Sous Sketch for February 17th!

Hey there!  Yes, it is time for another SOUS sketch reveal, and I myself am a day late getting mine posted here, but all excuses aside, the 16th was my Birthday and I guess I was in party mode, lol!  Sorry to be tardy!  Anywho, we had a cool sketch to play around with this week, designed by our very own, Leah Schaeffer!

 

So, here is what I came up with...

I wish I could've captured a better photo of this page, because it certainly does no justice for the richness and texture of these gorgeous papers from Teresa Collin's, Christmas Home collection!  And I just loved these photos of my husband stringing the lights on our Christmas tree this past holiday.  The  TC line was perfect for creating this page with them! The background base for this page is a sheet of the black Tim Holtz Kraft cardstock from Core'dinations... a definite favorite in my cardstock stash.  If you haven't gotten yourself some Kraft Core yet, you really need to.  I'm tellin' ya, it's the best!  Here I debossed a Cuttlebug border along the bottom edge and sanded over it all to reveal the Kraft core.  I also scored along the other three edges and sanded them as well.

 (Ohh, and a side note, I believe this is the first project in a long time that I have NOT used my Cricut cutting on it in some way, shape or form! Are you all gasping, lol?? I really just may go cut some bits and pieces to add to this down the road. I do believe I need some Cricut flair on this somewhere!)

That's all I have to share for now, but I do hope you'll join us over at Stuck On U Sketches and show us how you can work the sketch too!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Truck Load Of Love!

Happy Valentine's Day to all the love-birds!  Hope it was a great day of celebrating with the loves of your lives and that all my friends were lavished beyond measure... and perhaps enjoyed some chocolate too!  I know I did... maybe too much, lol!

Good news... terrific scrappy news!  Something fun to share today, as I am now enjoying a new dt gig!  I've joined a team of super crafty ladies at Crafts Unleashed... the inspiring blog for Consumer Crafts' on-line store!  And today I am stoked that my first project is posted, so I would be thrilled if you could all go and check it out and let me know what you all think.  Here's my "Truck Load of Love" embellished card...

I did of course use Core'dinations cardstock on here along with my ever faithful Cricut, and you can find all the deets over on my Crafts Unleashed post!  I will also have another project feature later on in the month that I can't wait to share, so do stay tuned! ;)

Well I must go and throw together a little dinner for my LOVE, but I also wanted to show another card that I recently had in the Core'dinations booth at CHA earlier in the month!  Although, I wish I could have been at the booth WITH my card! But one day perhaps... one day,lol!

This card features the new Brights collection pack from Core!  I love that with such vibrant cardstock, no patterned paper is necessary!  And while on the topic of Core, before I forget to mention this... are YOU Hard Core?
