Guest Sketcher This Saturday

No, it's not me that's the guest sketcher. But Lauren Meader who usually does the Saturday sketch has a big announcement this week so MacKenzie was kind enough to keep the tradition alive. Thanks MacKenzie! I hope to make a card this weekend, here's the sketch:

Thanks for stopping by! Till next time, Tasha

I'm Baaack!!

Okay so the Stampin' Up Regional training was pretty cool. I did manage to get up and was leaving my house at 5am, however, I don't functional all that well at hours where I should be sleeping and forgot my camera. I know, HOW could I do that?! Well, probably part of it is that I knew my neighbor and more of the soon-to-be upline were going on Saturday and so I was pretty sure one of them would remember. So once I get a few pics. I will share some of my favorite inspirations.

Now for the business at hand...it is Saturday so it's time for Lauren's sketch which looks like:

And here is my card. We are going to my cousin's wedding tonight so I got this ready for her. It will be an outdoor wedding and the invitation had an enclosure telling about accomodations, etc. which had a picture of sunflowers on it. So the old olive and summer sun colors fit perfectly for their card.

For the large circle I started with the reverse mask technique and old olive. I used a little always artichoke around the edge to give it some depth. Also, it is hard to see but I dry embossed the swirly pattern (shown on the yellow part circles) on the white. The large flower I made twice and then cut it out (don't have that flower punch). To get it to stand out a little I scored each petal down the middle. The yellow part circles are raised up a little with large glue dots (can't find my dimensionals).

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! Till next time, Tasha

Another SS

I am just going to try to keep up with Lauren's Saturday Sketch. Maybe later I can add some of the other fun challenges out there. But for now I will K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stamper!).


I think this one will be hard and I will post whatever I come up with later. It is raining and raining here and has been for 3 days so will be a good day to play inside.
