September Stick It Down Reveal

   I usually create cards is colors based on the time of the year that they are given but I can say this card broke that rule. The card sketch for this month at Stick It Down had me feeling like it was spring. 

   As you can see this card is full of spring vibes. I am still using it for an upcoming anniversary. 

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Echo Park Paper Co.), stickers and chipboard (Echo Park Paper Co.), die cuts (Pinkfresh Studios), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps), doily (DoodleBug Designs), enamel dot (Echo Park Paper Co.), stamp (Concord & 9th), ink (Close To My Heart) 

   Since this is a card that is being hand given I used a chipboard piece. I just love buffalo check and I am so happy that I got this stamps last year during a Black Friday Sale. 

   Now, since the card is done, I probably should figure out my parent's anniversary gift since it is in less than 2 weeks.

   Hope everyone had a nice Independence Day. Here in Michigan, it was another super hot and humid day so staying inside with the AC was a must. 

   When I saw this sketch from Let's Get Sketchy, I knew what photo was going to be used.

   Here is my take. I used mostly my petite kit from The Wild Hare Kit club.  However, I did add some items from my stash like the wood veneer, aryclics, flair, and adventure theme die cuts. 

   Here is a closer look. 

My dad has very few photos of him growing up. I scanned the original and edited the photo since it was super dark. The bike die cut was original pink so I ended up coloring to fit the page better. 

I love this little cluster,

   Last month was the yearly making of Packzi, baked filled doughnuts.  I try to document this baking treat every year. It is the only time of the year there are doughnuts in the house. 

Supplies: pattern paper (Crate Paper and American Crafts), stickers (Fancy Pants Designs, Pink Paislee, A Beautiful Mess and Pink Fresh), ephemera (Canvas Corps.), doily (DoodleBug Designs), flair (Clique Kits), die cuts (Pretty Little Studio), frames (Crate Paper and Heidi Swapp), tools sewing machine and Minc) and sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps)

   Here is a closer look. I am loving the mirror stickers.

   I love the splatter, sequins scatter and the mix sewing machine stitching.
