I need a card for one of my employees.  And I decided to make one off camera.  OMG it's been FOREVER since I have done that.  And I have decided to use a stamp that I haven't used EVER.  I just ADORE Gorjuss stamps and I haven't been using mine.... I just don't.  But I love them that IS the reason I got them in the 1st place. So it was time to do that and while watching Courtney from Little Raven Ink (on Patreon, I love supporting artists that I like).  I just played with some alcool inks which have not been used either.... and made a really fun background. The other papers used on this card are from a card folder and the other from a very old paper pack that can't identify for you. I really hope that you like my new card for you.  I followed the sketch that you can find on my sketch/layout challenge .  It's been a very long time since I have posted just on my blog.  I hope you like it but most of all I sure hope my employee likes...

WOW such a great turnout for the 1st challenge!  So now it's time for the 2nd challenge.  I really hope that you will like this sketch/layout as much. Here is the sketch for you guys: and here is what I made with this sketch. I went all mixed media on it and turned it around.  I hope that it inspire you: I was given this gorgeous image from Martina from Deutschland.  She also gave me the beautiful strip of sticky papers.  You really have to watch the video of the making to know what I did here: Youtube video So here is the new linky tool please join in!!!!  Cards, atc, mixed media etc. just suprise me and everyone :)

I'm so excited to be able to share with you all the winner of the 1st layout challenge!!!  There were 24 entries overall.  Some came via e-mail, FB page, Instagram, snail mail, pinterest as well as direct entries via blogs.  I am amazed that so many participated and really happy to continue this challenge for another month!  I would also like to thank everyone that became a subscriber of my blog.  I really appreciated that as well. :)  I would like to post more but between life, work, family and youtube sometimes making extra post is difficult, however it's in my list of wishes for 2020.
