CPS Year In Review Challenge

Happy New Year Everyone! I spent New Years Eve and New Years Day ‘hopefully’ setting a trend for how I spend the rest of this year. Getting organized, and playing with paper! I’ll share a few of my organizing efforts with you later, but first I want to share two cards with you that I made for the CPS Year In Review card challenge.


The challenge this week was to use any of the previous sketches from weeks 1 through 147!  That is a lot of sketches to choose from, and I had a hard time choosing . . . so I chose two!  Up first is sketch #34 . . .

 
Here is my take on the sketch.  As you can see I flipped it a bit for my design . . .
 
 

 
 
A couple of spotlight pics . . .

The second sketch I used was 45, and I truly loved this card!  The tulip tag and my aunt were my inspirations for this card, and I'll be sending the card to my aunt soon.  As soon as the Christmas holidays are over, she's talking spring, and in her mind, spring starts Feb. 1, no matter where she is!  I love her outlook on spring!  Here is the sketch . . .

 

 

 

 

And here is my take on the sketch . . .
