diva sketch challenge

good morning. did everyone survive their thanksgiving dinner and the black friday shopping? i enjoyed dinner, but do not like shopping so i wasn't anywhere near all those crazy people. :)

you may see today's sketch here on the udi site.

i absolutely love the aviary set. i was at a friend's house last weekend and i got to play with her set. i made a cute little blue bird in a silver cage. i then played with her lace border punch and didn't have it lined up correctly, but i liked the outcome and left it the way it was. i frayed the striped ribbon, added a pin, tag and tiny blue ribbon to finish it off. the picture doesn't do much for it, but it is adorable in real life.

enjoy the rest of your weekend and be sure to skip over and see what adriana has made for you today also.

happy thanksgiving everyone. enjoy this lovely holiday with your family and friends. you may see maria's inspiration picture by clicking on the udi link here.

instead of one crappy card, you get two crappy cards today. they were made at two different times and i'm not happy with either one of them. check back on saturday though cuz i love that card.

i made today's sketch on udi landscape instead of portrait. isn't it cool that you can make subtle little changes and still keep the sketch intact? a quick and simple card except for the crazy cutting of the holly, which i feel so possessed to do. :) the holly is also spritzed with shimmer paint and alcohol. i just love how it gives you a subtle sparkle.

skip on over to see what adriana has created for you today. i just know you're going to love it because she has so much talent.

I'm not quite sure where this week has gone, but suddenly it is thursday and time for maria's inspiration challenge on udi. after enjoying another lovely week of indian summer we are now slowing getting into winter. while i'm not crazy about the 'transition' i do love winter itself with lots of snow. :)

maria's choice of picture today is perfect for ending the autumn season. . . a lovely colorful tree. i didn't even try to capture the beauty of the picture of a tree full of leaves. instead i made a tree with falling leaves and a little red bird sitting on a branch.

stop by the udi blog and click on the other team member's names to see their projects as well. :)

we enjoyed another indian summer week here and now the winds of change are upon us again. :) i love it.

it's a pretty straight forward sketch today, but i put a twist on it anyway. i discovered the poppy parade color this week. didn't give it much thought and then i was looking through my card stock and it just hit me. :)

enjoy your weekend and have fun skipping from blog to blog for the rest of the team creations on udi. you may click here to get to adriana's blog.

after having memory stick and camera issues for a couple of weeks i'm happy to say the issues have been resolved.
i love todays picture on udi that maria has chosen for the inspiration challenge. the possibilities are endless for this idea. i chose to show an embossed, serene winter tree scene and use the soft hot chocolate and cinnamon colors for my card. it is hard to tell from the picture but the tree panel has been sprayed with shimmer paint/alcohol mix for added sparkle. i think the simplicity of this card could be used for any occasion and you could also switch out the colors.

be sure to check out what the rest of the team has created. :)

after being gone for a while with camera issues i'm up and running again. i almost had to buy a new camera. do you know they now make cameras that you can email and post to social networks right from the camera?. that blew me away. i think my camera was made in the dark ages. wow.

as i was stamping my card yesterday (for the weekly udi sketch challenge) we had our first flurries of the season so i was inspired to make a snowflake card. i used the platinum shimmer paint with the serene snowflakes and shimmer and silver cardstock.

i'm a bit rusty stamping right now. better get in some more practice.

enjoy your weekend. we're going to have a chilly one here in michigan.

stop by and see what adriana has made for you next.
