ICS #26 Guest Designer

Even though I'm away I've scheduled this post because I'm once again honored to be guest desinger for ICS for the week. Love the sketch this week because blocking techniques can be challenging but I love the clean simple effect they create. That fun sentiment is from the July release of Digiments and you can get the entire collection for only $10! Be sure to check out what all the other fabulous designers did at ICS this week.

Sketch Girl

I am so proud to say that I will be designing for Sketch Girl. It is a brand new card sketch site. The first sketch went live this week and I'm so excited to share with you my take. The sketches will be every two weeks so you'll have plenty of time to join in on the fun. Also in the next few challenges there will be prizes so head on over and become a follower so you can stay up to date on all the latest. Besides using the fun Sketch Girl sketch I used the Use It challenge. The challenge was monochromatic (one color with a neutral, for me black), a favorite stamp, a tag, and a layered flower. I know its kind of odd to see a Halloween card but I bought these stamps after Halloween and I've really been wanting to use them so I finally gave in. The paper is from the Rock Queen stack from DCWV.

Weekend Scrapping

This first card is for GCD Studios Bold and Simple contest. I lov using their product and usually projects I make with their paper do turn out quite simple because the papers really stand out. Also the tags make for quick cards and LOs because they make a great focal feautre or fast journaling.

This card combines the Pile It On challenge with one of the challenges at 365 Cards. Pile It On was a sketch this week and the 365 Cards challenge was to use paper piercing. Not a technique I've ever really used but I like the look and its super simple.

Digiments Release Day

Today is the Digiments July release! There are 24 brand new Digiments for sale for only $10! Here is my card featuring the Sistah line. Check out the site for more examples of how to use these brand new sentiments.

Guest Designer for ICS

I'm so honored to be the guest designer at Inspirational Card Sketches for the next two weeks! Like many of you already know I loved this site and its talented lovely design team.
