Sketch 107, more Mother's Day and ODBD

The new sketch at OWH today is pretty basic and easy to use for a CAS card. It also works nicely for some more Mother's Day cards. Not only that, but it fits the new ODBD challenge. I saw it and immediately knew it needed to be done with some double-sided papers.


The card back is silver and if you look closely you'll notice the black paper has a pattern on it. I added some cute Studio G polka dot ribbon I got from my secret Santa and popped the Fiskars sentiment. I have just enough of the paper left to do two more of these. But they'll have to wait since I'm off to watch the Super Bowl!

Here's the sketch I used:


Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Mother's Day Challenge

Today is the kickoff for the Mother's Day Challenge at OWH. This is the perfect thing to get me started on those cards. It's been awhile since I've made any cards for a specific holiday and now is the time. I wanted them to be shaker cards since everyone seems to love receiving them. Here is what I accomplished today:


There are 19 of these. I'm not sure why it came out an odd number. The purple and pink have differend background papers and different bead colors. I used the Geo Flowers embossing folder from The Paper Studio and the hearts Nestabilities. I wanted to get at least one card completed so I'd know if I needed to make any adjustments.


That's dark purple paper on the top, not blue. For some reason my camera isn't fond of purple. The sentiment is from Fiskars and is edged in black and popped. I flipped through the sketches and found 36 fit my needs for this card.

Happy creating!
