A Sketch for a Quote

I was thinking of how I wanted the card to look that I was working on for the Summerfest "You Can Quote Me On That!" challenge at The Scrapping Nook, when my friend Mellissa revealed a card sketch she had created. I'd already cut out the flowers and embossed the cardstock in my Cuttlebug when I saw the sketch, but I knew these items would work well with it. With a little chalk ink, some ribbon and a butterfly I had everything I needed to create this card.

Flowers were cut from Heidi Grace Designs. Ribbon is from Michaels. The butterfly is Colorbok.

A Card and Some Symmetry

We were given a quote challenge for Summerfest at The Scrapping Nook. It was a choice between two quotes, one by Sam Keen and one by Lucille Ball. I chose the one by Lucille Ball and opted to create a card with it. The green cardstock is actually Coredinations cardstock. I embossed it with my Cuttlebug, then decided that I liked the reverse side of it best. The butterfly is cut from a Cherry Arte paper, then embellished with Stickles before it was pop dotted on the card. I managed to use a few cardstock scraps on this card.

Our photography challenge this week was Symmetry. Everyone was posting these beautiful photos of plants, so I wanted to do something a little different. I was in the children's bedroom this morning and noticed Sara's Little People playhouse. So there was my symmetry.

Another Tara Challenge

Tara posted one of her own layouts with the challenge to scraplift it. I took that challenge and this is what I came up with. The quote says "My heart is forever at your service" by Shakespeare. Thanks Tara -- I love that quote!!!!
