It's time for a new challenge at
Freshly Made Sketches and this week I am the hostess - always a nerve-wracking experience. I think I've created a sketch that gives you some leeway with your design. My design was inspired by all those sponged backgrounds that I see by my fellow card-makers that are so beautiful.
I've had this Halloween stamp set for ages. I got it at TJ Maxx and I think it cost me all of three bucks. There's a bunch of fun images in it and I chose these little robbers since I was set on sponging a background which created a spotlight on them. There's a Halloween challenge at
The Paper Players too so my little thieves will find themselves there as well!
We've got a new blog look at

ReplyDeleteThis card just makes me smile - it totally looks like your birds are on the run from jail and have been caught in the guard tower's spotlight and they're all saying "oops" or a stronger version of that :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I've just read Linda's comment and now have that song in my head!
