Hi Beate: Thanks for another great sketch! I’ve been wanting to use my Eastern Blooms set for so long now but didn’t know quite where to begin with it - this sketch gave me a great starting point, thanks again

Yeah & welcome back! I hope you had a terrific time with your hubbie. We wish him all well. I get to play- how fun is that? For the record, I thought I followed the sketch pretty well- and now I’m not sure, but hey- that’s alright…the point is I tried! It’s a very simple card, but I like it! I’ll be using this as one of my Stamp Camp’s stamp-a-stack…

My card is kind of plain, but I loved the sketch.

Great sketch my dear friend !!! I posted my card both on SCS and on my blog: http://www.stampingwithroxy.typepad.com

Oooh! Lucky number 7! I love this sketch! I was trying to figure out what to do with all the long notes I have accumulated that are no longer in the SU catalog, so this sketch was PERFECT! Thanks, Beate!

Two for the price of one from me today :-). I thought the sketch flipped round was perfect for a stamp I’d promised to use for DH, and then I made another one without flipping it today. Thanks, Beate, for providing just the perfect sketch for the card I needed to make!

Hi there Beate,
Nice to have you back. I always enjoy your sketches.
Here is my entry for the week.
http://www.stampndaly.com/?p=862

I did two basically the same card but I changed the paper up a little and the verbage is different.
Here they are:

Love this sketch because I have a hard time with long cards like this. It made me stretch of my comfort zone!

Thanks for the challenge! Mine turned out quite different than I intended, but it was still a challenge for me to fit stamping in this weekend, not to mention getting it posted, so I’m OK with it! Sorry the photo is so blurry.

This is my first challenge EVER! After watching for months, decided to take the plunge! It was FUN - didn’t hurt a bit!! Thank you for the challenge! Plan to enter more… (~:
