Cute Little Jellyfish

I really liked working with this sketch.  FMS #751 came together after some thought.



My background paper is Hello Summer by Reminisce.

The little Jellyfish is a die by Cottage Cutz.

I used two different sizes of Stitched Jumbo Fishtail Flags by My Favorite Things.

The sentiment is from Waffle Flower called Under The Sea Sentiments.

Toolbox of Tools

This card is for The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #PP800.  It turned out to be a masculine card.


My background paper is Vintage Woodwork by Memory-Place.

I embossed a piece of light blue cardstock with Tools embossing folder by Crafts-Too then layered that onto a piece of gray cardstock.

The toolbox is a die set by Impression Obsession called Wooden Toolbox and the tools are also from a die set by Impression Obsession called Hand Tools.

The sentiment is from a Honey Bee stamp set called Nailed It.

I popped up the toolbox with foam strips onto the embossed cardstock.

Happy Fall

It's getting close to the weekend and I decided to get this card posted for The Paper Players challenge PP799.  Autumn is just around the corner.

I went with a barrel filled with leaves and autumn veggies.



I used Wood Planks 3D embossing folder by Honey Bee Stamps for the background.

The Wood Barrel die is by Sunny Studio.

The veggies and leaves inside the barrel are from Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Fall Bounty.

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn: Giant Happy Fall.

I added an acorn just for good measure. 😊

Read A Book Or Two

Here's my take on Freshly Made Sketches #748.  If I had to do it again, I would have done the sentiment a little differently.  I would not have stamped it directly onto the paper.  Oh well. 😕


The background paper is from a paper pack by Carta Bella called My Favorite Things.

The books are from Open Book Trio die set by Waffle Flower.

The sentiment is also from Waffle Flower: Inside Sentiments Book Lover.

A Cool Drink of Lemonade

This card is for Try A Sketch On Tuesday TSOT #699.  

It's summer and time for a glass of lemonade.


The background paper I used is from an Echo Park paper pad called Sunkissed.

I used a die set by Lawn Fawn called Fresh Lemonade for my focal image.  Isn't it cute.  

The sentiment is from Altenew called Zesty Life.
