Seize the Sketch: You are my favorite.

Post 1 of 2 for me today...click HERE for my Sweet Stamp Shop March Release #2 post.


Hello and we're back with a new sketch



Awesome sketch by Jen N!

Before I get to my card, I wanted to say "see ya around" bloggie land to


I know that I'll see you gals but I will miss your constant Seize the Sketch inspiration!!!

We also want to 
welcome our new teamies


We're thrilled to have you on the team!!!

I gotta tell you, the Seize the Sketch team is awesome, such a fun group of gals!

Okay, ready for how the sketch inspired me?

Here you go:


I generally tend to stick to one paper manufacturer per card...mixing and matching patterns from a single collection.  This is how I make it easier on myself, rather than sorting through my bazillion paper pads, yes, I literally have that many.

The Basic Grey Fresh Cut collection sings to me...it is so happy & springy!


I love that PTI die,  but man, it gives me a mental workout.  I'm a 'carefree' crafter = paper & embellies are typically flying around when I craft.  I have to concentrate and purposefully save the pop outs....see the interior of the 'Y', 'o', 'A' & 'R'?  Dude some of those pieces are microscopic when you have old lady eyes!  It's so worth the work though, I love the contrast of the frame and the text.

I used vellum banner flags on the top of my card and finished it off with my very last Fresh Cut bloom.  I'm ordering more of those puppies, they rock {thanks Sherry!}.  

Kimberly is the one that RAK'd me the Fresh Cut 6x6 paper pad and I've managed to crank out a total of 6 cards, including today's.  Love how the 6x6'ers give you that ability....I still have plenty of paper left to make more cards!

I hope that you'll play along with us!
