Kazan's Sketch 26





I hope that you all managed to celebrate Mothers day in a special unique way that is most deserving to the Mothers we are and the Mothers we have.  I for one had a lovely day filled with many surprises but probably the most treasured was receiving handmade cards from Kevin and the girls.  They were hurriedly made at breakfast on scratchpad with ballpoint ink pens and a few highlighters I have in the kitchen drawer.  These gifts from the heart kicked off a Mothers Day to remember.

This Monday is extra special for all of us at 2 Sketches 4 You as we introduce to you our Summer Design Teams first interpretation of this weeks sketch.  They were all very fortunate to work with these gorgeous images from The Cutting Cafe: Frame Journaling Set, Sweet Stuff, All About Mom and the Monogram Set and this is what they produced:

Bonus Sketch and Card


Our first Bonus Sketch and Card for this season is brought to you by the very talented Lori Roop.  We have been long time admirers of Lori's cards and her blog,  The Paper Yard  and we know you are going to love playing along with her super cute sketch this week.

Sponsor of the Week
Regina Easter

The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and cutting files to crafters, scrapbookers, and cardmakers. The cutting files are templates that you print out (using your home printer)
cut, assemble and then embellish! The format of the cutting files can be used on Die-Cut machines like Pazzles Inspiration and Cricut (with Scal software) and are very easy to use, versatile and fun too.

The printable stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out you can color them in or paper piece them like you would any other stamped image!

One of the best things we love about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that we don't have to worry about finding space in our craft rooms to store them... Simply keep them in a folder on your computer to use over and over again! What a great idea Regina! 

* The Cutting Cafe' is having a 2 for 1 special for a limited time.  Purchase one set of stamps and you get a second set of equal or lesser value free!  Hurry offer ends midnight Monday*


Regina
Is generously offering to the
Winner of Card of the Week

Frame Journaling Set
Sweet Stuff Set
All about Mom Set
Monogram Set
3 Additional Printables of the Winners choice

How to Enter:

• Please provide a link to your card by posting it on this thread
• Deadline for all entries: Saturday May 16th at Midnight (US Mountain time)

Hugs Kazan & A shining new Summer Design Team.
