Bigsby's Christmas Cookies

Welcome everyone to another Unscripted Sketches Saturday! This week there is another amazing sketch to use, and I have a special image that works perfectly!

Here is the sketch:

And this is my interpretation:

This little mouse is named Bigsby ~ isn't he darling? He is a digital stamp image by Karen Johnson who will be launching her new site with digital images and rubber stamps very soon. Bigsby is free image that I was sent. Please watch for her launch.

Be sure to drop by the Unscripted Blog where you can play along with us. Remember to use Mr. Linky so we can all see what sketch goodness you come up with this week.

Supplies: American Crafts printed paper and cardstock, Nestabilities, Copics, Karen Johnson image Bigsby Mouse Christmas Cookies, Crafty Secrets sentiment stamp, brad, Memento ink.

Sketch 28

Woo hoo! I'm getting my Christmas cards done one at a time! I've got to find some time to sit down for a marathon and finish up, but until then I'll be happy with any progress I make.

This week the sketch at Unscripted Sketches is awesome! As usual, I modified my project quite a bit, but thankfully the US gals encourage that (whew). First, here is the sketch:

Now, my interpretation ~ flipped and condensed :

I hope you can see the elements I used from the sketch ... the 3 embellishments on one side, and 1 on the opposite, the sticker across the bottom, the square frame, etc. I like this one so much I plan to make a few more.

Now for fun, I want to show you the base card cut using a Cricut machine:

Yep, plain Jane (no offense to Jane). It's amazing what a little paper piecing and a few well placed embellishments can do for a card's confidence. hehe.

Hop on over to Unscripted Sketches and give the sketch a try. Be sure to use Mr. Linky so we can check out your projects too!

Supplies: Crafty Secrets sentiment (clear stamp), SU cardstock, Basic Grey Figgy Pudding pattern paper, pearls, Cricut Winter Wonderland cartridge, Memento Cocoa ink.

Santa's watching ...

It's barely fall and I'm ready to make Christmas cards! This week's sketch at Unscripted Sketches was perfect for the images I wanted to use. Here is the sketch:


And here is my card:




With virtually no stamping! Wow. I bought some yummie Christmas images from Crafty Secrets at the Heirloom Rubber Stamp show the other week. Their products have a gorgeous vintage flavor. I could have taken the entire booth home with me!

Supplies: Crafty Secrets images & clear stamps, Provocraft printed paper, SU Brushed Gold cardstock, Martha Stewart border punch, Stickles, Memento inks.

My Crafty Secrets

... that title is just a teaser. I wanted to briefly share a photo of my work table today ~ I'm working on a few Christmas items from an awesome company called Crafty Secrets. :) When I'm finished I'll be sure to post pics here.

I also wanted to let you know that in recognition of World Cardmaking day, the Unscripted Gals are having a blog hop Saturday and there may be blog candy involved! Be sure to check back on Saturday.
