I know, don't fall over. But I'm posting!!! It feels good too. It seems whenever I have a little break from stamping the best way to get back into the swing of things is to turn to a challenge. And what a better one than a sketch! You all know how much I love my sketch challenges.
And this week Taylor has a fun one. Check it out.
Here's my take on it. I used a card I made awhile back for one of my own sketch challenges for my inspiration. Here is the card I'm talking about.
I wanted to play with my much neglected Cat's Pajama's stamps. All images are from the By the Sea set. I really love how this turned out. Pretty simple in terms of my paper. I only used one small piece of patterned paper from Imaginisce. I tried to add some Stickles to the focal image to make it also look like a port hole.
Taylor is mixing things up this week. She is having her readers vote for their favorite card. If you love my card as much as I do, I hope that you will vote for it. All you have to do is visit Taylor's blog this Friday, May 21st and vote for it! The top 3 cards will be honored Taylor's Top Crop!
Will you help me become a Top Crop?
Thanks for stopping by today friends!!!
Cute card Tracy! I've admired that set from afar, but haven't yet purchased :). I think the portholes are darling - love your use of stickles and border punch. You have my vote! Have a good week.
