Card Patterns Sketch 71

I admit it... I have problems with totally symmetrical designing - so this sketch threw me. It was challenging for me to come up with a design I liked... but in the end, this is a birthday card I already duplicated a couple of times for my friends with birthdays this week.

Found my water color crayons tucked away and was thrilled to break them out again - so many fun colors to choose from and to mix and match. And... this is my favorite color combo at work, purple and green!

Color Throwdown 99

This is for the Color Throwdown 99 --- I had already picked out these colors for another card I had made earlier this week... So, I figured I'd just use up some scraps and make another.

I love the new Hampton Art cling stamps... such style! Added a few touches of a glaze pen and voila... Cute!

Card Patterns Sketch 70

This is my second contest entry... feeling rather bold today, I guess. This one is for Card Patterns - Sketch 70. It's definitely a literal interpretation of the sketch and it came together rather easy. Can't wait to give this one to the next friend who needs a good laugh!

2s4y Laura's Sketch 55

I've been "lurking" on a bunch of the contest blogs for a little while now, thinking someday I would enter one of them... Today is someday!

This card was inspired by Laura's sketch 55 on 2sketches4you. I had fun adapting and working with a sketch, trying my hand at making it my own. I hope I wasn't too liberal in my interpretation of the sketch. All in all, I came up with a card I really like - and that's what matters, right?

Hang In There

This adorable, just for fun-type card was all about the patterned paper. I fell in love with this paper pack, knowing it would make designing fun cards a breeze. Who wouldn't smile getting this cute little guy barely hanging on?
