Its Saturday! YEAH!!!! That means it Sketch time.
This week we are once again putting our images at a slant! I have no idea WHY, I’m SO stuck on this idea lately, but I am, and I think its a fun way to place your images for a change.
click to enlarge sketch-hard to see a little.
This week I did 2 again. One more simpler and cleaner that the other. But both still fabulous! I really like the versatility in the sketch.
OMG! I LOVE this card. Its clean, and simple, yet so elegant. I love that this set can give you many looks. Im totally falling in love the the Bohemian style many companies are coming out with. It seems to be a hot trend.
So I used True Friend by SU!, natural ivory, purely pomegranate, old olive, and choc. chip ink/cardstock. Wide satin choc chip ribbon which is just gorgeous!
This was the first card I did for the sketch, and it easily just fell together. Another quickie card. Maybe 15 minutes.
Next up SAY CHARGE! Not such a quickie card.
OMG! Don’t you wish you could get your hubby to smile like that not only while you shopped, but while he carried your bags! LOL!
We have to go Back to School shopping and I can promise Jason will not be smiling. He STILL hasn’t realized that we have THREE kids, who GROW, EVERY year, and that clothes are NOT $1.99 for shirts and $5.99 for pants! SERIOUSLY! The looks I get when the cashier hits the TOTAL button, is just SCARY!
This is Retailfellabella! AmyR sent her my way (thanks girl!) and I LOVE her oodles! Wait till I show Jason this card-he will just die.
So my slanted layer to the left is suppose to be like a charge card! Cute huh? The sentiment is from Say Charge, as is the purse in the upper corner (partially covered by the bella image). The floral strip (in place of credit info) is by The Paper Salon, simply ribbon set.
I was so inspired by this paper by Piggy Tails called Little Red Riding Hood (this one is The Forrest) that it was the inspiration of this card. Images are of course colored with my COPIC markers, which I think Im getting better with.
These colors match SU! Soft Sky, banana, and pomegranate. The darker blue was my by fave person-Martha Stewart! I mean that in a crafty way not a lifestyle way. The stitched ribbon was also from Stampin Up!.
I love the flower Ghost Shape by Heidi Swapp on the lower right of the card. Its the shape as the flowers in my paper. Added some bling by K & co, and was done.
So I hope you get to try the sketch. I think weather you have a simple style or like to layer and get mor involved, as my samples show, then this will be a great sketch for you!
If you try it send us a link! We’d love to see your ideas for it.
Tomorrow more with the Bella’s! Im dusting one off that has gone un-inked for months! YIKES!
Challenge yourself to use an uninked, neglected stamp this weekend. I know I have plenty that fit that category!

These are sooooo cute Lauren! I reallllllly like the first one!
I just don’t carry my DH with me, so no problem.. cute layout and sketch.
Gosh…I really love that Bella card!! I haven’t checked the new Bellas in ages…and I think it’s due time. *wink*
Your True Friend card is very beautiful, and that gorgeous ribbon really sets it off!
Beautiful cards! totaly different, and both soooooooo Great! Your cards always make me want the stamp set you use, only wish I could afford them all!!! Thanks for being so inspiring!
Fabulous cards. Love that bella.
BTW – Lauren, it would really help if you could use a gray scale instead of a solid black on your sketch, ’cause when I print it out, the solid black uses a ton of ink. Thanks, Sweetie.
Thanks so much for the sketch, it’s really great! Here’s my interpretation:
my card
I agree with Lorrie, every time I see your card (which is everyday) I think, I need that one too!!! There does come a time when you have to say No to your self. But, I will wind up with them all, eventually. Your cards are always so nice.
I am not a huge Bella fan, but this card is just SO fabulous!!
I love this sketch, and what great cards. I showed Stef the second one and said, “Look it’s us, honey.” He loves to hold my purse at the mall.
Great sketch, and I love your cards. I didn’t think I would like the wide ribbon in the mini, but seeing it on your card, it is beautiful. The bella card is too cute. And you are so right about the school clothes shopping. Total sticker shock. Thanks for sharing.
We’re heading to the beach for a week and I’m hoping to pack some stamping stuff to take. I’ve printed out the sketch in case I don’t have wireless access for my laptop. 🙂 (I could always cruise around til I pick up a signal…there’s a hotel close by that has it!!) That fellabella stamp is adorable!!!
I just love your cards…
here is mine
