Killing Two Birds...

When I saw the following challenge over at Colorful Creations I just knew I wanted to participate...we were to use the a tutorial from the Webster's Pages blog to create our layout. My next step was to find the perfect sketch and photo(s).  So when I was visiting my friend Brenda's blog GrandDiva's Creative Corner and saw the beautiful sketch challenge she was running, I knew that I needed to combine both challenges to create my layout.  So as they say, I guess I "killed two birds with one stone"  And here is what I came up with:

Thanks for looking!

Cards for Leap Around the World

Only a few days left for Let's Scrap's Leap Around the World blog hop! Have you been participating?  I've only been able to find the time to make a total of five...but we have five days left so maybe I will be able to make some more.  Here are the last two that I made:

Above is a Valentine I made for my parents using the sketch from Stop #30 (Carolina Garrido's blog)

And using the sketch from Stop #26 (Tenny Kusuma's blog), I made a birthday card for a friend whose favorite color is purple!

Well, that's all for now, but hopefully over the next couple of days I will be able to take advantage of all the great card sketches on the blog hop, to get some more cards made. I hope you will have the time to do the same!

Make sure you head over to the Colorful Creations blog to see the sketch and further details for uploading your entry.

Surprise!

I don't know about you, but I love surprises! My best birthdays have been when my husband has thrown me surprise parties...and I never snoop into my Christmas gifts because I want to be surprised when I open them.  So I love that Let's Get Sketchy! has decided to surprise all of its members with an impromptu sketch before its grand opening on March 1st.  Here's my interpretation of the sketch...
