Blessings...

Happy Saturday everyone!! My card today was made for a Sketch Challenge over on Stamp TV. I really like doing sketch challenges. It helps to increase your layout ideas and sometimes it can be a REAL challenge just trying to figure out what images, papers, etc. to use. But it also gives you more room to really just personalize a card without color or image restrictions. This wonderful Sketch was actually done by Mary Anne and posted by Cathy. I really liked this layout. I used Asela's, "Friendship Garden" from Gina K Designs and colored it in using my Copic markers. I also used my Cuttlebug to emboss the soft leaves as a background on my card base. Do you recognize the bow??? A buttony-bow, as Joanne Basile demonstrated for us on her blog. I am getting really hooked on these!!! I have a whole day today at my shop so I hope I can finish more challenges from Stamp TV that were posted last week. And... I hear tell there's a blog hop in the works... woohoo!! More on that later. Hope you had a great begger's night, if they do that where you live, and a wonderful Halloween today! *smile*
