Earlier this month I got lots of feedback about how much you love my card sketch idea. This is where I use scrap card to turn layout drawings into a more tangible resource. One of the biggest sketch hang-ups for me was visualising how the tiny diagram could work in real life. So now I have my sketch sample library I decided to start a new series called Saturday Sketches. I hope you’ll follow along as I take one of these layouts and use it to create an actual project.

Love My New Sketch Samples
Delightful Daffodils
At the beginning of the year I decided to make a conscious effort to do more scrapbooking. After all I have pretty much everything I need.

So for today’s Christmas card project I decided to fall back on a ... VIEW POST
Love and Sympathy
Have you seen the Unbounded Love Stamp Set and coordinating dies? The stamp set contains 25 sentiments covering a whole host of occasions that can be used on the outside or inside of cards.

But for me the best part of the dies are that they can be layered to create even more options. So for today’s sympathy card I simply added some patterned paper as a ... VIEW POST
