Scrapbook Nerd Sketch Challenge

Having fun this week playing along with the Scrapbook Nerd & Friends Sketch challenge by the lovely Milena!

I just can not get enough of the Picket Fences BFF My Tribe stamp set! So many uses for this stamp set ... I think they would be perfect for a bride to be to use to make as their 'Please join by bride tribe' invites for bridesmaids!

I paired it with leftover scraps from the lovely Vicki Boutin Wildflower & Honey patterned paper! I love these grid papers because they are prefect for both pocket scrapbooking AND quick card making!

 I just love how it came together. I added the sentiment 'We are Better Together' from the Altenew Sentiment set Better Together. I am kicking myself for being a lazy stamper and not pulling out my stamperatus to stamp the sentiment because I did not get the crisp stamped sentiment that I wanted in my first try nor my second flip it over and try again so had to choose the best of the two rather than waste paper ... alas one of the ways you know it is hand made is those little imperfections!

Happy Stampin'

Better Together Sketch Challenge

Hello all - here today guest designing for the Scrapbook Nerds .... if you have not already come on over and join us on Facebook for some fun online crops and layout tags and of course contests for FREE STUFF from the amazing Joy!

I am using the Sunday Stamp's Sketch for inspiration! 

Using their sketch as inspiration for my card base and layering of paper I chose to play with the Altenew Sentiment set Better Together and pairing it with the BFF My Tribe stamp set from Picket Fences0

I just love how these two stamp sets compliment each other! I know I am going to have lots of fun coloring the My Tribe stamp set with my Stampin' Blends markers! I think I might have to get my Zentangle pattern books out to create some funky clothing options!

 Happy Stampin'

Scrapbook Nerd Sketch Challenge!

Margaret here guest designing for the Scrapbook Nerds and Friends! 




My turn to play along with this weeks sketch by Milena - card edition! If you want to come play along you can join us on Facebook!

I had so much fun with this one I made two different takes on it! 

This was the perfect sketch to use up some scraps from my stash along with some of the Vicki Boutin paper and stickers for this little whimsical 'love notes' card! 

My second card instead of using scraps I did some stenciling with my Concord & 9th faceted gems stencil for the 'lines' ... make sure to check out the line over on the Nerds website. 

If you have not gotten yourself some Picket Fences blending brushes from the shop - you must! They are perfect for stenciling!

Happy Stampin'
