Raquel....Thanks for the great simple sketches. I should have plenty of time to work on them this week. I've had my son and his family here and got to spend some quality time with my granddaughter. She's 15 months now and so adorable.
Very nice first card. Where is the BG paper from? I love how the flowers came out and the sentiment on the stamp.
This weeks colors:

Please find my atempt at sketch #2. I needed a card for a freind to give her daughter and so I made this one up and now find it fits in with your sketch, well sort of. I flipped the strip and added a circle instead of a square. The card is a 5x5, I used a MS punch and a Fiskars punch along with SB and DJ cart for the numbers. The papers were free out of a mag.

Got my sketch #1 done, wanted to post it last night but messed u p stamping so had to cut another circle.
Super fast card using the ad colors and the scalloped circle is from Art Philosophy added a lot of little bling around the circle. Just found out today that CTMH is coming out with a new Cricut cartridge or I should say the HAVE, I already have mine ordered will let you guys know what I think of this one hope it is a good as AP.
Also try and comment later or probably tomorrow, my best friend (the one I made the Iris card for) is coming over right now to visit. Her surgery is now scheduled for July 30 and they will be doing it was less evasive as just a few small incisions instead of cutting open her whole chest YEAH!

Beautiful cards so far! I will comment on them individually on Sunday when I return from a short vacation. RAQ - Thanks so much for hosting again! Always appreciated! Dee - wonderful ad colours! Here's my take on Sketch #3. It's a money holder. Cricut used: Wild Card for the money holder (and it makes a great envelope too!), Paper Lace 2 for the yellow flower shape and Happy birthday. Tim Holtz for the red flourish. Other blue patterned paper cut by hand Have weekend everyone! Edited by user Thursday, July 12, 2012 1:51:00 PM(UTC)
