Day 13 Super Sketchy Sunday

After a day on the slopes, I came home to put together this birthday card following the sketch on 365 Cards Blog. With the time change, my internal clock is really off. I am surprised I was able to get this posted! Oh, my! Off to dream land ... looking forward to another challenge tomorrow.

Keep It Simple ... Silly

Wowza! Two posts in one day. In between all my mommy duties for today, I put this card together for the Keep It Simple Card Challenge on 365 Cards Blog. The assignment was to cover the front of the card with patterned paper, add a sentiment and one embellishment. That was my simple task and here is my simple card.

Trendy Card for 365 Cards

Okay, okay so I'm a little bit behind in getting my card posted. I have no excuse other than pure laziness. I always have the best intentions, but sometimes life just gets in the way.

I really, really want to keep pace with the 365 Card Gals. Even though they are on Day 12 ... or perhaps 13 by now ... I plan to catch up! The challenge for Day 9 was to use one of the current trends in paper crafts to inspire your card. I leafed through my March/April Creating Keepsakes and was influenced by pattern-filled shapes. So as I was pondering what type of shape or shapes I wanted to go with, my eyes fell upon a card I recently received from a friend. And, I was off to create ... this.

Finally!

I just finished this layout! My desire to do scrapbook pages right now is waaaay low! I've been loving the card making so much that I've neglected my regular scrapping. This was the year I was going to get things moving and shaking! Well, they have been shaking, but the shaking has nothing to do with paper crafts!

This layout is based on the March Sketch on Crafty Sketches. I'm glad it's done. 2006 was a year FULL of pictures. It's winding down. Look out 2007, here I come!

One Hip Chick

Yep, that's my friend Lynn. We were headed to book club last night to discuss The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and she presented me with my birthday gift. She always manages to find the perfect goodies. Perhaps it's because she knows me so well. Amazingly enough, the bracelet she gave me matched my outfit exquisitely. Man ... I was looking like a hip chick.

As I cruised through my dashboard this morning, I saw the Do the Decade on 365 Cards Blog. I knew instantly that "hip chick" would fit in to the 70's era decade for my thank you note ... to my friend, Lynn aka One Hip Chick! How perfect! Don't you love it when things work out so effortlessly? The card is based on a March 2011 card map.

Arch Card for 365 Cards Challenge

I was intrigued by the Arch Card Challenge on 365 Cards Blog. Since I'm a relative newbie (or noob, as my boys would say) to the card making world, I had to google Arch Card. I love exploring the creativity that's floating out there in cyberspace.

My sister, Susan, gave me Amy Sedaris' book Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People for my birthday. Obviously not a true crafting idea book, but hysterically describes finding your inner crafting mojo and creating. So, of course, I had to create a thank you card for her for sharing this humor with me! This is what I came up with:
