Grand Prize shown above and this week's prize sponsored by Zutter shown below.

Here is the sketch that we are to work off from this week. I hope I get picked to move on to round two!For my card I used some Bazzill cardstock to make the Fuschia base for the card, then I used some Stampin UP Green Galore cardstock to do my scallop edge. I trimmed it with bling found at Target's $1 section. The patterned paper is by Glitz Design and it's called Audrey Floral don't you just love it! The Frame is also from Glitz Design it's a Sticker Cardstock which I simply applied to a transparency so I could pop it off the card. The stamp I used within the frame is by Stampin UP from the set Lexicon of Love. I hope you like it and if you have a chance create a card and play along! Wish me luck, I will keep you posted! Even if I don't get into round two I plan to play along and make a card for each of their challenges you should too! Thanks for stopping in!

A Card to End the Week

The sketch above is what I worked off of, as mentioned below I'm not sure if I had to use the circle but the birdcage is my take on it.

Just wanted to share a card I made late tonight to play along with a great blog I found recently. 2 Sketches 4 You and they are going to be celebrating a Year with an awesome giveaway! Click Here to find out more on that and to see the other folks playing along in this week's sketch. I wasn't sure if I had to use the circle shown in the layout but I decided to use the birdcage in it's place. I used a little Teresa Collins (polka dot paper) and a little House of 3 (birdcage). It only took me maybe 15mins as using their sketch helped me speed things along! Well, the hubby and I are heading to San Antonio TX for the weekend. We only live 4hrs away and so it makes for a nice getaway! Hope you all have a great three day weekend!
