I have decided that I cannot stamp when my husband is around, which is mostly on the weekends. He never says anything, but I feel guilty, like I should be doing other things. So this is a guiltily-stamped card so that I can fulfill my stamping fetish and now go and do something else like shred zucchini.
There is a new sketch site, Get Sketchy, and my blogging friend Ann is on their team, which makes me happy, and Ann's cards make me happy, but I noticed that most of the samples are a little more "funky" that what I normally make. I guess it is because I am getting older and my style is more "fuddy" than "funky" (can you tell I am in a slightly-not-so-good mood? sorry). So this card was a little stretch for me, although I love the bright colors and the sentiment from my friend Caryl, I just never quite know how to put everything together. But together it is and hopefully someone will find it fun. Here is the sketch:
and here is my big sketchy card:
This is a square 5 1/2" card, Pretty in Pink; assorted BG and other scraps from my stash; Kiwi Kiss, some fun funky felt sticky flowers from Simon Says Stamp/Hero Arts, some SU Old Olive ribbon and some rickrack also from my stash. Sentiment is Inkadinkado's Friendly Advice. Thanks for visiting---off I go to the zucchini patch!
I love your take! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing with us at 'Get Sketchy'
Fun card! You did great outside your comfort zone. :)
ReplyDeleteoh you are too funny girlie....maybe hubby would be happy to sit with you and make his own version of the sketch....LOL! Anyway, Monday will be here before you know it...luicky me hubby mowed the lawn for three hours todaya nd then washed his car......yeah that is what I am talking about baby.....stamp time!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I think it looks fabulous! I had trouble with this sketch, too--that bendy piece just threw me for a loop.
ReplyDeleteThis card is great! I think it looks funky...although I think my daughter just told me I'm getting to be a fuddy! If you need something to do with that zucchini, I just tried this recipe last weekend and the family LOVED it! They all thought it was an apple recipe! http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Zucchini-Cobbler
ReplyDeleteha! I know exactly what you mean about stamping when hubby is around!! I always like to get him settled in at the computer and then I figure I can putter in the stamp room to my heart's content!!
ReplyDeleteI love this card, what a cool sketch. I really like the ric rac on there, what a great addition.
Happy card.
ReplyDeleteI had to add that I understand about not wanting to do something when the DH is home.
ReplyDeleteI don't clean the house when DH is around. Either I feel like a maid or he decides to help and makes a fast clean up into a deep cleaning project.
Oh WOW, I just loved this card, LeAnne! The layout is alittle wild but that's what challenges are all about! Nice job & I love that little saying! LOL
ReplyDeleteHey girl.. so what are you making, my fave chocolate zucchini bread..yum yum?
ReplyDeleteYour card is fabulous.. and funky... you are definitely not a fuddy duddy, but a card making queen, this is just perfect.
I think you did a wonderful job! I love it! I know what you mean about feeling guilty! Every night I am in here on my computer/making cards and my husband is in the bonus room on his! Not so good for the marriage! At some point, I am going to have to stop!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this!!! The fun style and colors and the papers are wonderful...so glad to see that you've challenged yourself here!! :) My hubby makes me feel the same way on weekends and I just have to tell him....HEY...it's stamp time!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great card, you used my FAV paper Daisy Bucket;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing a long with Get Sketchy, and never doubt again over your style, your own style makes the card YOU!!
This is so far out of your zone it's amazing! You did a great job with this funky sketch - I'd have been completely baffled if I attempted that sketch! I love the happy feeling I get just looking at it! I love all the flowers!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the zuchinni....I made a chocolate zuchinni cake last week and it went "poof" in a couple of days! :)
Cute card...I really like the colors and the patterns that you used!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the zuchinni....that's all I've been doing lately along with tomotoes!!!
Oh I love it LeAnne! I can tell you are out of your comfort zone because it's not your normal style but it is definitely a great card. Love the ricrak!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the husband thing...I tend to rush through cards when I know he's upstairs waiting, and am sometimes smiling when he leaves for work so I can stamp guilt free!
WOW!!!!! Your card is just fabulous!!! What an amazing idea :)
ReplyDeleteEverytime you say a style is 'out of your comfort zone' you present a beautifuly crafted and amazingly coordinated A2 piece of art!
ReplyDeleteLove this card, LeAnne!! Definitely funky, absolutely no sign of fuddy! I had to chuckle when you mentioned your husband's presence making you feel guilty... I know EXACTLY what you mean. I doubt they feel guilty sitting in front of the TV watching sports, though LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou are WAY to hard on yourself! This is adorable, LeAnne! I love the mix of designer papers you used, and all the embellishment!
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be the cutest saying I've seen! Your card is cute also :)
ReplyDeleteLove your fun card..I think you did a magnificent job on the sketch!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job you did on the sketch with this cheerful card.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving our sketch a go!
Lisette
I think it's totally funky! You did a great job on it...and again, that quote makes it!
ReplyDeleteI know about guilty card making...that's definitely why I don't post everyday! But I wish I was shredding zucchini, sigh. Can I come over for some? Yum!
WoW! This is fantastic ... love all the wonderful details!
ReplyDeleteFunky is good! And you do funky right!
awww! how sweet your card is!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card, love that sentiment!
