Sketch 75

Happy Saturday friends! It's a gorgeous day here in New York. I hope you're getting some wonderful weather where you are.

The Sponsor:
This week we're sponsored by the amazing Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps! Here's a little more about them:"Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is a Christian digi stamp company offering a wide variety of hand drawn digital stamp designs and sentiments for the digital stamper or scrapbooker. We started out as a clear stamp company back in November 2007 and made the change over to all digital in February 2010. We have hundreds of fabulous digis to choose from starting at just $.99. Check us out at http://sweetnsassystamps.com."

The Prize:
This week, one lucky winner will win these three digis from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.The Sketch:
Here is the adorable sketch Michelle cooked up for you. Now's a great time to get out that decorative paper you've been saving- just look at all those wonderful layers!


The Guest Designer:
We're lucky to be joined this week by the talented Therese Broman. Here's a bit more about her:


"Hi! My name is Tesa and I live in a small village in Sweden with my hubby and nine year old son. I work full time and even though I love my job as a teacher and researcher in Economic History, it is serously inflicting on my hobby. I've been addicted to scrapbooking and card making for three years now and it has changed my life giving me a lot of new fabbie friends and a wonderful creative outlet. Making a card is the best way to relax after a tough day at work."

And here is her gorgeous take on the sketch:

Are you liking the images that the team used? We're so lucky to be sponsored by Some Odd Girl and the team had the privileged to use their super cute digital stamps!






Hi! Kristy owner/designer of Some Odd Girl Digital Stamps here! I am thrilled to be sponsoring Card Patterns!


Some Odd Girl is my baby freshly launched in January and we are proudly bringing some fun and quirky images that I hope you'll like! The idea to start Some Odd Girl was inspired by two great friends who are such dolls! They took one of my pencil drawings and made it into red rubber and that act of generosity spiraled into what you see today! I am a married FTWM of 2 who has a hubby who not only loves me but supports my crafting and my site as my IT guy. What more could a girl want? I am an artist born who started out with pencils then acrylics and now scrapbook and am a cardmaker. I do DT work for ScrapMuse, Gutter Girls, and Design Dollies but Some Odd Girl is my baby.

 Some Odd Girl is giving away 3 freebies
of the winners choice to our store
(a $9 value)

As a bonus, 2 of Some Odd Girl design team member is sharing their take on the sketch.

Good morning! So happy you could stop by and visit us again here at Card Patterns. I'm in the middle of showing off my gardens in our village garden walk, so let's get right down to business, shall we?

The Sponsor:We're lucky to be sponsored this week by the wonderful Lauretta's Digital Stamps. She has some absolutely adorable digital images in her shop (as well as some freebies!) so be sure to check them out. Every Monday Lauretta puts a free digital image up on her blog- all you have to do it stop by her blog to pick it up!

The Sketch:
I adore all the potential this sketch has, especially for using up scraps of decorative paper.


The Guest Designer:
We're joined this week by the amazingly talented LeAnne Pugliese. Here's a little bit more about LeAnne:

"I am a confessed stamp-a-holic, living in beautiful southeast Pennsylvania with my understanding hubby, awaiting the birth of my first granddaughter. I have stamped for many years, finding the creative outlet a perfect match with my love of sending encouraging cards to friends and family. I became a SU demonstrator about 8 years ago and have had a lot of fun blogging, meeting new friends, doing challenges and discovering all the fun excuses to stamp ! Thanks to the Card Patterns team for allowing me to share my work!"

And here's LeAnne's take on the sketch this week:
