A dear friend made some paper for me last week! She used paper from her shredder and I think it's marvelous! Little flecks of green and gorgeous texture. I used half of one piece for this card and several scraps of card stock trimmed with specialty scissors. The Simon Says Stamp sentiment die has been in my stash for many years - I love the bold font.
I hope you will play along. Link up your creation at AHSC

I see daffodils popping up in my yard! I have done the first lawn mow of the season and still lots of weeding and digging up to do. The change of season brings a new energy.
My card for #620 at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge uses an older CTMH stamp colored with alcohol markers and fussy cut twice. I rotated the sketch and made the rectangle element a flower box.
Here's my Design Team card for sketch #665 at
The back panel was created using Gina K Design inks with Pretty Pink Posh's Easter Background stencil. The image and sentiment are Simon Says Stamp Hoppy Days Ahead set (their March 2022 kit).

I had fun foiling for this card! Using Gina K Designs Delicate Dahlias polyglaze and dies for the florals and sentiment; did some stenciling with Light and Medium Lilac inks. The patterned paper is from a long retired CTMH pack and fit the sketch just right. I used Master Layouts 2 to cut the stitched panel and mat. I discovered that it's hard to take photos of cards with foiling :-( So much nicer in real life.
We would love to see what you create with this week's sketch. Hope to see you at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
Loved this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and glad I finally found some time to use it this morning.
I inked Altenew's Mega Bloom stencil with their Lapis Lazuli set of inks. Then without removing the stencil I stamped SSS You Matter background with white pigment ink, and added some dots with a gel pen. The dots gave me an idea to die cut with Altenew's Mix and Match Frames. The sentiment was white heat embossed their Iceland Poppies Paint-A-Flower set, and I used ink to color the paper strip to match.
I used a piece of a stencil background from my collection box, part of a Savvy die for the sentiment, and lots floral elements cut from scraps with Spellbinder's Be Bold Blooms for a very colorful take on the sketch.
Double Trouble, TSOT's sister challenge blog, has a marvelous 3-2-1 recipe that I have also used for inspiration. Hope you will check both out and join us in some crafty fun.
