Thanks using scraps and a sketch

This is the other card I had made prior to NSD for some festivities. I used scraps laying around my scraproom, some paint for the blue cardstock and some LOVELY cork pieces, tiny clothespin and ribbon from SpiegelMomScraps. Here was the sketch we were given at SpiegelMomScraps Facebook page. Don't forget, before you check out at SpiegelMomScraps, be sure and use coupon code Charity10 to save on your whole order!

And here is what I came up with. I LOVE this card! I hope the person I mailed it to smiles when she sees it! The doodling was done with a Sakura Souffle pen in yellow. I've been using all of my Sakura pens more on my cards and layouts since I started using them in my planner as well. I love those pens! I also broke out some thickers I hadn't used in a while. They are from one of the Dear Lizzy Collections, I just love that fat font!

Thanks to you for stopping by today. I posted a couple of haul videos last week that you might want to watch, my monthly Clique Kits haul as well as a haul from Paper Issues, and guess what, Paper Issues commented on the video with a coupon code for everyone!

                                      

   
                                        

Catching up 5-6

I am so sorry to everyone that I wasn't able to participate in the 2015 NSD events. I hadn't scheduled my post to go up for the blog hop, and I had to leave town because my father was very ill. He passed away on May1. I had several projects ready to share with you for the weekend and I'll be sharing those starting today.

This was my take on the sketch you can find at the SpiegelMomScraps facebook page, I really enjoyed using this sketch created by my fellow Sparkler Kat Benjamin. Jody, the owner of SpiegelMomScraps posted this layout on fb the other day for me, but I wanted to make sure you saw it! It's made with the Pinkfresh Studo's Up in the Clouds collection, I also doodled around the edges of the black cardstock with a Sakura Gel Pen and I wanted to make sure it showed up in the photo, that's why you see the floor as well. That vellum is from Webster's pages and the cork, washi and gold doilies are from SpiegelMomScraps. I AM LOVING the cork shapes, I have more projects coming up featuring them. Not sure how many of you might recognize them, but there are some Sassafras Lass stickers on this layout, I dug into my secret stash, I'm trying hard not to be a hoarder.

SMS supplies on this layout:
Gold Doily (I painted over it with pink chalk paint for the effect in the layout)
Cork Butterfly
Cork Heart
Cork Cloud
Washi Tape

What did you do for NSD? I hope you had a blast!
