GSG - Challenge card

As promised here is my card for this week's 'Great Swap Girls' challenge. This week's challenge is a sketch challenge. As I told you yesterday I haven't done a sketch challenge for awhile and I felt like I was going though withdrawls.

This sketch was super easy and fun. I pulled out my scrap trash to complete this card. The flower has been sitting in my stash for awhile and was just screaming out for me to use! I really like the color combination that came together for this card, bright & cheery!

The next two sketch challenges on the list are the 'Our Creative Corner' and 'A sketch for you to try' Hope to have a sample done for tomorrow's post.

Mojo Monday #45

It's Wednesday already! Hope your day is going well! Yesterday I was blog surfing when I came across a bunch of sketch challenges that I like to do, now you know it's been awhile since I've done a sketch challenge and I felt that I was going though withdrawals. I decided to print out the sketches so I could do a few of them, well I got two of them done last night, wooohooo!

I made this card using Julee's Mojo Monday #45 Sketch. I did make a slight change to the sketch, I moved my sentiment down and added ribbon where the sentiment was suppose to be.

Thanks for stopping by! I will share my 'Great Swap Girls' sketch challenge tomorrow.

GSG2 Swaps

Happy Tuesday to everyone! I hope your day is going good!

These three cards are the last of 14 cards I received in the first 'Great Swap Girls2' swap.

This first card was designed by Monique Van Keuren. I love the color combination she used to create this fun card.

Trudi Adams-Shaffer created this flowery card. I love all the texture Trudi used in this card.

This beauty was created by Sarah Green. The photo doesn't show that the butterfly is 3d, actually I didn't realize it was 3d until just now, I wish I did before I took the picture! I love the soft look of this color combination and the layout.
