Weekend Sketch challenge #21

This week I don’t have a sketch, but a tutorial for a library card. Check the previous post for the tutorial.

Again the prize is a one sheet each of the retired Litte Reminder sticker sheets, as well as one 6″ x 6″ sheet of each of the matching Notations designer paper .To participate in the challenge, make a library card and upload it either to your blog, or to an online gallery.

If you upload your card on SCS, put WSC21 (NO SPACE INBETWEEN WSC AND 21)in the keyword section. That way we can look at all of them at once!

To see samples made with this sketch now, check out the blogs of

Charmaine Ikach

Laurie Schmidlin

Lori Craig and

Sharon Harnist

Have fun creating! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

SCS submissions

Post a link to your card to THIS blog entry as a comment. Please add your entry# to it.

I will determine the winner of the goodies with Random.org on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.

I hope I can do this over the weekend… it looks like fun to make.

Juanita Says: September 28th, 2007 at 10:43 am

This looks like fun. Would you tell me what the finished measurements are,,,is it an A2, my concern is what size envelope
I need because it looks larger? TFS.

Hi Beate! Just had to try this, but I messed up somewhere along the way. I can’t follow instructions, I guess.

Lydia Says: September 30th, 2007 at 3:52 pm

Wow - I really had to hold my head at just the right angle to figure out how to cut the tabs and I’m pretty sure I still got it wrong! But I tried, and it’s blue, so I hope it’s okay. What a cute bunch of card samples you have posted. Thanks for the inspiration. PS - how stinking cute are the boys??? Love your scrapbook page.

Oh this was fun! I really like this style — and I think it was easier than criss cross, but similar look. I kind of fudged the tabs — but think it turned out ok. Heather
