Let's Capture Our Memories: Sketch #67 (and another set of extras!)

Good Saturday to you, my scrappy peeps! So happy you dropped by! I've been kinda incognito from my blog lately, but that's because I've been busy blogging away over at Let's Capture Our Memories. I've been coordinating the LCOM design team since January and honestly, it's a blast. A new term is coming up, and that means lots of scrappy newness on the horizon. FUN!

But back to today. It's all about sketches. Laura Whitaker sketches to be exact. I just love her way of putting her ideas on paper. And what's even better, is that she shares those ideas with us so that we can design our own projects using them! She even has her own sketch site right here. This week, I used Laura's card sketch up on the LCOM blog to make a Mother's Day card. Here they are - the sketch, followed by my design:

Using a Stampin' Up cardstock piece for the base of the card, I then turned to Echo Park's For the Record 2 "Tailored" collection. Yes, those flowers are fussy-cut from a piece of patterned paper! I finished the design with a few Kaisercraft pearls, stitching using a Bazzill Basics stitching template and DMC floss, and a Stampin' Up sentiment stamp using StazOn ink. Voilà! A Mother's Day card all ready to go!!

While I'm here, I figure I best show you what I've been up to lately - and to be fair/honest, it's for my own recording purposes. ;) Here are a few designs that I've done since the last time I saw you (for more information on each layout, click on the link below each photo):
