Retro sketches #170

Here is my take on the new sketch over at retro sketches #170 I just love the sketch so my card came along quickly!the colors are a bit out of my comfort zone,I'm not a huge pink fan but I think with the black I really like how this one turned out!

I really can't tell company the pattern paper is from because I just received a small stack of already cut pattern papers as a Birthday gift from one of my card swap friends...the stamp is from Bo Bunny Sentiments

CAS(E) this Sketch No129

Here is my take on the fun new sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #129....I used my silhouette portrait to cut the flower/vine,butterfly and the sentiment...I kept them white because I love how they look against the kraft paper..I also used a Darice embossing folder

CAS(E) this Sketch No128

New sketch is out from CAS(E) this Sketch #128 and I just love it...the DT has out done themselves....but you can tell from my card one just stuck with me ...I hope she takes it as a compliment! you can see Alice Wertz card here! Just a fabulous card...I loved the curvy pieces and wanted to see if I could get that with my Silhouette machine since I don't have many normal dies...

Mine didn't turn out the same but I really like it!

Scrap Africa No 53

the new challenge over at Scrap Africa was just posted and I couldn't wait to take a crack at it!! I have all these pretty papers from My Minds Eye Hello world which is all about traveling!!
can you tell where I took my inspiration from? yup yup it was the little cars in the background and the colors...I made this card for my hubby, he's leaving on a week long trip this Friday...driving all the way to Oregon....so I thought I would stash this with a little note in his bag!

Curtain call Flip Flops

When I saw the new inspiration board over at Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge....Flip Flops...can you believe it! I was totally excited (yeah I know simple minds are easily amused) but I had this idea....here is the card I came up with...just a few scraps that were left over from a beach layout and a pair of flip flops I created with my silhouette portrait...

But as you can see I didn't stop there...I had to make a whole other card just because the first one was so cute LOL

 Make sure you check out Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge

Artastic June

Did you ever have a picture in your mind of how you want your project to turn out but you just couldn't get it to fit on the paper? yeah well that's my card LOL -here is my take on this months challenger over at Artastic challenge blog
I took inspiration in the wood background and of course the white bird, I wanted to pull all the colors of the inspiration image into my card...I tried with the birdcage but it didn't quit turn out as I imagined..

wood veneer bird I used

Case this sketch No 126

 I took a look at the new sketch from Case this sketch #126....it almost looked like triple stamping....but I don't own a whole lot of stamps at least not flowers like I wanted LOL so I thought I would try using my Silhouette machine and the sketch pens my hubby got me for Christmas...I tend to use them more for journaling but I thought what the heck...I found a design I liked and kind of adapted it to what I wanted =D
I think it turned out well...it looks like I was doodling!

Sorry for the washed out picture...the color of the flowers ia actually a real pretty slate purple (in the picture it kind of looks grey!)
