Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #152

I came up with a masculine birthday card for the current Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  I really love my Retro Tech stamp set, but the images aren't that easy to use on a card!  Karen's sketch with three little stacking squares seemed to work well, though.  I clear embossed the sentiment & the three images, then pop dotted them up:

Patterned papers are Then & Now, Echo Park; Stamp sets are Retro Tech, Dainty Thoughts & You & Me, all CTMH; Black & Bamboo inks, CTMH; Black cardstock, CTMH.

Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #29

I found some time to try this week's Sketchbook Saturday sketch... lots of fun elements to put together:

Patterned papers & chipboard are You & Me kit and Mayberry; Cardstock is Chocolate & Creme Brulee; Kraft Color-Ready Borders; Basic Buttons; Stamp set is Say it in Style - all CTMH; Martha Stewart Baker's Twine; Cuttlebug dies.

Color Throwdown Challenge #149

Here are this week's Color Throwdown Challenge colours:

I've had these little Verve flowers stamped for a while, just waiting to be part of a card, so they worked really well with what I had in mind:

Stamp sets are Beautiful You, Verve; You&Me & Birthday Script, CTMH; Patterned paper is Wings; Cardstock is Creme Brulee, Tulip & Chocolate; Ink is Chocolate; Corduroy brads - all CTMH;

Mojo Monday #190

I love this week's Mojo sketch!  And it just happens to be designed by my fellow H2H design team member, Debbie Carriere, which makes it even better :o)  I really adore the You & Me kit that is available in May, so I decided to use it with the sketch - don't you love the ribbon?

Patterned papers, ribbon, chipboard & stamp set are You & Me; Cardstock is Chocolate, Smoothie & Colonial White; Inks are Creme Brulee & Chocolate; buttons - all CTMH.  Twine - The Twinery; Nestabilities die.

Color Throwdown Challenge #139

I'm so glad to be playing the Color Throwdown Challenge again - I've just been too busy the past few weeks... but when I saw this week's colour combo, I knew exactly what I'd use.  Here's a sneak peak at the May "You & Me" promo kit, using this week's colours:

Patterned papers & Stamp set are You & Me (May promo kit); Inks are Chocolate & Creme Brulee; Cardstock is Colonial White, Smoothie, Bamboo, Chocolate & Garden Green; - all CTMH.
