AHSC #108

At work today, I found out that my friend's dog was killed by an impaired driver over the weekend. She cried when she told me, and then we both cried together :( So sad.

Tonight, when I thought about doing this week's sketch challenge (over at AHSC), I wanted to make her a card to let her know I was thinking of her.  It's tough to lose a pet, no matter what - but I knew these two were the best of friends.

Inspiration: 


Interpretation:


I used PML Skylark for the sentiment and block of patterned paper and a Recollections doily.  The ribbon is from SU! Everyday Enchantment Organdy in Lucky Limeade. I used White Daisy cardstock for the base, and (Dollarama?!) chocolate brown that I embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots.  I also distressed the edges with the CTMH edge distresser.

    Oh, I'm so sorry about your friend. Losing a pet is never easy.
    Your card is beautiful and I'm sure your friend will appreciate it.
    Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

    How sweet to make a card for your friend, as losing a family pet is always a sad time. Thanks for sharing with us at AHSC.

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with:  I made it in the school colours (red and gray).  This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle
