Here's a birthday card that I made to play along with this week's <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2013/10/case-this-sketch-49.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">CAS(E) this Sketch</span></a> challenge. I had other plans for these hexagons but after seeing this sketch I decided to play around with the orientation and this is what I ended up with. A simple but fun masculine card...<br />

Life has been keeping me so busy that I haven't had much time to do any crafting lately. I'm pretty much backed up on all my crafting projects, including Project Life. Oddly, I'm not worried as I know someday I'll catch up...or at least that's what I keep telling myself. :) <br />

Here's the card that I made to play along with this week's <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2013/09/case-this-sketch-44.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">CAS(E) this Sketch</span></a> challenge. I made this card earlier in the week and forgot to post it...life just took over. In fact, I have a couple of cards that I've made for CAS(E) this Sketch weekly challenges that I never got to post! <br />
<br />

Although this picture doesn't do justice to the card, I actually used the colors from this week's <a href="http://prettypinkposh.com/2013/09/10-minute-craft-dash-25.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">10 Minute Craft Dash #25</span></b></a> challenge. Unfortunately, it took me more than 10 mins to finish this card as I was having a hard time incorporating the brown. <br />
<br />
Here's the photo of the challenge sketch and the Craft Dash colors:<br />

15 years ago we were entrusted with the most precious gift, our beautiful daughter Sumitra! I am not sure what we did to deserve such a blessing, but we are truly honored to be your parents. Happy Birthday Sweet Pea! <br />
<br />
I made this card using this week's sketch challenge from <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2013/08/case-this-sketch-43.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">CAS(E) this Sketch</span></a><span style="color: #3d85c6;">!</span> I wanted this card to be simple, fun, colorful as well as vibrant and the sentiment on this banner truly describes my daughter. I actually had plans for this banner in my Project Life album but decided to use it on this card as I was trying to use a non traditional sentiment. <br />

As always, I have a hard time embellishing masculine cards. I couldn't decide what to use so I colored a few of the wood veneer stars with the same blue ink as I used for the sentiment. They turned out a bit darker because of the wood texture but it worked just fine. <br />

Happy Happy Happy 13th Birthday Ajay! Yikes...2 teenagers in the house! I'm bracing really hard for this ride! <br />
<br />
My inspiration for this card came from this week's challenge from <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2013/06/freshly-made-sketches-91-sketch-by-cindy.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Freshly Made Sketches</span></a>, </span>challenge #91. I love the simplicity of this sketch, it can be interpreted in so many different ways. I used out an old collection but one of my all time favorites, Rocket Age from October Afternoon. <br />

Here's a simple Father's Day card that I made to play along with this week's <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2013/06/cts-32.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">CAS(E) this Sketch</span></a> challenge. Masculine cards are still a challenge for me...go figure! This was the card that I gave to my dad. I used the Awesome collection from Simple Stories, added some twine, rain dots sentiment from the sticker collection and this card was done! Quick and simple...<br />

Here's wishing a very Happy Father's Day to my darling husband...you are truly the sunshine in our lives! <br />
<br />
This is the Father's Day card that I made for my husband. I decided to challenge myself again to make a card for a special occasion without using a traditional sentiment. In other words, I didn't want my sentiment to say "Happy Father's Day!". A very simple, yet fun card...exactly what I intended to create! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sentiment is from Hero Arts and the Sunburst stamp is from <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://www.neatandtangled.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Neat and Tangled.</span></a> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Happy Happy Birthday to my beautiful, caring, loving and most compassionate niece, Neena!<br />
<br />
Here is a card that I made for Neena's birthday. I played along with this week's <a href="http://prettypinkposh.com/2013/06/10-minute-craft-dash-19.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">10 Minute Craft Dash</span></a> challenge from <a href="http://prettypinkposh.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Pretty Pink Posh</span></a>. It's ironic because it was Neena who helped me with my last 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge which ended up winning the challenge for that week. Now here I am playing along with a card for her! <br />
<br />
Anyway, this was a fun card to create! The minute I saw these colors I thought of the Hip-Hooray collection from My Mind's Eye. This card took me 7:53 minutes to create!<br />
<br />

