Here we go. I had to make Father's Day cards so your sketch was perfect for it. Although I hope it's ok I moved around (and changed) the circle.

Here's my take on the sketch
ReplyDeletehttp://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/948778?cat=500&ppuser=49592
I did do two cards on Saturday but didn't photograph and post them until today.
ReplyDeleteHere's my blog with the post that contains them.
http://justsayyestostamps2.blogspot.com/2008/06/our-creative-corner-challenge-1.html
Can't wait for the next one!
I am having a bad memory day! lol
ReplyDeleteI uploaded my card and totally forgot to leave my link here! Help me God! lol
http://vibgyorkrafts.blogspot.com/2008/06/our-creative-corner-sketch-challenge.html
Now I will check out what other crafters came up with!
What a great sketch and amazing samples, each and every one of them! Here's my try at the sketch: http://inkingaloud.blogspot.com/2008/06/ahoy.html
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how many I can enter. I did three entries and posted them on my blog at http://bp3.blogger.com/_B_nOWxdBrX8/SFdDH1qTw-I/AAAAAAAAAEY/02L10hWvd4A/s1600-h/Vase+of+flowers.jpg and http://bp0.blogger.com/_B_nOWxdBrX8/SFdDATc-JFI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/Obr-UeodcR4/s1600-h/Thanks.jpg and http://bp2.blogger.com/_B_nOWxdBrX8/SFdC2Ly995I/AAAAAAAAAEI/WkHwV38Zgag/s1600-h/Asian+Get+Well+Card.jpg. You can see them all at one time at http://arlenesbits.blogspot.com/.
ReplyDeleteNow I think I may have to do something else? This is the first entry I've made anywhere but the Hero Arts site, so not sure of the protocol yet. I wasn't sure if I could round the corners on the vertical CS - I would have done that on the Thanks card. I saw that the circle overlapped the second CS, I wanted to have a 1/2 circle to the right only and none on the CS. I'm sure I'll learn as time goes by. Thanks for letting me post.
I loved this sketch! Here's my card
ReplyDeleteYea! I got a chance to give it a try - great sketch!! Looking forward to many more inspirational posts from you all! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my card:
