This week’s sketch @ the Card Positioning Systems site was perfect for the male birthday card that I needed to make. I always struggle with masculine cards because I’m really a flowers, bling, and ribbon kinda girl. This card proves; masculine or not, I just can’t break the ribbon habit! Oh well…
Anyway, the patterned paper is 7 Gypsies and the cake & plate come from the Cricut "From My Kitchen" cartridge.
Enjoy… 
Well, I guess my break is over. After making and mailing all of my Mother’s Day cards, I took a break… It wasn’t a planned break it kinda just happened... Before I knew it, two weeks had passed and I hadn't created anything.
So, I decided to end my break and participate in the CPS weekly challenge. Here’s my take on CPS #65
BTW, my photography skills need some work... The flower on the ribbon contains pink rhinestones which blend nicely with the pink on the cake... Doesn't really show in the photo... Maybe I add a photography class to my list of "things to do"
Enjoy…
Don’t know about any of you, but I’ve got LOADS of supplies that I’ve been stockpiling. Lately, I’ve been making an effort to buy less and use more of what I already have. So for the Card Positioning System (CPS) challenge (#62), I decided to design my card around some ribbon that I’ve had for quite some time. If you haven’t noticed, pretty much all my cards have ribbon (it’s an illness I tell you)…
To match the ribbon, I found some pink, green, and white sheets of cardstock and after a while, one of my Mother’s Day cards was born (gotta make a few more)... I used my Cuttlebug for embossing and an emery board to sand the green cardstock. An emery board you say… Well, umm, yeah, it’s what I had on hand… Not a “proper” distressing tool…, but it works (and it’s cheap).
Oh yeah, and if you haven’t noticed, I ALSO use rhinestones a LOT… That’s because I kept buying and buying but never using so I have quite a supply… Expect to see rhinestones OFTEN…
Well that’s it for now… I kept it simple; I’ve got one less Mother’s Day card to make; I’m reducing inventory AND I’m having a great time! For me, that’s a winning combination…
Challenge complete…
Enjoy…
Well, I had some scraps of paper left from a birthday card that I recently created so I put them to good use. Again, I decided to participate in the CPS Sketch weekly challenge. Their sketches are always great and I really love seeing so many different takes on the same design. There’s no right or wrong… It’s simply how you see it… Is that an ideal situation or what?
This is MY take on CPS #61… It’s a fun little thank you card… Hopefully you see a semblance of the sketch in there… :-)
Enjoy…
I love the Card Positioning System (CPS) sketches. So much so that you can always find me lurking around to see what the extremely talented folk are doing… Rarely or I should say NEVER do I join in on the fun. But today, I decided to jump right in and follow the crowd.
I had a great time with this one. I will definitely join in more often.
