Birthday Card With CTMH Surf's Up Paper Using Cricut AP, Artiste and Sophisticated Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #50 -  Sketch.
 
Hi fellow bloggers and creators!  I am happy to be here and to be able to create.  I don't know how I survived all these years without creating like I do now.  I wasn't aware of it and was busy working a lot.  I hope all of you are finding time to create as well.  It is very therapeutic for me.

Please join us for another great week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge 50 - Sketch.  Desire has created a wonderful sketch for us to use as a guide this week; which is shown below.   Our sponsor this week is SK Digis.  Be sure to visit them on the web to see all the adorable images they have available.  Check out the other members of the DT so you can see their interpretation of this wonderful sketch.

Our Guest Designer this week is Debora.  Click on her name to view her blog and her wonderful creations.  If you would like to be a Designer on Tammy's Scrapin Corner; just add GDT behind your name when you enter the challenge.  We would love to have anyone who is interested enter and a winner will be chosen each week.  Don't give up if you don't win the first time.  Keep trying. 

I selected SK Digis "Teddy Bear With Turtle" for my twisted easel card this week.  I love this image and had to use it.  It was a challenge trying to find a shape I wanted to use for the center.  I wanted it to be different than my usual choice of backgrounds; which I think I achieved.  LOL!!  I finally found this backgroud piece on Cricut Sophisticated and decided to use it.  Any shape can be used as your center piece.  Just have fun with it.  Be creative!!

    Gloria: First, congrats on your win at Eureka! Hope you enjoy the digis you select. You earned them, girl!
    Second, I think your link is a little messed up at WAW. I couldn't get to your blog through the link, but luckily, I know how to get here on my own!!!! No biggie though, you're still entered...it just doesn't take you here by clicking the link.
    Finally, your card is lovely (as always) and I thank you SO MUCH for sharing it with us in this week's challenge. I always LOVE having you play along with us, and appreciate your participation.
    Blessings,
    karen

    This is such an adorable card. Easel cards are much more work b/c you have to do both the inside as well as the outside. You did a splendid job of making both look fabulous. Thanks for sharing with us on Vickie's Challenge at Lady Anne's. We look forward to having you sharing your art with us again soon. Hugs~Patti
