I gave myself quite a challenge – two challenges really. Here’s how it went down. The CPS blog provides card sketches and request that we make a card based on that sketch and link it to their blog. There were 15 for this challenge. Because my computer was down for most of January I thought I was not going to be able to participate. However, I decided to go for it! I finally got the last few cards finished last night and I am posting them on my blog, linking them to this one:
http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com. If you struggle coming up with ideas for cards, by all means check out their blog and download the sketches. I’ve never been a sketch user before but I found out that it is much quicker with a sketch to follow. The second part of my challenge was to use as much of my “stash” as I could. No taking the quick way and grabbing a new piece of paper or cardstock. This slowed me down a bit but I did use a lot of the stash and only had to cut a new piece when absolutely necessary. I will be posting all 15 cards on their own posting to keep it simple.

Sketch 170
Another rose from my garden! I have over 30 rose bushes and last summer I decided to take a few pictures of them to use in my cards. The green strip was made using the Spellbinders Edgeabilities. I taped it and the yellow piece together and then added the golden-yellow piece of ribbon. All from the stash. The yellow polka dot paper is the only thing that was not from the stash.
Lovely design and nice take on the CPS sketch! Thanks for playing along with us.
