All Occasion Masculine Card

Happy Halloween everyone.  While I don't have a Halloween card to share with you today, I do have an all occasion masculine card to show you.  I always need a good masculine card but seem to never have one on hand.  I made this card by using the Come Away With Me 8X8 Paper Pad by Graphic 45
and a few items I had in my stash. It was so quick and simple that I made a few extra to have on hand.
Hope you have a great  Halloween and are able to recover from the sugar overload over the weekend. LOL

Easter Greetings

Happy Friday everyone. It's my turn to share a project on The 7kids store blog.  I chose to do a Easter Chunky ATC.  I used the wonderful Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments collection.  I also used a butterfly broach that belonged to my Grandma on this project. I love to use old jewelry especially if it's sentimental to me.

I hope you all have a great weekend. If you get a chance, we would love for you to join our latest challenge HERE. We love to see your projects!!  Happy Crafting :)

Hope you enjoy it.

Be My Valentine

Happy Friday everyone! I'm so excited to share my card with you today. I recently received my order from the 7kids store and couldn't wait to dig in to the new Graphic 45 paper I got.  It's called Sweet Sentiments. I just love the colors and the beautiful vintage images.  This collection is perfect for Valentines day, Easter and Spring.

Happy Card Making :)

Glad Tidings Mega Chunky ATC

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Our new challenge starts today over on the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog and the theme is "anything goes".  All of our challenges through the end of this year will be "anything goes" but don't forget that in order to be eligible for a gift certificate prize you must use an image carried in the 7 Kids College Fund Store. 

For My project I chose to do a Mega Chunky ATC.  I've made Chunky ATC's before,  you can see one of them  Here (scroll down a little ways). This one is about twice the size so that's why I'm calling it a Mega Chunky ATC.  I had the best time making this.  Of course I couldn't stay away from the Graphic 45 paper. LOL.  Hope you enjoy :)

12 days of Christmas card

Happy Friday everyone.  I just got my order from 7kids college fund in the mail yesterday and I immediately ran to my craft room to create this Christmas card.

The paper I used is from the 12 Days of Christmas 8X8 Paper  by Graphic 45.
For the card base and the stamp I used Neenah solar white super smooth card stock .

The Adorable angel stamp is from Crafty Individuals

 And the super cool buckle came from Tim Holtz Idea-ology.  

I can't wait to make another card. Hope you have a great weekend and if you like what you see, you can click on the items I used and it will take you to the store so you can buy all this awesome stuff.

Unscripted Sketches # 226

Welcome to Sketch it Saturdays at Unscripted Sketches!

Here is the new sketch for the week.

Like last week's card, I've been having a great time using the wonderful French country papers from Graphic 45. I can't stop making cards with this gorgeous paper. I will be using this yummy collection for  plenty more cards to come.  As you can see I didn't follow the sketch to the letter, but rather used some of the elements to inspire my creation.  That's the great thing about sketches they get you pointed in the right direction and then you can use your artistic license to make it your own.

 Here's my card.

 Hope you will join us and make a wonderful card from this great sketch.
Happy Card Making :)
