What a week!

Wow I can’t believe it is Saturday already. Where did the week go? I have been so busy I haven’t even had a chance to stamp. I took some time yesterday and used Beate’s Weekend Sketch Challenge to do this card. I realized as I was posting it though that I modified the sketch a little.

Patriotic Bee

This is another image I got from the image swap.  I must admit that I struggled with what to do with this image.  I began by coloring the image.  I remember I had some fireworks looking paper and thought it would be a good idea to use it on the background.  From there I just kept adding pieces until I was finished.  I must admit I am happy with how it turned out.

A Masculine Challenge

Sorry for the late post but Kay had physical therapy and had to have her blood tested today so I was playing chauffeur. The Penny Black Challenge this week was to create a masculine card without using blue. I borrowed Kay’s cute frog stamps and found this great patterned paper in my DCWV Glitter Stack to go with it. Here is one of the cards I came up with. Stamps: It’s a Circus (Penny Black),…
