Hello my friends! Justin here from Alaska… oh wait, I live in New York, it just feels like I live in Alaska! LOL! We got some more snow last night about two inches and it’s raining now. I know you must be sick of hearing about the nasty winter that we are having here and I can tell you that I can’t wait to start talking about driving around with the top down in the car again!! Come on Spring, you can do it! Get here fast!! I wish that the flights to Florida were cheaper for this weekend, I would be on my way down there! 🙂

It being Wednesday and all means that it’s time for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. This week we have the following for you…
I do love some flags! I think I was really wanting spring when I made this card, the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog has a nice spring feel to it! My card starts off with a base of Basic Black Card Stock and the background is a piece of Sahara Sand. A strip of Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper goes across the middle and also is used for one of the flags. My other flag is a piece of Pistachio Pudding that I embossed with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (also from Sale-A-Bration!) For my greeting is used the See Ya Later Stamp Set (yup, Sale-A-Bration!) stamped in Pool Party and cut out with the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies. The owl Builder Punch is used to punch out the heart from some Crisp Cantaloupe, perfect fit for the stamp! My three flowers are stamped in Summer Starfruit and are from the Best of Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set, they go perfectly with the DSP! Finally, two Subtles Candy Dots complete the card. I really do love the colors in the Sweet Sorbet DSP and I thought that it was really cool the way the tower goes so well with it! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. Head on over to the blog to see my teammates have for you and enter your card in the taller for a chance to one of the Artisan Picks! I really do appreciate you stopping but to visit with me and I hope that you have a fun Wednesday! 🙂
