Weekly Sketch Layout Challenge

I often times hit a creative block and will need a little inspiration.  Does that happen to you?  To mitigate that, some times I'll search Pinterest for ideas or I'll visit a Facebook Group called Stampin' Gals Gone Wild! where weekly the administrator +Connie Stewart  will post a sketch/layout for the members to interpret and post their cards based on the sketch.

I've decided to share my cards based on these and other sketches found across Pinterest.  I'll post a new sketch weekly on a Monday as well as my interpretation of the design.  If you'd like to join me, you can...here's how:

1. I'll create an Facebook event and a photo album in my Facebook Group page and you can join the event and share your photo uploads.

2. You can comment here and include a photo.

There are always rules...but these are pretty simple


  1. All entries must have at least one (1) Stampin' Up product (after all, I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator)
  2. Post must follow the sketch; choice of stamp, sentiment, ink etc is entirely up to you
  3. You must post at least once in each week to be eligible for the giveaway
  4. To be eligible, all entries must be posted no later than 10pm on the last night of the month.

If you've posted to the photo album in Facebook, you will be entered into a drawing at the end of the month for a giveaway.   I'm not sure what I'll giveaway, yet, but it will be something.

Ok, so the 1st sketch for the week of 26 December 2016 - 1 Jan 2017  Thank you +Connie Stewart 

And....are you ready?  Well here's what mine looks like...

I used:

Stampin' Up! Fairy Celebration stamp set
Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake and Tangerine Tango cardstock
Stampin' Up! Stamp n Write markers as well as Copic markers

Can't wait to see what you come up with!  

Happy Stampin'

Independent Demonstrators who enjoy paper crafting, creating cards, and other projects to share with each other and with you. If you've arrived from Karen's blog, welcome!  This time, the theme is to create a card or project based on a favorite technique.  There are sooooo many techniques that I love but with this project, I'm going to focus mainly on two.  Can you guess what one of them is? Yup, you guessed it...masking!  There're so many things you can do with this technique from: simple masking to creating seamless backgrounds and adding depth...hmmm, I think I've decided to do a blog series focusing on the different things you can do with masking. For this post, I chose to start with a simple spotlight masking technique. Let me show you how I created this card. Now I incorporated several other techniques (dry ...
