Each Saturday, my friend Amy at My Creative Clutter creates a challenge. This card uses Amy's Saturday Sketch from Sept 12/09 and her challenge from Oct 10th, which was a color challenge - red, orange & brown! I created this fall-themed card for my sister's anniversary, which is on Friday.

Time for another Digital-Ink Co Challenge

This week's challenge is a recipe - 2 patterned papers & 3 buttons, brads or eyelets - and we used a Beary Dust Stamps & Clipart image! I was pretty excited to color up the Bedtime Girl, as I'm a lover of bedtime. I used my friend Amy's Saturday Sketch from Sept 5th for this layout.

'Hawks Fans

Stamps: TFG Quarterback Ian

Paper: White, Not Quite Navy, Blue Bayou, Blue Bayou DSP,

Ink: Versamark Black, Markers

Accessories: Dimensionals, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug Birthday Embossing Folder, Crystal Brads

 

Let me first say "I AM NOT A SEAHAWKS FAN". Okay. I feel better now. If you don't know who 'my' team is...you will soon enough, as I can't get enough of this adorable Ian image from TGF. (hint - my team colors are red, blue & grey - and our QB is married to a supermodel who isn't me) But my Brother in Law is a fan, so I hope he likes his Birthday card (Saturday!) We're celebrating with him on Sunday at the race track, which we seem to get to once a year for some cheap fun (because I'm CHEAP!)

The sketch was one that my wonderful friend Amy posted last Saturday. She's so talented. I can't wait to see what she's got this Saturday.

There's no Bellarific Friday Sketch this week, but I've got Bellas and I wanted to ink 'em up, so be ready for them this weekend!

Upsy Daisy Birthday Wishes

Stamps: Upsy Daisy, StampTV Elegant Flowers (Gina K)
Paper: Maine Blueberry DSP, Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Whisper White, Bashful Blue
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Old Olive
Accessories: Nestabilities, Wavy Blade on Cutter

It's Saturday, so I'm sure Amy at My Creative Clutter has another great sketch and I can't wait to play along. I completed this card for last week's sketch. I really enjoy playing along with the sketches that other people create. While my proportions still need a little work, I love when an image immediately comes to mind when I see a certain sketch.

Amy's also got 25 cards up for grabs as blog candy if you head over, become a follower (trust me, you'll want to!) and link to her site.

Today's the day I gift away the last six days worth of cards for my Aunt's birthday, so fingers crossed that she likes them. Make sure you leave a link to your site so I can check out your weekend creations when I'm back in the land of the nerds (aka - HOME!)

For You My Friend

This was a sketch that Amy created for her Saturday sketches over at My Creative Clutter. I was able to complete the last two Saturday's sketches and I'm really hoping to keep up with her sketches, as they're a great starting point for me!

Stamps: StampTV Elegant Flowers (Gina K)
Paper: Maine Blueberry DSP, Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Whisper White, Bashful Blue
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Old Olive
Accessories: Nestabilities

I think I only have one more card from this gift set to show and I hope I'm not boring you to tears with the color combo, which is a fave, inspired by that sweet retired DSP, Maine Blueberry.

My riding lesson with Zeus was a blast and I was hoping to bring out my camera next week to get some pics of the sweet boy, but I checked the schedule and Trapper's back next lesson! I'm excited to have him back, but at the same time,  a little sad because Zeus has been a fun change of pace (well, if you can call freight train a pace) =)

We finished up everything for MrP's Grandmother's arrangements, so it's back to work today. Thankfully, I've got Friday off - and I'm heading to visit family for the weekend. Oh how I do not relish 5 hours of driving, each direction. Oh well - my aunt's worth it!!

Have a great day. Thanks for stopping by on Mini Friday!
