Don't Worry, Be Happy

It's the 21st and time for another card sketch at Sassy Lil Card Sketches!  Here's Cherie's sketch for the week:

I am using paper from our generous sponsor, Nikki Sivils.  This is the Beatrice collection:

I had so much fun with this sketch!  As you can see, I flipped it.  One of the pieces in the collection is a scallop-bordered 12x12 sheet, so I used that as a starting point to create this 3-1/2 x 8 card.  Beatrice is a cutie, and I can just picture her saying "don't worry, be happy."  This is super fun paper!  Be sure to go to Nikki's product page and look at the rest of her papers.  It's all so stinkin' cute!!

Play along with this month and link up your card by April 5th.  Each time you play with the four sketches (7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th), you get another chance at winning.  Nikki Sivils is our sponsor this month, so I'm crossing my fingers for you!  I'd love for you to win some of her product!

Nikki Sivils

The Sketch-a-Thon is going on all month over at Sketches for You.  Have you played yet?  Nikki Sivils is one of the guest designers, and she generously shared some of her fall product with the designers.  I have never worked with her product before, and I had an absolute blast with her designs.  I used every little bit of what she sent as you'll see!  Nikki gave us a sketch to work with for a layout:

First off, a layout of my niece Amy's cute kiddos in a corn maze:

For this layout, I used one of Nikki's round mats and cut out the center.  It was easy enough then to pop the pictures on the back of the mat.  I used half of that circle on the top of the layout.  The little piece of ric-rac is actually a piece that I fussy cut from a border strip.  That CUTE little beaver is also fussy cut from paper.

My next project is a card:

Do you see that bread tag?  Nikki designed those and they are called bread(less) tags.  What a cute little element.  Those buttons are great, too.  Kind of a twill fabric on top - just a perfect touch!

My last project was a mini album using my favorite go-to album, the My Creations 6x6 Memory Showcase album from CTMH.  The front and back cover are almost the same, so I am showing you the front:

Nikki makes some grat papers, don't you think? Head on over to Sketches for You , to see what the rest of the DT has done!
