The World is Brighter with a Home of Your Own

I made my first card for Heather's H&M Saturday Sketch/Color challenge seen here.

And this is the card I made using the sketch.

And you are invited to come and play along!

I used this fun Joy Ride Percy Stamp from H&M stamps as well as a sentiment from the set "A Lot Of Thanks'. The designer papers I used here are travel themed papers and have map images on them - don't know if you can see that too well on the picture. I think this makes a great masculine card that could be used for a guys birthday with the proper sentiment stamped inside!

I made my second card for the limited supplies challenge on Split Coast: to use a rectangle, a circle and only ribbon for embellishment. It's also using Beate's weekend sketch.I used this pretty cottage stamp from H&M stamps as well as this lovely designer paper that I just got at Eclectic Paperie . It's by My Mind's Eye and it's sparkly and embossed a bit. I colored the cottage with my Prismacolor markers. I cut the circle with my coluzzle, punched the small circle and used my rectangle nestability for the cottage. I tucked a small piece of two sided ribbon under the sentiment. I did use a little iced coffee stickles on the windows without even thinking that it's an embellishment so I think I cheated a little on the Limited Supplies challenge (oops!)

Hope you have a super weekend! I'm running a card workshop at my church and going to my God-Daughter's 3rd birthday party both on Sunday as well as going to a play with DH on Saturday - so it will be a busy one for me!

Here is Eden - almost 3!
