birthdays and butterflies

Here is the last card that is sitting on my desk and it is actually going postal for my niece Shannon's birthday on Monday.

A Page In Time Scrapbooking did a card sketch this week along with their regular scrapbooking challenge.

A really fun sketch and an easy way to use up some of your scraps. For my card I used some dark Esse brown cardstock, pattern paper and diecut shape are by BasicGrey from the new Curio collection. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart Punch which I added some Fiskars black Raindrops to and I distressed all the edges with Ranger vintage photo ink.

Isn't this just a fun sketch?

Enjoy!

too kind

I have a quick card to share with you today for the newest challenge over at APIT it is a sketch challenge my favorite kind.

Don't you just love this sketch? I found it was perfect to use my last piece of this "Oh Sophia" paper by My Minds Eye and some of my rolled roses.

I also am making some more of my wrinkle ribbons to sell and these are 3 of the newest ones I made. I love the blue especially as it reminds me of denim blue. If you are interested in purchasing any of my wrinkle ribbon leave me a comment or send me an email.

I am off this morning to help Shannon and her girl scout troop work on their scrapbooks from all the activities they did this past year as a troop. It should be fun.

Check this out over at Claudia and Company. My blog has been featured in their new You've Been Spotted weekly segment.

Enjoy and I will be back tomorrow.
