Sketch Frenzy Friday 122812

Hi Stampers!

Boy, have I been AWOL!!!  My last post was Nov 12!!!  I think Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the several craft and vendor shows in which I participated sapped my strength.  But I'm back now and plan to post regularly!

Of course it's time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday creation.  Here is the sketch, created by Sharon Wheet:

This is such a cute sketch!  As you know, a sketch can be interpretated strictly or used as a starting point.  So my creation in My Digital Studio this week is definitely a loose interpretation of the sketch.  Take a look:

 

So where did I get the idea????  Why from My Digital Studio itself!!!  There is a designer card that looks very similar to this, and it even has the same greeting.  I changed the background paper, the snowflake, the strip of DSP and added the ribbon.  The colors are Baja Breeze, Real Red, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White.  For the background snowflakes, I changed the opacity to 50%, so that they would be less prominent than the heart, mittens, and ribbon.  I would love to know what you think of my little project, so feel free to leave a comment if you like!

As you know, I am linking you back to the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG, where you can see what the other designers have created.  I have already looked at them, and they are wonderful!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 10-19-12

Hi Stampers:

Another great day for Sketch FrenzyFriday!  Although we are supposed to get showers in my area, Fridays are always the best.  And speaking of the best--how about this sketch created by Sharon:

 



 

And here is my card--created in My Digital Studio:

 

I was definitely in an autumn mood when I created this!  Colors used are Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, MORE Mustard, and Chocolate chip.  My Digital Studio has a lot of punches that in the paper and ink world are stamps. The leaf and acorn shapes are punches, but in the ink and paper version, they are stamps in the Wonderfall stamp set (w-128084, c-128087), and you can cut them out with the Autumn Accents Bigz die (127812) and your Big Shot (113439).  I love working with both ink and paper AND My Digital Studio!  If you need supplies to create this card, click on my Order button in the left sidebar. 

With our new format, you can go to the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG, where you can see all the designers' creations and click on them to visit their blogs.  We love it when you visit us!!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--A Simple Card

Hi Stampers:

It's Friday again and you know what that means--Sketch Frenzy Friday!!! Here's our sketch from the fabulous Patrice Herrera:


I loved Patrice's sketch, but of course, added my own twist to it. I started by creating my card in MDS. As you know, I do quite a few cards in MDS. Here is what I did:

• Spook Central More Mustard with dots DSP--without rounded corners (my twist!)





• Two tags, enlarged and turned at an angle per the sketch





• Two strips of Chocolate Chip Satin ribbon made slightly narrower along with a smaller Chocolate Chip bow





• Sentiment from the Fabulous Phrases stamp brush set in Chocolate Chip





• Three Chocolate Chip brads

Really, the only change I made was not using a layer with rounded corners, otherwise, it's pretty true to the sketch!

It's Sketch Frenzy Friday!!

Hi Stampers:

On Thursday, I drove up to my downline's house (hi Casey!) to stamp with her and another demonstrator, Amy. We had a great time! And I was so busy working on other projects that I DID NOT stamp anything for SFF! So, guess what? You're right! I used My Digital Studio again. Before I show you my creation, let's look at our sketch this week:

Tammy Fite is our artist this week, and I think it's a great sketch! Here's my creation:

I used 2 of the Botanical Gazette papers plus a Pear Pizzazz layer and a Very Vanilla layer. The base is Daffodil Delight. Now that spring is on it's way--don't laugh!--I decided to use a couple of brighter colors. I love Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz! The different layers were made with the 1-1/4" punch resized. And you can also see Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon and bow. I wish they would add Daffodil Delight to the Satin Ribbon selections in MDS. Hmmm, maybe I should send that suggestion to Stampin' Up!

To see more examples, you can go to Melinda's Blog or to the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog. Please join us by uploading your creation to the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog!

SFF 11-05-10--An Early Post

Hi Stampers!

It's not QUITE Friday yet, but we're posting a little early because some of our artists are participating in the Late Nite Stampers Royal Blog Tour--be sure to check it out!

