Saturday Sketch Challenge #244

Many thanks to the Operators at Stamping 411 for featuring my card in this weeks' Stampers Showcase!

I worked this up for this weeks' Saturday Sketch Challenge over at Stamping 411.  I have to say that I really enjoyed this weeks' sketch!  Very fun and very easy to adapt to my own shabby style.  I'm not quite sure about the pleated satin ribbon around the layered image.  I shouldn't have tried to contour the label so closely -- it looks a little messy.  I think that the next time, I'll layer the pleated ribbon in an oval, instead.

I worked this card up for this weeks'  Saturday Sketch Challenge over at Stamping 411.  I thought about it all week and didn't think that I could come up with anything for this weeks' sketch, but I had a minor brain storm this morning!  I changed around the image on the left and things started to fall nicely into place, I think.

Saturday Sketch Challenge #241

I played with this weeks' Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge by turning it on it's side and using a heart instead of a mirrored, offset behind the gnome image.  I hadn't used my Gnome Sweet Gnome set yet, but really like it.  Using it, I started to get all sorts of cute ideas for future projects!

Attic Boutique side notes...

I've been playing around with a couple of new things today.  I got Language of Friendship for SAB ad a my friend, Melanie Schulenberg, sent me a set of Attic Boutique side notes.  I'm not very good at mix-and-match, so I thought that I'd see what I could put together -- I'm very happy with the result!
