sc269 wed sketch

Today is sketch day over on splitcoast stampers and always looked thru the sketch gallery for that weeks sketch to see if i can find some inspiratiion and to praise my fellow cardmakers. I came across a stunning card and i had to case it. So the card i cased is here
This is my interpation of that card. I used cuttlebug swiss dots folder, nestablities butterflies and martha stewart butterflies. I added a gina k sentiment some crystals and that about it. I love how it turned out. I don;t think it as stunning as the orginal. Thanks for stopping by.

some random cards

Here are some cards that i whipped up last
night during my scrap night at my friends house. The first card showcases two of my favorite unity stamps. I saw an adorable card by maren bendict in the paper crafts issue jan/feb 2010. I not sure i did her work justice but i like the look of what i came up with.


On this card i am still playing with the gina k baby set.

On this last card i won a stamp of my choice from artful inkables and i choose the twilight inspired set into the moonlight. Hope you have a great day.

ginak challenges

Gina K designs just had the february release and i orderd two sets. The beatiful butterfly you saw yesterday and the new oh baby set. I entered these two cards in a couple of challengs on the stamp tv site. The first is an inspire challenge to make a card showing off your crafting style. I think my crafty style is use as much as i can and i usually find someone project and that usually jump starts my mojo.









The other challenge i entered is a sketch challenge. I used some baby boy background paper and the new oh baby set. If you want to join in hop on over to stamptv.com and check out the challengs and you can use any stamps you have.

Gina K hope for hati butterfly set.

I a butterfly gal i have shirts, stamps, even my scrap room door is covered in butterflies. So when gina k started to show off her snippets for her feb release i was all ready to order this set. It a great set with a very simple butterfly and one sentiment. The other cool thing about this set is 2.00 of the stamp sale goes to hati. Now i like when i get something scrappy and help others at the same time. My card is a total case of one the dt memebers cards that was shown during the release so if you want to be inspired like me stop by the gina k gallery at splitcoast or head on over to stamp tv. Have a great day.
