Happy Birthday

Hi there! I'm enjoying taking part in challenges that helps me to stay creative and productive :) I feel so happy to play along with Friday Mashup challenge this week. This is my first time participating in the mashup challenge. The challenge is to create a project using the sketch, or using the "brick wall" technique or mash it up and create a project using the sketch and brick wall technique. The brick wall technique is something that I've never tried before. So, I decided to give it a try.

It's time to relax! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Make a Wish!

I'm so inspired looking at Seize the Birthday blog by Lesley Croghan recently, and wanted to play along with her sketch challenges. She is full of energy and has an amazing talent. Wonder how she participates in other challenges and at the same time hosts this great birthday challenge blog. I'm "totally in love" with her work! Well, yesterday I managed to get some free time and made myself to get creative... so came up with this birthday card for this week's sketch by Jen Nelson.

I decided to use mixed patterned papers for this sketch and I layered them on black cardstock. I've never tried layering patterned papers on black cardstock because I usually prefer using ivory, kraft, or white base. But, I took it as a challenge to push myself out of my comfort zone and tried something new and different. So, I picked red on top of black and I really liked the way these three different patterned papers worked so well together.

Super Star Dad!

It's been a month since I shared a card. My craft room was in a big mess. Totally unorganized! Finally, I fixed a date to clean the room and started working on my card for this week Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I made this card for my dad. He is my first hero! Although I couldn't share the day with him, I can show my love by sending him this fun card. So, Daddy this is for you. Love you always! :)

I usually take more time in choosing the right patterned paper that best suits the image/sentiment. But, this colorful stars patterned paper really caught my eyes. Undoubtedly it was the right choice for the sentiment that I decided to use on my card. So, I had no confusion! :) I'm so happy to achieve a bright and colorful card in the end. It was a great challenge indeed!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! :)
