2 Sketches 4 You (1 Dec 2008 Sketch)


This is the first time I've blogged! Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my sister showed me the 2 Sketches 4 You site. I thought, "This is cool!"


I needed to make a birthday card for my friend, who is turning the BIG 4-0, and I decided to use the sketch. For my birthday, one of my friends gave me a birthday paper & embellishment kit by Colorbok (Dena's Closet) so I've used that paper for Maria's card.


Other supplies: Cardstock & Ribbon (Club Scrap); Photo Corner (Heidi Swap); Chipboard (Plain Jane); Ink (Ranger Distress); and Patterned Paper, Embellishment ("4" & "0"), & Transparency Quote (Colorbok kit).


Since we moved to a different house in May, I haven't had much time to scrapbook. I'm hoping the card challenges will get my creativity flowing again. I have two more cards for next week (Christmas gift exchange and another birthday) -- I can't wait to see the sketches.

Welcome, welcome! Be careful though both 2s4u and blogging can be quite addicting! (-;
Great card! Love what you did with Laura's sketch! Be sure to tune in next week for another fab sketch by Kazan and a bonus sketch by me!

For the record, the friend did LOVE the card. Of course, I'm just so amazed at all T's work that I've collected them all and display them in my office.
