Happy Monday!
Since I have a pretty busy day planned today I got my card done right away - it came together pretty fast because I used the sketch challenge from the SCS Fan Club (you should check out the new benefits of becoming a Fan Club member! There are weekly challenge so we can all play along!!) As I said last week I love sketch challenges, it takes me way less time to make a card if the sketch is already done! :) Ok, so here's my creation! I got these 2 cute Memory Box stamps in my treats from hubby box and I think they are so cute!! Be watching for more Memory Box penguins to come! These cute little guys are also available in the Paper Pretties Corner Store.
So for this card I used some of my precious retired Cool Caribbean cardstock and paired it up with some cute papers I got from the Dollar Spot at Target! Now generally I am a paper snob (surprised?? hee hee!) but this paper is so cute and fun to play with! I even used Stickles on the little iceberg (I am trying to get over my dislike of Stickles - I just have a hard time waiting for them to dry!!! LOL!!). The cute little brads are also from the Dollar Spot and coordinate perfectly with the paper. I didn't veer from the sketch at all - I'm pretty much a "rules girl." But I may have to try it again and add some more personality to it!
Hope your Monday is off to a great start!! Thanks so much for all the emails of congratulations on winning a Papertrey Ink set Friday night - I was thrilled to say the least!! :) Can't wait for my new stamps to arrive. Also, congrats to a few of my great blogging buddies on being named to Nicole's list of Honorable Mentions- they were all such gorgeous creations!
