Hello!!
We are hosting another Designer Drafts Challenge over on the Paper Smooches Challenge Blog!! =) I just LOVE the sketch and have actually created a couple different designs to share some different ways that you could use the Sketch!! =) I started my Design after being INSPIRED by a Picture from a Magazine that I cut out about a Year Ago!! =)
I keep a Design/Sketch Idea Book and I cut Pictures out of Magazines for Inspiration or Draw Sketches!! I try to get to everything, but find I have WAY more Ideas in my Book than I have time to make/create them all!! I used the New Paper Smooches Frame Die 2 and created the Fin Frame/Sardine Can!! I decided to turn it into a Shaker Card!! I Stamped and Embossed the Fish Image from the Paper Smooches Briny Blue Paper Smooches Stamps Set and then used the coordinating Paper Smooches Briny Blue 1 Die Set to cut it out!! I then used the New Paper Smooches Wave Dies to make the Ocean Tide and I layered both Vellum and Cardstock for a FUN dimensional look!! I created a personalized sentiment using Sentiments from both the Paper Smooches Briny Blue Stamp Set and the We Adore You Stamp Set!! A few Sequins from Neat & Tangled finishes off my First Card!!

For my Second Card I Stamped and Embossed a Butterfly Image from the Paper Smooches Flap Happy Stamp Set onto some Patterned Paper!! I then Fussy Cut it out and used the Paper Smooches Butterfly Duets Die Set to Die Cut a Patterned Paper Butterfly and then traced around the Butterfly Die to create a Vellum Layer that was just alittle bigger for another Layer!! I decided to Cut just the Body of the Butterfly from some Black Cardstock and I layered it over all the Layers to Finish it off!! Then I used the Paper Smooches Scalloped Circle Die Set to create a FUN Layer for the Butterfly to rest on!! I Dry Embossed the Largest Scalloped Circle onto the Card Front and then Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and my Card was done!!

For my Last Card I created a similar Butterfly Image using the same Paper Smooches Flap Happy Stamp Set and then I also created a Similar Scalloped Circle Background except I used the Larger Dies!! I stamped a couple of the Heart Trail Images also from the same Stamp Set in the Top corners of the card and then I Die Cut one of the Flags from the Paper Smooches Flag Tags Die Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the same Stamp Set after Masking part of it to fit onto my Banner!! I just LOVE the way it turned out!!  =)

 I hope these have given you several different Ideas on ways that you can use the Designer Sketch and that you'll go and check out the rest of the AMAZING PSSPARKS Design Team to see what they have created!! =)

Hello!!
I hope you're ALL having an AMAZING Weekend!!?? Beckett is on Spring Break, so we were able to get away with some of our Friends and their Kiddos and go Skiing!! It has been just BEAUTIFUL ALL Weekend!! Beckett was SO AMAZED at how it was 76 Degrees at our house in Nebraska and then we traveled just 61/2 hours to Nederland/Eldora Colorado in the Mountains and it was Snowing and 30 Degrees!! It is SO FUNNY how different it can be just miles away!! =)
I'm stopping in to share the New Paper Smooches SPARKS Designer Drafts Challenge!!
I LOVE the sketch for this week and decided to use some of the Newly Released Goodies for my Card!! I've used the Graceful Beauties and Fanciful Frames Stamp Sets and the Butterfly Duet Die Set, Fringe Die, and the Gift Tags Die Set!!

I started by stamping the Largest Butterfly from the Graceful Beauties Stamp Set with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and then I covered it in Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder!! I added the Melissa Francis Vintage Glass Glitter and then Fussy Cut it out!! I layered an Oatmeal Meal Cardstock Butterfly and a Vellum Butterfly using the Butterfly Duet Die Set on top and then added a Confetti Heart Piece from Pretty Pink Posh to finish it off!! For the Fringe I folded some Packing Paper to fit just inside of the Fringe Die so that I could extend the length of the Fringe to fit the entire length of my card!! I LOVE being able to Stretch the uses of my Dies!! =) Then I stitched it along with a couple Sequins to the top part of my card front panel using my Sewing Machine!! I then Die Cut the Second Largest Tag from the Gift Tags Die Set also from some  Oatmeal Meal Cardstock and Vellum and then Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment from the Fanciful Frames Stamp Sets using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Ranger Ultra Clear Embossing Powder!! I added my layered Butterfly and a Bow and layered it on top of the Fringe Border!! I LOVE how it turned out!! =)
I hope you'll join us this week for the Challenge and stop by the rest of the AMAZING Paper Smooches SPARKS Design Team Blogs to see what they have created using the FUN New Designer Drafts Sketch!!

HELLO!!
We're ready for a New Designer Drafts Challenge over on the Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge Blog!! I sure hope you can find some time to play along!!??
I thought it would be FUN to create a Whimsical, but Sweet Valentine's Day Card!!

I wanted to create a FUNNY LOVE STRUCK FACE!! =)
I just LOVE how it turned out!! I've used the Paper Smooches Love-Struck Stamp Set along with the Tiny Hearts and Glasses Dies!!
I wanted to build dimension so I layered several die cuts the glasses from Gold Foil and the nose and mouth arrow from Black Cardstock!! I added some Distress Ink and some 3mm Wiggly Eyes to my Glasses!! I wanted the hair to be like a Buzz Cut and 3-D for a more realistic and FUN look so I stamped and paper pieced the arrows and then folded them up for that 3-D design!! I stamped my sentiment and my card was done!!
I hope you'll join in the FUN this week and that you'll stop by the rest of the Paper Smooches SPARKS DT Blogs to see what they have created!!

Hello!!
Are you ready for another
 Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge!!??
This week we are playing along with the Designer Drafts Sketch and I can't wait to see what you create with this FUN Sketch as your Starting Place!! I had SO MANY Ideas and finally decided on using the PS Leafy Greens and Blissful Banner Stamp Set and coordinating Streamers Dies along with the Stitched Tag Dies and the Flag Tag Dies!! I also used the Hot Spots 1 Dies to create a Stenciling Mask for some FUN stenciling for underneath my Leaf Die Cut!! I used some Tim Holtz Texture Paste over the Stencil and then I inked over it using some Rusty Hinge and Walnut Stain Distress inks to make it POP!! I LOVE the way it turned out!!

I hope you'll go and visit the Rest of the AMAMZING Paper Smooches SPARKS DT to see what they have created!!
