Making the world a better place ... with cards :)

Hello!

Today I'm sharing three cards that I hope will inspire you :)

This first card is based on the following Frosted Designs Sketch and is also being entered in the Moxie Fab World's Gingham challenge and the Pink Elephants stripes and polka dots challenge!


Here is my take on the sketch!

I really have been enjoying my sewing machine ... and once again I have used it to outline the various background paper pieces.

The next card that I am sharing was based on the following Mojo Monday sketch and is also being entered in the Moxie Fab World's lace and doilies challenge and the Scrap Fit Decorate with Doilies challenge!


And this is my take on the sketch!


I used two little wooden birds to add that little bit extra to embellish the card ... I love the sentiment ... I plan to give this to a friend who just celebrated her anniversary!


My final card for today was created based on the following Freshly Made Sketch:

Can you tell that I really like this October Afternoon Farmhouse paper?

The saying on this card makes me laugh ... as I'm pretty sure doing laundry is something that I don't really associate with "fun times" ... lol


Thanks for stopping in today!

  3. All of your cards are really cute. Thank you for using the Frosted Designs sketch for the first one. Sewing on the background paper adds such a nice touch and complements the feel of the paper. I love the country-homey vibe of all of your cards! Thank you for joining the Frosted Designs Card Sketch Challenge! Please play along again next week. Beverly
