New Home

I made this card using the New Home Collection digi from Digistamp Boutique.

I had to keep the card pretty flat as it is being posted overseas by the friend who ordered it. 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking... have a great day!

Friday Sketch Challenge #3 (DT Post)

Welcome to the third challenge over at the  Friday Sketch Challenge Blog. Each fortnight there will be a new sketch challenge for you to use and some wonderful inspiration from the Design Team.

Yes I know, I am late... it is Saturday! I returned from a two-week family holiday in Queensland on Wednesday afternoon and I must admit my mojo has been sadly lacking the last two days! I managed to have all of my other posts scheduled while I was away so you didn't even realise I was gone... did you? Hopefully, I will get back into the swing of things soon. I didn't pick up anything craft-related for over two weeks so I must admit, I am a little out of practise!

Anyway enough rambling from me, this is what you are really here for...

We have a wonderful sketch by Sammi this week.

I have rotated the sketch and tweaked the positioning of the sentiment a little bit. This card is for my Sister to give to her hubby for his birthday (which is today).

Happy Birthday Glenn!

Pop on over to the blog to check out the inspiration from the wonderful Design Team.

Card Recipe:

Cardstock: Canson card, X-Press It Blending Card, Bazzill 

Paper: MME Playful Posies

Embellishments/Other: Copics, buttons, Charcoal bakers twine
