diva sketch challenge

happy memorial weekend. thank a vet for serving your country.

i love the sketch for today and my card is simplicity plus. the purple inspired me, but i'll post about that in a day or two. i'm finding it extremely hard to believe that there is no dsp, ribbon, sparkle or glitter of any kind on my card. the only thing i did was emboss the images. sad, but true. well, we all have our moments.

enjoy your holiday weekend. skip on over to see what adriana has made for you today.

today's picture on udi is all about summer. what could be more perfect than these beautiful pieces of fruit on a sunny morning.

i pulled some of the colors from the picture, brightened them up a bit and made a candy flower. the pattern of the cantalope and the petals of the flower seemed to be somewhat consistent. that's my story anyway. the white was also run through the big shot texturz plate.

enjoy your day. it's been horrendously hot here in sw michigan for may. i think i want winter back. the older i get the more of a cold weather person i am.

hey hey hey, it's saturday. it's rainy here, but that's ok. doesn't this sketch look sort of like mickey mouse? how fun is that?
i was in a yellow mood so i used crushed curry accented with certainly celery. i gently sponged the flower from the pretties kit with the curry ink for a tint of color and added a little bling.


for those of you that already stopped by, sorry i forgot to link to adriana. here it is now.

it's thursday, which means another inspiration challenge on udi. the last time we had one of these red, black and white pictures it threw me for a loop. this time i knew just what i wanted to do.

i was originally going to make a top note quilt card and then decided to do a bit of a twist on it. i used the scallop circle die instead and made little pie wedges. i like how it turned out and hope you do too.

enjoy your day. :)

happy birthday to me. . . but the card is for someone else who also has a birthday.

i modified the sketch again this week ~ wow, two weeks in a row. what's with that?
anyway, i embossed and used my own special homemade dsp.

have a great weekend. now go see what adriana has done today. i missed her card last week and am glad she's back this week.

happy mother's day everyone. i hope you are having a good time with your loved ones this weekend. my mom is in illinois and i miss her a bunch.

you can see this week's sketch here. i had some issues this week. i knew what i wanted to do but was unable to complete it. i do not own the large cupcake, but i had some stamped images that i had done with a friend's set. unfortunately, at the time i needed them they had run away into the great unknown. so, i left the main focal image off of my card this week. hey, everyone else uses their creative license to mess with the sketches, so i can too. besides, it really doesn't look that bad. ;)

skip on over to see what alisa has made this week with the sketch.

enjoy your weekend. it looks to be a rainy one here again in sw michigan.

it's been a long time since i've used alot of glitter. sad when you think that i use to be known as the 'glitter queen.' i guess we all go through our phases. currently i am into ribbon and dsp. maybe some day . . .

today's picture on udi is so cute and simple. just a few colored daisies. i went with the flower theme and a bit of the color. hard to believe, but i left out the purple. i'm still trying to come to terms with the purples left in the new color renovation. i love the whole new program, but there are a few that i will definitely miss. anyway, enough about that, it's neither here nor there.

enjoy your day and thanx for taking a peek at my card. :)

it is may day and sketch saturday, all in one. have fun this weekend as you go about your activities.


i love this week's sketch and had alot of fun making my card. i hope you like it. i turned it sideways for my card.

do you ever have one of those light bulb moments and need to knock yourself upside the head? well that happened to me yesterday while i was jumping around the royal blog tour. ruthie, yes one of my team members, had the cutest little cherry card done in the 'black magic' or 'chalkboard' technique. now, i've seen this technique before but i just never quite got it. but, that light bulb went off yesterday and so i had to make my card using that technique today. let me know what ya think. the striped paper is the wedding dsp inked in elegant eggplant.


adriana is at a soccer tournament this weekend so jump on over to alisa's blog here to see her card this week.
see ya.
