Today is day 365 on 365 Cards!!! I can't believe it came so fast.... oh wait, it's just because I've only been with them for 3 weeks!!! hahahahaaha oh well... anyways, it was a super sketchy Sunday and it's a very clean sketch, simple, and those of you who know me, know that I don't do so well with that. I'm better when I can put a whole bunch of stuff on my card... but here's my crack at it anyways. Hope you enjoy! Can't wait for the next 365! woot woot!
Sent via BlackBerry by AT&TToday at 365 cards is the last day of scraplifting style from the DT. It has been fun. I must confess that this has been a super busy day for me, baking cakes and cookies and making trifles, but I did manage to find the time to get the card done. Although I didn't follow Vicky's style quite as closely as I followed the others, I still think this card fits. Here's Vicky's card: 
She is described as sharp and clean and always stamping on a white background.
So I went with that, here's my card: 
My colors are not quite "soft" like hers, but I lifter her idea of stamping on white and coloring it to match the background, I also used her layering idea of using the same colors in the pic as in the layers. I'm using this as a thank you card for the girl who ordered the cake that I made today. Well, lots of work left to do, not to mention the mountain of laundry!!! ugh..... I just wanna go to bed..... night night!
Today it Sophies' day over at 365 cards. We are told to make something clean and simple, yet totally beautiful! Sure, sure, I'm all over that one! Sounds easy until you start putting stuff on a card.... then it's a bit harder than it seems. This calls for a shopping trip!!!! (I hate it when that happens!) So, I went to JoAnne's to try and find something specific; texture plates. I know, I know, it's sacrilege to own a Big Shot and not have a single texture plate.... so today I fixes that problem! ha ha ha As you can see in my card below, I pretty much CASED her idea completely... but added a cute little die cut on a pop dot for dimension. Texture plates are harder to use than I had originally thought, and they require other items too, so I had to "make do" and run it through my Big Shot whatever way I could... just enough so you get the idea... it's something i"m going to have to work on! hahahaha Well, thanks for looking. I'm off to hang out with my little guy, it's super windy out and he has Toy Story in his little hands, how can I deny a mommy and son movie day? TTFN
365 Cards is having us emulate someone from the DT's style each day this week, today is Amy. Amy made the round card above and the cute little pinwheel on top.... that felt like spring tome... so I ran with it!!!!!
How Stinking cute is that? OK, well since Sweet Sentiment is going to be a gift basket business that I'm starting (if anyone needs a gift basket, please get a hold of me!!!) I thought that I'd throw together a quick little something..... Now mind you; this is something that took me like 5 minutes to make, because I have a 3 year old pulling on me saying, "mommy get up." So anyways... here's my "Break up" basket!
I love this little pail that I found at the craft store the other day, and what a great way to use it!!!! I threw in some sweets and a drink mix and thought "this is for the girl who is breaking up with her boyfriend because he thinks she has too may shoes, she must have a pair of gym shoes in there, so here's a bunch of sweets that make her feel like she's indulging, but it's all low calorie/fat!!! She's gunna have shoes, and a rockin' hot bod!!!" Yeah, I know, long though... but hey, that's how my mind works! ahahahahah OK.... so as soon as my hubbs gets back from the gym, I'm off to the track to put in my 3 miles.... hopefully. I've got my bottle of water and my pocket full of cough drops... wish me luck!
e's Audrey's card: 
"Create a card with vintage style." This is a card that Gloria did as the example for today, we were to "scraplift" something from it..... so here' goes.......
I decided I wanted to go with the 50"s era, and I love the old coffee posters! So.... after an hour or so of finding appropriate ones on the Internet, this is what I came up with... I loved how Gloria had her pictures overlapping one another and all at angels, so I took that element from her. Additionally I liked how she grouped her brads in 3"s.... so I scraplifted that too....
I sure hope that I get well soon, I'm pretty sure that this virus I have has totally messed with my card-making prowess..... ho huh... cough, cough, I think I better go get my millionth cup of hot tea doused with honey. someday I'll be normal... wait.... strike that! ;) ha ha ha!
The sketch seems pretty easy, but I think the less there is on the sketch, the harder it is to actually produce a card that looks "finished." So, here's my take on Vicky's Sketch over at 365 cards today
.... I added a few things, but I think the card needed them in order to look finished. Now it's off to Michael's to pick up some supplies for a cake and peruse the stamping aisle.... ho hum... a stampers collection is NEVER complete!!!
And, here's my take on it! I'm still not feeling up to par yet, so I think I may be a little off the mark, but it goes, and I had a second opinion (thanks Pal) to re-assure me that it fit the sketch. So, I guess I'm golden! hahaha I sure hope this bug leaves my family soon, it's sunny outside and I wanna go play! See ya all tomorrow.
UPDATE: I'm using this card on Practical Scrappers sketch for blog hop week, Since I have not eneterd this card in any sites (like 365) or anything... I though why not use it?!?!? Thanks for the great idea from Tony, and for the sketch that it fits so well at practical scrappers! Yeay!
