Loving Ewes

I am so thrilled to have been invited to be a guest designer over at the A La Card Monkey Challenge Blog for this week's challenge#92.  I was so excited when I got the invitation.  This is the first time I have had the honor of being a guest designer anywhere.  I have to say I was a little nervous, but when I saw the sketch, I immediately knew the image I would use and a creation came to mind. This is a little more layer-y than most of my recent work, but I am happy with the way it came out.  Here is the sketch:

Happy Birthday Molly

As I was perusing blogs yesterday looking for inspiration for a birthday card for my niece, I happened upon  A La Card Monkey - a weekly challenge blog that I had not seen before, and that I really liked  The sketch images on this blog are very clever.  They look more like a card than a raw sketch, and all have an image of an animal on them. I love that.  Here's this week's sketch:

Is that adorable, or what?????  This week's challenge - Break out the new stuff for Monkey Challenge #90: New to You is to use the sketch AND something new from your stash - either something you got recently, or something that you have had, but not used before.

The card that I made is for my niece, Molly, who turned 17 on Monday.  She is a driver now (yikes!) and now, so I wanted to use a car theme. The new things I used were from PTI's Enjoy the Ride.  Though I have used the VW car outline from the set before, I have not used the solid VW, the licence plate sentiment, or the happy birthday sentiment.  I am pleased with this creation for my special girl.

If you haven't, check out the A La Card Monkey challenge blog.  There is some beautiful work there from the DT and the participants.  I know I will go there frequently. 

 

I appreciate your taking the time to stop in today.  Have a lovely one!
