Challenge #346

Good Morning Everyone!

It seems that it is great that as I (Kaylin) take over running the blog that it is only fair that I am posting one of my own sketches. I do want to say thank you to CherylAnn for all she has done. Being part of this team has made me grow as a card maker and if she hadnt chosen me for her challenge blog who knows if I would still be making so many cards.

Thanks
Kaylin

Congratulations, cardmakers, and thank you to all who participated in this challenge.  We hope to see you again!

p.s. Please link your card to a blog or another site where I can download your card as a jpeg.  Some sites do not allow this and some pretty amazing cards go by the wayside. 

Challenge #342

Good morning and happy Tuesday!  
Before I  go on, I would like to thank the ladies on our design team.  They are not only talented but extremely dedicated to this site.  They do not hesitate to do anything they can to keep this blog running smoothly (especially when I fall behind) and I am so very grateful to them.  Thank you, team, and big hugs to you!

Now for this week's sketch....it is a very complex one with several elements involved.  Great to test the creativity (and use up scraps of paper).

The optional technique is "Mixing Patterns".

And here are the cards from the ladies on the team.  They are simply amazing!
