It's Wednesday Once Again!!!

The weeks go by so quickly!!  Mid February already and Valentine's Day tomorrow...  But today we kick off a new Sketch Challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  This week Krista Smith of Saturated Canary is our Sponsor.
Here is a little about Krista:


My name is Krista Smith. I am the artist behind the Etsy shop, Saturated Canary Digis. I began working in the stamping world when I was hired to create rubber designs for the sweet Scottish company, Sugar Nellie. They launched my artwork under the name 'Simply Sassy.' I moved into the digital world and-- I love it!! There is a little more freedom here, as I can create anything that pops into my head:)! I am so humbled by the artistic talent of the girls coloring in my designs-- it is truly an inspiration! Likewise, I am so thankful for the friendships I've made in this wonderful and lovely crafty community! It's been a true delight! I'd love for you to stop by my challenge/inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge and join in the fun...And, while you're there, click over to my personal blog (Saturated Canary) and introduce yourself! I am a bit eclectic and touch on everything from family (I've got me a great one!) to fashion (obsessed!)...Please say 'hi!'...I'd love to be friends!:)

Krista is offering 2 free digis  to the Winner of this week's Challenge!!

Here is this week's Sketch:

And here is my card:

I hope you will head on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and check out all the inspiration from our Design Team cards AND join us in the Challenge - I really love to see your creations!!

Blessings to you and Happy Valentine's Day!!

Sweet Sketch Wednesday...

I am at my family's Beach House in Pocasset, Cape Cod for two weeks and totally enjoying relaxing.  I can't believe that I have been napping daily - not like me but I guess I needed it!!  The weather has been Hot and Humid, but there is always a breeze in our side yard blowing in off the marsh.  A great reading spot on a hot summer's day.  Unfortunately, the humidity has kept me from crafting.  One year I tried and all my envelopes sealed themselves...  Live and learn...

Yesterday the humidity broke and I made a card I needed for a birthday using the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.   I used a cute image from Saturated Canary and colored her in with Copics.  The paper is from My Mind's Eye.  I added Bakers Twine from The Twinery, A pretty blue button from CtMH and some white shear ribbon to finish the card off.  The image is fussy cut and mounted with Pop Dots.

Unfortunately, but I guess fortunately, I am commuting up to work today through Thursday when my real vacation begins.  At least I have computer access to get this card posted... right?

Thanks so much for visiting my Blog!!

You Are My Sunshine

Tonight I made a card for two Challenges.  The Saturated Canary - Black & White + One!! and {Freshly Made} Sketches.  I used one of the Freebie images and chose Yellow as my + One!!
The Black papers are from My Mind's Eye - Meadow Lark 6x6 paper pad.  The yellow polka dot paper is from my stash.  The black ribbon and the sparkle - GLITZ Stardust glitter gel are both Close to My Heart.  The Sentiment is from LORi Boyd.  The image is colored with Copics.  I fussy cut her out and mounted her with Pop Dots.

Thanks so much for visiting my Blog =)

Big Birthday Wishes!!

Last night I made a card for a young "Tween" at my church.  I used a cute image from Saturated Canary - their Challenge this week is to add a bit of bling. I used the Sketch from Sketch Saturday.  I'm entering this card in both Challenges. 

I love this Sketch - perfect for adding "Bling"!!  The papers are from my stash (love using those scraps =).  The image is colored with Copics and then fussy cut and mounted with Pop Dots.  The chip board hearts are daubed with Petal Ink and then hi-lited with Add Glitz Glitter Gel - all Close to My Heart.  The "jewels" are also CtMH.

Thanks so much for visiting!!

Unscripted Sketches #164

One more birthday card today...  The sketch is from Unscripted Sketches.  I flipped the sketch making the card 4.25" x 5.5".  The image is Saturated Canary.  I used papers from My Mind's Eye - So Sophie - Graceful.  LOVE the colors in the paper pad!!  The image is colored with Copics, fussy cut, and mounted with Pop Dots.   I added tan polka ribbon from my stash and tied it in a bow.

Thanks for visiting - hope you are having a great weekend!!
 

A Day at the Beach =)

Couldn't wait to make this card late last night...  Sometimes I get these cards in my head and just have to get started...  does that happen to you fellow paper crafters???  I love seeing what it turns out to be in the end.  I must admit I am a bit tired this morning and am totally enjoying my coffee!!

The image of course is from the Saturated Canary.  Love, love, love this little girl!!  Having spent my summers growing up at the family beach house in Pocasset on Cape Cod, I was immediately drawn to this image =)  I used the sketch from {Freshly Made} Sketches and the color inspiration from The Color Throwdown.  I love the colors - my favorite combo is blue and yellow!!  (Must be the Swedish in me...).  I am also entering this card in the Papertake Weekly Challenge - 3-2-1 (3 buttons, 2 DP, 1 Image) and Saturated Canary - Anything Goes.  This is a first for me to enter one card in 4 Challenges...  but with out planning, they all seem to fit. 

Card Recipe: 

DP My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart - Be Amazing

CS - Close to My Heart

Image - Saturated Canary - colored with Copics

Thanks so much for stopping by - and don't forget your pail when you hit the beach this summer!!

Graduation Card

One more post for tonight.  I found a cute Graduate image at the Saturated Canary Shop and needed one more Grad card - so - I got right on it tonight.  The image is colored with Copics.  The DP is from Bo Bunny - Country Garden Collection.  I used ribbon and a pretty blue button from my stash.  The Sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and their sponsor is Saturated Canary =)  So, I am also entering this card in their Challenge - Anything Goes.




Keeping this post short as I am ready for SLEEEEP...

Good Night All...

Saturated Canary

Today I purchased a handful of images from Saturated Canary.  I have never used them before but find them fascinating.  I must admit I was not so sure I would be able to do them justice with my coloring, but for a first attempt I think they came out alright... 

The fist is a birthday card for my friends daughter.  She LOVES to read so I thought this image would be perfect.  The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I used papers from My Mind's Eye So Sophie - Graceful.  I colored the image with Copics and fussy cut her out and mounted her with Pop Dots.   The ribbon and flower are from my stash. 





I am entering this card in the following Challenges:

Tuesday Morning Sketches - Sketch
Saturated Canary - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes
