Card Share-Home Sweet Home

Hi scrappers!  It's August 1st can you believe it?!  This is Kate from Sassy and Scrappy and this month I'm keeping it simple and using a sketch.

One of my favorite blogs for sketches and card challenges is The Sweetest Thing, so I'm including a link for you and I encourage you to check it out.  The card measures 6x6-inches.

The 'home sweet home' sentiment and image, along with the file tab are from the Silhouette online store. 

As you can see I don't have a lot of variation from the sketch, which is fine.  I love sketches because you can use them as a jumping off point or take them strictly as they are presented.

Details:

• Card Base:  Bazzil
• Cardstock:  Papertrey Ink (Enchanted Evening and Rustic Cream)
• Pattern Paper:  October Afternoon (a variety of collections)
• Button:  My Mind's Eye
• Ribbon:  Papertrey Ink (Simply Chartreuse)
• 'Destination' Sentiment:  October Afternoon (Boarding Pass)
• Marker:  Stampin' UP (Old Olive)

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I'll see you soon!

Sketch To The Rescue

Hey scrappers, this is Kate from Sassy and Scrappy and I'm happy to be here with you today.  I was looking for a little inspiration and came across a great blog with lots of beautiful cards and great sketches.  I highly recommend you check out The Sweetest Thing.  I found a sketch that I really liked and decided to give it a go.

There weren't any measurements included with the sketch, so I'll include mine.  As always with sketches you can flip and move things around.  I'm using a standard 4 1/4 by 5 1/2-inch card.  Starting from the lower left corner: 3 1/2 x 3, 3 1/2 x 2 1/2, 1 1/4 x 5 and 1 x 5-inches.

The camera is a die cut image from the online Silhouette store.

The banners below were part of the reason I chose the card sketch.  All sort of great sentiments that can be added to a card or layout.

Here's my completed card.  Simple, but great pops of color and patterns.

I decided to create another card using the same sketch.
