Hello my name is Karen aka Soccerboyzmom.  I am so excited to part of the team as a Card Designer.
In case you don't know I have been scrapping seriously for about 12 years to catch up on my boys lives, sports, and places we have gone.  When I don't scrap them I do the entire family or my 2 beagles (who have become great subjects to photo). 
I make cards and altered gifts for my friends, so making cards for MSW is right down my alley. 

Here is the April 15th sketch from My Sketch World (link: http://www.mysketchworld.com )

Here is my example using the sketch:

I used Jillibean Soup Paper, flowers are Maya Road, letters are October Afternoon and the banners are cut out using the dies from My Favorite Things.  Of course I am using the fabulous sketch that Lucy drew for us to use.

Thanks for being here and now its time to head to Scarlett Salamone blog and check out her creation.

I would love for you to become a follower and see what I do.

My Favorite Sketch of the Weekend.

This weekend I got to go scrapping and did several pages from the birthday sketches that Lucy put on My Sketch World.  Some were easy and some were challenging.  Usually when I work I can do 3-4 in one month.  This month I have completed 8 pages with her sketch help.

So here is my favorite sketch:

I liked it because it had so many elements and I could use a variety of items to embellish the page.

This is what I came up with:

Let's see if I can tell you what I used for this:  Green Bazzil Cardstock, My Mind's Eye, Vanilla Bazzil Cardstock, Buttons, Twine, used a scalloped punch, some cardboard, some burlap, and thickers.

I had so much fun working on this with a picture I took of Fremont St. in Las Vegas.

Winner, winner not of a Chicken Dinner

Hello to everyone in blogland.  I realized it was the 13th and had something to give away so I had better draw and get this mailed off.
So without further ado Here is what Random.Org says.

I can't copy and paste it so you will have to trust me.  There were 28 comments (took repeat out) and the number that came up was 26 -- that is GinniC.

Congrats Ginni !!!!!

The French Birthday Card for the Reveal at My Sketch World

Well today is the 15th so that means a reveal from MY SKETCH WORLD.  Once again I had fun with this sketch and use the color combinatin of a beige and black.  I used Graphic 45 which is usually a challenging line to work with.  I wanted to make a birthday card for our French Teacher and I think I nailed it.

Here is the sketch:



and this is my take on it:

 Let me know what you think of it.

October's Card for My Sketch World

Hi everyone in Blog Land,
I created a card using a sketch from My Sketch World and it was totally out of my box, but I jumped in and took the challenge and made it into a Halloween card and I think it might be my favorite one.

Here is the sketch that Lucy did:

Remember the challenge is circles and the card, but this is what I came up with.

I added a different shape that I cut from my Stampin'Up die, orange and black construction paper, prima flowers, glittered pumpkin from stash, elastic ruffled white ribbon and I made the circle using Doodlebug Halloween Twine.  The card was a vintage Halloween Clip Art.

My First Sketch at My Sketch World

Today was the first day of my reveal for My Sketch World.  I had fun using the sketch to make another Back To School card for my friend.  I used Fancy Pants line and chipboard to match.  I loved the sketch and it worked perfectly with what I could do.
Here is the sketch:

and here was my take on the card.  I hope you enjoy.

Come on over to play and gain some creativity.
