Easy Peasy Sketch

I am hosting the Splitcoast sketch again today.  I decided to go with a layout I use fairly often.....it's simple and fun and helps to use up those scraps of designer paper you have left over from previous cards.

Here are two cards I made for the sketch....

For this card I used the lovely Hello Luscious papers from Basic Grey.  The image and sentiment are from the Treasured stamp set released in April.  You can't see it in the picture, but I spritzed the image panel with Glimmer Mist to give it a bit of shimmer.  It looks very pretty in real life :). I machine stitched each of the panels and around the card and added some ribbon and pearls to finish it off.

 For this card I used some old Marrakech papers from Basic Grey.  I love using up my old stash :).....it makes me feel better about buying NEW paper ;).  The image and sentiment are from the Thoughtful Rhubarb stamp set.  Isn't he a sweet teddy?   I just love his nose.  For this one I went a step further....I machine stitched the panels and around the card and added ribbon, but I also added a button, thread and a tag sentiment.

That's all for me for now....

Be a blessing to someone today and you, too, will be blessed :).
