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

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU! Coffee Break Suite including: Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups dies and Coffee Break DSP and coordinating card stock (Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz) SU! French Foliage stamp set Paper Pumpkin March 2018 "May Good Things Grow" stamp set (for the Happy Birthday) CTMH Gold Pearls Forever in Time natural burlap tape
