SCS Sketch #SC1129

I have been part of the Sketch team on Splitcoaststampers for a few years now. Whether it's my week to create the sketch (the first Wednesday of each month) or I'm creating a sample card based on the sketch someone else created, I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing. 



There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.

Kim created this week's sketch - #SC1129:

I hope you'll use the sketch to make a card, too.

Spellbinders Desk-Top Calendar

I have been honored to do some guest designing for Spellbinders this month featuring items from their Esther Glas release. This is my fourth and final blog post featuring these items for Spellbinders. 

Today's items were especially fun for me. I used the Torn Edges CardLab Etched Die Set to make a desk-top calendar. I plan to add pages behind each month with the birthdays of my friends and family members.


Spellbinders also has a CardLab Box that can be decorated and assembled to hold the cards. Although I didn't receive that item as a guest designer I did purchase one and plan to make it in the near future to hold my calendar.



I think this set of dies and box would also be a great way to have favorite recipes closer at hand.

Spellbinders Mixed Media Page

I have been honored to do some guest designing for Spellbinders this month featuring items from their Esther Glas release. The products are perfect for junk journaling, mixed media and such, but I think they work well for cards, as well so most of the items I've made have been cards.

There is a collection of dies and other products that coordinate together to make mixed media journaling pages and more. I used the Torn Edges with Tag Etched Die Set and the paper reinforcers from the Torn Edges CardLab Etched Die Set to make this page.
