I am one of the top 3 at Unscripted!


Unscripted is one year old and they are having a treasure hunt through the DT’s blogs. It is really fun. I gave it a try but I am not sure I got them all right. The best part is you see so many wonderful cards by some of the best card makers.
I am so excited. My card was picked as one of the top three cards last week at Unscripted. It is the card that is here. I really love that blog. The DT are the nicest ladies and they leave the sweetest comments. This week is sketch #49. If you get stuck and need a great sketch to get started go check them out.
This is my card for this weeks challenge. The paper is from Cosmo Cricket called Silly Sam. I think I am addicted to CC. I have a LOT of their paper and I save it because it is so cute. I just had to break it out when I saw how much I have collected. The base card is SU Ruby Red. The image by SU called All Wrapped Up. I got this set used and I think it is so cute. I just saw that jar and the balls on the paper and thought of a marble jar. So those are marbles in my mind. Then I thought of a story we just read in school and I wanted the frog in the jar with the marbles, making it a fun boy card. So what do you think?
I stamped the frog and the jar on white card stock and used Copic markers to color them. His eye is a Hero Arts gem. Last, I added a few stitch lines with a Gelly Roll Stardust pen. The inside has some more of the paper and a marble bouncing across the card.
Other challenges this card works for:
Pile it on: Animal Riffic
Charisma Cardz Challenges: Spring

A Valentine


Today I made a Valentine's card for the Unscripted Sketches challenge. The cupid was cut with my Cricut from the Sweetheart cartridge. The printed paper is from Cosmos Cricut. I think it is so cute. The colors don't show up as pretty as they really are. The heart brads are from Queen & Company. The base and cupid is pure luxury ivory card stock from Stamp TV. The pattern paper is layered on SU Taken with Teal. I like the one in the front. I made the cupid and circles bigger.

On Saturday hubby and I went to Cabela's. We go every year for his birthday. This year we went to the one in Cedarburg WI. It was amazing. There is an aquarium like one you would see in a museum. I took this picture of us with my timer but it turned out like I as playing Alfred Hitchcock and making a cameo appearance.
Then we stayed at a lovely B&B called the Stagecoach Inn. We went in to a lot of little shops and had a great time.

I hope you had a great weekend too.
Thanks for stopping and let me know what you think.
