Good Saturday to each & everyone of you. We hope life is treating you well and if not, just hang in there.
As usual, we have a new sketch up for you this week. Feel free to rotate it and transform it in any way you want to make it yours as long as it's similar! ;)
We're sponsored this week by:
Yes...Sparkle is her real name. She has been crafting since she was a child, but seriously started crafting when she was 16. Sparkle started as a scrapbooker, though over the years she has turned into a cardmaker. Brent (Sparkle's husband) and Sparkle opened SparkleCreations Rubber Stamps in July 2010, and they are selling cute and whimsical rubber stamps of little boy and girl images. Aki, their wonderful artist, has done a great job at making their characters come alive and have their own personalities.
One lucky random participant this week will win the following TWO stamps from Sparkle Creations:
Hi everyone - I'm Leann, a mom of two who lives by the seaside in the UK. I've crafted for as long as I can remember - I was always the child with glitter in her hair and buttons in her pocket, nowadays I'm the grown-up with glitter in her hair and pockets full of buttons! A big thank you to the Card Patterns team for inviting me along to be their guest this week - it's been an honour!
And here is Leann's adorable take on this week's sketch:

ReplyDeleteI don't know what I'm doing wrong on selecting Blogger and the image I want to show not appearing. This is the second time, but it did finally show up a day later.

ReplyDeleteThanks for another great sketch challenge!
I'm having trouble linking up my card...I did all the link items the other day, but it didn't show up so I thought I'd give it a couple of days, well I went to try it again today, but it says that my link already exists...although it does not show up on the link thumbnails...am I doing something wrong?
ReplyDeleteHi, here is the link to my card which says that it is already a part of the links, here on the cardpatterns blog, but it does not show up as one :(
