Thanks Friend

Snow days are good for something!  I have had lots of time to play in my crap room so I am posting another card that I made yesterday.  I played along with the sketch challenge on SCS yesterday and this is what I came up with.  I clear embossed the tiny hearts background stamp by hero arts on my pink card base then used some fun paper by Basic Grey's Hey Girl line.  I stamped my sentiment from Simon Says Stamp (square sayings) onto my patterned paper which I had die cut using my spellbinders dies, then popped that up over the banner strip.

Here is the link to the challenge on Splitcoaststampers  sc472

Stamp Camp 2 Day 4 - 10 minute card challenge!

YIKES!!  Today's challenge for the Stamp Camp 2 card class was to make a card in 10 minutes or less!  Gulp!  I have never attempted one of these challenges before.  I always have precut and scored card bases, so I reached for a white one and then a scrap of white cs that I cut to 5 1/4 x 4.  I also always have a drawer of pieces that have already been die cut so I pulled out a sprig with leaves on it.  Next, I picked up the washi tape that was sitting on my desk that just happened to match the colors for this weeks challenge!  (Score!)  I sprayed the  die cut with Heidi Swapp color shine.  Now at this point I said to myself, you know fine that leaves are not the color of Georgia peaches, but green is not an option, so peach leaves they are, lol!  I adhered my die cut to the white panel and thought I should pop this panel up and reached for my tape runner, put adhesive all over the panel and stuck it to the card base.  DANG IT!!!!  I just said I wanted to pop the panel up!  Argh!  I reached for my sentiment from a set that was still sitting on my desk from a card the other day, but in my haste my impression was not perfect, so I re-inked my stamp and stamped over the image........ DANG IT!!!  It was blurry!!!  All the time I am watching the stop watch ticking away.  Time to start over.  Luckily I know what I am going to do at this point and everything was still out.  The only thing is at this point I had to use a different die cut, which I feel is too big for my card, but it is what it is.  Not thrilled with my card, but not a bad effort for my first 10 minute challenge.  I came in under the limit, but it is stressful watching the seconds pass you by!  Anyway, I can't wait to see what everyone else did for the challenge.  Thanks for checking out my card!

I took a screen shot of my time but I can't figure out how to upload it!!!  My time was 7.12.  I hope it is ok to use stuff that has already been die cut.

The card above was my original card and I like this die cut better, but the sentiment is blurry, bummer!

CAS(e) this sketch #35

Where did the weekend go?  How can it be Monday morning already?  I have been awake since 4am this morning, so it's going to be a L-O-N-G day!!

Since I have been awake so long, I had some time to play and I found this fun simple sketch on the CAS(e) this sketch blog and decided to play along.  I must admit, I have a 'slight' addiction with washi tape.  I just can't get enough of it!  It is so much fun to play with, so naturally that is what I reached for today, ha!  I also love the Heidi Swapp gold color shine, and that is what is 'splattered' on the card.

Anyway that is it for this morning.  I have to go and get ready for work.  Enjoy your day, even if it is Monday!

Excuse the poor lighting on the card, I couldn't seem to get it right.
