Sketch three….
Hey there,
I hope you are all having a good start to the week! How fast did that weekend go? I enjoyed Saturday, and my Bella Blog Hop, but wow, I haven’t seem my in-box that full ever! 133 comments, and it was well overflowing. But that is a nice thing, I mean who doesn’t love a little comment love now and then right?
So I have been playing with a few sketches this past week…..I am a total challenge junkie! There are so many wonderful ones out there, I just wish I had time to sit and play with them all!
This weekend I worked on the Mojo Monday, Beate’s and Taylor’s Sketch, and whilst each of them where a little different, I was happy with the end result.
First off the Mojo Mondaysketch from last week. Funny thing was that I showed this card to my hubby Rod, and he goes, “Oh that is a real barn like card!” I then said, you mean rustic? Oh yeah that is what it is, he says. But then he goes on to say, “It has far too much bling if you ask me” ……Who even knew that he knew what the word bling was…..LOL! Well I have to give it to him, he is definitely learning the stamping lingo 
So here first of is my “barn-like” creation:
For this one, I have used Teal, Vanilla, Mustard and Chocolate cardstock from Stampin’Up. The DSP is from My mind’s eye on the base. The stamp sets I have used is from Verve stamps, (the flowers) and the greeting is from the Wonderful Favourites stamp set from Stampin’Up. I have used some chocolate wide stitched ribbon and twine, along with large chocolate brads for embellishments.
Next off I made this creation for Beate’s sketch this week. At first I had no idea what to do for this one! You have to check out the sketch and you will know what I mean
For this creation I have used Bordering blue cardstock, and the Bella Bleau DSP both from Stampin’Up. The flower I created by stamping onto the dsp and then cutting 3 of them out and layered them on top of each other. I have dressed it up with a build a brad with a large half pearl in the centre. The detail at the top is the Eyelet border punch, and a strip of Kraft cardstock dressed up with some small half pearls. And last of all the ribbon is Vanilla taffeta ribbon from Stampin’Up and the greeting from Papertrey’s mega mixed messages stamp set stamped in Stazon ink.
Then last of all I made this creation with Taylor’s Sketch. I would never normally do a greeting cut up like that, but that is the good thing about challenges……they get you out of your comfort zone!
I have used Rose red cardstock, and the DSP is from Basic greys nook and pantry (cupcakes), and My minds eye (pink spotty). I have used Taylor’s, For the love of cupcakes stamp set for the cute cuppies. I coloured them in with my Copic markers, and dressed them up with a button each. The greeting is the Sweet little sentiments stamp set from Stampin’Up. I have also added some pink taffeta ribbon.
Thanks to Mojo, Beate, and Taylor for keeping me challenged and inspired over the weekend!
Have a great night!
Oooh I love them all Keesh, but especially the last. The cupcakes are adorable. Don’t you just LOVE the Nook & Pantry paper. Looks like you had lots of stamping fun. Good for you. xx

Gorgeous cards Your cards are always so lovely to look at, and very inspirational! (The first could double as an attempt on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday blog!)
Keesh,
You are amazing. One card is more gorgeous then the next! Beautiful work!
Have a wonderful Holiday Season! Hugs and smiles
You’ve been busy! I see you’ve had more time to stamp lately - this is great! For you AND for us! *wink*
Your husband cracked me up with his “barn-like” comment… hahahaha! At least, you knew what he meant!
All three cards turned out fab! If I had to pick a favorite, it might be the second one, but only because it uses blue and pearls…

Hi Keesh,
looks like you had a good weekend - the cards turned out beautifully. I can’t pick a fav - I like them all!! The first one does remind me to use my nesties more often though. Thanks for the comments - headache slowly dissapating thank goodness, may’be eating the shortbread helps;)
Love Kim
Love them all Keesh. How you keep coming up with idea after idea blows me away.
Ooooohhh, some delicious eye candy today!!! My favourite is the cupcakey one, but it was stiff competition, they are all stunners! TFS xx
Hi Keesh, your cards are just gorgeous, since joining Stampin’ Up!, my gorgeous papers especially My minds Eye(all time fave) have taken a back seat, but you have gently LOL reminded me how fabulous they look, and I think its time to pull them back out of their hidey hole, Thanks for the inspiration its helped me to get back to where I started from. By the way I can’t choose a favourite, all 3 appeal to me in diff ways, TFS
Oh these cards are just AWESOME!!! Absolutely love them! TFS!
Simply fabulous Keesh! I particularly like the card you made for Beate’s sketch
Love the cupcake card! Just too cute!
