C4C537-sketch challenge

Hello Friends!

Week three of the Crazy4challenges blog challenge is always a sketch challenge.

I love sketch challenges!

Here is the sketch:

And...here's the card that I came up with using the sketch.

I turned it sideways and used the grid dies from The Stamps of life.

The stamps are from the Corgis2stamp set.

I hope you will check out what the rest of the team came up with and  maybe even give it a try yourself!

Thanks for stopping by!

One Sheet Wonder= Wonderful cards!

Something about the new tropical2stamp and solids4tropical stamps inspired me to make some One Sheet Wonder cards!

I haven't done this in years and it was so fun I know I'll be doing it again!

To make one sheet wonder cards you just keep adding different stamps to a piece of cardstock until your've created your own patterned paper.

I started with a small flower.

I added the larger flower

Then I added some leaves

I randomly stamps aloha.

Then I started the process of stamping on the color.

It's starting to look great!

Once I had a finished piece of cardstock I cut it up to create tons of quick and easy cards.

Here is a closer look at some of them.

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration!

Thanks

Yesterday was Administration Professionals Day!

I work with a few fantastic Admin's and wanted to give them a little Thanks!

I made little signs to stick in the Bundlets that I bought them.

I used the Sizzix Mini Card Thanks Sentiment die.

I cut out the Thanks is 6 different colors and then cut them apart to create these fun signs.

I used Shish Kabob sticks which I glued to the back of the words.

I used the new Extra Large Bow die and just taped across the back to the stick.

And then finally I added a little tag cut with the dotted tag dies.

 Here is a closer look at one of the Bundlets.

I left one on each persons desk for them to see when they came in to work.

Everyone loved them and I hope you do to!
