Retro Sketches #73 and Little Tangles #17 - Into the Woods


Happy Tuesday...hope everyone is having a fabulous week! I have 2 cards to share today, one for RetroSketches and one for Little Tangles, this is my first time playing with Neat & Tangled.  I am also happy to say that both of my cards have one of more NBUS too.  So much fun pulling out the new goodies. My first card is for RetroSketches #73 and as soon as I saw this week's sketch I knew I needed to make a baseball card and crossed my fingers that no one else came up with the same idea.  Since I am a SF Giants fan I decided to go with their color scheme, black and orange.  



My next card is for this week's Little Tangles - Into the Woods.  I only have a few of their stamps and we so happy to see that one of them was wood grain.  I decided to use it to make a tree and cut the branches using Lucy, but the tree looked a bit bare so I pulled out resting birds die from MB and that seemed to do the trick.  The background paper is from Pebbles, Walnut Grove, I loved the look of the banners strung up behind my tree.  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my cards...have a wonderful week!

Three cards for several challenges....


Happy July 1st!  We are still melting in my part of the world...so what better way to spend your time but to make cards! I have three cards made a several challenges, they were all pretty quick and easy cards to make.  I am also using NBUS too!  I love pulling out new goodies that have been hanging out for some time, it is always fun to play with new goodies!  This week over at SSS the challenge is Anything Goes, so I will be entering my cards there as well.  This is a short post, so thank you so much for stopping by to peek at my cards...have a fabulous holiday week! 





My first card is for this week's Freshly Made Sketches #92...I fell in love with this patterned paper after I received it in a one of my 12 Kits of Holidays in the spring and thought these sweet butterflies would be just perfect with it.



My second card is for this week's Dynamic Duo's #59...they colors this week are Gray and your choice so I thought Winter Wisteria would look nice together.  I am using Bold Wishes from CAS-ual Fridays, one of my NBUS for today.



My last card is for this week's Retro Sketch #70, a fun sketch if you ask me! I am using another NBUS here too, the patterned paper from MME, Lime Twist - Out of the Blue.
