Same Sketch, different card

Good morning everyone, welcome to Friday!  Looking forward to another great FWF, a fantastic weekend and the promise of some cooler weather!  The first card I have to share today is based on the same sketch as yesterday's card, but a totally different look.  I used scraps of Jenni Bowlin, the "Faith Blooms" kit and the oh so wonderful "Just Wanted to Say" set.  A hand doodled border around the image, a snippet of ribbon and those adorable tiny staples finish it off.

The second card is a super simple CAS card made for this week's Castastic challenge,which called for a Kraft-y Kreation.    So - I wanted to see if my new sizzix Rose die would cut felt.  It did.  that made me happy:  Sentiment from the "Just wanted to Say" set.  again.  Cause they fit on tiny tags so nicely.

Thanks for stopping by, have fun searching through all the amazing participants on your quest for the blinkie!

How I love a long weekend!

Happy Monday everyone, hope you all had a wonderful 4th!  All three children were home with their significant others so I had a fantastic weekend!  Today however is the kind of day where you should just hide in an air conditioned room.  (happily my scraproom is just that!)  I have a pair of cards to share with you for todays h{ippity} hop.  First is a card I made last night based on a sketch for the Castastic challenge this week.  No earthshattering techniques - just a simple little card using some Basic Grey scraps I had on my table and the sentiment from the "Faith Blooms" set. 

Next is a card I made based on this week's Card Patterns sketch, # 71.  More Basic Grey , the "Fall For You" set - some ribbon, buttons and dew drops finish this card off:

Thanks for stopping by, your next stop is Jen, who happens to be this week's Growing in Unity gal!  The full list of participants can be found on the {ippity} blog!
