OK… Here’s the deal. I’m in search of my creativity. Seems like forever since I’ve done a card. That’s because my creativity just up and left! Didn’t even say goodbye! So to assist me on this scavenger hunt, I stopped by the 2 Sketches site for their 1st Annual Card Showdown. I really love the sketch. It was a challenge, but here’s my contribution...
Enjoy!
Here’s a card based on 2 Sketches 4 You Laura #20. I loved the sketch. I chose to make a birthday card for my mother. If I keep up with the challenges, I’ll have my cards done well before I need to send them. This is for an “end of March” birthday… I'll even have time to make some of the miscellaneous cards that I need to do. Could this be the end of my procrastination? Only time will tell.

Here’s card based on 2 Sketches 4 U - Kazan’s Sketch #20. I made this one just in the nick of time since the deadline is tomorrow. I love to combine black with nice vibrant colors. In addition to combining colors that I love, I also got a chance to use my new Fiskars’ punch and some new digital brushes.
Sounds like a good day to me.

2 Sketches 4 You has really provided lots of inspiration for this year’s cards. Here’s another February card that must get mailed today. The card is based on the 2S4Y SKETCH titled Laura's Sketch #19.
I decided to flip the orientation and change the shape slightly. This one was fun and I’ve gotten another birthday card ready to go. Can’t ask for more than that.
Enjoy…
I’ve got a couple of February cards that I need to make so headed over to the 2 Sketches 4 You site to see this week’s sketch. Kazan’s Sketch #19 was perfect for this quick and simple card. Since the card was so simple, I decided to make a matching box and fill it with candy… The box was a free Pazzles file that I got from one of the online Pazzles’ Yahoo groups.
Well, if you haven’t guessed by the look of the card and the Mike & Ike Tropical candy, this card is for an early teen. On the inside of the card, I adhered a small envelope with a gift card inside.
That’s it for now.
Enjoy…
Here’s a card based on Kazan’s Sketch # 18 over at the 2 Sketches 4 You site. I found this Friendship quote a while back. I saved it because I knew it would be a great sentiment for a card. The card was pretty simple to do. I used my Cricut for the die cuts.
Enjoy…
This birthday card is based on yet another 2 Sketches 4 You card sketch. I’m glad I’ve had a little time to play along. I’m enjoying it while I have the chance!
Anyway, the scallop circle as well as the circle was done with the Cricut. I decided to add a little hybrid flair by using some digital brushes to make the swirls on the circle as well as the bottom of the card.
Well, another card down many more to go!
Enjoy…
Had so much fun last week @ the 2 Sketches 4 You site that I decided to do it again. I loved the sketh this week because it gave me a reason to use what I LOVE -- Scallops! Well, that’s it for now.
Until next time,
Enjoy…
Well, instead of lurking on the 2 Sketches 4 You site, I decided to play along this week. They have some really talented people participating. Check them out if you haven't already.

A friend asked me to make a graduation card for his son. Graduation is Saturday so I finished this one with a day to spare. The school colors are black, white, and hunter green. I had some green ribbon that was perfect and since I’m OVERLOADED with black/white patterned paper, it was easy to get the other two colors.
Coming up with the design for this card was a lot easier thanks to a sketch that I got from 2 Sketches 4 You. I love doing cards from sketches. It can really help to get the creative juices flowing.
Another card down… Gotta get to those Father’s Day cards…
Enjoy…
