Sketch 97

Hello, stamping friends. We hope you had a great holiday break and ready to tackle life's adventures in the new year. We have lots planned for Card Patterns this year and we're glad you're coming along for the ride! It wouldn't be much fun without you and your weekly card inspirations. Thank you for making 2010 a great year for Card Patterns. Let's make 2011 even better!

Today's post is special because we are featuring the cards made by our new Design Team members for the first time on the blog. I know you will not be disappointed. First...


Hi! I’m Tiffany, owner of Tiffany Doodles. My background is web design, graphic design & photography. I have been self employed for nine years and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my work! Since childhood, I’ve always been creative and taken great pleasure in drawing and painting. In 2009, I discovered the stamping and paper crafting world and just fell in love!! In a very short order, I began transforming some of my drawings and doodles into “digis”. It has truly been a joy to share them with folks. I get so thrilled every time I see something new that someone has created with one of my stamps!! Each design is like a child of mine and it’s really neat to see it all grown up and out in the world being all it can be…LOL!

All of my digital stamps are originally created by me and of the multiple styles I offer, most are hand-drawn images. Some are brushed up in Photoshop using the pen tool to produce very clean lines and others are left with a sketchy, rustic, hand-drawn look. An additional digi-style is one that I’ve dubbed as PhotoSketches and these are images from my photographs which I transformed into sketches with a little help from Photoshop. These beauties make splendid realistic images for stamping!

One of the ways that I wish to say “thank you” to all of the folks that follow TiffanyDoodles is by offering a brand new Freebie every Thursday. I’ve received a hefty response from this, which has encouraged me to continue creating even more!! I hope you find something you like here!

The winner of this week's sketch will get five (5) digis of his/her choice from the Tiffany Doodles digi store.


Hi, my name is Annika and I'm a colouring addict.
I am co-owned by
1) one long-suffering husband
2) two moderately crazy kiddos (girl 2 years old and boy 4 years old)
3) one absolutely barking mad mutt called Vicar.

There's really not that much to write about me - I live in Ireland (but I'm not Irish), I used to work but am SAHM at the moment, I spend way too much on craft supplies and on my best days I do make a conscious effort to wear something else except oversized sweater and yoga pants. If the occasion so demands I can even squeeze myself into dress and apply some lip gloss. Hey, I'm glamorous like that!

And let's look at Annika's adorable card. Those cute puppies were beautifully colored. We love all the little details. Check out her blog, Another Messy Crafter, for more of her lovely cards.

Here's the DT's take on the sketch, using Tiffany Doodles images:
