The Deconstructed Sketch No. 75

Hello there! I have had so much fun playing in my craft room for the last 2 days! It seems like I have been away from home so much lately and so crazy busy when I am home that I never get time to just create, you know? But the last couple of days have been lazy, creative days... such good therapy!

Today's sketch was a lot of fun... I say that every week, don't I? I really am having a lot of fun playing along with the Deconstructed Sketch Girls.

I am trying to use a different paper and stamp set every week, so I looked through my box and found that I hadn't used any Graphic 45 yet, and I think Crafty Secrets stamps just work beautifully with G45 papers, so, voila! A perfect match! A bit of distress ink, some crochet trim, and a few vintage-y embellishments and we have ourselves this week's card!


Be sure to check out what the other Design Team members have created with this fabulous sketch:

    1. How fun! I actually live in Dallesport now, which is just across the river from The Dalles. If you have a chance you should check out Urban Paper, our Local Scrapbooking Store in The Dalles (very easy to find, it's not a big town). It is an AWESOME little store.

  7. Cresta...this is so pretty and so "antiquey". The bits of the deep maroon add just the right touch to set the tone for your card! Love it! Do hope you can come color again soon. Thinking of having a Saturday coloring day maybe at the beginning of December if things calm down. Will keep you posted!
