Celebrate Today with Critter Sketch Challenge

This week at Critter Sketch Challenge Blog we were given a wonderful sketch from Kelly Haberstroh and I enjoyed working with all the layers and this card probably has the most brads I've used in a LONG time.  My friend Rose Kerry would be so proud to see me using all these brads up.

I used another image by our sponsor of the month, Softpencil.  This was one of their freebie images on their Softpencil group, Happy Heart Bear.  I tried to use some scraps out of my ever growing scrap pile for this card.

This month I've been a bit scatterbrained and therefore didn't write down any of the supplies I used for this card.  If you need any specifics, please let me know and I'll try to jog my memory...I need to get better about writing down the supplies and putting it on a sticky in my card.

I can't wait to see how the other girls utilized this sketch, make sure to stop by and leave them some love:

Happy Sailors: Critter Sketch Challenge #18

I'm very excited that this week is my first official post as a new member of Critter Sketch Challenge Blog!  I did a stint as a guest designer last month and put my name in the hat for the Design Team this time around.  I was thrilled that Melanie asked me and have had a great time getting to know the girls.

This week Melanie gave us a sketch to work with-and an added challenge to use ribbon somewhere on the card.  I loved this sketch (I did rotate mine) and so I picked this cute image from Softpencil digital designs, who is our sponsor this month, to work with.  I really love cute little images like this and they were fun to color!  The stamp seemed like it was just meant for this sketch and I kept it really simple.

Make sure to check out the other Design Team members creations this week to see how they used this sketch on their creations, I can't wait to see what they did!
