Why I Love Sketches...

 

 

 

Freshly Made Sketches

 

Happy Hump Day!!

Today I am playing a long

with a sketch from FMS

 

Here is this weeks sketch

Why I love card sketches?

It gives me a creative push

and get's creative MOJO started.

You can see I turned the sketch

to make this fun Holiday Card.

 

It's starting to fell a little like Fall

and you know what that means....

 

Halloween

Thanksgiving

Christmas

 

Cards....lots of cards!

Holiday Card Classes

Festivals and Craft Fairs too.

So you can see it's going to be busy season.

I hope I can inspire you

to get in the mood early!

 

This is a card we will be making

at my Upcoming Hobby Lobby Card Class

Halloween Card

 

Featuring some retired stamps from

last years Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog

"Googly Ghouls"

I was sad when this stamp set

did not make it into this catalog.

I'm waiting on an order with

some new holiday items.

It should be here next week.

I also learned a new Technique

this last week.

"Stamping with Painters Tape"

I think that's what they call it.

Here is a VIDEO to show you how it's done!

 

I had so much fun making this card.

I hope I have inspired you today!!

I have been missing in action.

I have had a bladder infection

and really bad fatigue.

You know when that happens

I lose my creative mojo.

Well after some rest and antibiotics

I'm feeling so much better

I found my creative mojo

and I'm back!

 

So much to get caught up with.

This year Stampin' Up!

retired a good portion of our

Holiday Sets. Which we all know

really sucked!

Well we have our

Holiday Catalog going live on

August 1st

just a few short weeks away.

 

 

Full of New Holiday fun!

I love it but am just a little

disappointed, was hoping for more

stamps but the collection of

goodies like paper, stamps

and embellishments

will have to do.

So I have decided to

dust off the cobwebs and

use my retired Holiday stamp sets!

They still Stamp and were looking

a little lonely. So there you have it!

So buckle your seat belts and join me

for Holiday Season fun of some

 New and Old fun!
