B-Day Card

This is a card I made for my husband's co-worker. The skull was made using my Cricut that Liz gave me. The paper is from a stack I picked up at Michael's a while back and don't know offhand who the maker is. Liz, have I told you how much I LOVE my Cricut?? :)

Unscripted Sketch # 16

Happy Saturday!!! Today's sketch for Unscripted Sketches is just a tad bit different than we've had in the past. Rather than using a stamped image or embellishment for the focal point, we are to use a photograph. I used a photograph of some pink flowers taken a while back at a zoo:




The paper and cardstock are from my scrap pile. The sentiment was cut with my Stamping Solutions Cricut Cartridge. The ribbon is also from my stash. I used a black marker to draw lines around the edge and highlight some of the circles on the pattern paper.

Today I am going to a class at Frenzy Stamper taught by my friend Jane. I have been looking forward to this for weeks!! I love the store, and the owner Deb, and all of the unique products they carry. Good thing I've been saving my money!!!

Please come on over to Unscripted Sketches to join in this weeks great sketch, and check out what all of the other wonderful designers have created!

Unscripted Sketch #13 & HAPPY 4TH!

Howdy everyone!!! It's Saturday, and that means another great sketch is up over at Unscripted Sketches. Here is this week's sketch and my take:

All papers are My Mind's Eye. Kraft cardstock by Stampin' Up. Pink cardstock from my scrap pile. Sentiment by Kim Hughes (Tag! You're It collection). Stardust Stickles outlines the heart in the middle and the ribbon is from my stash.

Those pretty hearts made with my new Cricut that was gifted to me by my dear friend Liz. They are from a cartridge I bought called Simply Sweet. Oh, and they have a new one just released 3days ago called Stampin' Solutions. I am so into birds and owls and I REALLY WANT THIS ONE! If you read this and you really love me....you can buy this for me and I will love you forever. I just had to spend $185 on fixing my fridge so there goes my play money until next month.... :) Anyhow, back to my story. My friend Liz came into town last weekend and we had an absolute BLAST! 5 of us met up and drove to the east side of town and shopped and ate dinner. Saturday we met up at an LSS for a bit. I was supposed to join them for dinner Saturday night, but there was a family thing I had to help take care of. I really wanted to meet Amie and Casey IRL....but I am sure it will happen sometime soon. :) These ladies are so sweet!!!!

I had to go to Michael's Sunday to buy a new blade for my machine, and they had the Simply Sweet and a few other's on sale for $50!!! So I just had to buy it. I LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!!! I am going to spend some time this weekend playing with it a little more. I love you Liz, thank you so much!
So what is everyone doing for the 4th? We are having some people over Saturday night for a BBQ and we will watch the fireworks from our backyard or go to the park. Sunday I have to catch up on homework and work on a take home quiz....and I hope to get some more crafting done.
Have a good weekend, and please stop by Unscripted Sketches to check us out!!!
