Sketch + Valentines at Friendship's Garden

We have a new challenge for you over at Friendships' Garden this week-- it's almost February and Valentines is coming up so we'd like you to make a VALENTINE THEMED card based on this sketch:
Isn't this a great simple sketch? Feel free to twist and turn it as you like, just as long as we can see the sketch in there somewhere. Be sure to check out all the DT creations by clicking here -- there are some awesome cards that will be sure to inspire you! And here is my creation:


I really had fun with this card, even though I am not a big fan of Valentines' Day (thus the turquoise and brown instead of pink!) You can find this free vintage image and others by clicking here . Our challenge runs until midnight Sunday Feb. 5th so visit the Friendship's Garden Challenge blog to link your card for a chance to win a $10.00 Gift Certificate from our sponsor Altered Angel.

I am also entering my card in the following challenges:
Polka Doodles-- Vintage/Retro
Ruby's Rainbow-- Love
Dutch Dare-- Buttons Galore
Crafty Creations-- Valentines
Wags & Whiskers-- Valentines/Love
Poodles Parlour-- Valentine/Love



Thanks for looking!

Time for Making Cards

I love January! There is actually time for some crafting after the craziness of the Christmas holidays! And thus I actually had time for making a few cards this week with this awesome paper collection from Authentique.





I am entering the above card in the following challenges:

Crop Stop-- Distressed, Vintage or Shabby Chic
Do You Stack Up-- Patterned Paper
Papertake Weekly-- Buttons, Bows, Blings and Blooms

And here is a couple more cards made with the same paper line:
