It is my Mix It Up Monday Challenge this week and I have a sketch for you! I find it so much easier to make a card if I have a sketch as my first step. Here is the sketch:
and, here is my card:
I used the beautiful butterfly from GKD
Bold and Beautiful, along with the bigger, fun sentiment from
Whimsical Wishes. Do you like my papers? I'm am so in heaven with these dots and stripes from the new
Echo Park Dots & Stripes paper! Totally my favorite combo. I sure hope you come over to
Stamp TV and play in my challenge - you could be the winner of a stamp set up to $24.95.
On a side note, I wanted to share my excitement with you -- I have OFFICIALLY been PUBLISHED! Check it out:
Do you see that! My
NAME AND CARD in
Card Maker Magazine!!! Oh I can't tell you how thrilled I am! My first published card!! [The title "Congratulations" seems very appropriate :)]

CONGRATULATIONS VICKI!!!!! How very exciting!! I am just thrilled for you!! I don't want to enter the drawing, as I have my copy - love that magazine. I just started reading it last night, now I have to rush home and look for your card! But I had to tell you congratulations. Hugs, Sharon :o)
When I read your message about being published I was smiling from ear to ear ( just like when someone wins money or a new car on TV and you don't even know them and you can't help but be happy for them.) well like that. Anyways, It couldn't happen to a better person. Congrats!!!!
WOO HOO!!!! - AWESOME job on getting a card published Vicki!! You go girl!! You are seriously getting famous now. I love the colors of that card and your rounded corners.
