DT: Red Carpet Studio~Just Be Me layout

We have a great challenge for you at Red Carpet Studio...

this week's sponsor:

prize: $25 gift certificate

 This is a layout of me on my birthday.  We went to Lake Tahoe and walked a few hiking trails.  I love the view of the mountains in the back of the photo.  I don't create many layouts of myself because I don't have many pictures. I'm usually the one taking all the photos.  But when there are pictures of me, I jump at the chance to create layouts for myself.  Ü

I tried to create a CAS layout....well, this is my version of Clean & Simple.  I love this patterns and colors in this collection.  The papers are double-sided, which is great because I ended up using only three sheets from the stack.

paper: Daydream & epoxy stickers{Heidi Grace}
stamps: Visual Artistry{Tim Holtz}; Just Simply Live set{My Creative Time}
tools:stitched banner{Lil' Inker Designs}; Fishtail flags{MFT}; laurel leaf border punch{MS}

Hi There!  This week, we have a sketch challenge for you.  Hope you'll play along and enter to win a surprise prize from our sponsor, Marianne Design. Here's the sketch...

 Challenge: Stamptacular Sunday

For my card,  I distressed the papers with Vintage Photo distress ink and also my distressing tool. I love this mini banner die and the new bell die from C.C. Designs.  On the hat and clothes, I used some liquid applique.  This adds great texture and it's fun watching it puff up when heated.

Happy Saturday!  Here's a new sketch from Unscripted Sketches...This card is for our niece who's turning 16.  I layered the chipboard numbers with a scalloped circle from Stampin' Up.  For my card, I used an older stamp from Stampendous.  I think he's so adorable!  The sentiment is from a stamp set from Verve.

Today, I have another card to share from Card Cupids.  This week's challenge is "Happy Fall Y'all" and the sponsor is Fresh Brewed Designs.   I punched the border twice and layered them along the side of the card.  Then added orange ribbon trim and half back pearls.  I removed the prongs from the brads before adhering them to the card.  To finish off the monster, I added some Black Diamond Stickles.
