Bringing you Sketch 34

Thank You so much to all who participated in our Sketch 33 - what an awesome experience that was - seeing new talents, new faces and breathtaking creations! A big thank you to Tracy too who took over while I am away from the computer last week.

We have another simple sketch with a bit of few layers for all you layer lovers! :)
This sketch could be interpreted in different ways. Hope you'll enjoy what we did.



Our Guest Designer this week may be a familiar face to many of you as it wasn't too long ago when we featured her as our Guest Designer for Sketch 30.


Just a wee bit information for those of you who are new to our family, once a week, 1 of our team picks her Super 6 and everyone vote for our fave cards. Whoever has the most vote wins. . As you can see, each of our team have our own style, therefore, different type of cards or style are being picked as well.

Oh well... let's get on to our Guest Designer....
Amy Heller
(Paush Design)


A little info about Amy
I've been happily married for nearly 10 years and have two wonderful kids
that are 6 and 3 years old. I have been a SAHM for the better part of 6
years and I am super excited to start "working" again. I have been a graphic
designer for 15 years and started my own business when my daughter was first
born almost 7 years ago. In 2004 we moved 3000 miles from our family and
friends for my husband's work had another child - long story short - the
business was put on the backburner. BUT during that time, I discovered
scrapbooking, and I've been hooked ever since! Now my youngest is off to
preschool - so it's time for me and I'm diving into blogging
and scrapping full force!! :)

And let me introduce you to this week's guest designer, the lovely



"My name is Elise, and I live on a smallish ranch in gorgeous Sonoma County, California. I spend my days wrangling two little kids {who aren't all that little anymore}, one over-sized kid {that'd be my husband}, 5 horses, 4 dogs, 2 cats, and one happy- but dusty- little home. I'm a rabid paper crafter who dreams in hues of ink, glitter, card stock, and the like! I've been completely transformed by the power and creative shared experience of the blog-o-sphere! I cherish the friends I've made here and the ones to come! I'm delighted and honored to be sharing this week's DT duties with the amazing talents of the Card Patterns crew. THANK YOU!"


Isn't Elise's card adorable? I just love that snowman!
