Deconstructed Sketch Challenge No. 182

This is my first time playing along with The Deconstructed Sketch. I know I will again because I like their sketches!

I'm trying try cardstock from Simon Says Stamp! for the first time. I wanted to see if I like it as much as the cardstock from PaperTrey Ink. I think it's a good match and I'll be buying more. I only picked up a few colors to try. My base for this card is made using their Island Blue color. 

I love the Graphic 45 Bohemian Bazaar collection! I know that some don't care for it and that's okay. Everyone has their own taste. I just adore the bright, loud patterns! It's one of my favorite collections from Graphic 45. 

I used three different dies for this card. One from Taylored Expressions and one from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I don't know what the manufacturer is for the die that I used to cut the orange patterned paper. The bling is from My Mind's Eye, Doodlebug Design and October Afternoon.

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #167

One of my goals for 2015 is to participate in more challenges. I really enjoy doing them. I got away from doing a lot of the things I love the last few years because of other happenings that have gone on in my life. I think I'm off to a pretty good start so far and it's not even the new year yet :)

This card is for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #167. Super easy, fun sketch to work with! I used a mixed trio of patterned paper from October Afternoon that I picked up at this years warehouse sale. I love plaid! To be honest.....I really didn't need any more paper. I have so much that I will more than likely never use it all in my lifetime. I could probably also say that about all my other scrapbook related products. Unfortunately that doesn't stop me from buying more!

I used a die from Elizabeth Craft Designs for my sentiment and for the small label shape I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Large Labels die. The enamel dots and stickers are from My Mind's Eye and October Afternoon. Base cardstock is from PaperTrey Ink.
