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. 

Kit Fail Part 2

   Sorry for the delay on part 2 of this Mother's Day layout. This time I used the right side of the sketch from Scrap Our Stash and the elements for the challenge. 

    Here is the reveal, I am sorry again for the fuzzy photo. It has been a while since I photographed layouts so I am a little rusty.

Supplies: pattern paper (Pebble Inc., Echo Park Paper Co., and Crate Paper, die cuts (Echo Park Paper Co., and Studio G), stickers (Echo Park Paper, Co., Fancy Pants Designs, A Beautiful Mess, and Carta Bella), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps),flair (Pretty Little Studio), washi tape (The Paper Studio)

   This is a summer sequin mix that I have had for a couple of years, I am still in love with it. 

   

   Here are the left and right side pages together. 

April SID Reveal

   Sorry, for the delay in my Stick It Down reveal post. A quick family "trip" came up last week so everything got pushed to the back burner.  The term "trip" is in quotes since it involved surgery for my Dad.  

   It is time for April's card sketch reveals at Stick It Down, this month is one that I created. 

   Here is the card that I created. It is a birthday card for my uncle, who lives by the beach so I thought this would be perfect for him. 

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper and die cuts (KaiserCraft), and sequins (SpeigelMom Scraps) 

   This month's sponsor is SpiegelMom Scraps, I used silver star sequins on this card. Who said, sequins can't go on guy cards? 

Oct. Card Stick It Down Reveal

   This month's sketch at Stick It Down was one of my first sketches that I created for them. It is something simple but works with any style of card. 

   This month we teamed up with the challenge blog White... With One. Their color this month is elephant grey. They're using our sketches and we're using 75% white on our pages with a touch of grey. Be sure to read their rules HERE and play along with both challenges. Two for one! How fun!

   Here is my card. 

 Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (My Mind's Eye), sequins (Fancy Pants Designs and SpeigelMom Scraps), stamp (Simon Says Stamp), stamp tool (MISTI), washi tape (Scotch Expressions), die cut (Bella Blvd.), and ink (Tsukineko)

   Here is a closer look. I hand cut the negative spaces in the bottom pattern paper.