The sketch this week is by Tess Davis:









Cute, isn't it? Here's my interpretation using--what else?--My Digital Studio:



Since Halloween is over, I can now do Christmas projects! This project uses the Christmas Jingle Designer Series Paper which is alive and well in MDS! Colors are Old Olive, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White. The stamp images are from the stamp brush set A Holly, Jolly Christmas.

It's Sketch Frenzy Friday!

Hi Stampers:



Today we have a sketch by Brenda:

I chose to follow the layout closely, and created this card in MDS:

I used Crumb Cake, Peach Parfait, Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip for my colors. The faux ribbon across the card is Chocolate Chip stitching--one of the embellishments in MDS. In addition, I created my own sentiment and typed it on the card.

Sketch Frenzy Friday 9-10-10

Hi Stampers!

It's beautiful weather here in Cincinnati. I woke up this morning to cool temps and blue, blue skies! Too bad I have to spend the day in an office! Oh, well, there's always the way cool SFF sketch to keep me happy inside! And here it is:

This sketch comes to us from Tammy Baldwin. Isn't it great? I just love it! Too bad I didn't have time to STAMP a card. Instead, I created my card in MDS. I LOVE MDS!! I have done several of these sketches in MDS. The nice thing about it is that I now have a small library of cards that I can print, or have printed thru Stampin' Up! to have on hand for sending! Here is my interpretation of the sketch--very much a copy:
I used Very Vanilla cardstock as the base, layered with the small flower designer paper design in Chocolate Chip, then more layers of Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip. All of the layers were created with the square punch and adjusted to size. I then used the large flower punch in Very Vanilla and the small flowers paper fill in Chocolate Chip. The sentiment is from the Always stamp brush set--it was so easy to change the color of the font to Very Vanilla. I also used the Very Vanilla brads and Very Vanilla satin ribbon as embellishments. Everything is in MDS and so easy to put together!

Sketch Frenzy Friday

Hi Stampers:

We have another great sketch for SFF this week, presented by Kelli Waters:

It's a great sketch, and once again I used MDS to create a sample:

I used one of our luscious new colors Daffodil Delight for my card base color. The circle and the corner punch are Chocolate Chip DSP in the Villa pattern. The scallop punch across the card like a ribbon is another new color, Pear Pizzazz, and the sentiment is also Chocolate Chip.

Sketch Frenzy Friday--Such Fun!

Greetings Stampers!

It's Sketch Frenzy Friday once again, and once again I have used My Digital Studio (MDS) to create my project.

Here's the sketch by Connie Smith:

Isn't it great? Well, I LOVE the sketch, but my interpretation of it?--not so much. Here it is:

I seem to be stuck in a pinks and purples rut these days! My colors are Rose Red, Regal Rose, Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry, and Chocolate Chip. I used punch images: Boho Blossoms large, 1.25" circle, 1.25" square, Modern Label. Stamp images used are the Always circle, the label from Favorite Things, and the Thankful from Calendar Basics kit.

Sketch Frenzy Friday--A Little Late

Hello!
Yes it's Saturday, and yes I am a day late and a dollar short, as my mother used to say, posting my Sketch Frenzy Friday card. I was having issues with blogger and my computer on Thursday and Friday and didn't get it posted. I get frustrated when that happens, and I think it just makes it worse because my patience wears thin and then it seems to take twice as long to do anything.
Well, enough of that! Let's get on with the show. This week's sketch is courtesy of Angela Walters.

Here is my interpretation:

I used the wonderful Island Oasis DSP and the Island Party stamp set. The colors I used were right from the DSP--Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive. And I also used Chocolate Chip for the coconut drink. I stamped some flowers and cut them out, and also cut out two palm leaves from the DSP and I couldn't resist adding a strip of Old Olive 1/4" grosgrain ribbon at the bottom. What do you think of the diagonal placement? I also decorated the inside of the card:
