2 Sketches 4 You and Die Cuts R Us




Okay, this week I was DETERMINED to do the 2S4U challenge and perhaps even post it ON TIME. (Even though I've got a BIG secret project that's due TOMORROW. YIKES!) Well I loved Kazan's Sketch 32 and was toying with ideas when I came across a post on Carole's BLOG about her DT project and very first challenge at Die Cuts R Us. OOOOh, monograms! I've certainly been into them lately so here you go. I thought I'd be using some of that great cream and black paper from K&Co that I've become so fond of, but because I couldn't WAIT to try out my new Nestie fleur de lis pendant and also wanted to incorporate my new CB folder, it just was too busy so I just stuck with the color sheme and forgot about the patterned paper. WooHoo! 2 challenges in one and one is a SKETCH! (I'm overcoming my fear. LOL) Even stuck it all together with my Glue glider (and a few pop dots :D).

    Wow, that looks really classy! I like the repeat of the Fleur de Lis in the embossed background. What did you use for that? It looks so beautiful!

    Donna this is stunning, just so elegant. I saw a card made with that Nestie the other day but they had sold out, was so disappointed and now even more having seen how beautiful it really is again.

    Donna, that Nestie looks so much better when you use it than it does on the package! I absolutely love it and love how you paired it up with the embossing folder. The card is stunning in b&w! Hugs from the East Coast!
