The Perfect Sentiment Challenge #11 (PSC11)

Happy Wednesday! Are you guys ready for another great challenge week over at The Perfect Sentiment? This week is a sketch challenge. The challenge: Create a card that reflects a sentiment for Thank You. The twist: Use the following sketch for your inspiration.

Here is the sketch:




Here is the card that I created for the challenge:




For my card, I used the Create A Critter cricut cartridge to cut out my little lamb at 2.5". I used some Trendy Twine for her little bows and for the little knots in the buttons and my sentiment came from the Lots of Pun Joy's Life Stamp Set. The Paper is from Making memories. The sketch really made this card super simple to make and I think it is adorable. I love that little lamb, but then again, I love Create A Critter hehe. All of the animals are too cute!

The Perfect Sentiment Challenge #9 (PSC09)

Happy Wednesday! Are you guys ready for another great challenge week over at The Perfect Sentiment? Since it is the 5th Wednesday of the month, the challenge this week is all about CASE'ing one of the Design Team Members cards. Sounds fun huh? Just remember to give credit to the dt member. :)

Here is the card that I created:



I wanted to make a really simple card but one that still made a statement for my husband. I love giving him cards out of the blue and he loves getting them. Most of the time, I hide them so he is really surprised when he comes across one. For this card, I made a portrait style card and used a border punch to punch 3 different layers. Then I layered them on top of each other and attached them to the bottom of the card. My tickets are a stamp from the dollar bin at Michael's. I just stamped them and then cut them out by hand. I added some ribbon and some photo corners to finish it.

This week, the challenge is being sponsored by the Digital Emporium. Head over to The Perfect Sentiments challenge blog to learn the details of what you could win if you play along as well as looking to see what the rest of the talented ladies on the design team came up with. I hope you will play along with us this week. I look forward to seeing what you create!

The Perfect Sentiment Challenge #1 (PSC01)

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are all doing well. I am so happy to announce that today marks the launch of The Perfect Sentiment challenge blog! Do you ever tend to make mainly birthday cards? Thinking of you cards? I know I do, that's why I love the Perfect Sentiment challenge blog. Every week you will be given a theme to make a card for. That way you can build up your supply and always have the perfect card on hand, whatever the occasion. This week is about sympathy cards. The challenge is to make a sympathy card and to use lace on your card.

Here is what I created:



Sympathy cards are so hard for me to make. I think it's because no one ever wants to think about making one. For my card, I used a digi image from Glitterbabe and framed it with some lace. I added some ribbon to my card base and then popped my frame up with some foam adhesive. I added some glossy accents after I colored just to give it a little shine and added some pearls in each corner. I wanted to keep my card fairly simple, yet elegant.

This week The Perfect Sentiment challenge blog, is very lucky to have a great sponsor! Stef from Glitterbabe Digi's is sponsoring the challenge and will be giving away a $10 gift card to her store for one lucky winner! Pretty cool huh? So, make sure you head over to The Perfect Sentiment Challenge Blog to enter the challenge! You have until Sunday Oct. 9, 2011 (10pm EST) to link up your creation. I look forward to seeing what you create. :)
