MFT Wednesday Sketch #38

Happy Tuesday!

I started back to work this past weekend working part-time nights at a nursing home.

What an adjustment! I have worked nights in the past, but just filling in and such.

YIKES! I feel like a zombie after three days in a row and my sleep schedule is all in a mess.

Needless to say, I have not done much crafting. Here's my card for this week's MFT sketch.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Happy Wednesday!

It's been a crazy week. I think my families shedule went on overdrive.

And I think my laundry was trying to take on Mt. Everest.

My Dad's birthday is Sunday and since his favorite things are horses, I dug out my Stampin Up horse stamps, Bareback. I haven't inked this up in a while.

I stamped the horses on Lost & Found Two Sunshine DP by MME with chocolate chip classic ink and then watercolored the sky and grass with baja breeze and old olive. I used vintage photo distress ink around the edges and distressed them a little. The swirls were stamped with distress ink using a SU Bronc Buster stamp. Which I stamped off first. I used a vintage brad from SU.

I used the Fishtail Banner die-namic and Stacking Stars die-namic for my tag. The happy sentiment is from the stamp set in the Strip Banner die-namic set and the birthday is from the Loads of Love Accessories stamp set by SU.  I paper pierced the tag and distressed it and added a brad to the star and  a little stickle glitter to one side. The twill tape also has been distressed. The chocolate chip panel was embossed with the provocraft embossing folder.

Stamps: Bareback (SU), Bronc Buster (SU), Loads of Love Accessories (SU), Strip Banner stamp set ( MFT)

*Scroll down a little if you are looking for my ATS challenge card*

Hi. it's been such a rainy, cold day here in Ohio I stayed all snuggled up in my craft room.

I got my TCPTUES sketch challenge done. This was certainly a challenge. Leigh's working us hard this week. But, I was really happy with how it all came together. If you visit my blog often you know I don't make many masculine cards. I need to get more manly DP and stamps. *GRIN*

But I needed a birthday card for my Uncle Dan and this bunny, Take Off, worked really well. And shocker that I had some masculine papers in my stash (but I really had to dig~the plaid is a single side paper *gasp*).

This is the inside.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless....

Ink: memento tuxedo black, not quite navy (su)

Paper: BoBunny Timepiece, Blue Plaid by Karen Foster, not quite navy and river rock (su)

           corrigated cardboard, and scraps of Lost & Found Two by MME

Happy Wednesday!

I had so much fun last night at the MFT release party.

All you ladies were a hoot! Congratulations to Linda for winning the Guest Designer contest.

You can see all her pretties that she makes HERE.

Thanks to Kim for all the fabulous prizes and fun...can't wait til next month.

Now, on to other business...

I'm trying out some new challenges this week. I've been visiting Amy's blog,

a thousand sheets of paper, quite a bit lately and thought I would try out the ATS Wednesday Challenge. I used the adorable Swiss Miss, Rosalie with roses. It's an easy challenge this week: Anything Goes. I used Karen's Sweet Sunday sketch for the layout.

I used clear star gel pen on her hair tie, buttons on her dress and on the roses.

It's hard to tell in the pic but it gives it some nice sparkle. 

I had some trouble with the banner on the sketch because I didn't want it covering her legs and I didn't like it tucked behind her but was very happy when I remembered the fishtail banner from MFT.

I worked just great!!

Thanks for stopping by and God bless...
