Saturday Sketch
OK Im posting this a day early cause tomorrow Noah has Soccer, and we have a full day of family stuff. I feel a Smilebox creation coming on!
Send me a link here in the comments section if you try the sketch OK! I LOVE seeing what you all do!
Oh, and if you find my mojo please return it! LOL! Its lost and Im so sad without it!
Despite no mojo I do love this card. My motivation is just gone-so no stamping for me this weekend. I do ahve PLENTY to share so keep checkin in 
And thanks to all of you who wished me and my family well! The prayers must have worked for Alexa cause she has her best “after chemo” time ever. She is generally exhasuted and sick, Like really sick, and this time she was up and ready to go to school! Made it through the whole 6 hour day with energy to spare for homework and reading!! Thanks Oh and her counts were OK too.
I am happy to report I am feeling much better too-definitely stress related!!!
OK back to the sketch
Bella-Beautiful b-day
Its Saturday once again. My FAVORITE day of the week, for sure!
I always post my sketch on Saturday, and hope you find tme to try it out. Dont be afraid of all the “layers” it really is an easy one!
I love making birthday cards. While Im always late on sending them, they are my favorite! My problem is I cannot send someone a card unless I made it just for THEM! I have this guilt that I just cant send it. So Im always late.
I still need to make a card for Jay’s grandpa-dang! I keep forgetting that!
I used my Cakeabella for this one. I love the Bella’s! I wish she had a place in the US to sell them cause I NEVER order due to the LONG shipping wait. I’m very impatient! Despite my long Bella Wish List-I havent ordered due to that fact! Plus the shipping for UM stamps from Canada-EEK! AmyR has been spoiling me with them, here and there! Im so lucky!
Anyway-they are CUTE ,CUTE, CUTE, and undeniably a must have.
That being said this is for my friend Nicole! I missed her b-day too! SORRY! She LOVES the bella’s.
So I made her this card. I have to say I LOVE it! The paper inspired my colors (scrap from a stamp store so I am sorry no clue who makes it) which are not your typical “mytime” combo of colors! LOL!
The sentiment is High Hellos by Lizzie Anne.
May arts ribbon, primas. bling, glitter on the candle, scallop punch, copic markers-all the makings of a great card!
You cant see that the black panel is dry embossed with polkadots-used my fiskars texture plate for that one. So there is some gret texture in this design as well!
Love her hair tie!
Anyway-I hope Nicole doesn’t mind a late b-day card!!!
Till tomorrow……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….:D
cute card- I love the bow in her hair! I am glad your DD was feeling better, and you too! It must have been a bad week for stress….I was sick with it too.
Oh this is so cute!!! I can’t wait to make a card with your sketch!
So happy to hear your daughter is feeling better and I hope she continues to get better!!
Super cute Lauren! Cakeabella is my favorite bella too. I wish I had your resolve though when it comes to ordering them.
I love this sketch too. I’ll have to find time this weekend to play with it.
I’m glad to hear Alexa’s chemo went so well. She is a brave little girl!
I’m so glad to hear that you baby had a easier time this time. This card is awesome. I guess you don’t mojo to totally rock, Lauren!!
Hugs,
Gina K.
Your experience with the Bellas is only a small taste of what
Canadians have to put up with for almost all other stamping supplies. It’s kind of nice to have something cool made and shipped from Canada.
So glad Alexa had a great rebound..that’s AWESOME…and I’m glad you are feeling better too
This card is adorable, I hope to be able to play tomorrow - but we’ve got soccer too, and a picninc/concert tomorrow night, so it will be a busy busy day!
Hugs to you -

Love your darling Bella! I will try and get your sketch done this weekend! Thanks! Blessings to you and your DD. Deb
Love how you colored the Bella Lauren and the sketch is fab! Maybe I’ll get a chance to play soon!
That is great about Alexa! Bella card is super cute.
I did the Saturday Sketch, it was so fun.
That is the cutest Bella card EVER!!! I LOVE what you did…all the great details…you are a creative genius!!! Have a fabulous weekend
Lauren, this is adorable. Love the hair bow. This is the only Bella I have (thanks to Julia S). Love that sentiment, too.
Yah!!! So glad to hear that Alexa is doing great!!!
K?? Love the hair bow too…
And if you are talking about “moi” than I don’t mind one bit getting late cards. I too am “never” on time b/c I have to make special cards for people. Please be sure to autograph this beauty for me

Glad to hear Alexa did better!
I like this sketch and am going to try using it this weekend - I have two cards to make and this will help!
PS: I *just* ordered some bellas last week and it only took 8 days for them to get here - not too bad, considering! Have you seen the new packaging??? You need to order some!!!
