Birthday Wishes

The sketch for this week at the clean&simple blog, FTL175, is a good one; I will definitely use this one over and over.

I used some PTI stamps- Stitches and Swirls and the sentiment is from an older Anniversary set- and papers, the flowers were cut on my Cameo. I outlined the background images with a copic marker just to add a little more dimension.

Treat Yourself VLV

This is for the 4th and final January Viva la Verve sketch challenge, a clean & simple favorite. I did take the liberty to embellish a bit.

The flower from Verve's Great Friend set was jazzed up with some gems from Pizzazzaplenty. The sentiment is from Verve's Sip & Savor set, dontcha just love that font?! And, the Notebook Plain Jane adds a little something extra on the image panel. As per usual lately, all the elements were cut with my Cameo.

Love is Patient

This is for the 3rd January Viva la Verve sketch challenge. I used more Echo Park's Yours Truly papers, I have to say that I just love it!

All the stamps are from Verve's Love Notes set; I also used the Jotted Heart die. I cut the square and the nesties looking shape with my Cameo. The gems are from Pizzazzaplenty.

Take Today

I'm trying to play along with the Viva la Verve challenges (this is the second one for January), I do love their sketches even if some of 'em (like this one) terrify me.

I used my beloved Your Truly paper pack again; cutting all the pieces with my Cameo. The sentiment is from PTI's Daydreamer and I added some silver pearls for the flower centers.

Goodie Box

I am hooked on these super cute boxes from the Silhouette Store, this one has 4 compartments inside to hold lots of goodies. I plan to put covered mint patties in this one, but grabbed the red hots I have on hand at the moment just to give you an idea of what it looks like filled.

Everything was cut with my Cameo; and although you can't really see it in the pic, the rolled flowers were stamped with a background from Taylored Expressions. I haven't been stamping a whole lot lately, but I am hoping to start up again sometime next month. Lots of things going on here.

I don't know about you, but the Yours Truly paper pack from Echo Park is rocking my world, it's so lovely!

Oh, and thanks so much for all the birthday wishes!
