Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge WSC27
http://beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/category/weekend-sketch-challenge/Here it is! Check out Beate's weekend Sketch Challenge (picture is below.) After a VERY stressul and busy week, I took today to stamp and rejuvenate. We will be making the middle cards at Stamp Camp this week. I will post directions for the Star Pattern on the card which uses the Stampin' Up! Tag Punches, large and small. This also uses the Stampin' Up! DP which is on sale this week. For more information, contact me or if you have another SU Demonstrator, contact her. ;) Thanks for looking and have a fabulous day!

Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge- WSC24
This is what I created using Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge. The paper is Chocolate Chip, Marigold Morning (SU retired) and Daisy D's Designer Paper - Gypsy... For SU products I used the Bronco, All In a Row and Wild About You stamp set. The Ink I used was chocolate chip and I used the large Pewter Brads with hemp and glue dots. Thanks for looking and have a great day!Thursday, October 18, 2007
Lopsided Circle -another take on Debby M's Sketch

On my last card, I had originally made the circles too large and had to trim them down. This left me with scraps of lunar shapes. When I saw them I had this idea! Always use your unique shaped scraps! :) The colors I used were from SU - Pomegranite, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky DP, basic Black and Whisper White. I also used to white gel pen to highlight areas on the paper.
One thing I thought - but had the card already well glued down was to add brads going down the sides of the circles - for a little extra "something."
Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Debby's Sketch Challenge for 10-16-07
The polar bear card was made by Debby M. This was her sketch. Isn't it great? The card I made using this sketch is the Merry, Merry card. I used the Soft Sky designer paper - stamped on it. I used the Coluzzle to cut the half circles. The colors are Purely Pomegranite, Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi and Basic Black....Tuesday, October 16, 2007
This card uses the small clips made by SU. I just LOVE them. I used the TRUE FRIEND stamp set, along with the Circle of Friendship and the All In a Row. I rarely use the Handsome Hunter, so thought it would be fun to play with - I also sprayed Glimmer Mist on the card to add some shimmer. Once I stamped the image and sprayed the Glimmer Mists - the ink ran a bit so I went back over it with a marker to give the image a "crisper" look.Weekend Sketch Challenge

WSC-22 Timeless
This weekend, my friend Danita and I did some stamping. It was lots of fun. Here is another card made with Beate's Challenge. This one used a stamp I do not know who made. I borrowed it from Danita. I just LOVE this image!
I crumped the paper and then sponged it with bordering blue and lightly with Navy. I also sponged the Blue Bayou ribbon with Night of navy to make it a bit darker. It worked out prefectly and matched the Bordering Blue better. The butterflies and the watch - I cut out and used dimensionals to give the card a little "dimension."
This was a color challenge too from Splitcoast Stampers. The colors I used are Regal Rose, Blush Blossom, Bordering Blue and Night of Navy. I also used the French Flair BG, Canvas BG on the cardstock.

WSC-22 Twinkling Princess
Here is Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge... My little Gracie has her first GIRLIE birthday party. She is SO excited. So I created this card for her to take along with the gift! I embossed the flowers and swirls in Hologram Highlights. Painted the Flowers with Making Memory's paint - and painted the Princess using Twinkling H20's. Everything **TWINKLES***Wednesday, September 26, 2007

Christmas Slider Card
Noah
Good morning! As I sat here this morning, my 7 yo son, Noah came and sat next to me. He happened to see this Blog and I showed him Sarah's picture. He immediately said, "Where's my picture?" So here it is. We went camping this past weekend and here he is being goofy. This was the most "normal" picture that he did - we are in the goofy face stage. heehee
