Back to School Crop!!

How has your weekend been so far?  I got a lot of things checked off my "TO DO" list yesterday and plan to spend today "cropping" with a few of my favorite friends over at Sketch N Scrap! Our Back to School Crop kicked off yesterday with an amazing layout sketch challenge and today I am bringing you our second challenge!!  

Today's challenge is a card challenge.  The challenge is to create a card using card sketch #86 by me.  Here is the sketch:

 

Here is my take on the sketch:

Supplies Used: Card stock: Stampin' Up- Pumpkin Pie, Kraft, Chocolate Chip; Patterned Paper: Doodlebug Designs-  Flea Market;  Tag: Recollections; Twine- Stampin' Up; Scallop Circle- Jillibean Soup

I love the way this card turned out! I punched out the little fox from a piece of the Flea Market paper and mounted it on a really old journal spot from Jillibean Soup!  Our crop is going on until September 29th but you have until October 2nd to get your entries submitted for a chance to win a fabulous prize!  I hope to see you at the crop!  Happy creating!

Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style sketch #86

TGIF!!  Aren't you glad it's Friday?  I know I am! That means that I can take some time to catch up and get stuff done that I have neglected this past week and then head into my craft space to do some fun creating!!  Today we have a fun sketch for you over at the Sketches in Thyme PL Style blog!  Here is the sketch by Emma:

Here is my take on the sketch:

Supplies Used: Cardstock: Stampin Up Strawberry Slush; Patterned Paper (dot)- Bella Blvd and (pink for butterfly) Bo Bunny; PL card- premade card used for base by We R Memory Keepers; sticker: Bella Blvd; arrow- Recollections, pearls: Recollections; punch: butterfly by Martha Stewart; Die: Lawn Fawn- Hello.

I just had so much fun with this sketch! I can see so many possibilities for it! I know I will use it again soon.  I used a premade PL card that was just blank for my base, then I followed the sketch pretty close just adding a butterfly and arrow to embellish it a bit.  Since I don't have a layout to use this card on just yet I decided against using the embellishment to add my date and instead used it to add a little quote sticker.  This card is so versatile I know it will find it's way onto a layout soon!  Make sure and head over the the Sketches in Thyme Project Lifestyle blog and see what all the other DT members did with this fun sketch!  Happy creating!

The September Doubleshot kit has arrived!  I am so excited to share this fun kit with you!  Here is the amazing kit!

And here is a close up of the Simple Stories Cabin Fever part of the kit I created my double page spread with:

Here is my layout using Simple Stories Cabin Fever:

Cardstock: ivory from the kit and brown from my stash; Patterned Paper: Simple Stories Cabin Fever; Stickers: Simple Stories Cabin Fever; Enamel dots: from my stash (My Mind's Eye); Letter Stickers: Thickers- Dear Lizzy glitter.

These lines are so fun! I really love the colors in Simple Stories Cabin Fever line and I cant' decide if the plaid or floral paper is my favorite, love them both!  I also like how you get a full sheet of stickers to use in this kit, so awesome!  These pictures are of my friend's daughter's Summer Camp adventure this year!  I still have plenty left over from this line so stay tuned for more cards and another layout to show up soon!  Make sure and head over to The ScrapRoom blog to see what the other DT members did with this amazing kit!  And if you would like to purchase a kit you can get one HERE, make sure and tell them Lisa sent you!  Happy creating friends!
