Yes, I am aware its NOT Saturday-its Friday eve. Im busy ALL day tomorrow-so decided to post early.
Click thumbnail to view larger version. This sketch serves as an inspiration point. As you play around feel free to mix it up as you wish-you will see I did this with my samples as well!
Boy did I get carried away today! I drew up this sketch, then went to town!
Not only is this sketch meant for 3 images , but I did three samples too. I like how my samples are each different enough to show you a couple takes on the sketch itself. You can have it simpler, or add lots of detail-its all up to YOU how basic you want to keep it.
If you try it out, send me a link in the comments section-that way I can visit your creation and other readers can have a peek too!
Penguins at Play
If you know me you know I LOVE penguins! LOVE them! They are like my butterflies of winter!
So when the Cat’s Pajama’s released their clear swanky sets—->here I went NUTS! I had to have all 3 sets! What a deal they are too! Im so in love with their images. There are many more to come-so keep checkin in!
This set is the Kitty Christmas. Basically I was inspired by the ribbon I got at Target-DOLLAR SPOT! HELLO! Superlicious deal! Target has like the best dollar spot EVER.
colors-soft sky, banana, celery, rose red, regal rose
I had to use yellow in my Christmasy/wintery card after seeing Stefanie’s card —->here.
Penguins are colored with my Copic’s, and stickles (crystal ice is my favorite and most used one)made the snow. The chipboard sticker is also Target $1 spot. Cute eh?
Next Up-Cold Elements!
This card uses another favorite Christmas set of mine called Christmas in the City. Its by Lizzie Anne, and I have quite a few items using this set that will soon be published 😀 Really cute! Im so glad winter is sorta long so I get some good use from these sets!
My focus was WINTERY hellos, not necessarily CHRISTMAS cards-cause then Im limited as to what I can do with them. Not that I ever really MAIL them to anyone! Naughty!!!
Well the ribbon and colors are the same as above! Ribbon from Target! Lots of GLITTER! I used another chipboard piece from that set as well! Isn’t this so cute? A little different take on the sketch.

Last but not least, my simple version!
PINK! I love pink! I wanted fast, and simple-this was a under 10 minute card EASY! I already had my sketch in mind-so the rest fell into place.
This just used some GORGEOUS Esprit Prima’s as the focus! What more do you really need?
For the flower centers I punched some vellum cardstock using my Spring Bouquet punch from SU! Added some adhesive Rhinestones-
Ribbon is by SEI!
The butterfly is another one of those SCRUMPTIOUS Heidi Swap Ghost shapes-only butterflies! HELLO! AWESOME! Used some stickles for the butterfly body so it wasnt clear. I use glue dots to adhere these. No show adhesive!
The sentiment is by SU! Stem Sayings-love that set. It was perfect for this, and it was stamped with a brilliance ink in orchid 😀
WHEW! That was alot for one little post! Hope you like the sketch! I have a crazy weekend!
Hope you get to enjoy your time as fall creeps through. Do you realize we are smack in the MIDDLE of September?! OMW! Where are the days going?
Thanks for reading. Cant wait to see what YOU do.
Anyone staying up for the Paper Trey Ink reveal? You know I am!
Till tomorrow-

Wow, wow, wow Lauren! Great sketch!! I especially love your penguin card. How cute are they with their see no evil thing. I also love the small vellum flowers in the centers of the primas. It’s those little touches that make your cards so special.
All three cards are perfect! Love them! I am going to try and do the sketch, but first I am doing last weeks…
STUNNING Lauren! This is an awesome sketch! Love how you showed so many different examples! Love the butterfly on the last one….simply gorgeous! I will give this a go tomorrow and post my link then! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
All of these are amazing, I love each one. That sketch is wondeful, i’m excited to try it. Thanks for the inspiration !
Fabulous penguin card…gotta love TCP!
Love all three of these, Girlfriend! Awesome job and sketch! I had to get that TCP set, too! It was hard not to get all three!!!
All of your samples are So cute!! Sweet Whimsical and Fun!!!!
I love this sketch. I will have to try this, this weekend. 🙂
I love what you did with new TCP’s sets!! I too am “CRAZY” for those penguins.
Wow! Love the sketch AND the samples. I should have some free time today..I just might have to make one! 😉
Love the sketch, love your cards, I can’t wait to try it. =)
Ohhhh! So very cute! I love the penguinsand the mittens! they are all fantastic!
Seeing the three cards based on the sketch was such a treat! But really, Lauren — you are “over-functioning” Love ’em all!
Wonderful cards!! Your first two are so cute, and your last one is so pretty! That butterfly is way cool!
Great cards!! (I have a soft spot for penguins also!!)
I have pretty much the same Target finds ;-)… and it’s nice to see how you can incorporate them in something that looks so good! 🙂
Also I really love how you show 3 very different cards with the same base layout.
Here’s my take on the challenge. Good sketch!

Gorgeous Lauren; all of them. My fav is those penguins though. They’re just too cute.
Lauren these are all so fun and cute! Great sketch. I made one for Alexa after reading her story.

I’m a pink girl, too! Love the three primas and the butterfly. All are fantastic, and a great layout! It’s often hard for me to incorporate my smaller images and this is perfect.
WOW! Great cards. I love them all.

Here is my card. This is a great sketch. I also want to do a card using circles instead of squares.

So So Beautiful. I love them all but that last one (the pink one) is perfection. Can you let me know if those Esprit Primas are ‘paper’ or ‘material”? If they are material I am so ordering!!
totally love this sketch!
Your cards are Fabulous!!! I made 2 myself…you can check them out here… http://militarywifestampinspot.blogspot.com/ Thanks for the inspiration! {smiles}
