Clueless

I finally found time to play along with this week's Unscripted Sketch, which turned out to be much easier when I stretched it rather than trying to flip it. I combined it with the Cinema Saturday challenge which is one of my favorite movies: Clueless

In the movie there are so many fun prints and bright colors (none of which I would ever wear or combine as they do, being a bit afraid of sticking out) so I was immediately drawn towards the green houndstooth and wanted to funkify it by combining it with the bright and fun plaid ribbon. It's a nice simple card but I love the look...I'll probably make a few more of them with other colors.

As for me, I've got one more day of school before my February vacation starts and then I'll be trying to have something fun to share each day. Hopefully I'll catch up on some scrapbooking too! Be sure to stop by Saturday for a new Unscripted Sketch (with a fun addition to the challenge if you dare) and I've got a fun surprise on Sunday too.

playing catch-up

I was on quite the roll with the week of Mojo Monday sketches but hit a wall on Thursday where my day ended at the dentist...I didn't get home until after 8! With my school schedule resuming this week I took today to play catch-up and did the final four sketches...here they are in reverse starting with today's wonderful sketch by Mary Fish.

I started with this one because it's my favorite. The color inspiration came from this week's Jazzy Inspiration to use white, gray, black and a 'pop' of green. The picture doesn't do the brads justice--they're green gems! I popped the black squares up with pop-up glue dots and did the rock 'n roll technique for the sentiment, first in Green Galore then in black.

My second card is Saturday's sketch and I piled on the challenges:


Pile It On: Three's: three punches--fence, circle, bat(was word window and trimmed)
Inspiration: Cinema Saturday Challenge, Field of Dreams
Sketch: Mojo Monday turns 100, day 6

-----------------------------------------------------

For Friday's sketch I went simple, using some paper I picked up last Christmas and a bow that was lying around. The pink paper has a bit of glimmer to it, perfect with the sentiment.

And last up is my Halloween card using the last of my scraps from this card. This was Thursday's sketch when all hope of completing each sketch on each day was lost!


I know I'll be scarce from blogland for the rest of August and most of September while I settle into the back to school routine. I never know who'll be more tired, me or the first graders!
