CPS Sketch #200 Challenge

Whew! I'm really trying to get my challenges done a little earlier, but once again I'm down to the wire. I thought I'd just post it tomorrow, but I'll be gone most of the day and all evening. Thank goodness I checked the date or I'd have missed it altogether!

Here's my take on the CPS #200 Challenge:

CPS Sketch 150

I really didn't think I'd ever want to look at another heart or paper with pink on it after I made all the Valentine cards a few weeks back. But, I picked up some new Valentine paper from the "Love Struck" collection by Making Memories and I like how it pairs well with brown.

After having a very lazy day today, I wanted to create a card for the CPS (Card Positioning Systems) Sketch Challenge. I've participated in a few of their challenges and I love their sketches.

Thanks for looking!

Card Positioning Systems Sketch

There's not alot I don't like about this card. It has all my favorite elements...buttons, flowers, plaid paper and it's black and red no less! I also like the kraft color mixed in. I used one of the sketches (CPS143) from Card Positioning Systems again. The challenge of making a sketch my own makes cardmaking fun.
Here's the sketch...

....here's my version

Supplies: Fiskars Ticket Punch, Bazzill in Kraft, Red, Black, Graphic 45 Typography from the Commuique Collection, Buttons, Ribbon, Sewing Machine Stitching, Raphia, Hero Arts Poinsettia Art Flowers, Flowers, Stamp (unknown).

One By One

I will get my Christmas cards finished. I might have to pick up the pace a little bit, but I think I still have time.

I used a CPS Sketch again for this card. I've found I really enjoy working from a sketch when designing a card.

This is the sketch I used....

....and this is my card.

Supplies used: Bazzill in Ocean, Red & White Cardstock, Sizzix Original Circle Frames Die, Hero Arts Stamps and Gemstones, Memento Bahama Blue Ink, Sewing Machine Stitching.

Card Disagreement

My husband and I are not in agreement about the card below. He thinks it's blah. I designed it for a challenge at CPS-Card Sketches (Sketch CP5142). It may not be the best card I've ever made, but it certainly isn't blah! Not every card is a masterpeice. What does he know anyway!?!??!
