Happy Saturday!! My favorite day of the week by far.
I hope you have some stamping time planned this week. As you know it is Sketch Time! I am really happy with this weeks challenge! I know I had a blast with it.
Sorry for my “sketch”. Im not good at making a scallop border-yet! YIKES!
Again the sketch is to get you STAMPING! Go with whatever inspires you-OK!
Keyword mytimess06-send us a link here if you decide to give it a try so we can all see your take on the challenge! It is definitely fun for me to see what people do with it.
Now I will share my take on it.
I LOVE using circles-LOVE! No idea why, but they are my favorite things to add to a card. So this was a fun sketch for me personally 😀
Pretty Poppies-POP!
I decided to make my entire card a scallop. Im loving Vintage Cream, Kraft, spring moss, and dark chocolate-YUM!! I chose those colors with the inks to match for this creation. I used Lisa’s set Remember. I just love the open, and solid images paired together. I can’t NOT use them.
I saw this circle layer as a window, not an “layer”. I want you to use it in a way YOU see it though. Doesn’t have to be like mine OK!
For this card I stamped my flowers on the cream base first. Mounted that layer onto a scallop square card base in Kraft cardstock. I then cut my spring moss square, and layered it onto the chocolate. Took my circle nestablity, and die cut the center. Layered it over my card base with dimensionals, and I then had a nice “window” effect 😀
You know I LOVE my Martha Stewart butterfly punch, so I HAD to use that too, making a vellumbutterfly:D Just perfect isn’t it? I love dimension. For more interest I added a tasb tag, and tied on some satin chocolate ribbon.
This inside is left blank, until I know what I need it for. This looks like a great ANY occasion card, so its nice to keep those around for when you need a quick card, but have no time.
Granted I SAY this, but I never do it! I always have to MAKE a new one. Its a weird hang up I have. At least I use my stamps though right?!
Well Enjoy the sketch! I cannot even wait to see what you do! In the meantime, check out my Sketch Team’s take on the sketch! Oh and show some love 😀 They work hard every weekend to get their version done for you for more inspiring ideas 😀
I have more to share tomorrow-so see you then!

I am so glad to know that there are other people who make cards that they can’t seem to part with. I think I create each card with someone or something in mind or to just have on hand “in case”. Yep, “in case” never happens, I always have to create another one.
LOVE this card Lauren!! Fab Job!
This one is gorgeous Lauren! Let me play in PSP to figure out that scallop thing 😉 I’ll let you know when I figure it out…lol
Love both of your cards, Lauren! I’m definitely inspired to play after the long two weeks I’ve had :O) Hopefully I’ll have a post later to share my take on your sketch. Thank you as always, for the inspiration!

Hi Lauren! I used your sketch to make a card to send to the staff at Manor Park, where my grandmother, an Alzheimer patient, resides.
[…] have to say I was inspired by my own card last week. Not just the sketch, but the colors and stamp set. So I wasn’t going to limit my creativity […]
This was a fun sketch Lauren! Thanks for the inspiration. Here’s my card.
[…] I made the following card which I am sending to the staff at Manor Park. I used Lauren’s mytimess06 […]
