A WCMD Sketch Card

I placed a small order on Saturday from Limelight to celebrate World Card Making Day and would you believe I got it in the mail today?! Quick shipping! Since Wednesday is my day off, I decided to use my new paper and stamps. I made this card for the Unity WCMD Sketch Challenge. You can find the challenge here if you're interested in playing along. This new paper from Jillibean Soup is so cute -- I love these little monsters! And the Unity stamp just goes perfect with the paper!

Back to work tomorrow. Only two days until Saturday! :)

Limelight and Unity

Hi all! Thanks to World Card Making Day, I actually have something to post on my blog! This is a card that I did using the Limelight Papercrafts sketch and also doing a Unity challenge to use stitching on my card.

I hope everybody enjoyed their WCMD. Hopefully I'll have some more cards to post soon!

A Lovely Saturday

It's a lovely Saturday today. It's cloudy and looks like rain. It's in the low 50's (for now). I have work outside that I need to do today...but it's still a lovely Saturday...because I don't have to go to work! HA! Actually, my new job isn't bad. It's completely different from what I was doing before, though, so it's just taking a little bit of adjusting.
I didn't make anything this week, but have a card I didn't share yet. I used Jillibean Soup paper and a Unity stamp (I really only own Unity and Stampin' Up, in case you didn't notice. It's on my shopping list to buy more from different companies!). The bottom tv I cut out and covered with UTEE to give it the look of a tv screen.

Enjoy your weekend!

Busy, Busy Blog

My blog has been awfully busy this week! That's because my husband has been gone and he left me to my own devices...what else is there to do but stamp?? After two weeks, he is coming home today. YAY! He's going to have a very hard time reclaiming his side of the bed, as I have taken to sleeping smack dab in the middle. But that's what he gets for leaving me alone for so long, right? :) So here are two challenge cards that I have made. The first is for the Limelight sketch challenge. I flipped the sketch on it's side.

I used Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday paper and a Unity stamp from Another Sweet Day. 
The second challenge card is for the Basic Grey challenge to use paper piecing. Paper piecing is my favorite method of "coloring" so this was right up my alley.

I used the Basic Grey paper Lime Rickey. The stamps are both from Unity (Love in the Air and Endings & Beginnings)
I'm sure that next week my blog won't be quite as busy since not only will my husband be home, but I start my new job! I hope you all enjoyed my week of blog posts (I think I only missed one day -- how insane!). Enjoy your long Labor Day weekend!
