Color my Heart meets Laughing Lola

Well I've been preparing for swaps AND vacation (who planned so much to do in so little time) .  So to say l8ife around here has been frazzled would be a colossal understatement. So today on the eve of our departure the whole house is still quiet and I though to myself hmmm I know I won't be able to play along but I wonder what is going on over at some AND I have two cards that I absolutely LOVE prepped for a swap !!!! So here they are which one do you like best ? 

Check out all the Laughing Lola inspiration here Color my Heart

For this card I used Laughing Lola Paper Pack
Paisley Perfect Stamp Set
Shimmer Trim
Grey & Black glitter pack
Cricut Artiste

CAS(E) this Sketch and some scraps . . . .

 

Here is this weeks sketch. I had LOTS of Scraps left over from preping my swaps to go out this week.  So threw some together to create this card.

 

 

The background is spritzed in gypsy with some create a shade mixed in for shimmer.  The Focal image is from one of the stamp sets that come with the Cricut Artbooking.  The sentiment is one that did not make the cut for a scrap layout for a swap cut from Cricut Artbooking.  The liquid glass is leftover dyed with lagoon re inker and painted on (super cool technique) not bad for the rejected scraps laying around huh.

I'll post the cards and layouts that did make the swap next week as well as the NEW PRODUCT BLOG HOP on the 15th.  So keep coming back.

Bon Voyage Sketch #305

This weeks challenge over at H2H is Bon Voyage.  Immediately when I saw that I thought of my friend who affectionately refers to herself as Anne the cruise director.  She is planning a group cruise and I thought this challenge was affirmation that we should goooooo!!!! Let's see if the Lord affirms that with the funds too : ) But anyway it is fun to dream about and craft about so these 2 cards where inspired by this challenge and the Mojo Monday Sketch #305

Artbooking in August #1 Card

 

Wow we have about 40 ladies in this blog hop and EVERY Monday this month we will each feature one of 4 projects! The projects include a double 12x12 layout, a card, mini book, home decor or giftable. So sit back and grab a something sweet to drink and let yourself be inspired!

 

If you've hopped here from Paige Dolecki's blog you are in the right place. This is my Artbooking creation for week one.  This card is for a horizontal card swap using my paper pack of choice.  WHAT chose just one . . . . well I just couldn't so this card uses my 2 Favorites from the current catalog.   I LOVE those sunburst layouts that are so trendy right now but I'm not to crazy about the cutting.

 

WELL I used the "T" key on the Artbooking Cartridge. It  has 2 layouts using the starburst and the "10things" key has 2 as well. For my card I thought the "T" key using overlay with shift on was the one that worked best. In the Cricut Craft Room I sized it to fit a 4.25 x 5.5 Card.  I then cut 2 one in Laughing Lola and One In Pro Player.  I inked the Proplayer with Pacifica craft ink and Laughing Lola with Gypsy.  The sentiment is from Casual Expresions.  The circles for the sentiment are from the "allstar" key on the border setting with shift on;  one is cut at 1.5 and the other is 1.75.  Last but not least I used Liquid glass on stars cut from the Coordinating papers using the "m" key set on icon at .55.  Well now it is time for you to keep on hopping over to Marie Flayer's blog to be inspired!

MoJo Monday Meets Ombre

I love this technique !!!!! It is so much fun blending colors!  On this card I used Hydrangea, Lagoon and Petal inks.  Petal and Lagoon card stock and the Laughing Lola B&T Duos paper pack.  Black glitter ribbon, and a true thank you stamp.  Here is the link to H2H

I also used the Mojo Monday sketch for inspiration which can be found here MoJo.
