Right where you should be

This fun card was for a sweet sunday sketch and a few world card making day challenges. The fun just keeps on going! I did the untity challenge to make a shaker card and Ellen Hudson's challenge to Glitz it up.
Here is my card

Can you see the shaker part? Well for this one my plan was to use dazzling diamonds, but I am almost out, so I had to improvise. I busted out the irrodecent ice. It worked just the same, which was tons of fun.

I hadn't made a shaker in quite some time, but it was a good time. Love the ribbon as well and the dsp was from the spring mini catalog. It has all kinds of bright colors, but I like I can also do this type of color scheme as well.

It's a good life!

Happy Birthday

Don't you just love the colors on this weeks curtain call challenge? I don't always get to play during the week, but I was able to whip up this fun card for my Dad's birthday.
I combined it with the fun Sweet Sunday sketch challenge from Karen. This week you had to go back through all of the old sketches and pick your favortie. That was fun as well. I actually have a few more I want to do as well. I will keep you posted on that.

Here is my creation

What do you think? I am loving the soft suede on saraha sand. It is so much fun. I did keep the top simpler than the sketch, hopefully it will be fine. The last little tip I found on a blog was about layering with the PTI dies. Some said to flip the die over and trace it on your paper then cut and the result would be a fun layer. Wow am I loving this suggestion! I also love the pop the black layers gave this card.

It's a good life!

Star Bright

I am excited about the card for today. After lurking for a very long time, I finally am putting a card together for the Sweet Sunday sketch found below.
Here is the color combo I paired it with from OTWC

Here is my creation

Well, what do you think? It was fun to pull out this set and play along a little. It is called Take a Bough from PTI. I turned the branch upright and made it a Charlie Brown type of tree. This sentiment is one of my favorites and I have never used it. Oh the shame. The details added to the card to make it work for me are stickles on the stars, one rounded corner, scoring along the side and some sweet blush satin ribbon.

I also combined this with the Simplicity One-Layer Wednesday challenge. When I saw these colors I thought it would be a fun twist on the challenge. Hope you enjoy!

It's a good life!
