New Sketch for the Week!

My Mom called and asked me if I had any birthday cards "in stock". Luckily for her, I was working on this week's challenge and decided to turn it into a birthday card for her friend. I quickly switched colors. I was going for a brighter look- but my Mom is a muted, natural color lover! I put together the flowers out of a bunch of Primas that I had and then threw in some fabric ones. I really hope that her friend loves it. She's one of Mom's oldest friends from childhood, so I wanted it to be really special! Hope you enjoy it!!

This week's sketch-



And my take on it!



I really love flowers so I ended up following the sketch pretty closely this week! If you want to see the rest of the design teams work be sure and stop by http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/ and try this sketch out for yourself!! We'd love for you to link up with us!! And you might get one of those pretty badges like I have for the top three!

A challenge and an anniversary

Our anniversary is coming up on Friday, so I needed to be thinking about a card. I decided to use this week's sketch and kill 2 birds with one stone. Usually I'm the one that's waiting until the last minute to make a card for a special occasion. Not this time! I'm ahead of the game! Here's the sketch for the week-






And then here's the card that I made with it-




I love retro stuff and fell in love with this couple from the Silhouette store. I used some crystal Stickles to give the letters a little pop.
