Peachy Challenge 27 :: Sketch Challenge

Hello! Are you ready for another project this morning? Today, I created a card for the current Peachy Keen Stamps challenge. This week's challenge is a sketch challenge! You can read all about it on the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog HERE.

Here is the sketch we are required to follow!

We only have until Wednesday at Midnight to enter, so head on over and link up your projects!

My card today is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. I used PaperTrey Ink White cardstock for the base and Kraft cardstock for my first layer. The pattern papers are all from the My Mind's Eye (Follow Your Heart) Be Amazing 6x6 paper stack. :)

I used some Spellbinders for my main image. That super cute sun is the Peachy Keen Large Sun stamp. But since I am totally in love with the Cornie faces, I decided to mask out the original face and add this Cornie face instead. I guess I just couldn't resist!  And I chose one of the sentiments from the newest Peachy Keen July Stamp of the Month.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink White, Kraft, Lemon Tart, and Summer Sunrise cardstock

Our "day-cation" and a Sympathy card

Good morning! 

Wow, I hope the weekend has been treating you well! We took another mini "day-cation" this last Saturday to South Pass City, a historic site here in Wyoming for their annual Gold Rush days. The kiddos had fun panning for gold and checking out all of the historic buildings. They even got a "job" at the printing press and made themselves each a bookmark. :) Oh...and they did find a few super small flakes of gold!

Although we didn't stay very long, it was nice to get out of the house again. Especially for me, since Friday was a particularly bad day for me, as one of my bosses passed away. What a coincidence it was actually Friday the 13th. So when we returned from our "day-cation" I had to head on down to my craft room to make some sympathy cards. And working all morning on sympathy cards really took away my craft mojo for the rest of the day.

But I was able to finish this one for one of my co-workers, and wanted to share it. I used the newer Simple Sayings stamp set from those fabulous ladies over at Jaded Blossom.

Supplies:

PaperTrey Ink Black and Soft Stone cardstock

My Mind's Eye Meadowlark 6x6 paper stack

Jaded Blossom Simple Sayings

Spellbinders Classic Scallop Circles Small

Spellbinders Classic Circles Small

Sakura Gelly Roll Clear Star pen

I hope you all have a fabulous Monday!
