SCS Sketch #SC978

I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing, so I love being part of the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge team. There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.



Here's this week's sketch SC978:


My card:



It's always acceptable to tweak the sketch a wee bit and make it your own (there are no SCS police), so that's what I did.

I hope you'll use the sketch to make a card, too.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Papers: Accent Opaque 120# White and SU Cherry Cobbler CS and DP from my scrap file

ONE to See in '23 - October

The 3rd of each month is a special day here on my blog - it's the day that Kelly (the founder of this series), Barb, and I share our One Plus Twelve cards. The idea is to use the same ONE stamp (not a set) each month to create a card. Sentiments can be used, too, if we choose. 

My ONE stamp this year is a small stamp - a paintbrush from the Waffle Flower Little Painter stamp set.

I hope you'll keep an eye out on the 3rd of each month to see how I do with this ONE stamp this year. You'll also be able to see Barb's and Kelly's cards on Instagram as well as their blogs...

BK - Day and Night Silhouette Stag

Fridays are special days - who doesn't love TGIF, right? But here on my blog Fridays are also special because they are the day I get to post as a design team member for Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

This month the BKRS design team is showing ways to use one of the newest products in the BKRS store - DESIGNER PAPER!!! How fun is that?!?!?!?! You can check it out in the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps store --> Designer Paper Day and Designer Paper Night. And even more exciting... BKRS also has released two more sets of designer paper!

This paper is perfect to stamp on and can be colored, too. I've used Copic and Olo markers on it. I know some of the other design team members have used Pan Pastels on it. It really is nice paper.

CAS761 Mixed Media

It's Monday, which means there is a new CAS Challenge on SCS. It's going to be fun to see what others create this week.

The theme is...

Mixed Media

True disclosure here - I do not know much about Mixed Media plus all of my stencils and pastes are already packed for the upcoming move, so I'm not sure my card really qualifies. Good news though! There are NO CAS challenge police.

Here's my card:


I hope you'll check out the challenge - HERE - and play along, too.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Exciting Times!

 Big news...



Not far (we've purchased a home here in the same town)... but a move is a move. It means EVERYTHING has to be packed and moved.

Oh, and our closing day got moved up 10 days ahead of schedule so I am in a packing frenzy. LOL!

These are exciting days but you'll notice my blog will not be as busy as usual. I've given myself permission to skip several card-making series and such for a month. I will still be posting a few things but not everything I usually do
