I am sponsoring the CPS sketch #210 this week. Please do check it out for a chance to win some ippity Stamps.

Here is card that I made using the CPS #210 sketch and the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger - A Citrus celebration.

I was totally inspired by the colors in the Tuesday Trigger Image. The beautiful White polka dotted Lime color and the Orange/Yellow Background.

Here is a close up of my card. I used a lime green card stock and stamped polka dots on it using PTI Polka Dots stamp set with PTI Fresh Snow Ink. Loved how this turned out.

Hello, I love you

Hello Friends, It's Monday and time for {ippity} Hop. Please stop by at the {ippity} blog to see the complete list of participants.

Here is my card using Because Of You. I seem to be using this stamp for all my projects lately :)

I used the CPS Sketch #202 for this card. I cut out the flowers from the set and matted them with some Red CS and the sentiment completed the card. I thought of adding some stickles to the flowers, but they were looking quite good as they were, so did not add the stickles. Although my cutting could use some more practice :)

If you have some good cutting tips so as to not leave jagged edges, please do leave me a comment.

Off The Wall Craftiness Challenge #8 using CPS Sketch

I discovered Kim's blog during May papertrey ink blog hop and wanted to play with her latest challenge #8 which was an inspiration photo. I used the latest CPS Sketch #168 for my card,



I used PTI Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores together for this card. I punched out some Umbrella's from a Martha Stewart Punch and popped them using foam dots. I used Kraft, Lavender Moon and Hawaiian shores for the umbrella's. Sentiment is from PTI Scattered Showers. I Kept it generic so I could use it for multiple occasions.

In retrospect, I feel like I could have added some ribbon or buttons..but somehow this card looks kind of clean and neat and I am liking it a lot. :) I think this is another one of those sketches that I will go back to.

Here is the inspiration photo,

CPS151 and Scrapbook Page

Hello All,

2nd Post of the day. To see the Copic Color challenge card, please scroll down :)

I did a scrapbook page again this time for the CPS 151 Sketch :)

Here is my LO. I kept it simple :) These were the photos we had taken in Washington DC just outside the Smithsonian museum.



Here is the CPS151 Sketch,

CPS150 and Scrapbook Page

I am doing more scrapbook layouts now a days and enjoying it a lot. So, I decided to take the Fresh Idea from Lisa as mentioned on the {ippity} Blog and use this card sketch to create a scrapbook layout.

Here is my Page. These were the photos I took during our visit to NYC this past Christmas and this was in Columbia University - nestled in the heart of the city. Sorry for the bad photos within the layout. These photos were taking using my iPhone and the clarity is not the best :)



I printed out the title from Computer and edged it with some copic marker to give it a shadow feeling. I also cut out some signs from the Cricut Going Places Cartridge to give a NYC city feel to the page.

Here is the CPS150 Sketch,


Supplies:
Stamp - None
Paper - Coredinations Card stock, American Crafts Travel Paper Pack
Ink - Copics
Other - PTI Vintage Buttons, Cricut Going Places Cartridge, Punches

I used the Autumn Abundance stamp set, colored it with Copics and used some Friends 'Till End DP from PTI :) The card came together quickly and I am quite happy how it turned out.

Here is the CPS Sketch,



Next up is the notebook that I did for the Notebook swap. I used these 5x8 Junior Legal Notepads from Staples. I had done a bunch of them earlier where I had gotten these cut in half, but I wanted to try altering the notepad as is. :) Here is the result.
I used all PTI Products on this with the exception of the Prima Flowers and the bling brad. The cover opens up like a matchbox cover and it was fun doing this.
