Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #118

My husband and I spent the last few days at the mercy of a very nasty flu and so this week I decided to closely follow the super cute sketch from AHSC. I really don't have much creative mojo in me and I am so thankful that they always give us a really good designs to build on.

For this card I used Gypsy Cardstock which I sanded heavily with my sanding block, the patterned paper is from the Wanderful Paper Packet, White and black Shimmer Trim and my sentiment is a sneak peek of the August Stamp of the Month which I stamped in Gypsy and Black ink. The black line on my blue dot paper I hand drew using a journalling pen. I frequently see this freehand technique on projects and really like the look of it. I have now tried it several on several of my own projects and love the whimsy.

Lest we forget

This time of year is super busy for me helping my crafty friends prepare for Christmas but I wanted to take the time to properly give my respects to Remembrance Day.  Like many Canadians, my grandfathers and great-grandfather's fought in the World Wars.  Their sacrifices and the sacrifices that those "left behind at home" made helped ensure the Canadian peace and lifestyle we can so easily take for granted on a regular day.  So at this time of year, we remember and we say Thank You.

Christmas in July!

For this weeks Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge I decided to do some "Christmas in July"! This card is a mix of current, retired, and soon to be retired products from Close To My Heart.
Current products are the beautiful Fresh Air patterned papers, the Pewter cardstock, and Silver Sequins.  The retired products are the Wood Grain embossing folder used on the Pewter Cardstock (along with a little light sanding) and the Poppy Twine (which can still be found in the Clearance section of my shopping website!).

The soon to be retired... the Poppy and Juniper cardstock that I used to cut out my sentiment and the accent branch.  I bet you are saying WHAT! Poppy and Juniper are retiring!!!  I know, they have long been favorites of mine too but don't panic, I am sure the colours that are replacing them are going to be gorgeous.  The Cricut cuts are; Merry Christmas  - Artiste (retired) and for the Pine Needle Branch - Flower Market.

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciat…
