A New Card Sketch

Firstly, there is a new card sketch up over at the LCOM Sketch Blog and it is one of mine.  You should head on over there to see what the card team has come up with.  There are some beautiful cards.  I was going for more of an Asian feel for myself.  Graphic45 has these great new stamps as part of their Bird Song collection that I had to use.  I love the fans and I just couldn't see using anything else on this card.

Materials used:  Bazzill cardstock, Basic Grey doily, Best Creations pattern paper, Graphic45 stamps, Tim Holtz dies, miscellaneous black embossing powder, Copic markers, Archival ink and Sharpie marker.

I haven't been doing much creatively lately so it is nice to get back into the groove.  August proved to be quite a busy month with traveling, my daughter's birthday, and getting the kiddos ready for school.  I had every intention on completing Tim Holtz's August tag but I am afraid that it fell by the wayside.  I am hoping to get back to them this month, maybe even today.

I am taking a "me" day from work today.  I have been working on some layout sketches and enjoying the quiet in my house. Tonight the kiddos and my husband are taking me out to celebrate my 45 years.  Crazy to think that 45 years have already gone by.  I still think and feel like I am only 18.  It is so true that you are only as old as you feel.

Have a fabulous Wednesday.
