Used the Tic Tac Toe challenge as inspiration as I created this fun fold. I used the middle vertical line Blue-Free-Stencil as I selected papers, stencil and inks for this W-fold Pop-out card. I used papers from my stash - a long retired CTMH pattern, Pale yellow and Twilight card stock. The stencil, inks, and sentiment are Gina K Designs.

The Great Outdoors
Challenge #687 at Try A Sketch On Tuesday
My design team inspiration for you uses a Gina K Designs set, The Great Outdoors, to create a birthday card for my son.
Here in the PNW there are some beautiful golf courses with mountains in the distance. This card is very similar to the one Gina K made when demonstrating the set last year. I've created several versions for my golfing friends.

Yarn Love
My DT inspiration project for the new challenge #686 at
I admit this one really had me scratching my head...those squiggles... but you will find LOTS of great inspiration on the blog. Each of the Design Team had a different idea. So fun!
I used a Simon Says Stamp set Yarn Love that I've had for quite a while now. I inked with Gina K colors to match some twines I have. The back panel was embossed with Spellbinders Sweater Weather folder.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Leave a hello, and Hop on the challenge at TSOT so I can visit you.

A Big Thank You
Happy Monday!
A new sketch at Atlantic Hearts to take us into the New Year.
My goal is to do a bit of reorganizing and purging here in the craft room. And that means revisiting some sets I've forgotten about. The images on my card today are from Altenew's Build-a-Flower Dahlia set. The sentiment is Gina K Designs embossed on a Spellbinders frame die. The back panel was debossed with Altenew's Dotted Swirls cover die (more visible in real life).
The flowers are a layering stamp set and I am NOT good at lining them up at all. I gave up and finished them with Copic markers. I love dahlias but this set will go to a new home.

Christmas Pine
Happy Monday morning!
New at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week - sketch #660 is a quick and easy design for using some pretty papers. Or you could random stamp or stencil a background. I'm baking up a storm of shortbread and biscotti for gifts and so I took the easy route :-) and pulled from my Christmas stash.
I just love this deep dark green.
Hope you will play along with us at AHSC.
