Hello friends!

Here is a quick post for you today.  We are at Sketch #49 here at AHSC.  Here was the sketch: 

 

 I just love the sketches Michelle comes up with!  She's so creative.  Anyways, here is my take on the sketch, which this week, was very literal:

Supplies were primarily from Stampin' Up! with the flowers coming from my stash.  

I hope it inspires spring for you!

Enjoy!

Here is what I came up with:

I've been playing around with some metal sheets again! I just love the look when they are embossed.  I added some sequin ribbon as I have been seeing it popping up in crafts everywhere!  I hope you enjoy and will play along with us!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #43

Good morning!

Well, it's a week off from school for my children, so that means plenty of crafting time together!  In our home, you can always find craft supplies, glue sticks, scissors - you name it - scattered around.  I also wake up to handmade cards from my children tucked into pillowcases or set on the dresser.  I love a creative home!

This week over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, we were given a simple, yet challenging sketch!  I tried not to take the "literal" approach.  Here was the sketch:

 

Here was my interpretation:

I played with some metal sheets from "Add A Little Dazzle" and my embossing folders.  I can't wait for my Close to My Heart Embossing folder to arrive later today!  I am always in need of birthday cards, so find myself making them.  I hope you enjoy!

 Cardstock - Stampin' Up (Elegant Eggplant, Basic Gray, Whisper White
Metal Sheets - Add a Little Dazzle
