DT: Unscripted Sketches~ Hello Kitty

Hi Everyone!  This is the last sketch for 2012 at Unscripted Sketches.  Thank you for participating and sharing your talent with us!  We look forward to having you join us again in the new year.

I used the Hello Kitty paper pad and matching embellishments.  Some of the corners were rounded with my corner chomper.  The chipboard embellishments were adhered with 3D glue dots.  This is my first project using my Hello Kitty stash.  I was able to snag some Hello Kitty goodies at Michael's.  I remember going to the mall and would always stop by the Sanrio store...I still stop by now and then to look at all the pretty merchandise!

Supplies~

Time Flies...Layout

Time sure flies....especially when you're at the happiest place on earth!  My friend and I bought an annual pass last year to Disneyland and boy did we take advantage of it!  I made this layout to remember our last visit using the second sketch of the month from Sketchabilities:

I used one of my favorite tools, Tim Holtz ruler to pierce all around the page.  I edged all the papers with distress ink and sprayed the pattern paper with LSG glitz spritz.  All the mulberry flowers are from I Am Roses...one of my favorite places to shop!

The picture of me goes perfectly with the title...me & the rabbit w/ his stop watch

I had bought some Easter candle holder sprays from Michael's last year and snipped a piece to use behind the flowers.  The pearls and crystal beads are from another holiday candle holder I purchased for Christmas.

The porcelain white flowers are from A Treasure Nest.  I love using these green crystal flowers...so pretty!  There's a layer of white trim underneath...just the corner peaking out. 

Supplies~
pp: s.e.i.{Couture collection}
stamp: Layers of Color{brick wall}
inks: distress inks {frayed burlap, antique linen, old paper}
dies/punch: CC design{leafy branch}; Memory Box{vintage bird cage}; MFT{prima donna petals}; Quikutz{vine}; MS{classic butterfly punch}

Crazy 4 Challenges C4C94

I've been on a sketch kick as you can see....there are so many sketch inspirations out there!  Half the work is done for you.  I ♥ sketches!  I'm also working on some color combo challenges...stay tune for those!  This week's challenge for Crazy 4 Challenges - CENTER STEP CARD.  Here's a tut from Frances B.  

 Design papers and matching cs are from Mango Frost {DCWV}.  I love the colors-so bright, perfect for summer theme projects.

 I stamped the image on Neenah paper.  After cutting her out, I inked the edge with C1. I paper pieced her outfit because I'm limited on my Copics stash. I love the way it came out.

Thinking of You

This is a gate fold card I made using the paper collection, flea market {Colorbok}.  To make the gate fold, take a 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 cs and score at  2 1/8 and 6 3/8.  I embossed the birdcage and sentiment with embossing powder from Lindy's Stamp Gang...love their products!! The fabric flower was made with baja breeze seam binding and victoria crochet trim.  I backed it with pearl trim and skeleton leaf. I love the way it turned out...since it's my first time making it.  Here's a close up:

The inside sentiment is a clear sticker from the paper collection, layered with cs that I embossed and used a border punch. Since the pattern paper is one sided, I cut the Spellbinder die twice and adhere them back to back.  That way, you see the pattern paper and not just plain white cs. All the edges were distressed with vintage photo and sprayed with mist from Lindy's.

Supplies~
paper: flea market {Colorbok} ; very vanilla, early espresso cs {SU}
stamp set: card crafting hello {TPC}
dies/punch: label 8 {Spellbinders}; birdcage {CreaTables}; double crochet {EK Success}
ink: vintage photo{TH}
mist/embossing powders: golden pumpkin blush mist, queen sheba silver, kaiser russet red, king midas gold {LSG}
trims: baja breeze, victoria crochet trim {SU}
misc: pink feather, pearl trim, sticker sentiment {flea market collection}, skeleton leaf {I Am Roses}
