The Paper Variety has a great card sketch for this week’s challenge. This first card is my entry:

But while I was at it, I figured I might as well make a second card since I already had the trim and materials out. Here’s the one I made just for fun:

As you can see, I just used a mirror image of the sketch for the coordinating second card. 😀 TFL!

Materials:

DCWV All About Boys 6.5″ x 4.5″ stack
American Crafts cream cardstock base
Making Memories trim

Adhesives:

Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro PermaTac
Helmar 450 Quick Dry Liquid
American Crafts This to That foam dots

This is Alex from Christmas 2006. He was so excited that he was finally old enough for a Bionicles figure. I was surprised that he was able to put it together by himself without any help from me! I created this layout based on a sketch for a challenge on Sketchy Thursdays. All the embellishments except the ribbon trim were fussy cut from printed cardstock and I used faux stitching on the outer border.

Materials:

Kraft paper (I do not remember the brand)
American Crafts white cardstock
Teresa Collins Noel cardstock
May Arts black pleated trim
Inkssentials white opaque pen

Adhesives:

Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro Perma Tac
American Crafts This to That foam dots

The Best Gift I Ever Received – You

Well before Matthew was born, a friend of mine had given Taten, Alex and Madison each a fleece blanket. Once Matthew got too big for his baby blanket, he really wanted a blanket like theirs. Alex (a real softy for Matthew) immediately gave him his blanket. When another friend of mine heard about this, she sent him a homemade, handtied fleece blanket for Christmas. It’s backed in red, which is Alex’s favorite color, and has a space theme…one of Alex’s many obsessions. 😀

Materials: Bazzill cardstock background (it was supposed to be black, but I accidentally started adhering the cutout pieces to the wrong paper, so I just went with it. :-P), Webster’s Pages Waiting for Santa Papers, tinsel trim, holiday trim, and diecut stickers, stickles, American Crafts plastic snowflake.

Created using this week’s sketch on the Sketchy Thursdays site. If you’d like to view the sketch or participate in one of their challenges, CLICK HERE.
