Fetch A Sketch - Sketch #9

K n K Designs Little Sheep

Hello and Happy Labor Day weekend!  I hope you are enjoying a peaceful holiday weekend where ever you might be.  We live in a very small resort town in western Arizona and are over run with tourists this weekend!  It's a good time to stay in and craft I'm thinking...  

My card today is a sample for the Operation Write Home Sketch #85.  Julie is our sketch artist and she asked a few of us on the OWH team if we'd like to make sample cards with her sketch for today's challenge.  We are celebrating Operation Write Home's second birthday as an org. the entire month of September and have K n K Designs as one of our first prize sponsors! We'll have lots of other fabulous sponsors and fun stuff going on too!

I've had K n K Designs Little Sheep for awhile now and thought this sketch would be the perfect opportunity to bring it out and use it!  I made a scene and colored everything with Copic markers B0000, B04, V000, V01, V12, R22, R24, R27, YG03, YG61, YG63, YG67, T3, T2, T1.  I used a Spellbinder Mega Oval die and matching scalloped die for my computer generated sentiment.

Be sure to stop by our Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps blog as often as you can this month, you won't want to miss out on any of the fun!

On a personal note I have a fun photo of Maxine for you today...

She'd been singing along with Michael while he practiced playing his saxophone and she looks like she just can't take it anymore.  I've been trying to get a good video of Michael and Maxine while he practices, one day...

Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting my blog today -

K 'n K Designs Valentine Kolar

My card today is for our Stamps R Us challenge that starts today, the theme is "Pets R Us".  Our sponsor for this challenge is Katlyn at K 'n K Designs.

I chose to use Valentine Kolar for my card, I thought he'd make a wonderful "love you" or "miss you" card for Operation Write Home.  

Kolar is colored with Copic markers E44, E43, E42, E41, B93, R81, R83, R85, R89.  My layout is C.A.S.E.d from Debbie Olsen.  I used patterned papers from a Basic Grey Bittersweet pad and and old Stampin' Up! paper pad along with Nut Brown and Neenah Solar White cardstock.  Spellbinders oval and large scalloped oval dies and a little crochet thread tied in a bow.  The sentiment was a $1 stamp from my favorite craft store in Lake Havasu City.

I hope you'll join in on our Pets R Us challenge!

K 'n K Designs Boxer Pup

Happy Saturday - it's my daughter's 11th birthday today!  I'd really like to turn back a few years because as she grows up we both get older.  We are celebrating all weekend, she had sleep over company last night and I'm sure there will be some video games to be played today.  Happy Birthday Jenny!

My card today was kind of a scary one for me, I so wanted this pup to look like Maxine our almost 6 month old boxer.  Her coat is a dark brindle and I'd never tried that before, I think it turned out pretty good, I'll post a picture of her below so you can judge for yourself.  

This is digital stamp set is a new release at K 'n K Designs today!  I asked Katlyn if she'd ever drawn a boxer before and she said she'd give it a try.  I sent her some pictures of Maxine for her model and I think she did a fabulous job!  

Maxine on the card is colored with Copic markers T7, T5, E44, E43, E42, E41, YG67, YG63, YG61, YG11, BG0000.  The patterned paper is digital and I found it at Sassy Designs, it's called Paws 2.  The best part about finding the digital paper pack is it's on sale for 80 cents, I couldn't believe my good fortune so I felt free to go shopping and collected about 10 paper packs in all - score.  The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs.

I hope you'll stop by Katlyn's K 'n K Designs store to have a look around, she has a free with purchase set this month. 

I also have a "Scrap Card" that I C.A.S.E.d from Andrea Walford, she did a tutorial on how to use your designer paper scraps on her blog.  I thought it was a wonderful way to use up all of the digital papers I've been printing.
