{ CPS #91 and a sneek peak }

I was finally able to create something for CPS #91. I love this simple sketch. I wanted something bright and cheery so I reached for my favorite collection from Tinkering Ink --- Al Fresco. I die cut the (blue) flower and embossed it with Cuttlebug folder. I just love how it turned out. If you plan on shopping on Black Friday Tinkering Ink has a 75% off Black Friday code.

{ 2 Sketches 4 You - Kazan's sketch 13 and Hero Arts challenge }

I was able to finish this card last night for 2 Sketches 4 you. The adorable house stamp is Maya Road and the tree stamp is Autumn Leaves. I added red glitter glue to some of the hearts. The background, tree, paper is by Chatterbox that I found at Michaels's, Making Memories patterned paper on the house and the hill, Basic Grey paper for the tree and Fancy Pants journaling card. Here is a card I created for Hero Arts blog technique challenge, distressing and clear resist. I clear embossed the leaves on my tag and than applied ink over the top. In addition I used white embossing powder for the trees. The flower my mom made, if you remember from this post here. Making Memories patterned paper and Tim Holtz tag.
