Last 2S4Y Sketch/The Shabby Tea Room

Another one of my favorite sketch sites is saying farewell. 2 Sketches 4 You has been a source of wonderful inspiration in the past couple of years and they will be missed.

My card today is based on Kazan's last sketch. I'm also playing along with the Shabby Tea Room where this week's challenge is White and Bright, to use white or cream and only one other color.

The embossing folders are from Cuttlebug, punch out die cut tags are from Pink Paislee. I'm also playing along with Create: Blog where the challenge this week is to use butterflies on your card. The butterfly on my card is a die cut from Sizzlits.

**Woohooo...my card was featured on the Create: blog today.**

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy Day

Today I'm playing along with a new challenge blog, The Shabby Tea Room. Not sure why I haven't come across this site before, but I'm so glad I did today. So much wonderful inspiration. And while the name of the blog is shabby, the challenge cards don't need to be. This week is a sketch challenge. Here's the sketch:

And here is my take on it. Funny, but this is not the card I set out to make today. I had all kind of shabby, lacy visions, but it was not to be...

The background paper is from We R Memory Keepers, I embossed it with Swiss Dots embossing folder from Cuttlebug. The other patterned paper is from Melissa Frances, the recent Christmas line. The sticker letters are from Making Memories, ribbon is from Offray. The dress is cut out from a Crafty Secrets Girlfriend Journaling Notes. If you click on the home page at Crafty Secrets, there are a ton of free downloads for personal use. I love the 2011 calendar. The sticker letters are from Making Memories, ribbon is from Offray.

We've had a whole bunch of snow today...makes for not such a 'happy day'...

Hope you have a great evening.
