Do You Want to be a Guest Designer????

 MarieCP#1


 



 Well, here is my very first card for the new Design Team that I am a part of.  If you haven't checked out Card Patterns yet, you really should!  Michelle has put together some great sketches that I've had the privilege to see early, and I know that they will really inspire you in your card making.  It was a fun one to work with and my first card already gave me ideas of things I would like to do differently with the sketch.  If you make a card, be sure to let me know the link to it - I would LOVE to see it!!!

Also, as mentioned in the title, if you go and check out the post on Card Patterns HERE you can find out how to be a Guest Designer for Sketch #3!!!!  I am so excited for you to have this opportunity!

I REALLY wanted to use the flowers from Bloomin' Beautiful but I can't find my set anywhere!?!?!  I've never lost a stamp set before, so I'm going nuts trying to figure out where it is.  I can't stand it when something isn't where it's supposed to be and I can't find it.  I seriously don't stop thinking about it until I find it.  I didn't have any other images that really popped into my head to use for this card, so I settled on this one.  Iope you like it, and look for another card using this sketch in the near future as I know that I will use this sketch again!!