So what do you do when you get new stamps in the mail? You find a reason to make a card! Well actually I did have a reason, I needed a birthday card for my nephew. My new stamps are from <a href="http://www.neatandtangled.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Neat and Tangled</span></a> that I bought using a gift card I won from a challenge a while back. My favorite part of this happy mail was the personalized thank you note from the owner, Danielle. That extra touch goes a long way and makes you feel appreciated as a customer. <br />
<br />
This birthday card is very simple using washi tape and <a href="http://www.neatandtangled.com/collections/frontpage/products/across-the-card" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">this</span></a> stamp set from their current month's new release. It's very simple but very age appropriate. <br />

I am truly humbled and feel completely blessed that God has entrusted two precious gifts in my care. My kids have taught me the meaning of true love, true happiness and most importantly, all about selfless giving. Here's wishing all moms a very, very Happy Mother's Day! <br />

This is the card that I made for my mom for Mother's Day.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a birthday card that I made for a sweet 1 year old baby girl. I wanted this card to be colorful, vibrant, fun and festive, so I decided on this party hat shaped card. Shaped cards are fun to make and perfect for little kids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My inspiration for this card came from the cover of a <a href="http://www.papercraftsconnection.com/blog/2012/10/world-card-making-day-birthday/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Card Creations, Vol. 10</span></a> magazine that I won from a <a href="http://www.moxiefabworld.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Moxie Fab</span></a> challenge last year. This issue is filled with lots of great inspiration. </div>

Here is a clean and simple birthday card that I created using a K&Company sentiments vellum sticker pad. When I first saw this pad, I knew immediately that I could use them for cards. I fell in love with the sentiments and fonts as they reminded me of actual stamps that I had seen online. This is a no fuss, no stamping, so quick and so, so simple card. I can't wait to use more of these stickers on cards. <br />

It's always hard for me to photograph my cards whenever I use an embossing plate for the second layer. I think you get the idea though! :)</div>

I miss playing along in challenges, so today I tried to squeeze in some time to make a quick card. Here is the card that I made to play along with this week's <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://casestudychallenge.blogspot.ca/2013/04/case-study-challenge-136.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">CASE Study Challenge.</span></a> </span>It's very simple and can even be used as a masculine card. <br />

Here is a card that I made for a friend's wedding. I almost always use my favorite PTI's Congrats stamp, cream cardstock, along with a big beautiful cream bow for wedding cards. This time I challenged myself to do something different. I used the Shutterbug Special stamp set from PTI, cream cardstock (just had to) and no bow! So here is what I came up with... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_lIirZ97q2mdvtat-rnLHgofqbFCOyevNuhf5fY8om3t_nfsOJDaCVkoHgB9Cl552dZJi2YuJodj1erPbVPSoAI2UWOURx8AtxbSyjvfUbqS0cwQDkCTM9O41m1ktCJ-v-lTY1j5C2qg/s1600/DSC_8065.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_lIirZ97q2mdvtat-rnLHgofqbFCOyevNuhf5fY8om3t_nfsOJDaCVkoHgB9Cl552dZJi2YuJodj1erPbVPSoAI2UWOURx8AtxbSyjvfUbqS0cwQDkCTM9O41m1ktCJ-v-lTY1j5C2qg/s640/DSC_8065.jpg" width="520" /></a></div>
This looks very simple for a wedding card, but it's actually quite elegant in real life. It was also a bit hard for me to photograph since I was trying to capture the embossing on the second layer. I used dimensional adhesive on both layers, added the LOVE brad along with a few black pearls.<br />
<br />
Here is the pullout sentiment behind the camera...<br />

Look who's blogging today! I'm sharing a bridal shower card that I made for a friend last week. It's a very simple card using one of my favorite stamps from Ali Edwards. My inspiration for this card came from the gift box that I used for the gift. I originally planned to add some butterflies to the card but ended up using pearls instead. <br />

Here is a quick and simple masculine birthday card that I made last week. I wasn't able to post it then since the recipient didn't receive it as yet. I distressed the edges on the top layers to create a more rough and tough look then added the green banners just for a pop of color. <br />
