Birthdays Are For the Birds!

Freshly Made Sketches is celebrating their 200th sketch!  I think this "birds on a wire" stamp from Hero Arts fit the bill (or should I say beak! sorry....).  The sentiment is from Crafty Secrets.

Joy

I haven't had time to create for about a week now but it seems like forever!  I made this card for a couple of challenges.  The SCS Technique Lovers Challenge was to use only one word and embellishments.  I used the Freshly Made Sketch from this week (and took a little liberty with it):

and the CAS(E) This Sketch turned upside down:

I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and a PaperTrey Phrase Play Die (Joy) to cut the gold glitter paper.

I am also submitting this to the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge:

Oh Happy Day!

Welcome to ATCAS #40 hosted by our fabulous hostess Karen and who selected the code word: TRANSPORT for us.

Our guest designer for the month of June is Karen from Snippets!  Karen is an outstanding CAS stamper so I know we are all in for a treat this month!  Welcome Karen!

We have StampArt Designs by Kathryne as our sponsor again.  Please check out the Addicted to CAS challenge blog for more information about the prize.  While you're there check out the samples from the ATCAS design team - lots of inspiration there!

I used the Freshly Made Sketch for my card layout and was inspired by the Runway Inspired Challenge:

I was inspired by the colors and the the grey circles or scallops of the shirt are reflected in the wheels of the bicycle and the grey patterned paper that has a darker shade of gray circles.  The bicycle is an image from Hot Off The Press and the sentiment is from Avery Elle.  The patterned papers are from MME.

I am submitting this to the CAS-ual Fridays challenge - What a Catch (masculine card, no kraft and use a ribbon)

and to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Fathers Day/Masculine cards.

HYCCT - Bling it Up

These cards were created for the HYCCT challenge - Bling It Up.  I've had these rhinestone snowflakes forever and got them from Mike's $1 bin.  I used the Freshly Made Sketch challenge layout for these cards.

Birthday Wishes

I am finally getting some time to work on my Online Card Class assignments.  I am taking the His and Hers class.  I used the Freshly Made Sketch from this week and the colors from The Play Date Cafe:

This is the Hers' version.  I covered the card front with patterned paper from MME.  The rest of the paper is from paperTrey as well as the Birthday die cut and "wishes" sentiment.
I'm off to create the His version!  Thanks for coming by!
