InStyle Sketch Time



Virginia has us stepping into spring colors with Club Anime's sixth color challenge today. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to leave the pinks and reds on the shelf and bring out the spring colors. If you are too, come join us for some fun! I hear Virginia has a sneak peek of a new stamp line and you can see a couple at the Color Challenge post and Instyle Stamps Whimsical and Retro blog post.

I had so much fun with Marissa that I didn't want to stop! Fortunately for me, I always print out a second image just in case I need it for paper tole or a mistake, so it might be available to make another card! LOL

I've been inspired a lot by the works of Mercy Kerin and I finally case'd her style from the past few cards she has made. I used the Card Patterns Sketch for the week you can find it here. I'm probably going to join into Splitcoast's Ways to Use It Challenge which is to use Odds.

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
