This week's sketch was a fun one to work with - thanks, Moe! Since it was her sketch, I decided to use Verve's Stronger Love, a set that was inspired by her.I kept things pretty simple and was thrilled to be able to take two of my favorite die cuts out of my "to be used on another card" pile - whoo hoo!! Still add way more things to the container than I take out, but every little bit helps. That being said, I took some rather "extreme" artistic licence with the circle elements on the sketch...but am very happy with how it turned out so it works for me wink, wink :)
Still chipping away at the purging and cleaning. It's going to be a house wide ordeal so it will take some time to get it all done. taking a bit at a time now after my initial dive into the basement over the holidays. Feels good :)
Thanks for popping by today!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sentiment and I love the way you interpreted the circles! I love it when I can use some leftovers from previous cards. It does seem like the pile grows instead of reduces though.
ReplyDeleteMarisa, this is just GORGEOUS! I LOVE it!
