Card Sketch Challenge

The challenge for this week at http://sketchesbytamara/blogspot.com/ is a card sketch.
Here is my entry.


I got a great page kit at the Danbury Retreat presented by By Design Scrapbooks (ala “the Pink Store”) http://www.bydesignscrapbookboutique.com/. I used many of the papers from that page kit for this card. The flower is by Bazzill (I think) and a whole bottle was given to me by my PAWS Secret Santa. Button is from my stash. I used cotton string for the button floss. Ribbon by HL.

Go check out http://sketchesbytamara/blogspot.com/ for artwork by the rest of the design team members. Enjoy!

Trick or Treat

I know, I know, Halloween photos in January! I organized my photos over the Christmas break and realized that I must have stopped scrapping in about 1993 or 1994 and then skipped to do current photos (I was bored). So I have a slew of older photos so I wanted to get started. I've also got a personal goal the past year to try to use up some of my stash and I am definitely doing that now. But the stuff is still good, right? Did this for a challenge on my PAWS group.

Enjoy! Karen
