Fabulous Friday

Good Morning,

Thank you to everyone for all your wonderful comments yesterday and the well wishes. I am feeling much better today. After two days of stomach pains and a nagging headache, I am over it.

I have a couple of things to share with you today. I've been talking, lately, about Kristina Werner from KWerner Designs. Well, she's inspired me again and really hit home this time. If you don't know her, I've linked her blog and you have to check out her You Tube videos. She features two spots, Make a Card Monday and Finally Friday. She featured how to create a simple card sketches book and provided a free template. This is the greatest thing. I swear, I am going to make tons more!


So here's the cover of the sketch book. You don't want to add a lot of bumpy things to the front. You need it to lay flat so the bumps don't hinder your drawing. So I used Brocade Blue and broke out a Simply Scrappin' kit that I've been hoarding for years. Decorated the front a bit with some borders, dots and the frame. Then I had these leftover letter stickers from American Crafts, so I used those for the title and then had to write in the rest with my white gel pen. I truly admire those who have beautiful handwriting. I wish I were one of them.


This is the inside. Kristina provided boxes on this template for both portrait and landscape cards. You fill in the rest. I am using this book to draw out sketches for challenges I want to participate in. Then I write above the box which challenge that belongs to and then I've written other challenges I wish to incorporate it with it.



So here's the card I made using the sketch from Crafts 4 Eternity, the colors Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery and Blush Blossom from The Color Dare and Vellum from All That Scraps.

Cardstock: SU! Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Blush Blossom,
Bright White vellum, Neenah Solar Crest White
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Rich Cocoa

I hope you liked my projects that I have for you today. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!
