CSS Alumni Blog Hop Oct 22/12

[Betty Neville]

Hi Everyone!

It's time for another Center Stage Alumni Blog Hop!  As I am first on the list today, you should have arrived from the StampTV forum here.  This time we have a sketch challenge for you!  We were to create a card or project based on the following sketch by Melissa Cash - thanks, Melissa, for another great sketch!

 

I have two cards for you today.  I used Theresa's "Under the Sea" for my first card - love how detailed and realistic these images are! 

For my next card, I used Melanie's "Branching Out".  Sentiment is from last year's Christmas StampTV kit "Wishing you Joy".  Card stock is GKD PL "Cherry Red". This card came together quite quickly; and would be flat to mail, especially if I did not pop up the main panel.  One more card for my Christmas stash!

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you leave a comment as you hop along; because on Tuesday, October 30th, we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs, and that person will win a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K Designs stamps!  Next up is super talented Brenda Turner at:
