The sketch today over at SCS was a CAS sketch. Right up my alley. I used a sneak peek of MFP's stamp set Spring Has Sprung. Just a fun sketch to go with a CAS style card. I did want to share my background paper site with you all. Paperprintables It is a free digital paper site and I have to say it has some beautiful paper!! Just sign up for the news letter and everytime she does new paper she sends it to you! Quite convenient. I have an entire file of paper to be used....eventually. :)
Another one of my favorite challenges is the One Layer Wednesday challenge put on by Susan at Simplicity. This week we were to use an image, a border stamp and bling. I used a stamp set I have had for a really LONG time and have never used by Amy Smyth. I made what I call Blob Flowers. You use the backside of a stamp for the blob, and then I used the lined image. I am not sure this qualifies for the challenge since I used 3 images but I wanted to try my blob flowers. As you can see, I am SO BAD at lining up borders - this particular one (again one I have never used) didn't go all the way across the card so I tried to match it up. Shoot, it isn't straight across on the card - frustrates me so bad! I think this time it was because my stamp image wasn't straight on the stamp block (and yes, I do use a grid block too!) Like I said - so frustrating when my stuff is crooked. I suppose I could of made another one --- however, I also dislike throwing away paper. Just another personal challenge of mine. Thanks for stopping in~

Both cards are fabulous, Vicki. Your blob flowers made me totally smile with happiness!
TOTALLY cannot see anything out of alignment, your card is SUPER!
Great cards!! I particularly like the OLW card - such a pretty bunch of flowers!
I don't see any flaws to speak of on this card. I think you simply added character to it... I really like this card !!
Vicki, both cards are so pretty. I love your blob flowers! Who makes the flower stamp? I'd love to see a little tutorial on this!
really beautiful card for OLW. I love to see what everyone else did with the challenge after I've done mine, it's amazing the variety.
your easter card is gorgeous, too
Love those blob flowers!
