2 Sketches 4 You Ultimate Card Challenge

Have you heard about the Ultimate Card Challenge happening this month over at 2 Sketches 4 You? If not, then you have got to check it out! This is the sketch that Laura provided for us this week...
....and here is my take on it. I even used a NEW product (new to me anyway) on my card this week. It is called "Flower Soft" and boy do I like it. It gives you some fantastic dimension and can be used anywhere on your project. I have it in 3 different colours so far...lol. Did you also notice my glitter spiral and rhinestones. If you know me, you know I LOVE sparkly bling.

Here is a close-up of that swirl.
And, here is a close-up of the Flower Soft. I used the Fushia Flower Soft on this card.


Recipee:
De Ja View green paper
Fushia Flower Soft
Stampin Up "Spring Song" stamp set
Prima Flowers & Unknown glitter
HOTP vellum
Time 4 Crafts purple paper, ribbon & rhinestones

Thanks for stopping by to take a peak at my creations.

So, here is the sketch...

May & June Calendar Pages

I wanted to try my hand at some scrapbook challenges this month so I chose to make my May and June calendar pages using a couple of sketches from Allison Cope's blog So Sketchy. Her May #8 sketch was the inspiration for my June page. I decided to use a picture of my husband, son and father-in-law together on Father's Day 2004. Here is the sketch from Ally's blog:
And here is my take on that sketch:
Recipee:
Close To My Heart ink pads
Crafts ribbon
Unknown sticker and brads
We R Memory Keepers "Whiteout Explore" paper set
BoBunny All Stuck Up flowers


May's calendar page was inspired by sketch #5. In keeping with May's theme of Mother's Day, I featured pictures of my mom and my mother-in-law on this one.
Here is the sketch....
......and here is my take on it:

Recipee:
BoBunny's "Abbey Road" paper kit, buttons and flowers
Close To My Heart inks
Fiskar's border and circle punches
