A QUICK LITTLE POST

I am going to be busy working on a wedding present for the rest of the evening so I thought I would post my recent layout and the card for the wedding now.

The layout is for the Guest Designer Sketch over at Colorful Creations and the Button It Up challenge #137 on Party Time Tuesdays.  The buttons are the star flowers on the lower left.  I rotated the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise.  I used photos from my recent visit to Rockwood Mansion.

Next up is my card for the wedding we are going to tomorrow.  I am entering it in the Anything Goes challenge #164 on Tuesday Throwdown, PPA171 Color Challenge on Pals Paper Arts, the New Beginnings challenge at Delightful Challenges, Challenge #286 Hip to be Square at Cute Card Thursday, the Weddings/Anniversaries challenge on Divas by Design and using sketch #69 from Feeling Sketchy.

and now I'm off to get busy working on a purse/accordian book for the present!

Thanks for stopping by!  Don't forget to come back and see the gift tomorrow!

MAKING THE GOAL!

This weekend was another online crop and my normal goals for a weekend crop are 4 layouts and 4 cards.  Yesterday I obviously made the layout goal (and some).  For today I needed to complete the cards.  I was getting tired by the third but wanted to make the goal so here we are!

My first card was for the Paper Secrets CYAO challenge.  I had to use the following sketch plus 3+ hexagons and wood.  The Colorful Creations Creative Card Challenge called for using 3 patterned papers so this card also meets the criteria for that challenge.


I cut my 3 hexagons and layered them on top of each other.  Then I took a wood piece of holly.  I colored it first with markers and then to subdue it I went over the top with some black ink which I also used to ink the edges of my hexagons and circles.  I added a rub on sentiment which reads Seasons Greetings.

Here is my first card:



My second card used sketch #197 from Unscripted Sketches and the color palette challenge #102 Red, Pink, Purple and/or White from Die-cuttin Divas.  For this card I started with some pink patterned paper.  Next I cut a strip of Coredinations red/white cardstock which I embossed and sanded.  I backed this with some red cardstock.  I added a small square of purple cardstock on which I put a charm that reads 'Follow Your Bliss'.

Card #3 used Color Palette #229 from Color Throwdown and Deconstructed Sketch #89 from Decontructing Jen.  I used scallops and lace for the Frilly Challenge at Delightful Challenges.  I started with a layer of sparkly brown cardstock.  I edged some olive patterned paper with a scallop punch.  I added some blush cardstock which I also edged with the scallop punch.  I added a square that had the colors and the sentiment Let It Snow which was on a brown sticker. The edges of everything were inked with brown ink.   Last I added some white snowflake lace.

My 4th and final creation for today used color palette #62 from Inspired By, and Pretty Patterns sketch number 82 from My Time Made Easy.  I added a butterfly which made it qualify for the "A" - Anything With Wings challenge from Alphabet Challenges, things with wings for Allsorts Challenges week #194, and Less Is More challenge #107 Up in the Air (things that fly).  I started this one with some yellow patterned paper, some yellow cardstock, grey herringbone patterned paper,  a white cardstock oval, some white gimp, and a yellow felt butterfly.
