My Sketch Word 1 1/2 hour Sketch Challenge

Background scrap, border of paper with lace on top, the cutest
Pattie's Creations Digital Image and an epoxy sentiment.
I turned the sketch upside down.
I kept this one simple... embossed the background, added
scrap squares, corner accent and the epoxy sentiment.
For this card I embossed the centre piece, stitched all around, added
the butterfyl with a pearl trail and an epoxy sentiment.
Below is the sketch.
After making the LO we had to use the scraps to make the above cards.
Below is Lucy's amazing LO sketch used on this LO above.
I had fun making the cluster of flowers, adding the lace and stitching on this one.

Everyone had a great time with the 1 1/2 hour sketch challenge.
Amazing projects in the gallery to prove it.

Digital Two for Tuesday - Guest Designer Project for Fall/ Thanksgiving

Digital Two for Tuesday is a fabulous new site I just found.

There are amazing vintage digitals.

I applied to be a guest designer... and here is my posting.

I am so happy to share it with you. Be sure to check it out and the site... it is amazing.

My Project is for Thanksgiving. My wicker basket filled with fun fall coloured fruit and leaves is a great table centre piece. I used the fabulous digital image "native american" and the Celebrate sentiment. She was perfect for the Celebration Tag and the Place Cards. I got to use all the amazing fall colours to copic colour the images. I used cricut to cut the double layered tag.. added a few more layers for colour. The Kreaxions Punch #803 was the perfect floral accent, added some brads and ribbon. The finished project is perfect to Celebrate and give Thanks at this time of year.
