Sketch Saturday #126 & Nutcrafters

I just got these fun little images in from Nutcrafter's and I couldn't wait to show them off. This is one of my first choices and I think she is so cute. I don't have a shower or no of a new baby on the way but I wish I did so I could send this one out. I used the Sketch Saturday challenge sketch this week and it worked wonderful. I wasn't so sure I would like this one but it looks great. Hope you enjoy it too.

Thanks for stopping,
Kathy

Friday Sketch Challenge #112

Hi everyone,
Well, I am making my way back. I did some cards this week. Yes!!! This week I am hoping to get to some great challenges and I am starting with this one. I Thought I was being clever and combining a challenge with my DT project for the week for Nutshells, but I forgot that they have a challenge this week which is anything but a card. I made a card....lol. Well, I have another item I made after this and will post it next. I used my new cute princess stamps from Nutcrafters. I wanted to use a bit different coloring and I though this worked. I also followed this great sketch from Jeanette for Friday Sketch.

Materials:
Stamps: Nutcrafters, Amuse
Papers: SU Coral, Real Rust, DP-Basic Gray

NutCrafters Fun

Well, it seems that I have just been "out of it". I haven't stamped in about a week and a half and I am away for the weekend. I hope to get back on track next week and do some challenges and start hitting and visiting some blogs. I have been fighting with what I thought to be strep throat and now have found out it is some kind of nose think. Hopefully the, very strong, drugs they put me on will do the trick. I made this card about 2 weeks ago for my neighbor. She has a grandson that just got his divers license. Hope you like it. I ended coloring his hair brown. I waited til I know the color of her grandson's hair.

Nutshells Challenge #20

This bi-weekly challenge, USE A MOJO MONDAY SKETCH, is a fun one. I hope you like it. I used one of the Mojo Monday sketches from last week. I got the dates mixed up and thought I needed to get this one out last week. I still think it will work. I really liked the sketch but I did modify it a bit because I turned it into a A2 card instead of a square. I LOVE the square cards but I know that it will be cheaper to send this way.
I used my new stamp from Nutcrafters that is not even out in their store yet, so if you like it keep looking back it will be out soon. It is from their Ice cream collection. I love ice cream treats...how about you. Great for a card to the girfriends.

Materials:
Stamps: Nutcrafters, Lizzie Anne
Papers: SU Pretty in Pink, black, DP-basic gray
Embellishments: ribbon, copics


Thanks,

Friday Sketch/Nutcrafters

Just a quick entry. I forgot all about adding this today and I am on my way out the door. I made this card last night for the Friday Sketch Challenge and for my DT in Nutcrafters. Make sure to check both out. The challenges are great and Nutcrafers has a great assortment of images.

Nutshells Challenge #18/Saturday Sketch #107

Oh, how cute this little image is. It is from Nutcrafter's and worked out perfectly for their great Challenge this week, Father's Day card. There are a group of 3 wonderful images that work perfect for Father's Day. My father passed away about 17 years now so I wasn't too interested in this challenge at first but then I thought.....I have 6 great brothers who are all excellent fathers. I will have to send this to one of them. I am also entering this in the Saturday Sketch Challenge. I love a good sketch and this one is great. I was challenged with the punches on the bottom. I didn't want anything to girly but I ended up liking these together.

Nutcrafters/Saturday Sketch #106

This is one of my great images from Nutcrafters. I am always in need of great Wedding Cards and I think this one turned out great. I love the sentiment that I just got from Amuse. I have seen several great cards using these sentiments on others blogs that I had to go check them up. I bought 4 new ones and could have gone for more.....CONTROL. I will be back.
I use the sketch on Saturday Sketch challenge blog. I changed it up a bit but think it is close enough to enter.
Hope you all have a fabulous, wonderful weekend! If you have any questions feel free to email me. I will be including my email on my sidebar soon.

Hugs,
Kathy

Nutshells Challenge #17/Friday Sketch #104

Hi everyone, this week for the nutshells challenge it was anything goes. We were free to create anything that we liked. I chose this great image, Pink Frosting that is now available in the stores as a Stamp set. This set was so popular that they decided to offer it in stamp form and not just a digi. I chose to go with a color some what different from the Pink Name just to mix it up a bit. Make sure to hope on over the the Nutshell blog and join us this week. We will have the challenge open until June 15th so there is plenty of time to get that card done.
I also combined this challenge with the Friday Sketch challenge #104. Hope I did Tanja proud.

Materials:
Stamps: Pink Frosting
Papers: SU pumpkin pie, MME-dp, SU-dp
Embellishments: eyelets

Thanks,
Kathy
