Hello, Hello you crafty chica’s… I’m back on this Saturday morning over on the Sketch Saturday Blog and this week our sponsor is Crafty Sentiments Designs.

For my design I choose FiFi Bubbles… I think she is so adorable and she has my nickname FiFi. To color my images I felt like I pulled out my entire Copic collection. I used some pattern papers from My Minds Eye: Necessities Wood 6×6 paper and Jellybean Soup: Blossom 6×6 paper. I adhered the pattern papers onto a Neenah Solar White A2 Top-Fold Card Base and the art piece was adhered onto MFT Cheery Crisp cardstock. To finish up my card I added a few enamel dots in various colors.
Thank you for stopping by don’t forget to see what the other Design Team members created.

Hello my crafty friends……. It’s a beautiful Sunday morning here in So. California. It’s been a great weekend so far. I’ve been doing what I love most crafting all weekend long. I went to Susan’s card class yesterday and today I’m off to Shannon’s card class this afternoon. It’s good times for sure just sitting around chit-chatting with crafty friends. What a life! I’m actually going to get a few challenges in this weekend yippee this girl love’s herself some challenges. You know me my favorite is Freshly Made Sketches. I’m playing along this week with Rita’s sketch and this one was a bit of a challenge for me hint, hint note challenge.
A few weeks ago I saw a card made by Amy Rysavy on her blog she talked about using things that’s in her stash. I CASed her card a little and decided to go deep into my stash. I think what I like most was her use of a stencil….
Here we go I pulled out the Simon Says Stamp Bouquet of Flowers Stencil. I then blended my distress inks Spun Sugar, picked Raspberry and Festive berries for the Tulips onto a Neenah Solar White cardstock. The leaves was blended with Shabby shutters and mowed lawn. I used the Altenew Thanks stamp set for my sentiment and some sequins from my stash of Lucy’s Little Things Rose Gold.


Crafty Supplies:
Stamp: Altenew Many Thanks
Paper: Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Wild Wasabi (SU)
Ink: Hero Arts Intense Black
Accessories: Lucy’s Little Things Sequins Rose Gold
Hope you like my take on this weeks sketch.

Happy Monday my crafty peeps….. I’m playing over on the Paper Players blog this evening the theme is Halloween this week.. I had this one from a previous challenge so I’m going to enter it in this challenge as well I think it fits in perfectly with the theme. I’m mixing it up a little going way back and mixing some old with the new. I got some new goodies from the Stamping Up Christmas Catalog. I used the Owl punch get it that’s the old with some new Halloween DSP paper and the Pumpkin Pie Shimmer paper is awesome. I kinda wanted a creepy smoky look so I took some Ranger Black Smoot and blended it on the mats….. it looks smoky to me.. It’s a rap hope you like my take on the sketch. So I hope I get to create another card this week that’s Halloween theme… enjoy the rest of the week and I’ll be back later in the week.

Happy Sunday Eve,
I spent Friday and Saturday up in LA at a Copic Coloring Workshop and on Friday evening my sister and I drove over to LA for a concert it was a great girls date night.
Well as promised I’m her to show you some of my photo projects from class.. and later in the week I’ll post my weekly card project.
First Photo is my latest class project : Landscape This Cute little shop is located here in Escondido it’s a lovely place for a paper crafter such as myself… I happen to design their Stamp of the Month Cards and next month I’ll be teaching my first class there. I’m sooooooo excited!!!

Second Photo was for a Portrait Project.. I decided to do an excerpt on the guys that work in the warehouse at my job… They are the hardest working guys I know this photo was actually displayed in the student gallery at school.

My final photo was part of A Public Experiment in Text + Photography In Which 74 Artists And Writers Play a Giant Game Of Telephone. – This Photo was part of the Oceanside Art Walk this past Friday night my entire class had our work on display… My part in the text game was to take a photo of (An abandoned building, dark corner creepy, drug dealers cold hang out on the corner around this building.) The Exhibition on View Nov 6 – Dec 4, 2015. If your local go check it out.

Well folks.. hoping you had a blessed day, I’m closing for now.. I’ll be back on Wednesday! Have a great week!
