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 […]
