Disney's Animal Kingdom

… and a Stuck on U Sketch.

Hello and welcome to my blog! This Friday over at SOUS is a new sketch reveal. I LOVED it. I hope you'll join us this week and showcase your interpretation of the awesome sketch by Leah Schaeffer.

This sketch gave me an opportunity to scrap about part of my family's Disney trip in 2010. I personally find scrapping about trips overwhelming. So.many.photos!

This particular LO features our last full day in Florida in which we went to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Even at the end of September it was so hot!! But it was not crowded which was definitely a bonus.

"We went to Disney World right before Joscelin's 4th birthday. Everyday we went somewhere exciting, and everyday we had one tired little boy. It was a wonderful week and looking forward to going back."

I'm thoroughly enjoying my tiny flag punches.

Some flags I made from a punch. I added machine stitching and buttons for extra effect.

SOUS October 3rd

Hello!!  Here we are with our first SOUS project for October!!  The sketch is provided by Leah Schaeffer.

This particular project is near and dear to me as I made this card for my son's 6th birthday!! I'm also particularly proud of this project as I used nothing but scraps from my Bobunny pile!

I have added my favorite embellishment, stitching, and again used an embossed die and verve stamp on this project.  But I'm mostly excited to finally use the really cute die cut candles from "my scrap chick".

I think the twine adds just enough "flavor" to the card, don't you?  For extra added flare, I also used glossy accents on the candle wax.

SOUS Project

It's that time of month again.  SOUS has a new card sketch challenge this week.  Here's what I came up with.

Happy Belated Birthday Mom!!

Yep, this card is for my mom and I'm VERY LATE getting it to her.  Invested in some Verve Stamps and Dies last week and am happy with their service and products.  I thought it was about time I had some sentiment stamps to work with on my cards.  Better late than never right??  Thank you for visiting!

Flowers are handmade using SCAL file.  Sentiment and die is a Verve stamp.  Embossing done with my cuttlebug.
