I've just finished this weeks sketch challenge from 2 Sketches 4 You(layout for the challenge above). I don't make too many square cards so I had a ton of fun doing this card, especially with my sock monkey set. I used stamps from five sets, some old some new and some cheap dollar store stamps. The card is quite busy, though I think it turned out just fine. I hope you all like, enjoy!

Today I found out from some kind comments on my blog that my card was chosen as one of the Fab Five cards this week. Congrats to Kristen, for her card was picked card of the week. Thanks to Laura (awesome sketch by the way) and Kazan for picking my card. This is so awesome, Fab Five, I like it it sounds like a super hero group. I know I'll be Captain Crafter defender of paper crafters (ouch my head is swelling, hehehehe), oh wait I am Captain Crafter (LOL). I'll definatly do more sketch challenges at 2Sketches4You.

I'm quite impressed with the sketches from 2 Sketches 4 You, they're very uniquely drawn which adds a hip style to the blog. This is the second time I've participated in their challenge and I'm glad I did, it's a lot of fun. Also, this is the first time I've used rub-ons, which was a real life altering experience. Yeah, right!!! I guess there's a first for everything. If you have a chance take a look at 2 Sketches 4 You.

I was having a hard time creating this card the other day, because I was trying to do something new. Well I think I came up with something new or at least I've never seen a layout like this before. Take a close look where the two coloured pieces of card meet in the middle. I used my new scalloped edge punch from SU then I put the scalloped edges together which made diamond shapes where they met. I really like this look and I know I'll use it again because it something different. Give it a try and let me know what you think of this technique.

My friend Carrie the Artistic Avenger has started a new blog, 3-D Design Challenge with her friend Pamela. What's great about this site is that all the challenges are three dimensional. Every week there will be something different to do, to challenge your crafting skills. This weeks challenge is the 2-4-6-8 box, head on over and give it a try.
