Card Patterns #35 - Fall Door Hangers!

I made a door hanger the other day using 2 Sketches 4 You but I needed another door hanger for work so this time I'm using Card Patterns! Don't you just love the sketch challenges!!

I actually made several of these ~ I'm going to give one to my mom and one to each of my sisters (I made 2 almost alike ~ and if you are my sister reading this blog then I guess the surprise will be ruined!).

The fall and fabulous were both cut from the Ashlyn's alphabet cricut cartridge. The paper is from the Making Memories fall 8 X 8 paper pack and one very old DCWV fall paper pack (don't know how long it has been hanging around).

I copied the ribbon folding idea from another person who submitted a card for this sketch (I'm sorry I can't remember who it was!). I was so intrigued on how it was done with a stapler that I had to try it! The turquoise colored ribbon I just got at Michaels (40% off) and the plaid had been hanging around for awhile!

The little photo corners are quickutz.

It was very fun to use the turquoise color with fall!





Thanks for taking a look! Hope everyone has a great week!

2 Sketches 4 You - Kazan Sketch #36 - A Door Hanger!

In the summer, I had made a couple door hangers with sketches and Kazan's sketch just made me think of one for fall! I wanted to do one so it was perfect!

The size of this is 8 X 8 and the paper is from a Making Memories 8 X 8 fall pack that I got at Michaels. I got the ribbon at Michael's also. The tree and Fresh Air are from the Cricut Graphically Speaking Cart and Fall is from the Cricut Ashlyn's Alphabet Cart. The pumpkin is a sizzix original and the leaf on the pumpkin and the owl are quickutz (I managed to use all my die cut systems in one thing!). The sparkly leaves are little buttons I got at Walmart when I did my daughter's outdoor school book!

I really like how it turned out! Thanks Kazan for a great sketch!

2 Sketches 4 You ~ Laura's Sketch ~ Week of Nov 3, 2008

I had an idea for the sketch ~ sugarplums dancing ~ but it just didn't work out very well so I did the fall card. I like it alot better. I also like using some of the non-traditional colors for fall, like purple!

Thanks for taking a look!

Cards for 2 Sketches 4 You Design Team

I had not posted these cards anywhere. I didn't get on the design team (there were way more talented people) but it really helped me to think outside the box! The "fall" card was for Kazan's Sketch. And the Halloween card was for Laura's Sketch.
