Southern Scraps

I created some gift card holders .  For design inspiration, I turned to some of  my favorite sketch sites. The first card is created with this week's sketch from The Sweet Stop . I turned the sketch sideways. Image is from Heather Ellis- Pure Innocence and is colored with copic markers. Papers are from Cosmo Cricket. Next is a card/gift card holder   using the sketch from CPS . I put the sentiment tag on the opposite side. I thought it worked better on this card there. This image is one of the Darling Sisters by The Greeting Farm . Image is colored with Copics. Papers are by K&Co. Here's a little tip for making those corners. Punch a scalloped circle with a 1 1/4 inch scalloped circle punch. Cut in half and then in half again to make four corners. Thanks for stopping by. I may be linking these to the parties on the side.

Sharing a quick little card I made with TGF stamps using CPS 187 sketch . TGF had to challenge to make a regular stamp into a Halloween theme. I took a Dressy Anya and colored her in a Halloween theme. I put a spider button on her hat. Tip: I don't have the web border punch, so I punched strip and cut it apart for my corners. Paper: Making Memories, Bazzill cardstock Stamps: TGF Tools: Nestabilities, Martha Stewart border punch, Copics Accents: Button

Okay, I got supper done and had time to finish another card. Here is my take on this week's Sketch Saturday . I combined this with TGF FF challenge which was a goth theme inspired by this photo- Paper: DCWV Rockstar; Bazzill Stamp: TGF Tools: Nestabilities, copics Accents: Stitching

Makes me want some ice cream. Maybe it's just because I'm hungry. Here's a quick post to share my ATS card made with the Card Patterns layout (quick because I have to go cook dinner!) I was inspired by the guest designer's card to use the ribbon but didn't go all out like she did. The ATS challenge is for pink and brown. I love that combo. Paper: Making Memories Stamp: TGF Tools: Copics Accents: Flowers, brads, ribbon, charm

Hi, I haven't posted in a week. I've been on a trip this week for four days and just returned. The later part of last week I was getting ready for the trip. I managed to squeeze this one card in tonight as I'm winding down from my flight and time away. This one was made for Friday Sketchers.

The Club Anya WCW challenge was to use this photo for color inspiration. It really is a fun combo. I used BasicGrey Marrakech papers to achieve the look I was going for. The layout of my card is based on the sketch at ASpoonful of Sugar this week. My card has lots of layers so I'm also submitting this for the Stamp Something challenge . Miss Anya Dressy is also quite "girly" with her flowers and rhinestones- I'm linking this one at Anyone for Anya . Here is my card:

I've got another card featuring a TGF Anya- Miss Anya Dressy. For a long time I resisted these stamps- too cutsie, too childish for me. But.. I kept seeing all the fabulous creations with them out there and started following the TFG blog and decided to try a few. Now I'm hooked. Stamp: The Greeting Farm Papers: We R Memory Keepers; Cosmo Cricket Tools: Nestabilities; Copics Accents: Ribbon, rhinestones- butterfly from hairpin Did you notice in my list above that the butterfly on her hat is from a hair pin? Yep, I had some pins that I knew I would not wear but saved them cause I thought I could use them on a project one day. This card is for the following challenges: Club Anya- empherma (the butterfly ) Roses on Paper- Layers Anya Ink- Pink and sparkly Stamptacular Sunday- Spots and Dots The Pink Elephant- Recipe - 1 image, 2 dies, 3 embellies ( I used oval die and labels four and three rhinestones) Thanks for looking and have a great weekend. I'm off to plant some flowers t...

I played with my new BasicGrey green at heart paper . I've had it for a couple of weeks but just got to tear into it today. I made a card for the BasicGrey challenges blog sketch challenge . I made my sentiment a circle as I was working in the Anyone for Anya challenge - 3 of a shape, 2 of another, and 1 of another. I have three squares, two rectangles and a circle. I used some flowers and pearl cabachons to fit in the All Sorts petals and pearls challenge . I did some real stitching today ( Stamp Something's challenge ) and added some distressing on the outer edges for the ATS challenge . ATS carries this lovely Miss Anya Dressy. Here is my card: Paper: BasicGrey; Bazzill cardstock Stamp:TGF Tools: Copics, square nestabilities, circle punch, scalloped circle punch Accents: Prima flowers, cabachons

I've squeezed in a few more challenges this afternoon. I've used a kraft base for the Crazy4Challenges kraft challenge and this WS Ebony stamp from TGF for the Club Anya WCW challenge. The layout of the card used the sketch at Paper Sundaes . Simon Says has a challenge to make a card for a child. I think this green hair would make any child happy! And I came across a challenge for lime, black, and flowers on Creative Inspirations Challenge Blog .

and all dressed up! I've used this Miss Anya dressy for the sketch challenge at Club Anya . I colored here with copics, BG49, Y17, and E39. Those were the closest colors I had for the Copic Colour challenge this week. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! I'm cutting it short 'cause I gotta go to work.

I made this for the FFF challenge and for the card drive at TFG blog . Since the gallery is down, we are to link it elsewhere... so here it is. The stamp is one of the Dressy Anyas and paper is by Cosmo Cricket. I colored her with copics. I did some sponging with Distress Ink. Thanks for looking.
