Here’s my card: And here’s the sketch for…

A Magical Day for FabFri129

When I sat down to make today’s card for the FabFriday sketch challenge that launches today, I wasn’t prepared for how much I would love it. I don’t dabble in a lot of pinks and purples, so this card was a little out of my comfort zone. I knew there was something magical about the sweet unicorn in A Magical Day, so I started there, and the rest just fell into place. Here’s my card…

Cue the Confetti for CAS(E) This Sketch

I may need an intervention to keep me away from the amazing papers in the pack of Picture Perfect Party 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers.

Happy Wishes for GDP121

This week’s Global Design Project Color Challenge showcases three colors: Sweet Sugarplum, Bermuda Bay and Peekaboo Peach. That’s a tough combination, but I love all of the projects by the design team members. While I used all three of the colors in my project, I focused on Bermuda Bay and Peekaboo Peach.
