Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #9.

Hello again,
I visit Karen Giron's blog regularly. I LOVE her cards and have wanted to have a go at her "Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge" for a while. So this is my first attempt!!
And what a challenge it was!!! I don't have a circle cutting system, (I have been patiently waiting and hoping that the new SU! catalogue will have one in it....but alas.....they didn't include it) so with my choices being either trace around a piece of kitchenware or use my punches, I went with the punches.
This is what I came up with........

I wanted it to be something a bit different because the punches don't give you a very big circle so I needed something else to give the card a bit of wow!

I enjoyed making it so much that I whipped up a second one as a baby card as well.....

Anyway, I hope you like what I came up with. Sorry Karen that I had to put a bit of ribbon around the middle of the card so it's not exactly 100% true to your sketch challenge...but I needed to keep the cards closed somehow.
Thanks for visiting.

Casing Sarah J.K.....

Hello,
I am still playing around with my blog but I thought that while I am tinkering with it I should post something as well. This is almost a complete case of a card made by Sarah Klass. You can check out Sarah's card here.
I loved her card so much when I first saw it that when I needed to come up with cards for a recent workshop (with a children's theme) I knew that I would use this one!
It also gave me the opportunity to use some of the retiring papers and a retiring stamp set.
This layout is so easy and so versatile...hope you like it as much as me!
Thanks for visiting.
