Love your pretty pink and orange combo for this pretty card to wrap up your fun Blog Blitz!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of your 11 posts has been to see all the variations on the sketch!
This so reminds me of my brother's cats - he has to put his loo paper in the cupboard so that they don't do this!
ReplyDeleteLovely card - great combining of spots and stripes. I really think I should go back and have a look at some of your blog blitz posts when I get the chance. I really have only had a quick look at the cat pictures as they have come up on my reader as I have been unwell all week!
that cat with toilet paper reminded me to other day when I found all my toilet papers in my cabinet in bathroom wall destroyed by my cat!
ReplyDeletemy favorite parts where founding some new things about you .
Love your sweet kitty photo! Sweet card too, love that adorable little cupcake.
ReplyDeleteI think this card is lovely too, Janis.
ReplyDeleteMy fav. part about this blitz was the challenge! As I've said before, I like the idea of using leftover products in our stash and I think it much more fun challenging myself to use what I have. With that being said, again, I like to use up products so I don't feel so guilty about buying more...LOL
Its been fun. Glad I found time today to catch up!
Cute card, love the fun pink orange and flower~~
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the blog blitz is seeing all these hilarious kitty photos! Where do you find them all? My favorite is the kitty with the yarn in his mouth!
ReplyDeleteTake care!

Oh yummy! This card reminds me of a creamsicle on a stick! Or maybe one of those orange flavored Hostess cupcakes that seem to appear only during the spring and summer months. (yes,I am a connoisseur of junk food). Either way, I love this lively orange confection and I thank you for inspiring us (and me in particular) with your eleven happy sketch cards this week. You almost made me a fan of sketches! As for my favorite part of the blog blitz, it was letting us share in the discovery of how many ways this sketch could be used...and how a card plan can often go astray as your paper scraps develop minds of their own. Still have to laugh that you failed to make even one masculine card in the bunch!! Thanks for a creative and entertaining blog blitz and celebration!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say YUMMY! And saw the last blog commenter wrote it LOL So I'll start by saying, "How Delicious, Janis!" Lovely citrusy colors in the background with that beautiful sketch, and the perfect touch of sweetness in your cupcake! Do I smell orange or tangerine - either way, it smells great! Beautiful card, and so pleased you were able to blog all the cards. I've had a look and they are all so unique and lovely! Hope you are doing well, Janis. Hugs, de
ReplyDeleteWho says you can't put spots and stripes together. what do they know!!!!! Do we get to have the masculine card now though? Loved seeing all your creations. Best part for me is seeing how you have contrived to get even just a tinsy bit of pink creep in each time which just goes to show that your really a pink girl at hesrt just like me. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteYour last card is also super adorable. I really enjoyed how you showed how you can use your scraps to make wonderful cards. I also like the color combos you used. Lastly I like your cat cartoons.
ReplyDeleteI have loved seeing the different color combinations. You have also inspired me to pull out some scraps and get my craft on!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Love the watercoloring. Thanks for blitzing our sketch and playing along with our Inspirations challenge. All of your cards were so delightful.
ReplyDeleteAnother cute card. Thanks for sharing this great sketch. I plan on using it. I enjoyed seeing the mix of papers you used and it was to see how many were in my stash too.
ReplyDeleteHappy color Yummy card..........Lis
ReplyDeleteSuper bright and cheerful Janis! Makes me think of ice cream cones in the hot, hot sun! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the final card too. I think the most interesting thing is seeing what combinations of papers you have used. You have done the whole thing so well
