Dawn Easton said...

Awesome samples girls! This was such a FUN sketch! Thanks Lynda, you rock!
Thanks to all the JB girls for their samples too!!!

Jillian said...

All amazing, incredibly detailed cards! Love how one simple sketch can launch so much creativity!! I have to know, though, truly - looking at these cards, detail after little detail, creative touch after creative touch...how long does it take any/all of you to make a card like that? I feel like I take a long time now, and my cards are nowhere near your league! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration!!

Stephanie said...

Wow awesome samples of the sketch.. Lynda I love this sketch.

Love all your cards - such detail. Sketch is a good one - not too fiddly and enough space for a decent image. This is a card I made using it http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1097304?cat=500&ppuser=132530. I think I will do some Christmas ones too.

Here is mine for this week: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1099080?cat=500&ppuser=156271.

I tweaked the sketch a little bit and then I really challenged myself. I essentially let my daughter pick the color scheme as the card is a thank you card for our daycare provider. I think that will be the last time I do that!

Thanks!
