Paper & Ink Sketches

Today's card was created using the Paper & Ink Sketch's sketch.  I have to admit, I was not a fan of this sketch when I first saw it.  BUT when I sat down to play with it, I ended up LOVING the way it turned out!!  Gotta love those little kitties from the Pretty Kitty stamp set!!  SO STINKING CUTE!! 

I TRIED to use patterned paper with these kitties, but found that it distracted from the kitties too much.  SO I ended up going with a more clean look and just went with Calypso Coral and Whisper White CS.   The sequins and pearls came from the Sprinkles Embellishments.  The beautiful Calypso Coral ribbon is in the Cupcakes & Carousels Embellishment kit.  LOVE that ribbon!!  

If you would like to play along with the sketch this week, head over to my FB page, Jen's Scrappy Pages.  The sketch challenge is open till next Tuesday the 14th and is open to anyone who would like to play along!!  I will hold a drawing on Wednesday for those who played along to win a fun little goodie to be sent to them!!

Paper & Ink Sketch #11 - Plus Occasions Sneak Peek!!

Cool Treats - Sneak Peek 

Happy Wednesday All!!  I am SO SO very excited about this card!!  I just LOVE the way it turned out and couldn't wait to share it with you!!  This was created using the Paper & Ink Sketch #11. 

 Normally, I stick to the original sketch as closely as I can.  BUT I REALLY wanted to use the NEW stamp set "Cool Treats", that will be released in the AMAZING NEW Occasions Catalog on January 4th.  SO I flipped it to make it a vertical card, instead of a horizontal card.  I kept all my measurements the same as the original sketch though.  

Card Dimensions: 

Whisper White CS - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (scored at 4 1/4), 2 1/4 x 4 1/4, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 (for the oval), scraps to stamp ice cream scoops on and cut out.

Pool Party CS - 4 x 5 1/4 

Watermelon Wonder CS - 2 1/2 x 4 1/4

Peekaboo Peach CS - 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 (for scalloped oval)

This card was SUPER quick to put together!!  I embossed the Pool Party CS using the NEW Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder, that will also be released on the 4h of January!!  The striped accent and popsicle accent are washi tape from the Tasty Treats Designer Washi Tape collection.  Are you excited for the new releases yet??!!  I know I am!!

Paper & Ink Sketches #10 - A Foxy Christmas

Hey there!!  You all know how I feel about my sketches, I LOVE them!!  SO I am thrilled to be able to bring you all a fun new sketch to follow!  This sketch was created by my 2nd upline Angie and I am so excited to be able to share with you too!!

When I follow sketches, I tend to stay pretty true to the sketch.  It's just how I am wired.  I would LOVE to be one of those "out of the box" thinkers, but I'm really not, if I am honest with myself!  lol  But that's OK!  I'm good with that.  Each of us is unique in the way we paper craft, and we are always learning from each other!

Mojo Monday 474 "Best Fishes"

Happy Wednesday All!!  A LOT has happened since my last post!  SO let me fill you in...

On Thursday, October 27th, I received an email from A Muse Studio announcing that the CEO was retiring and they were closing the company.  I was honestly stunned.  I had only been a consultant for 43 days.  43 days!!  I had resigned from CTMH with GREAT hopes of what I could do with the product line from A Muse Studio, only to find out that everything I had been promised with A Muse Studio was not going to happen.  I had invested quite a bit over that 43 days to build my "stash" and build my business with them, only to find out it was all for not.  What was I to do?  

Well, after the initial shock of the announcement, I talked it over with my hubby and friends and decided to sign back up with Stampin' Up!  I couldn't be happier with my choice and have found a new place I can call "home".  I have found SO much love and support in my new team and can't wait to see where this journey takes me!  

ANYHOO!!  Along with the change in companies, I am making some changes on my blog as well!!  For starters, I am going to start including the measurements for all the cards that I create!!  That way if you like what you see, you will be able to recreate it without guessing what I used on it OR what the measurements are for each piece.  I am also going to start making videos!!  But please bare with me as I find what works.

SO Here is the Mojo Monday sketch for this week....

And here is my card.  I just LOVE the "Jar of Love" stamp set and coordinating die set "Everyday Jars"!  There are SO many possibilities with this set and am having a BLAST creating with it!
