Thinking of You

Happy Wednesday fans and followers! Well, we're off to a good start in high school - we had our open house this week and met the teachers and got a download on the coursework. I just love the enthusiasm of my kids' teachers and passion for the subjects they're teaching. Now the second week, the homework is kicking in and keeping us all busy!

We're kicking off a new sketch challenge today at Sweet Sketch Wednesday with Pattie's Creations as our sponsor this week.  I hope you can find some time to join us and play along!

Here's the wonderful sketch created by Arlana. It's a blast from the past sketch - one of our favorites brought back from Week 103 - and it makes an interesting card whether you take a whimsical approach or something more vintage looking like I created this week.

Here's the card I created with this sketch in Week 103 - just showing how it looks with clean lines and a more whimsical image.

Pattie Gomez at Pattie's Creations is our generous sponsor this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  The Grand Prize winner of the challenge will receive three digis from Pattie's Creations. Check out Pattie's Etsy Store here and her blog here.  Thanks for your sponsorship Pattie!

I chose this gorgeous digi from Pattie's Creations called "Thinking of You".  There's nothing that conveys the warm, golden days of late summer/early fall better than sunflowers.  The image was colored with Copic markers, a little crystal effects added to parts of the butterfly so it would stand out more, a few Spellbinders die cuts and papers from MME Nutmeg collection were used.

Our design team has created some beautiful cards using this and other images from Pattie's Creations to inspire you.  Check them out over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and then join us in the challenge this week!

Thanks for stopping by!
