Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #76

Hey there,

I'm so excited!! Yesterday my package from Addicted to Rubber Stamps came in the mail with my new Our Craft Lounge stamps, Sandy Sunsets, and Coastal Wishes. I've been waiting to get these sets since they first came out but just didn't want to spend the extra money. So I saw a great sale at Addicted to Rubber and it was around my Birthday so I decided to go for it. And of course I ripped open the package and began using my new stamps. So here is the first project that I made.

I've been wanting to give Taylor's Sketch Challenge (TECC76) a try, so that is exactly what I did.

So here it is, I hope you enjoy, now it's back to creating some more cards!!! I think I will be in a very beachy mood now that I have these stamps to create with lol. I'll have to remind myself not to neglect the others, right, lol!!

Oh and don't for get to give Taylor's Sketch Challenge a try, it's a fun one! Enjoy!!!

TECC66

Hey everyone,

One last Mother's Day sample card to share with you guys. This was the 4th card that I made before I was able to come up with the perfect Mother's Day card, check this postfor the perfect Mother's Day card.

I pick up this card from Jackie Pedro's blog, she made some great card for the Verve sneak peak and I so happend to want to CASE this card of hers. She does such amazing work!!! So for my card I changed up the colors a bit to be more springy but otherwise its the same layout. I thought it came out nicely but it just wasn't the one.

So this is the last Mother's Day card I will be sharing with you since I had to make 6 to get the perfect one and I've showed you all of them. Now it's back to school. I have this week, which is almost over, except for a test of Thursday night and one early Friday Morning, and then next week which is finals, so this week is the last week of instruction and then I just have one final on Thursday and I'm done and on my way (hopefully) to a summer of card making and getting to my scrapbooks. Lucky me, we will see how well I keep to being creative all summer long. So if I'm not around the rest of this week and next Im studying my you know what off to get straight A's like last semester, so I won't be creating tell later.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy and have a great day!!!!!!!!!!

TECC41 Sending you Love

Hey everyone, I hope everything is well. Everything is great here is Sac, I just had my first week of school and I think this one is going to be another good one!!! I'm excited but I have a feeling that this semester is not going to allow me much time to stamp so I will try my best. Sometimes I would totally rather be stamping than doing my homework which is totally what I am doing right now, I should be reading for all of my classes and staying on top of everything but that's not happening with Valentine's day come and my boyfriends birthday this Saturday. I still have to make cards, so here and there before this weekend and Valentine's day you will see some cards and I will probably be procrastinating with school, so while I'm posting I hope you are enjoying my creations. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!!!!

This card is a TECC challenge from a while back but I thought it would be perfect for Sending you love.

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #43

Last night I decided to play with the TECC43 Sketch Challenge and I made some baby cards.

I have two cousins who just had baby's this last month one a boy and the other a girl and another one of my cousins just announced that she is expecting a baby boy for April so I thought it would be appropriate to make some baby cards using this sketch. Also I have had this set forever, I think it was one of the first sets I bought when I started purchasing from SU and until last night it has never been inked, it's probably been a good year since I got it, so I finally inked it up. About time huh?!!!

The first card I made for a little baby boy, I had to change the sketch from portrait to landscape because it didn't seem to work for the images and sentiment I had, first I changed the sentiment and it still didn't work so I just flipped the card and continued to make it not thinking to go back to my original sentiment from the set, "Welcome Baby," which would have worked better for sending out to my cousins. But it all works out either way.




For this second card I did the same thing, but I thought it would be cute to give the baby feet some dimension so I popped them up with dimension dots.
