Playing with Nina's sketch

Hi everyone!  I have a couple cards to share that are for Nina's Blog Anniversary sketch challenge.  I LOVE this sketch, it is actually the same sketch that I used for most of my Christmas cards last year. 

Both of my cards today use the cute paper from October Afternoon, Ducks In a Row and some new goodies I got from PTI!  Love these patterns in this paper and guess what?  The blue in the patterns are a PERFECT match to PTI's new Hawaiian Shores color.  Yep, perfect match!  Happy sigh...  Oh and I just HAD to get these flower dies.  Soooo pretty!  Nicole is pure genius!

This first card uses a sentiment from Ippity's Regal Greetings set.  I used some of my fav 3/8" velvet ribbon and Split Pea rhinestones, both of which match Old Olive very nicely!

This next card uses a sentiment from PTI's Birthday Basics and a piece of crocheted trim from Webster's Pages.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening.

Friday Friends with Flair

Hi everyone! I am happy to have time to play along for this week's Friday Friends with Flair! I am happy to have a baby boy card to share today! Angela has the master list of all the 50 designers participating in the FWF this week! Take a lookie at the Unity Blog for the names/links of more Unity goodness.

My card features Ippity's Moon Beam and Heart Strings set. I used this week's SCS sketch -which had the perfect focal panel to stamp the stars and moon strings image with the sentiment across the top.

I hung a moon charm from the top ribbon knot that I have had in my stash for years. I added touches of orange throughout the card for pops of color. The soft pattern paper is from October Afternoon, Ducks in a Row. I just wish more could be shown, but the sketch didn't allow for it.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
