Ok Cindy, this is what I was thinking when I saw sketch 1! Now mind you, this was a hurried version seeing as I wanted to show you what I was trying to say! I hope this helps!!! Thank you though, I haven't been able to go in the craft room for awhile! I just couldn't sit down and get motivated at all! I thank you so much for making me have a reason to go in there!  Sketch 1!

AcrossThePond: what a fun card... that car is so cute and love all the embellishments here. Very neat and crisp looking card
SandyPalmer: YAY! You made a card... seems to me your mojo is doing just fine. Very pretty card! What is that lattice fence looking thing? Is that a super wide border punch? I like that a lot

Yay... I made a card too and using the Ad colors (the gray is there... hard to see but it's there).
Also, I'm a ding dong, I reversed the color of the beehive... but I already made it with the yellow outline and put glitter on it so I'm not starting over  Sketch 2 in this week's Ad colors with extra credit: Glitter - Die cut - button These were the first ever rosettes I made using 5 layers of mini punch for each and never used them before... hah hah

Ok... here is another
I made this to submit to this week's JustRite Friday Challenge: Stars & Stripes
Sketch 3 with extra credit: lace - die cuts - brads
Ok, I cheated... the stars were originally tiny charms but I cut off the metal loops and stuck them on like they were brads. They look like brads if I never said anything, right?Edited by user Saturday, June 30, 2012 9:50:39 AM(UTC)

Britishgirl, red and white is so classy together! Love that flower too! What was the three white dots you used? They really pop and look great too!

AcrossThePond
#3- Love this double celebration card, a memorable keepsake, for sure! Love everything about it! She will love it.
Sandy

Raquel
#2 - Very fancy Beehive!! The tiny flowers and Bee button are so pretty, love all the glitter, too!
#3 - Love the shade of green ribbon and the fancy lace. The Christmasy striped BG paper co-ordinates perfect with the rest of the card. Very pretty!
britishgirl
#1 - Love the simple red/white combo. Very clean and crisp look, like the red ric-rac embellie. The flower is so pretty, too!
cstanzione

Cindy,love the colors you chose for your Bingo card! Love the ribbon too! NanaDonna, I know how you feel! I can't tell you how many times I have gone in my craft room and came right back out! It's so frustrating! It's funny but when Cindy needed help, that got me moving and I was able to get one done! I am hoping they got me motivated and maybe I will be able to start working on cards again, but with Scott home, I am not sure?!?! Happy Birthday Michelle!Edited by user Sunday, July 01, 2012 12:31:22 AM(UTC)

Hi, I needed another Thank You card from my son but this time for the staff at his school who sponsored him. I decided to use the same papers as the other so as not to have too much left over. Again a A5 card and the papers are MME and the cut is off Paper Lace. The paper has some heat embossing on it and I decided to use the text book paper as it was for teachers lol. That is my writing on that strip but I printed out the other. TFL Sue Edited by user Sunday, July 01, 2012 4:08:31 AM(UTC)

My #1 Sketch Card:
Sentiment - CTMH Acrylic Stamp from the "4 My Friend " Collection
Flower - I cut out circles from dryer sheets and dabbed with stamp ink. I then sparyed the layers with silver Perfect Pearls Mist.
Leaves - Flower Shoppe Cartridge and embossed with CuttleBug "Tree Branches" Folder
Corners - Fiskars Corner Punch
Stem - Dark Pink Cord
The BG cardstock is ribbed foil, so the scanning gave it different hues of the soft Pinkish Lilac color. I added a star Brad to the flower center and round pink and green Bling to the border cut.

Well who would believe I got another card using the second sketch done.... well I did make a few different changes but I did follow the sketch when I made it. I have been fooling around with stamping this weekend. I have so many stamps and hardly ever use them and was starting to feel guilty for buying so many so this thread encouraged me to use them. Thanks so much for that!!!!

SandyPalmer: Thanks for the great sketches
Hope your DH is on the mend and you are doing well.
Glad you had a motivation to head back to your craft room, your sketch #1 is great. Love the background paper and the trellis cut.
BingoLady: Great bingo card!
Cute card for GD, a great mix of textures and shapes.
daveshunny: Love all the details on your 4th July card.
Beautiful sketch #2, love the colour and pattern combinations.
Turtlebug: Very elegant wedding card and a great idea to reconstruct the invitation.
A beautiful card for sketch #1, it will certainly cheer up the recipient.
Great sketch #3, the yellow elements really stand out.
AcrossThePond: Fabulous card with the car, love the circle patterned paper and stitched details.
Wonderful thank you card, the background paper is great and the sentiment really pops off the page.
RAQ: Great sketch #2, I love the flowers. If you didn’t say anything about the beehive I’d have never noticed the colours were reversed, looks great!
Wonderful Christmas card too.
britishgirl: Beautiful sketch #1, the red and white combination works really well.
cstanzione: Beautiful extra credit card, love the colours.
Please post pics of your creations with the Fuse, I’ve seen a few posts reviewing it but would be lovely to see what it can do. Not sure when it will make it to Australia but 12x12 embossing sounds awesome!
DeeScraps: Thanks for the add colours
Great sketch #2, love the flowers and how you matched the black cuts with the pattern on the background paper. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELBYWOO!

Only one card from me this week, life just got in the way for more. It's my take on sketch #3 and I'm also entering it in the Simply Challenged Challenges - Embrace your inner Betty challenge.
I picked the Scrapbook Betty as my inner Betty. I used Everyday Cricut to make miniature cuts of the machines I have and a few tools. The sentiment is from the same card using the gel pen on the Cricut. Paper hoarder is so very true of me too, I get a a box full sent almost every month 
Not sure if the three mushroom brads in a row qualifies this for the extra credit on the bingo?
