Poppy sketch challenge #8

Hello friends. I hope your week is starting off well. I have two cards to share, but before I do, I wanted to give a quick little personal update. Last week I mentioned that I was having palpitations and went to the ER. Unfortunately, I am still feeling the same. I have some appointments scheduled and hope to have some tests done to find some answers. Meanwhile, I am trying to take it easy which is hard for me because I am always on the move. Sigh.
 
So today's cards are based on the current Poppy Sketch challenge.
 
I received some new goodies in the mail on Monday and was able to quickly put these cards together. I used  Label Love from Altenew and Faux Veneer. The first card plays along with the sketch and color. I didn't "prep" the stamps by rubbing them with an eraser. That may or may not have helped with the blotchiness of some of the inks. Thank goodness I am not a perfectionist!
 
 
I decided to create a second card using red, blue and yellow for my son, Joshua. I can't believe he will be turning 3 in 5 days! I chose these colors because he will be having a joint Super Hero birthday party with his older sister in about a month.
 
 
That's all I have for you today. Thanks for stopping by!

Poppy sketch, Make Some Noise

Today I thought I would share a card with you that plays along with the Poppy Paper February sketch that Laura Davis hosts. You may notice that this is not a typical CAS card for me. Trying to use up some patterned paper I have laying around. Lisa over at My Paper Tales made a comment on my post about my daughter, Leah, getting her ears pierced. Um, I didn't have a card to give her for her big accomplishment, so I cranked one out for her.
 
Here is Laura's fabulous sketch:
 
 
And here is the card I made to celebrate my little girl. I used Exclamations and Woot Woot from CAS-ual Fridays stamps and some patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and AMuse Studio.
 
 
That's all for me today. Thanks for stopping by!
