You Are Awesome

There's something to be said about praise: the act of expressing approval or admiration. Three short words, possibly two seconds of your time. Written or verbal, praise is always appreciated and keeps many going. I just wanted to let you know if I haven't told you lately, that you, my readers, are awesome.

A new Artful Delight card kit and sketch challenge (as well as the scrapbook and sketch) were introduced on the Artful Delight Blog this past Wednesday, and if I can say this is one awesome kit too! The envelope was literally full to the brim with amazing contents. Here's a look see at it!

This kit contains 6x6 sheets of Bo Bunny Hello Sunshine collection, Prima Marketin's Doodle Deux collection and Basic Grey's Paper Cottage Collection. There are 8.5x11 sheets of coordinating Bazzill cardstock and embellies including a stamp! Please check out the full contents here!

My card today showcases a clean and simple take on the sketch challenge, along with the chipboard elements, stickers and cardstock from the kit. Amy tried out some loose stitching on one of her cards last week and I thought I'd try it out too! To make the chipboard not so heavy for a card, I simply peeled the top layer off its backing.

Stop by the Artful Delight Blog to check out the new kit and perhaps try your hand at the sketch. I always try for a flexible design open to interpretation: take it clean and simple or dress it up with a shabby and vintage style!

One last thing: I was fortunate to have been chosen to continue on the May Arts Design Team and they have showcased the new 2012-2013 Design Team on their blog. The Ribbon Lady is offering up 3 spools of ribbon from their newest release just by leaving a comment of welcome! Check it out here!
