Laugh and Luck

I have a couple fun cards to share with you today.

 First up, my Unscripted sketch card. I LOVE this sketch. I thought there were so many possiblities with this one.

 Notice the card shape!? Being able to cut card shapes was my main reason for purchasing the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge. There are sooooo many choices on this Cricut cartridge. This one cut the shaped, bottom edge.

These wonderful Bella Blvd papers were sitting on my desk. I had even cut out the circle frame using my Kreaxions circle cutter for another project and then didn't use it and it just fit in here perfectly.  The little layered sun is cut with my Cricut. 

 I love color combo challenges and this is one I had to try out from Play Date Cafe. 

This color combo did not include brown but it just seemed like I needed to add it here, maybe it is like a neutral black.  And, again, I used my Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the card shape.

 Is this little owl the cutest? It is a stamp by Inky Antics and of course, I colored it with Copic markers.  I most often use the Copic X-Press white cardstock to go along with the Copic markers, they work amazingly well together.  The stamp came with the little branch that the owl was sitting on but I added to that a cut branch using the Cricut. I cut the branch with the leaves from green cardstock and then cut just the branch from brown cardstock and layered them.

And, I have to share a couple photos...

 Do you see that star shaped cloud? I was just exiting the freeway and looked over to see the cloud shape so I quickly found a place to stop and get a photo. We have farm land all around us so that is what you see in the foreground. Of course, I used my Hipstamatic camera on my phone for these. 

We had so many beautiful cloud formations on this day so I had to stop to capture this one too.  This strawberry field is about four blocks from our house. Our county grows strawberries everywhere!
