Mojo Monday Sketch #543 Swap Times Two

One of the swaps in my group last month was to create a card using Mojo Monday Sketch #543. One of the members had a medical issue come up so I made two cards, one for my partner and one for their partner. 

Here's the sketch, Mojo Monday Sketch #543~

I decided to use the MFT One-Of-A-Kind Friend set and the Not 2 Shabby Summer Donuts 6x6 paper pad for both of my cards. I think they turned out so fun and I hope they make the receipents smile!

Plants are my Therapy

Krista Smith recently gave away some freebies and this was one of them. I do love coloring up these digis so much!!

The card is pretty simple so that the image can shine. I liked the darker background papers to really let the image be seen.

I put the sentiment on the inside. I was surprised that I don't have many plant/garden type sentiments. Might need to change that!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a super day!

Exciting news!! Krista just opened a SHOP in her Patreon that anyone can shop!! Grab up some of her amazing digis and if you become a member of her Patreon there are perks for that too!! Check it out!!

Bee Collab with Fresh and Renewed with Teresa

Today I am in a fun collab with Fresh and Renewed with Teresa over on YouTube! Check out my video HERE!!

Teresa has been doing a bee series on her channel and the theme in my Swap/RAK group for August is going to be bees so we just thought we'd have fun and share some bee themed projects!

I have been having so much fun with the way I'm creating for the Create it Three Way hops so I decided to do that- one stamp set, one paper pad and one sketch for 3 cards.

I decided to use the Freshly Made Sketches Sketch #547.

I chose the Not 2 Shabby Honey Bee Kisses stamp set and the Not 2 Shabby Sunflower Bees 6x6 paper pad.

July 3, 2023- Using a sketch

My posts are being removed by blogger saying they are spam. I am using this as a test post to see if it is removed as well. I changed the title from my original post. I am looking into getting a different blog, which is sad as I've used this one since 2007!!

Crystal from Tawny Owl Paperie has a group on Facebook called Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration and one of the things she shares are sketches. I thought Sketch #13 looked great so I wanted to be sure to play along while it was current, not just revisit it later.

Here's the sketch~ 

I thought it was a fun sketch and one that would work well with scraps-or not! LOL! I thought it was also a great sketch for those papers that are maybe a bit loud on their own, or in bigger pieces. 

I chose my papers first and decided to use the Not 2 Shabby Mermaid Fantasy 6x6 Paper Pad. I like the papers but some of the patterns are just to busy for my style so I thought this would be fun to try with this sketch.

I decided to stick with the mermaid theme for my image and decided the Darcie's Mermaid Spells stamp set would be fun to use. I stamped out my mermaid and then colored her up with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils/Crayola Skin Tone Pencils.

Finishing the card was pretty easy! I just found the Sunny Studio Stitched Semi-Circle die that worked perfectly, stamped my sentiment on a banner/flag (whatever you call it) and then finished the card with some This Calls For Confetti Oil Slick embellishments. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a super day! I have a video up sharing this card! check it out HERE!
