Go-to Gal Designer Challenge #1

Happy Monday Everyone! I'm in a sketch sorta groove right now. I adore Betsy Velman's style so when I saw the first ever Go-to Gal Sketch challenge on her blog I was immediately up for the challenge.

This unique sketch kept me up at night...seriously...thinking, thinking, thinking..."what will I do"....and then it came to me... :)


I used Papertrey Ink's Enjoy the Ride and Bird Watching Additions along with the best Hero Art's background stamps Clouds and Designer Woodgrain. I love mixing and matching PTI with Hero Arts. :)



I'll definatley be back to use this sketch again. Thanks Betsy!

Oh goodness....I feel bad that my sketch kept you up! :-) This card is so FUN though, and hopefully worth the loss of a few zzzz's? I love how you turned it sideways and the flying birds are just perfect!! Thanks so much for playing along!

The release is another knock out hit! Each stamp set is amazing! Today I'm featuring Cross My Heart and I sneaked in a few of the other sets too! ;) I started my card by die cutting the stitched index card . Then I cut out the window  which is designed to open. (cool, right?) I wanted a frame for my window so I die cut the window again and trimmed the side before adhering it to my index base. Then I backed my window with some cloud patterned paper for my outside sky. Next I stamped and die cut the cats from Purrfect Pair. I have had SO much fun with these cats. After adhering to cats to the window sill, I stamped and fussy cut the heart balloon. I tied some black floss around the balloon and adhere it to the kitten's paw. Finally, I stamped my sentiment.
