We have a new challenge at Sketch Saturday. It is also the 1st Saturday in the month, so that means the challenge is hosted by a DT member...it is Alex's week.
Alex organized a fabulous sponsor this week:
Our prize this week is a $5 Sassy Cheryl gift coupon.
Alex also created the sketch for this week. Here is Sketch #266:
We were given an Sassy Cheryl image to work with too. I chose Quiet Inspiration. Isn't she the sweetest. She looks just like my friends little girl, so this will be her birthday card this year. I found the most perfect patterned paper - My Mind's Eye "Sweet Girl".

I made a second card using the sketch, a baby card for a couple
at church. I used a variety of products on this one. One of the best
things about this design team - using all the things that have been
sitting around awhile.
It is kind of a fussy card...only took me a couple days to make it - LOL. I kept changing directions with it. The image is a Nina B set "Sending you Sunshine" available at The Crafts Meow.
I ended up stamping the image on some A|Muse cloud paper. I used 2 A|Muse dies, the grass and pinking border. I have 3 layers of grass. I colored, cut and pieced all the colored elements.
The stripe paper and paper used for the grass is MRO Mia's Cottage - a paper I've been hoarding. I cut what I thought was my last full sheet of the stripe paper to make this card. Believe me I paused a moment before I did it...but cut it. Then last weekend, while cleaning the craftroom {which is a bedroom} so guests could stay, I discovered 25 full unopened packs of Mia's Cottage. I guess there is no reason not to use the paper now! The things you find when you clean - LOL!
