Thx :: 2 Sketches 4 You

It was a wonderful weekend, though I did not do any crafting.

There are a couple of things I want to work on this week:

• Card Positioning Systems (CPS) sketch; didn't get to last week's sketch
  
• A mini book per instructions on the Hero Arts blog
• A set of new home/new address cards for a friend who just relocated to Seattle

But for my first card of the week, it's a 2 Sketches 4 You sketch. For this card, I pulled out lots of oldies: the chipboard w/THX is something I made eons ago and never used; the flower I pulled from a fake flower bouquet; the ribbon is American Crafts that I finally broke open; the dark patterned paper is from K&Co, but it was a card that I just cut in half to use for this card and the pink lace I purchased @ Walmart over a year ago. I like the card for that reason - using up stuff that I have but rarely use.

Interestingly, I did not distress or sew on this card, but ooooh, did I want to!

Thanks for looking ... here's what I used:
cardstock and flowers: craft supply
patterned paper: K&Co. and Creative Imaginations
chipboard and button: Bazzill
ribbon: American Crafts
rubons (THX): Making Memories
other: Modge Podge

Goin Down That Road ...

I am soooo in love w/the new Maya Road products! It has more cuteness than a newborn baby.


I, like many other crafters, have been on a chipboard craze. In particular for me, chipboard mini books. Maya Road's got the books in lots and lots and lots of different shapes - crowns, birds, scalloped edges and oh, yes, circles and squares too.


And there is ribbon and rubons to boot. Again, I am on a shopping hiatus, but please do not let the Maya Road newbies register on my radar ...
