Sweet Sketch 15 and Sweet Sketch Double Take
Sweet Sketch Wednesday

Check out all the details at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
Birds of a feather flock together...

I had so much fun creating this card. When I purchased the bird stamps, I knew I wanted to create a beach card. For the past 32 years our family has enjoyed the beauty of Cannon Beach in Oregon. The only thing this card is missing is Haystack Rock and all the critters that are found there. I was able to locate a baby sand dollar from our adventures and added it to the card. The birds have been stickled to add some sparkly dimension. When I found the blue stripe paper in my stash, I thought it might look like the ocean. The tan paper has a very granual look and has various specks so I thought it was a good choice to replicate the sand.


Below is a closer view of the birds...

Don't forget to look at the Double Take, too!

Regina at The Cutting Cafe is our sponsor this week. Check out her site and view her digi stamps. I love Halloween so I chose the Ekk, Ekk, Ekk, Ekk Spider and the Happy Halloween sentiment. I'm not sure why I chose the spider...because I hate spiders...I think this one looks too real! But I suppose that is what makes Halloween scary. I loved using my new Martha Stewart Spider Web border punch.

I have two versions of this card. Tell me which one you like! The stamped image included the Ekk, Ekk, Ekk, Ekk web. I added orange stickle to the spider's eyes.

Happy Halloween Supplies:

Stamp: The Cutting Cafe: Halloween This and That
Paper: SU Pumpkin Pie, Green Galore, Black, My Mind's Eye Boo! To You "Fright Night" Paper, Bo Bunny's Back to Backs
Embellishments: MS Spider Webs, Ribbon, SU Modern Label

Hope you have a great week. Thanks for all the wonderful comments.

Your Day!

Update:  When I created this card I only had about three copics...no flesh colors!  So I quickly colored in the flesh on this little bride to give her some color.

This week Digi Shack is our sponsor at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I choose this Lani Bride stamp. What a sweet bride! You will want to check out their other digi stamps....oh, so cute. TDS is offering a prize this week for the best card...so I think you will want to play along. Check out all the details for posting your card on Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
I am new at using my Copics but I am learning as I view other cards. It definitely looks like I need a flesh color. I do have some E's but they were the wrong shade in my opinion so I opted to not color her skin. Also next time I would blush her cheeks and use rhinestones for her jewelry instead of the stickles.
But even with my few omissions, she is a beautiful bride!!! Hope you enjoy her too!

Wow, it is Sweet Sketch Wednesday again and there's lots of excitement there this week. We have our first sponsor, Inktegrity! So my second card is made with Joni's new digi stamps. This was a first for me and was an exciting adventure to try a new technique. Be sure to take a few minutes and check things out at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Inktegrity is offering a prize this week and you could be the winner!!! How fun is that! You may also want to check out Joni's blog at Inktegrity.blogspot.com. She has featured the work of many DT members at various blogs. Hope you enjoy checking it out.

I am really getting into the "Halloween Mood" lately. So it was fun to make the above card. It was my first time using my picket fence and I always love using my QuicKuts! Hope you enjoy my card too.

Thanks so much for your sweet comments the past few weeks. Things are still rather hectic here. Our roof is almost complete....hopefully by this evening, as we are getting a week long stretch of rain starting tomorrow and we already got rained out last Friday evening when we tore off our roof. Not too much damage but isn't that the way it always happens.

With all the doctors appointments and hospitalization for my FIL this past week and the roof project, I was very slow in checking out everyone's cards...so please forgive me!!! But I loved looking at all your new cards and creations!

Thanks for Being a Lifesaver! by Inktegrity

I loved using this new digi stamp from Inktegrity. Thank, Joni. I added the seagull stamp to it. I was also able to try out my new Copic pens and also my new nestibilities....what fun!!! Thanks, Sheri, for your help. I couldn't have done it without you! I do love the embossed look of the nestibilities!

I just discovered that Heidi Grace has a new store in Tacoma near Point Definance Park. I spoke with her yesterday. They also tore off the store roof last Friday and were rained out. I do have empathy! Well, we have something in common. I am excited to meet Heidi and see her new store and products. I'll give you an update next week. This weekend she is actually having a Sidewalk Sale of her scrapbook products....so that should be fun!!! I'm sure I'll find something I need!!!!
