Hip Hip Hooray!

Here's a birthday card that I made to play along with this week's CAS(E) this Sketch 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...

Here's a photo of the sketch challenge:

Celebrate Your Love!

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. :)

This a card that I made to play along with this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  It's not a great photo but I'm out of time to take another so here it is anyway...

Happy Birthday, CTS #44

Here's the card that I made to play along with this week's CAS(E) this Sketch 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!

Although this picture doesn't do justice to the card, I actually used the colors from this week's 10 Minute Craft Dash #25 challenge.  Unfortunately, it took me more than 10 mins to finish this card as I was having a hard time incorporating the brown.

Here's the photo of the challenge sketch and the Craft Dash colors:

Hope you have a fantastic day!

Happy 15th Birthday Sweet Pea!

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!

I made this card using this week's sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch!  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.

Happy Birthday, CTS #41

Here is a birthday card that I made to play along with this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  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.

Happy, Happy Birthday to you...

Here's a card that I made for my husband's birthday.  I actually made this card to play along with a CAS(E) this Sketch challenge two weeks ago but never got the chance to post it.  Summer life got in the way of my blogging but I have no regrets...this has been a very busy but an awesome summer with my kids, nieces and nephews!  Hope everyone is having a great summer, creating memories to cherish for a lifetime!  :)

This was a super simple and fun card to create!  Thanks for stopping by...I am hoping to find some time to visit all my loyal blogger friends soon.  Have a fantastic day!

Above and Beyond! CTS#34

I couldn't resist playing along with this week's challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch!  This card is very simple, but I love that bold sentiment which is from K&Company's sentiments vellum sticker pad.  To me that sentiment says more than just a simple "Thank You".  Anyway, a clean, simple and quick card! :)
