Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 126

I've been telling myself that I need to spend more time relaxing at my stamp table, before the craziness of the school year starts up again!  So, today I spend some time working on my entry for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge by Karen Giron.  Here is the sketch:

I also got to have some fun with my Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit for June 2011.  Here is my take on this week's sketch:

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 107

This is my first ever entry in a blog contest.  I made this card this afternoon using the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 107.  I am in love with the Friendship Blooms set from Taylored Expressions. I used the set and the coordinating flower dies.  I also used some self-adhesive rhinestones and an orange glittery 3-D sticker from my stash to make the flowers pop.  This card was pretty easy to make, after remembering that I had a SU square punch that would make perfectly sized squares.  Enjoy!

My Very First Blog Entry!

Hello! I have been wanting to create a blog for about two years but finally got up the courage to do it. I have spent so much time visiting other terrific stampers' sites and have gleaned tons of ideas for my own cards over the years. Even though my talent is not as developed as I would like, I am going to post cards and maybe someone out there will give me some feedback. : ) Anyway, enjoy!!

This is a card that I recently made using the Friendship Blooms stamps and coordinating dies from Taylored Expressions.
