Happy Monday, blog friends!! I hope your week has started out wonderfully so far!! Have you been enjoying the Olympics? I LOVE the Olympics!! We've been recording every minute of it so we don't miss a thing. Some of the sports don't interest me, but it is nice to have in the background while working on other things. And of course, the events they show during primetime have me glued to the television!! So happy that the U.S. medaled in both of the brand new Olympic events this year...such an awesome accomplishment!
I have some cards using the January LOVE POTION #9 card kit, where I focused on the papers, stickers, rub-ons & sparklets. {I used a little bit of the ribbon too!} I wanted to share with you how to get the most out of all the amazing sketches that are out there by using them twice {or more!!}. I chose this sketch, and I used it as shown for one card, then flipped it 180 degrees & used it again. I chose grey as my neutral color for both cards, then created a girl card using pink & a boy card using blue. Here is what I created!
Instructions:
1. Make A2 card from white cardstock.
2. Cut grey background paper slightly smaller, then adhere.
3. Cut an angled paper strip, & adhere to the front.
4. Add the rub-on sentiment & borders at the angle, then accent with jewels.
5. Cluster the stickers, banners & jewels in the corner as shown.
6. Add a bow to the pink card to finish.
Card Challenges:
-Retro Sketch #101
-CAS-ual Fridays #127
Using a sketch multiple times is a great way to make a set of cards that have a cohesive design, but don’t look exactly the same. If you wanted to create a set of 4 cards, you flip the sketch at 90 degrees, 180 degrees, & 270 degrees for even more options!
I hope that you have a wonderful Monday! I will be back tomorrow with a card using some brand new WPlus9 product!!
Until later,
~L.

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! We had a garage sale on Saturday, which we made a good chunk of change on! Plus, it is so nice to be rid of a bunch of unwanted stuff in our house! We sold a lot of it, and the rest we donated to the Teen Challenge thrift store. Our friend Meagan hung out with us all day on Saturday, and we had a great time!
Today is the May Key Ingredients blog hop, and the theme is "May Flowers". The kit has these cute mistable flowers in them, but I don't use/have any mists. So, I kept them as is for my card, and just molded a little bit of shape to each petal. I think it turned out really pretty!! Here is what I created!

Hey there, everyone! Hope you have had an awesome day so far! I ran a bunch of errands today, and worked out with my friend Misty. We have gone 4 days this week, and I am so proud of us! It is great to have a partner...someone to be accountable to so I get my rear into the gym!
Yesterday Taylor revealed this month's Key Ingredients kit, and it is full of goodness! Check it out!
It includes papers from the "Fresh Goods" collection by Pebbles, matching cardstock & ribbon, mistable flowers & gorgeous clear buttons. Taylor has also created a Coordinating Product page for the kit, so you can do one-stop shopping for all the Copic Markers, inks, and accents you might need {or want} to go along with your kit!!
I thought that this kit would be awesome for teacher themed cards and gifts, and that is what my card is based around today! {I have had some questions about the apple stickers, but unfortunately...I got them in a kit over 3 years ago. They have been sitting on my desk ever since just waiting for me to use them. I think they *might* be Kawaii brand, but I don't know for sure.}
Please check out the supply list and instructions to recreate this card on my Key Ingredients Day 2 post on the KI Blog. You may have seen a similar design before on my blog....I totally scraplifted myself for this one! :) Totally legal in my opinion...tee hee!
If you aren't a subscriber, and really want this kit...no worries! There is still time! Just head on over to the Subscription Page and get yourself signed up! You will love it!
Well, that is all I have for you today! I hope that you have a great Friday evening!! ♥♥♥
Until later,
