A few weeks ago my sweet friend Kim Kesti asked if I would be interested in making some cards based on a sketch to celebrate the release of a new Paper Crafts special issue. Um, yeah! Count me in!
This fun magazine is out now:
And I got to play around with this sweet sketch by Kim:
And here are the cards I made:
I love how versatile this sketch is and how easily these cards came together, and fit my simple card-making style so well. I also love that these cards gave me the chance to use up some embellies I've had for a while.
But wait!
Kim and all the Go-To gals at Paper Crafts magazine are having a Blog Hop where you can see oodles of brand-new, never-before-seen cards by these talented ladies and their crafty friends. So go take a peek at Kim's blog and work your way through the rest of the blogs to feast your eyes on some cute card candy.
There's more!
Leave me a comment stating where you go for card inspiration and I'll pick one lucky lady (or fella!) to win a copy of this great new magazine.
Ready, set, go!
Very cute! I love the simple design, it my fav! :)
