Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #72

I combined two challenges when making this card . . . the first challenge was one on an awesome community I'm part of called StampNation.  I've met some awesome ladies as a part of this group . . . and this week's challenge was to make a monochromatic card.  I decided to use the Sketchbook Saturday Challenge when creating, and here is what I ended up with.

First . . . the sketch . . .

And then my creation . . .

Monochromatic indeed!  I'm super happy with the way this turned out . . . with thanks to my friend Katie who loaned me some items from her stash! (I may have to keep them.) 

Red makes me happy! 

(O.K. . . . most colors make me happy.  Cut me some slack!)
 

Freshly Made Sketches #47

So if I'm going to get back in the game after taking some off from being all crafty, might as well get two cards done in one night using the same product.

Played along with Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Here is the sketch . . .

And here is my design . . .

And the inside . . .

Supplies Used:  Cardstock and Wicked Fun Specialty paper from Stampin' Up; Ink and Markers from Stampin' Up; Die Cuts from Sizzix/Stampin' Up, Wicked Cool and Out on a Limb Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up

Back in the Groove w/Mojo Monday

I just realized it has been nearly two weeks since I have posted anything on my blog.  I have been so busy with work and a little weekend away (last weekend) that I was out of commission on crafting.  But I'm trying to get myself back into the groove . . . so why not try a little Mojo Monday on for size.  Here is the sketch . . .

And here is my Halloween creation, the outside . . .

And the inside . . .

And here is a little close up to show a little dimension . . .

Supplies Used:  Cardstock and Wicked Fun Specialty paper; Die Cuts from Stampin' Up, Ribbon from Stampin' Up, Tricky Treats, Out on a Limb, and It's a Wrap Holiday Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up.
