Shout Out To SheetLoad

Have you heard of sheetload before? I just learned about it myself. It's this great site that helps you create beautiful cards. I am a card dummy so I instantly fell in love with this site. Each month they give you a sketch and cutting directions for making 8 A-2 cards. They also post tons of samples from their talented artists. The cards are amazing. I can't wait to try them for myself. Click on their name below to get to their site.

This lo was a challenge on the pieces of paper forum. The challenge was to do a two page lo, with 4 photos, ribbon, an oversized tag, sparkling title, 3 buttons, journaling and a die cut character. It was definitely a challenge to put all that on this lo but here it is.

I did an online crop Saturday, February 7th on the Pieces of Paper Forum. Here's what I made:

Challenge #1: This challenge was to use an 8x10 photo. I used the Dreams Come True cart.

Challenge #4: This was a sketch challenge. I used random paper. The font is called "Wacko". I used George, Happily Ever After and Calligraphy Collection carts.

Challenge #5: This was a build-a-layout challenge. I used 8 brads, 4 photo turns, rhinestones, 2 different ribbons, 2 patterned papers and 2 photo mats. The paper is K&Co. paper pack "Wild Saffron". The font is called "Smudger Let" and I used George and Bags, Tags and More carts.

Challenge #6: This was a sketch challenge. I used K&Co. paper pack "Studio K". The font is called "She Creature" and I used the campout cart.

Challenge #7: This challenge was to use a piece of acetate for either a shaker box or a stamped image. The fonts are "Janie HMK BLD, Kartika and Little Trouble Girl." I used three carts for this challenge: Happily Ever After, My World and George.

I'm Still Here.
