This week's sketch on 2 Sketches 4 You was provided by Laura. Here is her sketch:
Here is what I came up with. I do not know who made the cute stripe paper. (If you do, please leave a comment so I can give proper credit)
The chipboard is from Love, Elsie. It is sooo hard to keep track of where the buttons and bling are from...sorry!
The stamp is from CTMH: Say it With Style

Design Team Wanna Be: Part Two
This is the 2nd card I submitted for the 2 Sketches 4 you design team call. I wish the 1st picture showed the true colors of the card. I have got to get better of taking those pictures. The second shot show the detail work.
Papers: CTMH baby pink, colonial white and sweet leaf cardstock. I also used CTMH ribbon and colonial white brads. Not sure where the mini safety pic came from...but I LOVE that detail :).
Stampsets: CTMH: Baby Steps and Card Commentary
You can check out the designers that did win over on the 2 Sketches 4 You BLOG.

Design Team Wanna Be: Part One
First and foremost I consider myself a scrapbooker. Recently , however I have tried to hone my skills in card making. I even challenged myself to try out for a design team. I knew that many FANTASTIC card makers were going to apply kind of took the pressure OFF. Check out the designer that did win at 2 Sketches 4 You.
It is a lesson I try to teach my kids. You may never be THE best, but if you do YOUR best...you should be proud. ( How sappy is that???)
So, here is card #1 I submitted to the 2 sketches 4 you design team. This one is my favorite of the two that I submitted.
Papers used: CTMH Silhouette, Crystal Blue Cardstock,
Love those BITTY brads that CTMH released last year!

Blank Card
I left this card blank for the time being. To me it is a sweet little card for a new baby or something along that line. I don't think you can see the detail on the white ribbon, so you should know that there are embossed flowers that add so much to this card.
I was inspired to start this card with a sketch found on 2 sketches for you. I did not follow the sketch completely...but it was my start.
Colors: CTMH White Daisy and Pattern paper from CTMH "Let's Get Together"
Yes, I used the lace punch again. I think I am in love with it :)

Chino Crop Swap July ( part 2)
Here is the other swap LO that I created for the Chino Crop Swap. I made 5 of them...and they all look the same. I followed a LO called "Safe and Secure" from my Imagine book ( page 78). I even used the same pattern paper shown in the sample LO. The best part of the whole LO is the little photo hanger details. I LOVE it :)

Geek is Chic
Yes...that is EXACTLY how thin I am. Yes, that is EXACTLY how well dressed I am. Yes, that is EXACTLY how.... Who am I kidding. I only wish I looked that good on my computer!
This is one of my new Bella stamps. She is called "Clickabella". I made another one of those folding cards using Life Delights paper from CTMH. I have a few more Bellas to play with and will share them with you as I get to them!

Chino Crop Swap July ( part 1)
I know I said that I was not going to participate in any swaps for a while, but I needed to ANGEL 2 spots in my Chino Crop Swap. I did not have a lot of time to get this done, so "cheated" a bit...
Remember when I was messing with a sketch in May? I had 2 LO's already done, so I completed 3 others to make my 5. Here are 2 that are different from the others. ( I made a 2nd Christmas one) I really like this sketch and think I will use it again in the future.
I will share what I did for the 2nd spot in a day or two.
