A Big Announcement!

Good morning! I trust everyone's weekend went well :) I'm posting with some big news: I am now designing for a new challenge blog, Paper Crafting Challenges! We bring a new challenge each and every Friday to get your creative juices flowing, and this week, it's a sketch challenge.

The sketch:

And my interpretation:

 I chose my Crafter's Companion Sentimentals Everyday - Imagine EZ Mount stamp set for this one -- the circular design lends itself well to the sketch. I felt the sketch needed to be turned, and used some pretty Authentique papers. Simple doodles added the perfect finishing touch!

So head on over to Paper Crafting Challenges and link up in our sketch challenge! Cards not your thing? Create an altered item with the theme "something sweet!" I can't wait to see what you create! Spread the word to your crafty friends about this new-blog-on-the-block, too! We'd appreciate it :) I am honored to be chosen for this team, and hope to inspire you each and every week!

Sneak Peek: Sheena's A Little Bit Magical

Alright, my fantasy-loving friends...I know you are going to love this new release from Crafter's Companion! Sheena has the most wonderful images, and this set does not disappoint! I turned to the Knowledge stamp set for this lovely card that will probably end up being a graduation card for my daughter when she moves on to high school next year (nothing like getting a jumpstart, right? LOL)

I used Authentique Free Bird papers and colored the books to match with my Spectrum Noir pens (CT1, CT2, CT4, BT2, BT3, BT4, BT5, EB1, EB2, BG4, BG6, BG8, TN2, TN3, TN4 and BG2 for the shading underneath.) All cardstock is adhered with the Extra Strong Permanent Tape Runner. A nice piece of twine completes the sentiment nicely, don't you think?

These stamps should be hitting the Crafter's Companion store on Friday 8/23, so mark your calendars! You need these stamps! Don't forget to follow our Facebook page and subscribe to our Twitter feed in order to see the wonderful creations from my fellow DT members using this soon-to-be-released Sheena range!
