CPS Sketch 153: Cherish You, Valentine!

My entry for the CPS Sketch #153 Challenge sponsored by PTI is a masculine Valentine for a very special guy in my life! When I got my first Core'dinations Black Magic CS, I knew I wanted to use some masculine colors with my Tartan Cuttlebug folder for a male relative's Valentine and it just couldn't have any hint of pink or red or ribbon of any kind. Here's my embossed & sanded result -- hope he likes it!!!

Paper: Core'dinations Black Magic CS; Basic Grey's Aged & Confused Vagabond DP; Black & Denim CS from stash

Tools/Accessories: Spellbinders' Wizard; Tartan Cuttlebug Embossing Folder; Queen & Co. buckle; vinyl stickers; sandpaper

CPS Sketch 128: PTI Everyday Classics Wishing You Well

This is a great CPS sketch and I used two fabulous PTI stamp sets, but my creative mojo seems to have taken today off (hope it's back tomorrow). After much effort expended, I decided I'd just go ahead and post this anyway. Sigh!

CPS 104 Card Sketch/PTI's With Sympathy Card

Finally got a chance today to play with my new goodies from PTI and to do a CPS sketch! I knew I was going to LOVE this set, even though it's designed for making sympathy cards. As the ingenious designers @ PTI have already demonstrated, it works so well for so many other creations too!!!
I used just part of the large vine stamp for my card here, along with a small flower and sentiment from this fabulous set. Making it even more awesome, there are two small add-on sets, one for the Loss of a Child and one for the Loss of a Pet for only $5 each!!! We all hope we'll never need the one for a child, but we know our furry friends don't share our usual longevity, so it's a great set to have on hand.
