Card Sketches

If you read my blog regularly, you're probably used to seeing the Sweet Sketch Wednesday here. I've stepped down from SSW to pursue other interests, but be sure to keep visiting the SSW site for more of Arlana's fun sketches. While you're there, leave the DT some love - I know they love to read your comments!

If you're on the lookout for more sketches (I know that I always am), be sure to visit the PaperWorksCo blog every Sunday for another great sketch from Peg. Every Sunday there's a sketch as well as a card sample featuring great stamps & products from the PaperWorksCo store. On Monday, there is a second card sample just to give you another take on the same sketch. During the month of July, I will be providing the Monday sample card, so be sure to check it out here and on the PWCO blog! I'd love to see you. :)

If you haven't checked out the PWCO blog recently, you missed my Free For All (FFA) Tuesday card:

Isn't he a fun stamp? I just love the Aqua Amigos series. I have a few more on order and can't wait for them to get here!

Wonder & Joy

This card has some of my favorite elements - TAC's "Wonder and Joy" stamp set, TAC's More Mimi cardstock and my favorite color combo, pink and brown!

Supplies: Wonder and Joy stamp set, greeting (retired), More Mimi Cardstock, brown and kraft cardstocks, Bazzill Red-Violet cardstock (retired), Copics, Nestabilities Label 1 die, Palette Noir ink, pink ribbon (Michaels), flower (Prima) and flat-backed pearl (Michaels). All supplies from TAC unless other wise noted.

TAC News

One of the reasons I decided to step down from the SSW team was to devote more time to my business as a demonstrator with The Angel Company (TAC). It's perfect timing as the new catalog is due to come out any day.

Sneak peeks have been popping up here and there, including this snippet from the company's TAC in Touch blog:

If you'd like to see a sample card made with set, check out Barb Foster's beautiful vintage Hope card.

Good-Bye!

This will be a bittersweet Sweet Sketch Wednesday for me! After being part of Arlana's wonderful SSW team for almost a year, I'm stepping down to pursue other crafting adventures. This will be my final posting as part of the SSW team, although I plan on stopping by and participating in their sketch challenges from time to time. Good-bye to Arlana and the rest of the SSW team. They are all very sweet ladies, indeed!

Now, on to this week's card! Our SSW sponsor this week is Shirley's 2 Girls. First up, the sketch:

For my card, I used the fun "Gracie".

I don't know why, but I pictured Gracie as a redhead, right from the start. She was a little too young to be a Red Hatter, so I made her into a Pink Hatter (a younger member of the Red Hatter club). She was a lot of fun to work with!

OK, you've seen the sketch and my sample card. Now, head on over to the Sweet Sketch Wednesday blog to check out the rest of the design team's cards. Play along with us and you have a chance at winning a great prize from Shirley's 2 Girls!
