If you would like a chance to win a $100.00 gift certificate to JustRite, create a card using Laura's sketch and head on over HERE! 
The paper I used was pink patterned SU!, Lasting Impressions (distressed white) and Making Memories. It had a bit of a vintage feel to it. I had a scrap of ribbon that had both pink and blue in it and matched perfectly! I tied a SU! button and floss to the ribbon. I also found a jar of cream colored Primas and used that for the upper right hand corner. 
I am usually late with the sketch challenge over at 2 Sketches 4 You, but not this week! I was on a roll with this week's sketch! The first card is for my soon to be 3 year old nephew. You remember the happy guy down below? He told me, " I am gonna have a "train" party." So to go with the theme of the party, I made him a personalized train card! What says personalization like Just Rite stamps? ! The center image was picked up at Archivers in their invitation aisle. The DP is about a hundred years old I think! LOL! The rest is pretty self-explanatory.
The second card is made with October Afternoon paper purchased at Noel Mignon's store! (Her store always stocks the newest stuff!) The stamp set is by SU! I colored it in with my Copics. I distressed all of the edges and added a pretty satin bow. I tied the button on and attached the glittered heart with a jump ring. The little circles on the bottom were from my jewelry making days. (Yep, dabbled in that craft too! IF only there were more hours in the day......*sigh*) 
Hope everyone had a great weekend! We swam a lot and spent time together as a family. It was nice to just talk and hang out together. 
This was another card that is super late! I used a 2 Sketches 4 You sketch from a couple of weeks ago. I used some scraps that I had and pulled this together pretty quickly. Speaking of 2 Sketches 4 You.....last week's card made the top 5! I was pretty excited to have been chosen! 
I am finally posting a card on time! I made this for this week's 2 Sketches 4 You challenge. I used a Making Memories stamp set from Noel Mignon's store and some cute October Afternoon paper. I just got this pretty ribbon and it matched perfectly! I colored the present with my Copics twice. I cut the second image out and placed it on a pop dot. I added a teeny rhinestone to the top of the present. I threaded a little button and some Doodlebug flowers. I also added a stick pin to the back. 
Thanks so much for stopping! 
First off, thank you for all of your well wishes concerning Bruno. I really appreciate it. It makes my heart feel good to know that there are all those caring souls out there. This was a card I made for 2 Sketches 4 You a couple of weeks ago and never posted. Don't ask why, cuz I really don't know why! But here it is....better late than never. Just a quickie card.....I'm starting to like those quick simple cards! I used my Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots folder. Some October Afternoon paper from Noel's Picnic Basket kit, and a Melissa Frances glittered heart. The sentiment was from a Making Memories stamp kit.
This week at 2 Sketches 4 You, Laura is hosting. Her sketch is wonderful! I had quite a stash of Melissa Frances paper that I purchased from Noel Mignon's store. So I did what came naturally.......went vintage! The sentiment was by Hero Arts. The tag peeking out from behind is from Target. (It was part of their shabby/chic line). The word girlfriend is actually a rub on that I placed on paper and cut around. I did some machine stitching and added pearls to the corners. 
A couple of designers, Kazan and Laura, from Bitten by the Bug, have started a new blog called 2 Sketches 4 You. Each week one of the gals posts a challenge for a chance to win some goodies. I love their sketches and decided this week, to play along! I used all SU! paper. I used an image from Crafty Secrets and punched a couple of stars. I added some old vintage buttons and tied some string through. I printed the sentiment on the computer. It was actually a pretty fast card, no stamping, and the thinking was pretty much done for me!
