You Make Me Happy

It's time to share a new sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge...and it's #300!!! Can you imagine, 300 sketches?!!!! If you ever need inspiration, be sure and check out all 299 other sketches!

Here's what I created, using from the Occasions catalog the Meant to Be bundle. I waited a while before ordering this bundle...and I don't know why!!! It's fabulous!!!!! You won't be disappointed with it, that's for sure! When I initially started out designing this card, I just had a plain white layer. I knew something was missing so the embossing folder was exactly what it needed. Then the little hearts in the upper and lower corners weren't popping, so I added some Wink of Stella and love the sparkly goodness it gives! I sure hope you can join us this week over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. We'd love to see what you create!

Black and White

Just sharing a card I created for a Black & White Only challenge. All of the products were already on my desk from previous projects so this went together in no time!!! I do not clean off my desk in between things I make. I know this sounds weird but my mojo really kicks into high gear when I'm surrounded with stamp sets, paper and accessories! When I clean off my desk, I find myself just sitting there wondering what to do! I'm sure there's a name for this condition, I just don't know what it is!!! Hahaha!!!

Hello Beautiful

OK, I admit it, I am obsessed with these butterflies from the Occasions and Saleabration catalogs!!! I started with the Daffodil Delight card and decided to make one in each color of the Gingham Gala DSP. The butterflies were punched out of the Botanical Butterfly SAB (free with $50 purchase) paper using the Butterfly Duet punch and the sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set. I could have left the butterfly black & white but thought I would pull out the Stampin' Blends and add some color. I know, shocker there as I am not much of a colorer!! The blends sure do make it easy though.

If you're in need of an Occasions or Salebration catalog, please let me know. Email me at lindaloucreatescards@gmail.com and I will get one out to you right away.
