Sketch Saturday Challenge

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by today, I'm hoping that I'm finally getting back into crafting once & for all. I have a ton of Christmas projects to work on & finish that I need to really get my mojo going.... Tonight I'd like to share my entry for the Sketch Saturday Challenge:

My card:

A closer look:

For this card I used the too cute new image from The Character Cafe's November release called Fredrick & Remy. I used some background paper from last year that was in my stash, one of the new Cuttlebug folders I recently purchased I think it's one of last year's versions too, the snowflakes are Martha Stewart & the image is colored with Copics. What a fun card to make!

Again thanks for coming by! Have a great evening!

Update: Guess what? My entry here won one of the prizes, this is great, you should check out the upcoming week's sketch challenge!

Happy Halloween Little Cupcake

Good Saturday Morning to you! Thanks so much for stopping by today! If you haven't done so already be sure to check out the blog candy I'm offering.

Today I'd like to share a card I made for Halloween using a cute set of digi images from The Cutting Cafe:

A closer view:
Cute isn't it? Super easy card to make too as The Cutting Cafe has so many images to choose from in their packages - it was a no brainer for me to pick the background with the saying & the cupcake to match.

Now I'd like to share a bag I made for Halloween using a Sew Many Cards image called Tayla IN Pumpkin:

A close up:

This was just made using a small lunch bag & some background paper from an old DCWV paper stack, I used the new Nestabilities called Lace Squares too!

Hope you enjoyed my projects today & have a great day!

SMC April Sponsor - The Cutting Cafe

Today I have the honor of sharing a very fun project/image from one of Sew Many Cards sponsor The Cutting Cafe, Regina's images are just so versatile you can't go wrong. First a bit about The Cutting Cafe:

Hello my name is Regina Easter. I have 4 wonderful children and an awesome supportive husband. I have for as long as I can remember loved all the aspects of creating things with paper and drawing. So it was only fitting that I decided to open up The Cutting Cafe'and I am loving every bit of this new venture. The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and Cutting Files. The Cutting Files which are basically just like templates are files that you Print out using your home printer, Cut, Assemble and then Embellish.....Very Easy.....The Cutting Files also come in the format where you can cut out the files using some of the latest Machine Cutters like the Pazzles Inspiration, Bosskut Gazelle and Cricut (with Scal software). The Printable Stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out, you can just color them in like you would any other stamped imaged...One great thing about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that you no longer have to worry about finding space to store all of your stamps....You can keep them all in a folder in your computer and use over and over again.
Now on to my sample:

A close up:

I used the set called: Beautiful Blooms what a nice set, so many different ways to use the flowers & containers, this set even includes the sentiments, how cool is that? I tend to have the hardest time finding my sentiment stamp sets that having digi ones has been great! Thanks Regina!

Any questions, be sure to let me know. Have a great day!
