Today, I went over to my friend Lori‘s place to stamp. She has a really great stamp room. I am jealous.I worked on three sketch challenges. I really enjoy sketch challenges. It makes me think of ways to use all the stamps I have. The first sketch challenge I worked on was Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #29. I don’t have any cupcake stamps that work with the sketch, so I decided to do presents, because who doesn’t love presents on their birthday. I made it 5.5″ inches square. I really liked the crispness of the colors I chose. This will be great card for a guy.

Ink: Stampin’ Up Real Red, Brilliant Blue
Accessories: Stampin’ Up Scallop Circle Punch, 1 1/4″ Circle Punch; dimensionals
The second sketch challenge was Our Creative Corner’s Saturday Sketch Challenge. Again, I did a birthday card, four of them to be exact. Birthday cards are in hot demand at my house. I love sending birthday cards to my friends and family. And why make just one card, when you already have the supplies out. Plus, this card can be personallized when I send it off. The colors don’t come out quite right in the picture though.

The third sketch challenge was Jen del Muro’s Sketch for You to Try. I immediately thought of the hibiscus flower in the stamp set I used. I made two of these.
