Good Friday Friends With Flair and April SFYTT

Since Unity is sponsoring April's Sketch For You To Try, I decided to play along! I always have great intentions of doing all kinds of challenges, but never seem to get around to them. However, since this one gives you a whole month, it was one I could definitely get to!

I used the 6x6 Memory Box Brioche paper pack I just got from One Little Spark~I just LOVE the colors and the patterns in this line. The little Making Memories hearts started out a mauve color, so I colored them with Copics to match better.

I did some heavy distressing with my scissor and then further distressed the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The twine at the bottom was a gift from my friend Noelle and you can get your own by clicking HERE (great price and FREE shipping)! I distressed that a bit too with Antique Linen.

Last, but not least, the big GORGEOUS tea cup stamp is from Unity's December 2010 Kit of the Month and I love that the sentiment is built right in!

Victoria Case Beefcake & Some Modern Sugar Blvd.

A few more cards to share.....

I made these for co-workers prior to leaving my job last month. This first card uses Victoria Case's "Beefcake" digital image. When I saw this I knew I had to make a card for a guy I worked with because the image reminded me so much of him (yes I was lucky enough to work with someone that looked like this and was SUPER nice at the same time, which made him even more attractive!) Okay so he didn't look exactly like this, but close enough, maybe better!

The background image on this one is from Charmed Cards & Crafts and of course the "Beefcake" digi image is from the talented Victoria Case! I had so much fun making this card! The sentiment and name of the bar are kind of a joke that we had with this young cutie we worked with!

For the next two I used the Belly Mama digi stamp from Modern Sugar Blvd. This has to be one of my FAVORITES!!! I just love it :) and all of the men in my office had a crush on her when they saw these cards, too funny! They thought she was very sexy! For both cards I used paper from "Just Chillin" a Making Memories 8 x 8 paper pad that I got at Michael's. I made the brunette card first, then I RUSHED a few days later to do the blonde. I did a much better job coloring the brunette, I think. I still have a lot to learn with Copics!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far!

Hugs! Nora Anne
