Turtles & Flowered Thank-You --- My Time Saturday Sketches

Lauren always has unique layouts for her cards, I really wish I could see how her amazing brain works - SO creative!  Anyway, she posted 3 sketches for this week - I had time to try out two of them.  All of the sketches can be seen on her blog here.   Oh, and she is choosing lucky people to be on a design team too - I'd love to be chosen!  

Turlte Card: I'm always needing birthday cards for kids, so these DeNami turtles are perfect for boys.  I colored them in with my copics and added crystal lacquer so they are shiny little guys.  I thought the fun pom pom layer added just enough texture, and is a little more masculine than a bow would be.  All decorative paper is from Stampin Up. Cardstock is PTI. 

Thank You:  Still loving my DCWV Glitter Stacks. All of this patterned paper is from the Citrus Stack.  I just grabbed a quick Thank You stamp, otherwise this is a scrappy card.  3 Flowers, with Making Memories Brads in the center.  I did try to add a little glitter accent with my Fiskars Apron Punch, it added just a touch of sparkle.  Stickles and white cardstock... easy, easy.
