Sketches! {by tamara}

I love technology! I love how many great sites there are available with creative ideas. I found this blog: http://sketchesbytamara.blogspot.com/ yesterday, and was excited to see how many fun sketches she has on her blog. So I followed her sketch idea, and came up with this fun card. I loved this ribbon when I found it at Joann's! I used it on one birthday card, but since then it has been in my ribbon can waiting for another day to see sun! Well, this card called out for the ribbon. One of my favorite stamp sets is Stampin' Up Pick A Petal, and embossing it was even funner! The ink is all from Colorbox: Sunflower, Old Rose, Orange, and Midnight. The sentiment is from Cloud 9 "Memories."

Stamp Cleaner

I love this homemade stamp cleaner recipe I found on splitcoaststampers.com. I've been making recipe cards for swaps and decided I should get this recipe on a card as well. If you like to use rubber stamps, I recommend using this stamp cleaner. It's economical, and works great. The cardstock is Bazzill white, the designer paper is from our local scrapbook store. I love pink and brown together, and when I saw this paper, I loved it! I bought too many sheets of it, but I see so many possibilities for using this. The stamp set is Stampin' Up Pick A Petal.
