Thanks for all the love everyone about me becoming an aunt! I can’t believe how excited I really am.
I am so enjoying the weekly sketch, I have to say that everyone who participates is REALLY rockin them out! So thank you for participating, as it is pure joy for me to check out your take on it.
sSo that being said, its sketchy sketchy time-
This week is a simple design that I had fun using.
Feel free to use the keyword mytimess04 if you upload to a gallery (code not required-just easy to locate others) Use your creative liberty to interpret the sketch any way that gets those creative juices flowing!
Here is my simple sample using really rust, basic black, and ivory-with a touch of copper.
daydream-
I love that sentiment! You cannot tell by the photo but the flower is colored with copper pearl-ex and Future Floor Wax! Nice shimmer
These images are from last months KOTM from Unity. I caved and got a subscription 😀 This is my first time using it though. I would love to have played more. I think I will. I am going to re-do my sketch. More to come!
It has been SO HOT here, and my mojo is so lacking-as evidenced by my card :C Oh well, it shall come home eventually. Im just in a hole of making things Im not crazy about. I know we all have those days.
Don’t miss the sketch team and their take this week! I am sure you will be inspired to give it a go!
Now time for peeky peeky
Is he not adorable? I love him. He is from C.C. Designs newest (to be released) set called Spooky Spooky Spooky, and is being released on the 9th! Don’t miss your chance to win this set and more peeks/details HERE!
I just cut a card box in 1/2 and put in a bag of sour gummy worms. I could NOT open the bag for fear I would eat them! This design team stuff is hard making samples for all these YUMMY holidays when you are avoiding all this stuff. I am doing so good on my new healthy lifestyle I dont want to go south! The best part is when people who have no idea you are working out say “Oh my gosh! You look great!” That happened to me yesterday!! Amber’s pre-K teachers just looked at me said you must have lost a ton of weight 😀 You look so skinny! YEAH! That felt awesome to hear. I don’t own a scale but have been working out daily, and eatting healthy for 4 weeks and am noticing a big difference in my clothing. Even more so, over 2 weeks without coffee! THAT is insane. Not too much more to go. I am totally going to get to my goal this time.
OK back to the projects-sorry I got a little off track there. If you could be in my brain for 5 minutes……..you’d have a headache. It just runs and runs.
Again Im not thrilled with this complete project but I was happy with the coloring 😀 I will have to make more samples when the mojo is back. I think its the heat? Its leaving me s uninspired these days.
Well enjoy the weekend. Tomorrow I have MORE peeks and a fun tip to share to get your hiney in shape and give you some “puter time too!
Later!

I am on a roll with the sketches and challenges the last couple of days, so I am off to do this one too. I am in trouble with this CC release I can already tell. That bear is so cute. Tell me there is not a monkey dressed up as something, I have been able to resist the bear so far but the monkey is my downfall. Gets me everytime! Have a great weekend. Stay dry. -Molly B
Your sketch card is so soft and sweet. I love the flowers and the other card with the little vampire bear is just adorable!
Love the card and your super cute CC peek! Love those little guys! This sketch was super fun, too!
Awesome job! Of course I totally looked at the sketch in a different way. for some reason I didn’t think of all the black as part of the card. I thought the white was! LOLOL!! Can we say KOO KOO Maria! LOL! I did post what I made and I will try and play again later! Sigh….
That bear is just TOO cute…seriously. But – I’m not buyin’ him…nope, not gonna cave…yet 😉
Lovin’ your sketch too – I have some things I need to get out of here, so I’m going to put it to use 🙂 Thanks for a great starting point!!
Have a great weekend friend!
Fantastic Lauren! Those Unity stamps are gorgeous and I LOVE colouring with the pearl ex and Future floor wax…haven’t done that in a LONG time! Thanks for the reminder!
Your CC Designs sample is so adorable! Love how you coloured him….so cute!
I love your take on the sketch! Beautiful!
Lauren,
I just have to tell you that your cards are beautiful… I wish I could stamp the way you do when you don’t have your mojo, let alone when you have it!
Congratulations on becoming an aunt, even if you have to wait a few months!
Thanks for sharing so much with us,
Carmen

OMG! Love that first card – need my address so you can send it to me?! It “says” my favorite activity (next to sleeping that is! LOL) I mean, if I crafted as fast as I daydreamed about crafting I might be able to keep up with some of you awesome scrapper/crafters out there! Like YOU!! You’re always rocking your samples! LOL!
These are just fabulous, Lauren! What an adorable treat bag!
Oh girl! Your sketch card is so pretty! Congrats on the expected aunt status. Sounds like you’ll be having a full house.
These are too cute! What an adorable bag – I think I’ll have to get that stamp!
haha- I don’t know what you’re talking about! I think that dandilion card is beautiful, and the Halloween box is sooo cute!!! Your sketch looks great too, can’t wait to play! Thanks!
The count is adorable! I love the layout on the dandelion too. That’s unique and very nice!
Lauren,
I LOVE your daydream card!! Love the fall colors and the way you colored just one dandelion. Beautiful!!!
Soooooooo cute!
LOVE that card you did for your sketch. Need to do more spotlighting – I haven’t done it forever.
Congrats on the weight loss and your sticking to your new workout and healthy eating routine. It feels SO good when other notice and gives you incentive to keep at it! As for the coffee – I kicked it when I was pregnant with my first and haven’t had any for about 12 years (except the odd weak cup when I have needed to be awake to function and then BOY does it work!!).
sweet cards! I LOVE the CC Designs Dracula & bat – ubber cute!! Congrats on the weight loss (it feels good when it is noticed!) keep it up! Here are my cards from last week & this week in one post!
Sketchy Time: Purrfect Friends & Ghoulish Greetings
I haven’t been on any blogs for a week or so with school starting up. I’m amazed at all of your gorgeous creations. I love your sketch card. The spotlighting is a real WOW!
Your “count” is adorable. But I really like the dandelion card.
Happy baby times to the Auntie to be:-)
Hey Lauren I made this card using your sketch. It was more simple than planned, but I still like it! I used purple just for you! 🙂

I love the first card so much! Something about dandelions and butterflies :o) I think they just remind me of my childhood. I don’t think your mojo has gone anywhere! Love the coloring on the little Dracula too!
I love that dandelion card – it’s stunning and really different. I don’t know what you’re talking about mojo going somewhere… obviously it came back.
The Count is just adorable and that red really sets him off! I’m glad you’re doing really well with your – how do I say – healthy lifestyle? It’s such positive reinforcement when someone notices, not that you don’t feel good already!
Love the card Lauren, nice effect with the one colored flower.
Hi Lauren! I love your blog, your cards are so cute! I need to update my dusty blog…I am so short on stamping time…anyhow I am looking forward to hear your tips on puter time and losing weight as even though I am a runner I need to get rid of 20 lbs 😉 Have a great weekend!
Wow, more fabulous eye candy! I get inspored every time I visit.
Love the sketch, here is my card:

Lauren, your cards are so cute (past and present) and your 3-D projects so professional looking. I love them all! I love your take on your own sketch and your little bear is colored way beyond perfection! Awesome work!! Love the new look of your blog. It’s different from my last visit–very cool!
ok Lauren… I decided to make another card using your sketch! Thanks so much!
