Skipping Stones Design Sketch #104

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

It's time for another sketch from Skipping Stones Design! Here's this week's sketch by our Guest Sketch Designer Chan Vuong:

 Here's my take on it!

supplies: CS: Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla (SU!); stamp sets: Rustic Tiles, Christmas Song (Skipping Stones Design); stamping ink: Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red (SU!); ribbon holder, brad: Creative Impressions; twine: Whisker Graphics.

Be forewarned... my next few cards might be Christmas themed... oh and they all have Kraft cardstock in them... Just sayin'. :)

Anyway, I loved this sketch for the week by Chan! I had a fabulous time using more of Rustic Tiles as part of my "patterned" paper... Which, by the way is still on sale for $12.49 until the end of the night tonight! Hurry and pick up yours today!

I'm also really loving creating Christmas cards. I should have a handful to give away for Christmas! Yay!

Hello Hump Day!

The other day we went to a Dinosaur themed birthday party at a local park for one of our favorite little guys turning ONE! Can't believe how fast time flies! It seems like it was yesterday that we were visiting his family when he was born!

supplies: CS: kraft, orange (Bazzill), Chocolate Chip (SU!), light green, dark green (DeNami Design); cricut cartridge: Create a Critter (dinosaur & volcano cut at 3"); other: Chocolate chip ink (SU!), sentiment rub-ons (SU!), cloud die cuts (Taylored Expressions), dimensional adhesive

The birthday party was dinosuar themed and I wanted to make a matching card for the birthday boy. I really love the Create-A-Critter cartridge by Cricut! I can see why it's a favorite for a lot of people! So many fun images! The only bummer thing was that I didn't have a sentiment in my stash (rub-on or stamp) to match, so I had to just use what I had. Don't worry, I purchased some stamp sets this weekend to go with my Cricut cartridges so I can remedy that quickly! :) Yay for new goodies to play with!

Anyway, the party was at a local park in the Bay Area and I have never, in my 30-something years of living in the area, been there... Well, maybe I had when I was little, but I don't remember! *loL* The park is really cool - petting zoo, playground, steam train, carousel, etc. The kids had a great time feeding the animals - we're probably going to go back in a couple of weeks when school is back in session and the park will be less crowded. (We like to avoid crowds. *lol*)

Super proud of myself for creating another Cricut card! I'm really getting the hang of it! I'm really trying to explore my cartridge collection too. Now if someone would teach me how to use my Gypsy, that would be more AWESOME! *lol*

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

Frosted Designs - Animals
Make It Monday #50- Anything Goes
Paper Playtime - Anything Goes
Try It On Tuesday - Anything Goes
Tuesday Throwdown - Non-Stamped Sentiment
wee memories #64 - Masculine Card

Thanks for visiting today, everyone! Have a great rest of the week!
