I had to finally get in on one of the awesome challenges happening over on the My Mind's Eye blog! It's been awhile for me, and I really loved the sketch for the card this month because it uses tags, which I think is a super way of embellishing a card front! So here it is...
Style, Beauty... You've Got It, Friend!
By the way, here's the sketch from Anam Stubbington...
And, some more details of the card...
I used a few different paper lines from MME, including Stella Rose, "vintage" Wild Asparagus and Life Stories. The flocked brown alpha chipboard letters and decorative brads are from the MME Lush collection. Those awesome butterfly and flourish design tags were cut using the Cricut Picturesque cartridge, and the dressform accent was from the Summer in Paris cartridge. Aside from the sketch, I was also inspired to create this card from a challenge at the Nook to incorporate things that are typically considered "masculine" onto a feminine card, or vice-versa. I chose to use masculine elements for a girly card, so I incorporated some conventional masculine patterns and colors such as plaid, woodgrain and brown tones. I also punched a notebook paper edge and distressed it because to me, distressing feels more rugged and masculine.
I also had a special photo and some MME "the Spider's Web" papers set aside for quite awhile, so I finally took the opportunity and used the MME layout sketch #26 challenge to help me get this page scrapped. Here's the layout sketch, again by Anam...
And this is what I did with the sketch...

Our Wee Punkins
Again, I also used some fabulous Life Stories on here and then a bit of the So Sophie and Lush lines. I loved the detail of the embroidered lace patterned paper from the Witch's Lace paper and fussy cut some of that design as well as some of the folksie pumpkins from the Pumpkin Patch paper (all from the Spider's Web collection). All this fussy cutting was perfect for challenge # 12 at the Nook's weekend virtual crop!
Well, that's all folks, but thanks so much for stopping in... hope you've enjoyed my projects as much as I've enjoyed creating them!
