Pink & Main Pen Pals with Atlantic Hearts Challenge

Hello!  For this week's sketch I decided to create a batch of cards that were fun yet easy.  You may notice there is no stamping. I acquired this Pink & Main 6x6 paper pad called Pen Pals.  It really had the cutest images and great sentiments on the cut apart pages, so I used this sketch added in the gatefold twist.  I created 7 cards using this sketch and a few other cards that not using this sketch.  I've already shared several of these simple yet unique cards.

Here's this week's sketch.

While the dog was my favorite image, the snail is my second favorite.  Since this paper pad was second hand there were some sheets missing from the pad.  I used the background paper here up quickly while making this batch.

Ingredients:

Pink & Main Pen Pals 6x6 papers

misc card stock

Thanks for reading today.  Don't forget to play along with AHSC until Sunday evening.

Scrapbook.com Ballerina Nutcracker card for Atlantic Hearts challenge

Hello, today I am using the Atlantic Hearts Challenge Sketch 658.  I grabbed some last year purchases from Scrapbook.com to create this Nutcracker card. I love this set and got it on a great deal last year.  It was part of kit that was not used in the class.  I had to get it out and use the precious ballerina.

Play along with the sketch on the blog.
