Sketch 69

Hope you're all having a great Saturday!
If you love the quilted look, this new fun sketch is for you! If you want to use tons of scrap papers, then you might want to try this one too! Hope you'll like it!






Are we just lucky or what to have 2 Guest Designers this week! We're overflowing with inspiration!
First, let's welcome:



Getting to know Karen:
My name is Karen  and I am lucky to spend most of my time at our Wisconsin lake house creating my cards.  I have been married to a wonderful man (and my biggest fan) for 9 years now. On our wedding anniversary/my birthday (yep, we married on my birthday) in April, he took me to Gina K’s store 90 miles away for an awesome shopping spree, and a wonderful dinner afterwards! I am so blessed to be his wife!

My husband has two sons and I have a son, daughter and granddaughter (18)- who are all adults now. Our family now includes our 2 Abyssinian cats.

I have been retired since 2002, after 23 years as a dental assistant followed by 10 years in sales, which allows me lots of  “inky” time.  I have been making cards for about 4 years now.  Although I don’t have any particular style for my card creations,  I do like many techniques and always love to learn new ones. The Card Patterns are such an inspiration to me.

Thank you for choosing  me to co-guest design with Toby this week. I will appreciate any comments!


Our next featured designer is




Getting to know Tory: 
Hello everybody! My name is Viktoriya, or simply Tory. I live in the Orel, Russia. I am a happy woman, because I have a wonderful son of two years, loving husband, and also a favourite hobby.  I began to be engaged in card making  couple of months back,  therefore it was surprise for me to be chosen in supper six, and then a guest designer! It is honour for me. Thank you!

You can both visit their blogs & leave them some love by clicking on their names above their photo.

  22. I love the sketches I've been seeing. Having a wonderful time creating new and different cards.

    I didn't see a limit on submissions. Me, I sometimes only have one chance to try a sketch, but wondered if there were a limit on the number of submissions per sketch.
