Another card??? I can't stop myself!

Yepp, I'm back again today with another card! Not sure where this creativity is coming from but... I LIKE IT!!!

I have really began to look forward to the Taylored Expressions sketch challenges - the creativity just flows. I like to take their sketch and create a template based on their sketch. The whole process of creating the template gets me thinking about how I am going to use it.

I'm the type of person who needs to "think" about what I am going to create before I actually start. If I try to create without thinking it through, it usually turns out to be a disaster.

But anyway, here is the sketch from Taylored Expressions:


and here is my card based on the sketch:


I used Erica Zane's EZ Wishes digital kit - and those of you who have never tried printing and using digital papers and elements with your traditional stamp supplies really need to give it a try!



That's it for me for today - have some things to do so that I can go to our local Relay for Life. Last year, I bought my daughter a beautiful green bracelet with a silver bead with "Hope" on it. Hoping to score either a pink or blue one for myself - maybe with "Love" on it.

I am, after all, really a romantic at heart and totally believe in the theory of everyone having a soul mate. Sappy, I know. I can't help it. I'll let you know how it goes!

Happy Saturday everyone! It's a beautiful July summer day here in PA! Good thing because I have a family reunion to go today!

So, Thursday I hinted that there was something new coming to The Hybrid Chick - today (hopefully!) all will be revealed. So keep checking over there for the announcement....

I played along with Taylored Expressions sketch challenge #121. Here is their sketch:


The Sketch Crew over there came up with some really beautiful and unique cards based on the sketch. I went a more whimsical route.

Supplies: Happyland digital kit by Madame Wing, Staples double sided matte presentation paper, pop dots, Stampendous! glitter on the wings, Stampin' Up! Embosslits Beautiful wings die, hello stamp from SU! Hello again set, SU! Pixie Pink and Silver metallic inks

My supply of stamps are very limited as I am just starting out. I joined a monthly Stampin' Up! card club which met from last September until June of this year. It was a lot of fun and a great way to be introduced into stamping. I mostly stocked up on tools - punches, inks, sizzlits, etc. Now I wish I had purchased more stamps!!

This card is actually only the very second time I used one of my stamps and ink here at home. I was hesitant to break out the stamps and get them dirty. LOL

I can already see why stamping is addictive - you want more and more choices to use to create! And I'm with Sharyn - I need some Copic markers now!
