Hello Friends!Are you a person that just LOVES your images RIGHT in the CENTER of your card?? Well, this week's sketch may help you break out of your comfort zone just a little bit, but certainly keeps it simple!
This week we have a scrap booking example from our operator Tiffany. If you like to scrapbook, why not take this and try a scrapbook page of your own?
Also ~ don't be afraid to take creative license and turn the sketch on it's side, upside down, backwards... Whatever is working for you.... The sketch is merely a tool to help your creativity! So go create something wonderful!!!
One potential set of measurements (that I've already written) for my red and white Christmas card below could be:
Base: Whisper white 11 x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 5 1/2"
2nd Layer: Real red, 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
3rd Layer: Whisper white 5 1/4" x 4" (with the big shot polka dot embossing folder)
4th Layer: Real red, 2 3/8" x 2 5/8" (1/8" larger than layer 4)
5th Layer: Whisper White 2 1/4" x 2 1/2"
Many of the operators give more details and measurements for their cards. To visit their blogs, just click on the pictures below and you'll be transported to their latest 411 blog post. If they are not up yet, please try back. Some of us may be out on the town for the night, up in the mountains camping, or on a CRUISE!!!!, like 3 of our operators will be this upcoming week. Congratulations to Kerin, Robin and Tiffany for earning the Stampin' Up! incentive trip this year! This year's destination will take them to the Caribbean, and I for one will be looking forward to seeing the three of them together! Congratulations on your accomplishments ladies!

I love this sketch! Just what I needed today!
ReplyDeleteI live for the Saturday sketch every week and check back each day to see the posts! Thanks for all the hard work and your creativity in making it all possible!

Hey ladies!! I just found your blog through a link from someone else (can't remember who) but am stoked to find you. I love your samples and your wonderful challenges. I've already added you to my favorite challenge blog list and can't wait to play. I just might start today (if sick kid at home allows!). Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration! Gorgeous cards!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for giving great ideas I love looking here every week since Iam new at doing this and everyone that posts does an awesome job
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work everyone
Love this sketch, thank you - very versatile.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a FUN sketch ... everything came together perfectly for me (which is very unusual)... so it must be a good'un! Have you thought of using the new "linky"s that I have seen around that show a thumbnail for each submission? Just a suggestion ... please don't think I am telling you what to do!!! Am happy either way! :D Hugs, Andrea xxx
ReplyDeleteOh! And ... I meant to add (but clicked the post comment button too quickly!) Thanks so much for all the effort that goes into keeping this blog humming! I am really enjoying the inspiration! Hugs, Andrea xxx
