Laura's Sketch 29 at 2 Sketches 4 you!

Here's my take on this week's sketch! I hope your having a good day so far !! I'm leaving in the morning and am soooo excited!!!

I made this simple card for a friend of mine. It took maybe 5 minutes to do and I love it!!


Have a wonderful week, see you soon :-)

I'm finally going on vacation!!! Yeah!!! Just in time because it's 107 here today!!! HOT!! And the coast is usually in the 60's. I'm staying in my little cabin in the redwoods. It will be fun...I will probably go on day trips and spend days on the beach walking and sitting in my chair reading ( Maybe with a drink in hand!! ) !! I will take lots of pictures!! I will be there until July 12th. So I probably won't be posting to much. So I will leave you with this adorable little kit that Jennifer at my LSS put together . I can't wait to get some pictures of Jasmine and Liberty at the ocean to put in this album. It's perfect for ocean pictures!!! I just noticed that I forgot to put the crab's little eyes on the front of this album!! Better do it!!

The countdown is on!! One week and 5 days until vacation!! I'm starting to get very excited!!! Twelve days at the glorious ocean!! I probably won't be making cards while over there....but will make some in advance and post them sporadically.I'll be sitting on the beach with a good book!! Taking walks, going on day trips, I've always wanted to ride horses on the beach, so this time I want to find a stable that rent's horses! When I was young I used to live in L.A. I'd go every weekend to Griffith Park and ride horses....I loved it!!

Just a quick card to share. I made this card with Webster's Pages, and Cosmo Cricket Embellishments, October Afternoon Label and some glitter for the cherries, and the stamp is Unity.

Have a great day!!!! Char

Just a little card to share today. I just love these little owls from K & Co. October Afternoon paper and embellishments, Heidi Swapp chipboard heart.

I'm back!! A little tired but a lot more educated!! I always have a great time doing Tim's classes. He's a nice guy and as you all know....very talented!! He taught us how do do transparencies. WOW was that cool!!! I was thinking about a little demo because you can use pretty much any picture and create your own...how cool is that? And that metal box was so much fun! We created our own book and then embossed the metal and made the book...And ,my mind was thinking WOW this would be cool on even a card or LO, or whatever your making...I need to get some supplies and I will share if your interested?

And back in June I tried out for Scrapbook Heaven's design team and made it!!! I will be on the Design team with Beatriz Jennings as a card designer!! I'm very honored!! And the other ladies on the DT are so nice and very talented!! I will be starting in July...July 1st will be the card reveal!!!

I want to Thank all of you so much for all your encouraging words!! It keeps me plugging along !!! Your the best!!!

Well, the day is finally here!! I've been waiting months for these classes!!! I leave for Sacramento today and tonight I'm going to Green Tangerine's (Big scrapbook store) they will be open until midnight! God my checkbook will be murdered!!!

I went shopping at Michael's last night ( Shock I know) !!! (Giggle) and found this cute Owl and had to make a tree card again lol!!! I used my Copic markers to color in the sky and my Cricut to make the tree and card. My Nestabilities for the scallops and hand cut the leaves. I hope you enjoy!

Well, I managed to make a few things last night. I was so tired for some reason !! I'm really looking forward to my trip this weekend!! I will share my metal album when I get back!

I used K & Co Cut and Paste paper, October Afternoon paper, Making memories journal cut. I used the May stamp kit from Unity on this card. The dress and the journaling spot on the right side. A prima flower, Prima pearls, and the saying is Papertrey Stamps.

Will be back tomorrow with a few things. I just wanted to share this picture I painted eons ago!! I believe 15 years ago!!! Ouch!!! I did Tole Paintng on wood for years and still have a ton of painted stuff. I'm decorating my house for the 4th and pulled this out. Even though it's old it always brings a smile to my face, so I wanted to share with you.....
