I'm not really a great glitter it person, I don't like to get TOO messy, but I do love it when things are already glittered for ya.. but I did bust out the Stickles for this card challenge at Twisted Sketches # 31 for the sketch and the twist- glitter.. I didn't want to wait for the card to dry, so I just took a pic anyways.. I also used it for the 2SDs card challenge to embellish and embellishment.. there ya go.
well I did sneak in one non birthday card and know I need to get started on my Christmas ones.. Here is one that I created to use non traditional colors to create a Christmas card for Diane's 2SDs card challenge.. and I have to say this line, Everybody Loves Christmas from Echo Park is puuuuurfect for non tradtional colors.. and I LOVE that.. I used the Card Patterns sketch # 88 for this card and here's my take on it.
Still on the birthday card roll here.. got one more done.. I used the Got Sketch card sketch #105 for this one.. I also used Echo Park goodies to create it, the Life is Good line.. just love it, esp that yellow patterned paper... I also combined it with Alecia's 2SD's challenge to add a button and bow on your card.. I have to say Bows are not my friends, so this was as good as it gets..
I noticed in my Happy Birthday card making, I am slowly using up ALL my A's so I'm trying to get ultra creative when I come up with my sentiments.. so I resorted to Celebr8.. and think I'll be using that one again for sure.. I used the Get Sketchy #62 card sketch for this card, kinda tweaked it a bit for my card, used Echo Park Life is Good and combined it towards Diane's card challenge at 2SDs to use fall colors and hemp... so here's my card.
well I finally got to the Sunday sketches for 365 card challenge blog.. my photo didn't photo great, but we'll due and keep going.. I used Day 245 sketch for this card, lots of Echo Park Life is Good goodies.. and combined it with Diane's card challenge for 2 SDs to use a card sketch and use circles on it. here it is..
Here is my card for Day 238, I used the Sunday sketch, Echo Park Life if Good goodies... and combined it with Diane's card challenge for 2SDs to use 3 buttons.. got it.
Here is another birthday card, using Echo Park's Walk in a Park line.. I just love the colors of it and the wide range of color at that. I used the Sassy Lil Sketch #3 Card sketch... and combined with it with Diane's card challenge for 2 SDS- use 3 PPs, 2 brads--- opps I used 3 and 1 ribbon...
I realllly needed to get back on the birthday card making band wagon, my stash is runnin low.. so this afternoon, all about birthday card making... Here is one that I used with the Sassy lil sketches # 4 sketch.. I also combined it with Diane's card challenge at 2SDs to make your own flower on the card. I just LOVE to make these spiral ones.. I used Echo Park Life is Good line... just cuz I love it.
This week for Scrapbook Trends blog challenge it was all about BLING!!!! and I'm a girl who LOVES my bling... yup, love the sparkle, shine and shimmer.. I think I add it to every project too.. why not? So here is my card for this challenge. I used the EVER cute and fun Everybody Loves Christmas line from Echo Park.. check out those cute and cozy snowmen... I like em!!! I also used the Inspired Blueprints card sketch #58 to give me a bit of inspiration.
I don't know about you, but we just got some snow yesterday.. the first of the winter season. Luckily it wasn't too much, cuz I am sure not ready for it yet!!! At least get me through Halloween, and maybe even Thanksgiving.. But here are some photos of the kids sledding last winter... They are sooo excited and I have to say I was too.. It was my FIRST time ever sledding.. I used the new Echo Park Wintertime line which is sooo perfect for those snow photos.. I LOVE LOVE the big white swirls.. and you know me, I gotta cut them out!! and add some bling... 
For this last reveal with the CP store, I got to use the Reminisce Autumn Forest lines (found in the CP store HERE) which I have to say is soooo fun and perfect for fall photos. This line has lots of fun pumpkin, apples and forest tree papers to coordinate with LOTS of fall photos.. I totally LOVED the fun stitcker pack, with lots of cute owls and sayings.. I have to say I really, really enjoyed this line and made my supplies go as far as I could with it.. So here is what I created with it.. and Fall is in the air here forsure, it's gotten colder, we finally had to break down and turn on the heat, the mornings are chilly and once that sun goes down.. watch out... it's cold baby!!!
Pumpkin Pickin:
check out the cute fox and saying!!!!
I Am Thankful 4 U Card:
can I just tell you how much I lllllllloooooooovvvvvvveeeeeee my kraft cardstock??? I honestly don't know what I would do without it. I really, really don't. It's my go to, staple, grab it to match with everything.. I esp LOVE it with boy pages.. and this line from Echo Park, their newest Wintertime line, it goes with perfectly... These are photos of 2 of my nephews (Jordan and Tyler) when we went sledding last Christmas break. I used the Kraft it Up challenge/ sketch for this month to create this page... I even went crazy and busted out the mist too.. it's kinda light, but there's some blue mist action is the background..
ok there is a TON of Making Memories jewelry in the Croppin Paradise store.. and sooo many thing and options to do with it.. Here is a flower clip that I created with this MM jewelry piece HERE.. and there are tons more in the store HERE..
ok last card for the day... Here is one that I created with some of my FAVE colors... I LOVE this trim and I know I've used it a bit before, but I can't get enough of it.. kinda adds a bit of vintage here and there.. Here is my take on the Card Patterns sketch this week.. and one added piece of bling to top it all off..
I was totally in card mode last night.. so much so, I went to bed after midnight and still had to get up and go to work early.. but it was worth it.. LOL.. here is my take on the 2S4Y sketch this week... I just used some scraps and misc things from here and there, trying to use up some things from old kits... I'm trying to actually clean up my area.. hopefully I'll get there one day.. but here's that card that came out of it.
Well I was working on getting to lots of scrap, papers and embellies just sitting on my desk that I've been meaning to use and kinda just keep passing them over.. I LOVED this PP diecut embellie... I knew I had to use it soon.. So here it is, on a birthday card.. I used the GS #59 sketch for this one... and here's my take with it..
Well I got out those Cutter Bee scissors and got down and dirty with some fun fussy cutting... I haven't done as much lately, I don't know why, so I saw this paper and just thought that is needed to be cut up... I used the Sassy Lil Sketch #2 for this card... I have to say I'm a HUGE fan of brown, cream, and turquoise all together... esp since that's the color scheme in our bedroom... so I guess this card matches!!
I was looking at this piece of paper from SEI and it has these gorgeous big huge flowers on them and I cut one out and just knew I had to add it to a card... So here is my big flower power card, I used the IC card sketch to create it and that trim.. I LOVE it... I don't remember where I even got it, or when I just pulled it out of my stash...
I played along with 365 card challenge blog for Day 224, the Sunday sketch.. Here is my take on it.. I kinda flipped it a bit and then added a fun big flower... and sprinkled it with some bling.. and waaaalaaaa.. here's my card..
