all this morning that

I made following the current sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

As You See It #104

Good morning crafty friends! I have some exciting news!! I have been asked to be on the

Design Team over at As You See It!! AYSI is a super fun weekly challenge blog that posts

a new challenge (usually a sketch) every Friday with projects being due by Wednesday

evening! I am so happy to be playing along with this new challenge!It definitely made

me have to think outside the box, but I love to be challenged once in a while! 

For the new challenge, you must use all of these items on your project, but for

instance, like me, I din't have anything "pool party" so I just used a similar color.

For my card I cut out circles for my negative space out of my patterned Ombre paper,

then having that negative space filled with paper close to the Pool Party color, and

putting a little slate ribbon with a knot and finishing up with a sentiment and other details:

Sketch N Scrap card #52

Good morning crafty friends and happy Monday! I don't know about y'all but

I might just have a very busy week! Through Thursday at least and

then I have a 4 day weekend! We have some surgeons out this week but we

also have a lot of other employees out so it makes it a little harder for

those of us still working. I'm hoping some doctors will decide that this is a 

good week so buy us lunch! lol! They do that sometimes. Well before I head out,

 I wanted to share I card I made following sketch #52 from Sketch N Scrap.

Today is my daddy's birthday! I think we are doing birthday dinner instead of lunch

since he is going with my little sister to her golf tournament. Today is

also going to be the first day for me to sing in the choir at church! I had been

wanting to join choir for some time but wasn't always off work early

enough on Wednesdays to make it to practice, but now it looks like I will be

able to be off early enough from now on! Before I head out this morning

I wanted to share a card I made last night following the week 4 sketch from

Sketch N Scrap card #51

Good morning crafty friends! I hope y'all are having a great week!

It is almost Friday! Whoop! Anyone have any big weekend plans? We are

supposed to go watch the OKC Dodgers play on Saturday evening.

My work is doing a little employee appreciation thing. It should be fun!

We were supposed to go with some friends a few weeks back but

it was stormy tornado weather so we figured it best to stay home. They game

only went to the top of the sixth before they had to quit anyways.

I have a card I wanted to share this morning before I head off to work.

Mojo Monday #400!!!

Good evening crafty friends! I sure hope y'all have had a great Monday!

I can't complain about mine! I worked with my favorite surgeon,

was off work by 3:30, got a chance to sit down and make a card, and still

have some time to chill before heading off to Bible study!

So this week over at Mojo Monday there is a big celebration for the 

400th sketch! Wow! How incredible is that! Julee started Mojo Monday

in 2007 and look how strong it's going today! Mojo Monday 

and Viva la Verve are my absolute favorite challenges to play along

with! I am also in love with Verve Stamps if you haven't already noticed!

I first played along with Mojo Monday back in October of 2012.

It was the very first challenge I ever participated in! I loved it so much

that I've never looked back and sketch challenges have become

my all-time favorite! I have a purple three ring binder where I keep the
print outs that Julee makes for all the Mojo sketches so I never have
to worry about inspiration when doing a non sketch challenge. 

I just flip through my binder and pick one! 

For the sketch, Julee went back to the first Mojo Monday sketch

she ever made! Here is my take on that sketch:

Being the first of the month, it is a prize winning challenge, but not

only that, Julee has decided that the Mojo Monday design team

needs a few more designers! So I am throwing my hat in the ring to

see if maybe I can make the cut! It would be a dream come true - literally!

Mojo Monday #399

Good morning crafty friends and happy Saturday! Hope y'all are

having a great weekend so far! I was lucky over the past two days

to get to spend time with one of my sisters. Hailey has been

a waitress for a few years, and is also a horse trainer. She had some

free time and gave me some lessons! I've ridden a few of the

horses at her barn many years ago but I never had the pleasure of

getting a formal lesson! We had a lot of fun! I was also able to get in some

 crafty time and made a card following the current Mojo Monday sketch.
