Graphicat Sketch #21: Bazinga

Happy Monday! Today begins a new challenge over at Graphicat Designs and I have for you a *Smash page. I got on board with the whole *Smash craze last year. I thought it was a great idea to get back to some form of scrapbooking without the pressure of creating fancy layouts. Sadly for me, I did as much as buying the book with very few accessories and that was it. Lol.  So now, this year I want to refocus on other things aside from cards and *smashing and scrapbooking is one of them. I really want to try to record my memories, thoughts (both bad and good) and starting on a small scale will get me there.

Ok so I created a page in honor of my favorite tv show, The Big Bang Theory. I slightly tilted the sketch and used the Bazinga sentiment from Cheri's shop. I found this awesome AC ribbon in my stash that was perfect for this. Because lets get serious, you cant think of the big bang theory without thinking of comic books and sexy nerds. hehe

Thanks for stopping by!

Grey Goes West Release Hop

Hey All. Today we are celebrating a brand new saucy release over at Graphicat Designs. It is a combined release of Western "raunchy" :) sentiments as well as some "naughty" Fifty Shades of Grey ones. If you are just starting make sure you HOP BACK TO THE START with Cheri where you will find a freebie. If you have been hopping along then WOW, right!! and that means you should be hoping over from Sarahs. 

The theme of the blog is Western and 50 Shades but since I'm not much of a western gal (Nature and I just do not mesh well, lol) I decided to use the "smutty" 50 Shades sentiments. Hehehe. Ok so I'll confess and say that I haven't read any of the books. I have the general idea of what the first one is about but of course none of the juicy tidbits. So since this Mr Grey is Tall Dark and Handsome with a little kink in him I figured he is just the one we've all been dreaming about me :D 

This sexy gal stamp is Raychel from Kraftin Kimmie. I thought she matched perfectly with this sentiment and  because I can just imagine this stance of hers as her online profile picture. You know how us gals can be :) lol  

Ok so now hop on over to the Graphicat Sketch Challenge to see the sketch of the week and another freebie. WooHoo!! To see the complete new release, Check them out here

Thanks for stopping by!!

Ps. For a chance to win one of the new sentiments, leave a comment and a random winner will be chosen. Also one person will win the complete release, but for that you must play along  with the sketch :) Remember that you can rotate the sketch if you need to, I did.

Graphicat Sketch #9: Terribly Late...Naughty

Happy Memorial Day!! This is the kick off to Summer and what a beautiful day it is. But let's put a pause on all the B-B-Q'ng and Pool jumping for a minute and give thanks to all the brave troops that have fought for us and for all the ones that continue to do so.

Today is also the beginning of a new sketch over at Graphicat Sketch Challenge. Here is my take on the challenge. It may seem like it's not there but I promise that it is, just peel off the layers of flowers. Lol. 

I, again, used my favorite Hatter from Tickled Pink Stamps. He comes from Lil Perfect Match line, which by the way is 40% off. I was inspired by his top hat, which is why I added on to the front and one to the inside. The sentiment I used on the front, is one of my favorite lines of the movie. It's in the scene when Alice is arriving to the Tea Party. (This is not a digi, I typed it up myself).

For the inside of my card, I used one of Hatter's famous quote. This sentiment digi is called "Why Is A Raven" and can be found at the Graphicat Store.

Make sure you head on over to the Graphicat Sketch Blog to check out what the other Crafty Catz created for you.

Graphicat Sketch #8 with a TPS Sponsor

Happy Monday! It's the start of another Graphicat Sketch, #8 to be exact. This one is has a lot of possibilities, so hopefully, you play along. 

Here is my take on the sketch. I used one of my favorite Tickled Pink Stamp images, Lil Little Lolita Ivy, who is currently on sale. In case you haven't heard, Tickled Pink Stamps is having a blow out sale where all rubber stamps must go and digis have a 25% off. Sadly Tickled Pink will be closing down, which you can read about it HERE, but in the meantime all images are still available for purchase so make sure you get yours. 

This week, TPS is sponsoring The Corrosive Challenge, where the theme is Flowers, Doilies and Bling (use at least 2 of the 3).  I used all three items, how could I not, I just looooooove me some flowers :) 

Sentiment: Graphicat Designs

Graphicat Sketch #7: Cooler Together

Happy Monday Morning!!! Hmmmm, that seems a little wrong to say, Lol. It's time to get up and start the week and this week, I'm starting it off with a new Graphicat Sketch. We are already at #7, Wow time flies!

Here's my take on the sketch. I know it may look a little off but I swear it's hiding in there. Lol. I rotated it to the right. The images are from the new School Pinkettes line from Tickled Pink Stamps. I thought Jessie and Heidi would look cute together, especially because Heidi looks like a silly little gal. 

The sentiment is "Way Cooler" with a cool price of $1.00 from Graphicat Designs.

Make sure you hop on over to the Graphicat Sketch Blog to check out the amazing samples from the rest of the Catz :). And make sure to play along :)

Tickled Pink Stamps is Sponsoring...

Hey All, Happy Sunday!!!  Tickled Pink Stamps is sponsoring Two different challenge blogs this week, Crafting When We Can and The Corrosive Challenge. So that means you'll get double chances to try and win some TPS images.

For my card, I used Lil Allsort Fairy Kira. This is one bad ass fairy, so not your typical type. I paired her up with this very funny and sarcastic sentiment from Graphicat Designs called Happiness Fairy. This sentiment can be found in digi and clear stamp form. This is going to make a perfect Birthday Card for my oldest niece, who can be surly and have a 'tude sometimes, but I know she's going to love it because of it.

Make sure you pop on over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to check out what the Pink Ladies created. You don't want to miss it.

Graphicat Sketch #3: What Happens in Kindergarten...

Happy Monday and Happy March! Wow!!! time is surely flying by. How Scaaaaary! Ok so today is the beginning of Sketch #3 for Graphicat Sketches. Another awesome sketch from Mrs Graphicat herself :)

Here is my take on the sketch using this adorable Wild Sprout tomboy from The Greeting Farm. WS Audrey is just the perfect blend of cute and trouble :) I'm thinking I may have strayed a little from the sketch, but when you're going for tacky cute then that tends to happen. lol.

So what do yo think of that sentiment? Cuuute right? It's called "Kindergarten" and it can be found in the Graphicat Store HERE.

I hope you get play along with Sketch #3 because this time Everyone is a Winner!! :) There will be one random winner that will win the Happiness Fairy Clear Stamp but also, all players will win their choice of digi. Yay!!

Graphicat Sketch #2: Wild Tea Party

Happy President's Day!! I hope you are all enjoying your Holiday lounging, bbq-ing, crafting, shopping or all of the above :)  I'm here today with Sketch #2 for Graphicat Sketches/Designs. Isn't this sketch awesome and a little tricky (lol).  It allows you to add loads of layers which in turn frees up your space for new paper pads, flowers and fibers.  It is a vicious cycle isn't it? lol

Here is my take on the sketch using some of my favorite characters from one of my favorite stories.  I might have gone a little "wild" (lol) with the flowers but I just love the look of a lot of flowers on a card. I'm sorely lacking on a variety of them but with time, I'll either learn to make them myself, bow to crafty pressure and buy a huge expensive bundle or simple say, "the heck with this, no more flowers". lol
