Going Green Blog Hop

by 28 Comments

Welcome to your next stop on the Going Green Blog Hop with Sassy Lil’ Sketches.    If you just found my blog and did not get here from Amy’s Blog, please head over to Sassy Lil’ Sketches and play through the Hop so that you don’t miss any gloriously GREEN projects. 
Above is my card.  It was a little stretch on the sketch, but it’s what my little brain came up with.  The rules for the Blog Hop are as follows:
Create a project (card, layout or altered) using “Going Green” sketch AND one of the “Going Green” criteria below:
  1. “Go Green:” Do a project that is predominantly green in color.
  2. “Reduce:” Reduce your stash by creating a project where all the product used are at least one year old (no new stuff).
  3. “Reuse:” Do a project with left overs from a previous project.
  4. “Recycle:” Do a project with an item that was used for something else first.
We will be offering a random Grand Prize for one participant. Participants can get their name in for the Grand Prize by
  • 1) becoming a follower of Sassy Lil’ Sketches,
  • 2) leaving a comment on each of the DT’s Blog, or
  • 3) by doing the “Going Green” Challenge and linking it to Mr. Linky at http://sassylilsketches.blogspot.com by 9 P.M EST on Sunday, March 14th.
Here is the SKETCH:

I created the hat-shaped card to similate the scalloped circle.   Can you see most of the other elements?  I’m just missing a one of the extra circles to the left.  I hope it helps you to think outside the borders and see a sketch in a new light sometimes.   It’s great to stay true to a sketch, which I do quite often because I am so visual, but sometimes it’s fun to stretch it a little.   It also meets the requirements because it is predominantly GREEN.  I also used papers from my scrap basket.  The cardstock for the card base was leftover cardstock from my Vacation album.  The hat band and buckle were cut from scraps from my scrapbasket.   Then I glittered them!  The card shapes came from A Child’s Year and Designer’s Calendar. I welded the hat using my Gypsy.   If you want the gypsy file, please click HERE.  I just ask that you PLEASE leave me a comment if you download my file.   The whole card was also inked and shaded with Tim Holtz Distress Inks; crushed olive & forest moss.  The sentiment inside the card was stamped with a stamp from PaperTray Ink’s Signature Greetings collection and Memento black ink. 

Here is the inside of my card.

The whole card reads as:  “I’m not lucky….I’m blessed.  You are a Blessing to me”
You are all blessings to me.   I hope you are enjoying our hop this weekend.  Don’t forget to say Hi while you are here visiting and I also have a little gift I’m offering this weekend so check it out HERE.  
Your next stop on this hop is visiting a true Irish gal, Heather.  You can get to Heather blog by clicking HERE. 
Thank you so much for joining us and stopping by today.

    oh wow – I love your take on this sketch! So creative…and honestly at first I was wondering what the greeting was going to be if the front of the card said “I’m not lucky”. Great sentiment – and one I share with you. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Gramjak, with your Gypsy plugged in to your computer, you can open Gypsy Sync and move the file from your computer to your Gypsy. There will be a button to Upload File(s) to Gypsy in the bottom left corner of your Gypsy Sync program. If you still have trouble, PLEASE let me know and I’ll help you further. Enjoy.
