Sketch Frenzy Friday--One of Those Days!!!

Hi Stampers:

Well, I finally got my SFF card done and posted at 12:30 this morning. Every thing that could keep me from posting HAPPENED to slow me down!! But it's now done! Here is our sketch from Patrice Herrera:

And here is my creation:

The picture is not extremely clear because my camera decided that the SD card drive is not going to work anymore, so I had to use my BlackBerry to take the picture and then futz (technical term!) to try to make it sharper. Here's what I used:

• Basic gray card stock


• Twitterpated DSP


• Twitterpated buttons


• Blossom punch


• Pleated ribbon


• Loving Thoughts stamp set


• 1" square punch to make the banner ends on the greeting strip


• Dimensionals

On the whole I am pretty pleased with the design of my card! Now CLICK OVER TO MARIA'S BLOG to see what she has created. And why not join us? You can upload your creation here: SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG.

Sketch Frenzy Friday-An MDS Valentine

Hi Stampers:

Well, I really wasn't going to use MDS this week for my Sketch Frenzy Friday card, but my camera decided to be stubborn and not work and the scanner image looked terrible, so I decided to use MDS AGAIN!!

Here is our sketch from Jennifer Weide:

And here is my card:

Not much to say about it--pink, red, white, Early Espresso sentiment, two hearts and three brads, scallop border punch. It came together rather quickly.

Sketch Frenzy Friday--Springtime Romance

Hi Stampers:

Friday again and time for Sketch Frenzy Friday. I am REALLY on a roll with My Digital Studio--I have created SO many of my sketch interpretations in MDS. I love it! And sometimes I feel like I am THE QUEEN of MDS, but that title really belongs to other people--I just dabble in it. I have NEVER done a scrapbook page in MDS (shame on me with over 3000 pictures in my computer!) Well, enough of that--on with the sketch created by Deb Currier:

Isn't this a GREAT sketch. My thoughts were to use the Twitterpated paper and Apothecary Art. At first, I was going to use REAL paper and stamps and ribbon and buttons, but as usual I waited til the last minute and HAD to use My Digital Studio. But I think it turned out pretty good:

The only embellishment/stamp on the card that is NOT from the Occasions mini is the flower. It is from the MDS stamp brush set called Bliss. One of the things that kept me from doing a paper card was I had NO Basic Gray cardstock! So, I HAD to place an order to get some cardstock!!

Speaking of My Digital Studio, did you know that you can download a 30 day trial of MDS? This is something new from Stampin' Up! You get everything that is in the My Digital Express download and you can use it for 30 days. If you decide to buy the Express version at that time, you will get an emailed key to unlock it. OR you can order the CD version. It's a great way to try it out. Just click on the shop now button on the left side bar and you will be taken to my online store to order.

Well, on with the show: MARIA'S BLOG is the next stop on the tour. You can also go to our main SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG. How about creating your own interpretation and uploading?

Sketch Frenzy Friday--It Should Have Been a Birthday Card!!

Hi Stampers:

Yes, I should have made a birthday card for myself because today is my birthday! My husband gave me a pink rose for my day--he is so sweet! Instead, I made an MDS thank you card. I am still on a kick with the Tea Shoppe stamp brush set. I also chose to use my favorite colors--Perfect Plum and Elegant Eggplant. I am a purple girl!!! Here's my card:

And here is the sketch from Tina Munzke:

MDS is very forgiving and flexible. I started out with a card base of Elegant Eggplant, but thought it was too dark, so I changed the opacity to 65% to make the color a bit less intense. The large circle is filled with Perfect Plum Blooms DSP. The stamps were colored full strength Elegant Eggplant and the Modern Label digital punch is white.

Enough from me! Let's click over to MARIA'S BLOG and see what she created. And don't forget; you can always start the tour and/or upload your own creation at our main blog, SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY.

Sketch Frenzy Friday--MDS is My Friend!

Hi Stampers:

Just when I thought I was going to get some stamping done, life interfered again, and I had NO TIME TO STAMP!!! So my entry in our mini blog tour this week was created in MDS.

Here's our sketch from Tammy Fite:

And here's my project:



Everything on the card is from the Twitterpated Kit and the Tea Shoppe stamp brush set--except the ribbon--for that I used Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon. The Twitterpated Kit and Tea Shoppe downloads became available on Tuesday, Jan 10. You can order them from my 24/7 Stampin' Up! shop. You can also order the Twitterpated designer paper, the rubber Tea Shoppe stamp set, cardstock, buttons, and ribbon from my store. Just click on the Shop Now button on the right side of my blog.

Let's jump over and see what MARIA has done with the sketch. You can always go to our main SFF Blog and upload your own creation!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--My Cat Ate My Homework!!

Hi Stampers:

Well, Catie-Cat did not eat my card, but I couldn't think of a good excuse about why every effort to create a card for this week's sketch failed miserably--so much so that I won't even post any of them. But to keep you going on the mini tour, here is the sketch by Tammy B:
