Football Season begins...

Just a couple more cards I made while my gang wached the Bronco's play a pre season game. This first one uses all CTMH product, except for the sparkles.

Brads, paper and ribbon are CTMH but the flower is a random stamp that I had.

Thanks for taking a peek!

CPS 131

I have so many "favorite" paper packs from CTMH... and Floral Tapestry is certainly on the ever growing list. I combined the Floral Tapestry paper with a cute Basic Grey die cut to make this quick and easy card. I used the CPS 131 Sketch for the design.

August Stamp of the Month; Unscripted 21

I don't know what has taken me so long to use my August SOTM - I LOVE the cake stamp!

I played with these cute CTMH Jungle stamps when I was visiting my sister and knew that I wanted them myself...so after a home gathering last week, I ordered them. I challenged myself with this card to use no sparkles, flowers or the CTMH distressor that I am so addicted to. I was hoping for a more masculine look but I think it might be a little too "cutesy." Anyway, once again I used the Unscripted Sketch .

Apart from the sparkles, all products on both cards are Close To My Heart.

Not this time...

I had just told fellow blogger
Jamie (whose work I GREATLY admire) that I can make cards pretty quickly. Not this time! The sketch from this week's
Mojo Monday about had me over the edge. I spent close to two hours trying to come up with something to no avail. After much hair pullling, I decided to give it up and let it be. Scallops and I just don't seem to work well together. I had planned on creating a layout while Scott was at class tonight (it's a four hour class plus drive time...thought I could at least get started on something...) but after this, I've given up for the night.
Thanks for stopping by.

CPS 129...and yet another gate fold card.

My daughters talked me into purchasing this Party Hoppers wooden stamp by Stampabilities several months ago, but they still haven't used it. I stamped it and then cut out the individual partiers to create a card using today's CPS Sketch .

Aren't these guys adorable? I went "old school" with chalks and paper tearing :-) .

I keep trying to get rid of the pile of paper scraps that I have on one of my tables, but no matter how many pieces I use - like for this card - the pile seems to grow overnight.

Thanks for taking time to peek at my work...I appreciate you!
