Better Get Better-Retro Sketch

It's Monday, so it's time for another Chi Chi Memories post from me!! For this week's post, I decided to play along with this week's Retro Sketches challenge. 

I used the new, and super cute, Take Care My Friend digi for my card today. I printed my image on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was then layered with Bubblegum, Berrylicious, and Orange Fizz cardstock from MFT. My background paper is from an MME paper pad, and I used the Open Scalloped Doily Die-namics to cut it out. I embellished my card with Bubblegum grosgrain and buttons from MFT, and some brads from Michael's. The sentiment I used is from a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps set.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the Chi Chi Memories blog, and the Chi Chi Memories facebook page to keep up with all the goings on!!

Have a great day!

Have some krafty fun and join us this week!!  Most of my cards are super girly, so this one was easy peasy!!

The challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges is a sketch, so it was really easy to tie these together.

For my card, I used the super cute Goldilocks image from Once Upon a Time 3. She was stamped and colored with Copics on X-Press It blending card, and then cut out with my Oval Stax Die-namics. I paired her with some Simpls Stories Vintage Bliss paper, and used her with Blu Raspberry, Banana Split, and Bubblegum paper. My buttons and cardstock are from MFT, and I also used brads and a spiral clip.

TCP Tuesday Challenge-Anything Goes

It's been quite too long since I played along with my teammates at The Cat's Pajamas....this move has really beat me up!! New town, new store, new apartment....everything is so new, but I am slowly getting back to normal, I think. The unfortunate side effect of moving has been increased headaches, so to a neurologist I go! Hopefully they can find some answers. 

This week's TCP challenge is anything goes, so literally ANYTHING you make using TCP stamps will work for this challenge...and you should play along. Not because I said so, but because you can win stuff...$10 cat cash to be exact, and who doesn't like free stamps and dies? That's what I thought, now get to stamping!

For my card today, I paired the SUPER cute Flying By set with some fun Echo Park Boy's Life paper. I stamped him on X-Press It blending card, and then colored my image with Copics. My clouds were stamped then cut out. I used a Steel Grey button and some Hemp cord from MFT to attach my sentiment flags. For my background, I used more of the yummy Echo Park paper and the Fishtail Flags Stax Die-namics. To finish my card off, I added some brads to the corners. The cardstock colors I used were Steel Grey, Sour Apple, Orange Fizz, and Smooth White from MFT.

I also used the current Deconstructed Sketch challenge!!

Well, that is it for me for now! Here are some rules you need to know!

Here are the Details on how you can join in on the fun:

1. Every other Tuesday a new challenge will be posted here on this blog as well as on our Splitcoaststampers forum and our Facebook page.
2. If you want to play along you just upload your design using the InLinkz button below*. If you want to display your pretties on Splitcoaststampers use keyword TCPTUES266. Only the entries uploaded to the Inlinkz button will be considered for Swanky Stamper at the end of the month.

5. On the following TCP Tuesday, the winner will be chosen at random from the previous challenge and will receive a Cat Cash Voucher for $10 or $15 if a TCP product is used.
6. At the end of the month, The Swanky Stamper will be selected from all the weekly entries. The Swanky Stamper will receive some of the stamps from our next release and get to play along with us at our Pajamas Party and Blog Hop.
