Space Cadet...

During parent teacher conferences I learned both of my kiddos though quite brilliant (in a mother's words!), have a tendency to space out! My husband and myself are both notorious for this sort of behavior so how does one deal with this? We let it go...




I created this card for three challenges Paper Cutz wants at least 3 buttons, CardALicious wants a Birthday card using Red Blue and Yellow and Three Clovers Designs wants a # on the card. Have a great Wednesday! I may not be posting much else as I am preparing for this Saturdays World Card Making Day Blog Hop from Unscripted Sketches so bare with me! Beth aka BR-T

I am so thrilled!

I have known about this collection of stamps since they were released in June by Diane Duda designed for Sugar Nellie and loved the girls demeanor "sugar and spice but not too nice" . Well I was randomly picked for one of three prizes over at Double Dutch challenges and I am on cloud 9! If you have never tried a challenge of theirs now is the time! This weeks challenge is to create a shaped card and the design team came up with some wonderful ideas! Have a great night and inky dreams... Beth aka BR-T

Come celebrate World Card Making Day with US...

As most everyone knows instinctively ( I had to be told) World Card Making Day is this Saturday October 3rd, how awesome is that!?! Unscripted Sketches will be hopping on the band wagon and participating in our first ever Blog Hop I am so excited to say the least! We will forgo the sketch for the week and create totally unscripted cards! Candy you wonder? Yes, some of the design team members will indeed have candy, I can't tell you which one's, you'll just have to stop by each and see! I will post little reminders throughout the week in the mean time have a great day! Beth

After 3 days its done...

Granted it wasn't the entire three days but wow this card was labor intensive, I love how it turned out so it's all worth it! I uploaded 4 pictures to give you the grand view of things:









Isn't that fun! I got the card idea from Double Dutch challenges, it's a fun file folder design. I think it's the perfect card, bookmark combo ever! Paper Play challenge was "Spot This",Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge is Animal Antics, One Stop Craft wants "Die Cuts", and Moving Along with the Times has a "Strictly Sparkling" theme to go along with a sketch which I created a very loose interpretation of, and Frosted Designs wants you to Ink/Chalk it up, and finally, The Pink Elephant has a Recipe Challenge of Spots Punches and Tags I know technically it's a book mark but it's tag shaped right?
Well it's a fun start for me to a whole new week I hope your Monday is fabulous and inky fingered! Beth

Unscripted Sketches Saturday # 25 and I did a ...

Layout! Whoa, hard to believe! I don't think I have done a layout for 3 months which is really sad considering I started out as a scraper for years and years! Here, let me show you:












I love scrapping it's just that cards are so precious to me, their scale is smaller not easier, but they really tickle my fancy! Our sketch is fabulous this week but it didn't say card to me and there was this fun photo of my kiddos that jumped into my mind so I knew it was layout time. Here's this weeks sketch #25 for Unscripted Sketches:



Here is what I came up with:



Not many layers but a lot going on none the less, I have a sweet tooth and my children inherited this from me! Luckily they didn't get my childhood crappy teeth as they all got a clean bill of health from the dentist today! I can't wait to see what you come up with for our newest sketch when you put a little of you in us! Beth

***CANDY ALERT***

It pays to stay up way late!

I just thought I'd take a peeksie over at TGF'S Farm Fresh Friday posting and discovered I won last weeks card challenge "Emboss It"! I am weak in the knees I tell ya', I suppose it could be because the caffeine has finally worn off or perhaps I am so darned thrilled! I will be receiving one of their newest set releases Cute Troop In honor of all our Little Troopers out there. We are getting our first grader in on the Scouting action so I am doubly excited! Have an amazing rest of the day, yes I can say that at 12:15 am! Beth aka BR-T
