Limelight Papercrafts Sketch Challenge #48

Welcome to the Limelight Sketch challenge this week. It has been fun being the Guest Designer for Limelight Papercrafts this month :o) Mandy has a wonderful store and a fabulously creative Design Team... speaking of which, you probably came from Jen Marie's blog and already know that the focus for this weeks' sketch is FUZZ and FLUFF! I used the Unity Kit of the Month set Super Sweet & Stuck on You and some Webster's Pages patterned paper. The owl was paper pieced with the same patterned paper and highlighted lightly with Copics. I added some Caramel Latte Tan Fun Flock which really adds so much to this adorable owl.

Here is the sketch this week:

I do hope you can play along! One lucky winner will receive a package Coco Bloomers from Webster's Pages. Oh these are so pretty!!!

Next stop... Lisa A

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the hop!!!

Limelight Papercrafts Sketch Challenge #47

Welcome to the Limelight Sketch challenge this week! If you are following along in the blog hop, you probably came from Lisa's Blog. I am thrilled to be along for the ride and this is such a fun sketch. The focus for this weeks sketch is Flowers! I used the Unity Kit of the Month set Super Sweet & stuck on You and Jillibean Soup patterned paper: Clam Juice (stripe) and Brown Rice (floral). For my focal image, I used none other Brown Letter Canvas Flower. These flowers are so cool!!! I sponged mine with ink to blend in with the Kraft cardstock. I added a punched circle, button (from Basic Grey Indian Summer) and threaded it with some Natural Burlap String. Be sure to stop by Mandy's Blog for all of the specifics... One lucky winner will receive a PACKAGE OF PRIMA FLOWERS!!

Guess Who??

Just a couple of quick projects to share. Limelight Papercrafts sells Unity and this cute owl and sentiment is from the April Kit of the Month Super Sweet & Stuck on You. I used a similar sketch to one on Card Patterns a couple of weeks ago and love this Jillibean Soup patterned paper: Old World Cabbage Stew Head of Cabbage. I colored the owl just a bit with Copics.

This second card I made for the Go To Sketch Challenge #2 over on Papercrafts Connection and was actually one of the winners (totally shocked!!)... I ended up picking the recently released Go To Sketches issue since I never could find it in my area stores.

I used some more gorgeous Webster's Pages patterned paper and created an embellishment from the Green Ruffle Ribbon. Just love this ribbon and know you will be seeing LOTS of it here....

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!

Limelight Papercrafts: Bouquet of Flowers

Today I have something special to share that I made for the Limelight Papercrafts project challenge. It is exciting to be part of the DT for the month of May and the theme this month is BOUQUETS. We could create a bouquet of anything... with a matching card.

I immediately thought of a Streamer Flower tutorial Carolyn King shared on her blog back in April. I stamped the flower image from the April Unity KOM on the streamer prior to running it through my Cuttlebug with a scallop circle die (hard to see in this picture, but that is the hint of yellow you *might* see, lol!). I also recycled some of that pretty tissue paper Mandy wraps each Limelight Papercrafts order (don't we love the careful way she wraps the orders to ship.... and the tissue is lime!). I thought the flowers could use a little hint of green so added two layers to each flower. The sticks that are holding the flowers are just grilling skewers I picked up from the dollar store and tied on some lime green ribbon on each to act as leaves.

For the card, I used some of the same Jillibean Soup patterned paper that I used on a card I shared yesterday, Old World Cabbage Stew Spring Onions. The colors are so springy and I am loving the green/yellow color combo. This was a real fun project to put together and now I have a dozen flowers for future projects!

I hope you have enjoyed this little floral project and be sure to check out what the Design Team over at Limelight Papercrafts came up with...I'm hoping there is chocolate somewhere along the way :o)

Unity Kit at Limelight

I actually went to the doctor (shock of shocks!) and have a sinus infection. So now that I have antibiotics I can get better, lol! Obviously no stamping energy and think the mojo is gone anyways...however I made this last week using the April KOM from Unity (which you can find at Limelight Papercrafts on sale this week... more info below). I also used Old World Cabbage Stew - Spring Onions from Jillibean Soup with Green Apple and Kraft cardstock.

Be sure to stock up at Limelight Papercrafts this week! They are getting ready for LOTS of new things!

Limelight Papercrafts Guest Designer for May!!!

Happy Day, Happy Day, I am excited to say.... I am the Limelight Papercrafts Guest Designer for May! Mandy is just the sweetest and I was so tickled when she asked me to be her Guest Designer. I enjoy shopping at Limelight Papercrafts....(she carries Webster's Pages, eeekss!!!), and a new found favorite Jillibean Soup.

I wanted to share a card I made using the April Unity Kit of the Month: Super Sweet & Stuck on You and the Limelight Sketch challenge for this week. This week in addition to the sketch, we are to work in some sparkle which I did by adding some Diamond Stickles to my stick pins. I also used some of the fabulous Cosmo Cricket Material Girl patterned paper. This was just so fun to make and the sentiment in this set is so cute and speaks to my heart :o) I hope you will play along with the Limelight sketch this week...you can find all of the details HERE and one lucky participant will receive a SPARKLE PACKAGE including a container of glitter, a bottle of Stickles glitter glue, and a package of Sparkle Fibers!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me share my happy news. I hope you have wonderful weekend!

Limelight Sketch Challenge #40

I managed to get a card made for the Limelight Sketch Challenge this week. The focus was on hearts and I wanted to use colors that weren't the typical choice for a Valentine card. I love the stripe patterned paper in Earth Love from Cosmo Cricket paired it with Sage Shadow and So Saffron. The heart is actually a piece of chipboard that I covered with matching patterned paper. The sentiment is from Unity.

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a great weekend!
