Sketch 44: Cards

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! If you have something special planned today, enjoy!!!! Today, we have 3 gorgeous cards to share with you. Once again, I loved looking at what each designer did with the upper-left corner from the sketch. I love how Danni decided to tear the patterned paper that she placed in the middle of the card instead of actually tearing something in the corner! And I love how Ember folded the corner down, and Chelsea designed something without it! Each so unique and awesome! Let's look!

Sketch 44: Layouts

Well, I start today off with sad news. We have two of our amazing designers leaving us today! Carrie and Hope have both had to move on due to family and other commitments. These girls are amazing, and they both started this journey with me in March 2008. I can never thank them enough for all they have done for TTS and for their stunning work that they have shared each week over the past year!!! Thank you girls for all you have done! We will truly, truly miss you!!!! Please wish them both well either in the comment section here or on Carrie's blog here and Hope's blog here. Love ya girls! And on a fun note, Carrie will have two of her TTS layouts published in two upcoming Scrapbook Trends issues. Be sure to look for her TTS layouts in the June and July 2009 issues! Congrats girl!

Now let's move on to our next fun sketch, Sketch 44! I love how the designers all did something different with the torn paper in the upper left-hand edge of this sketch. I also love how Hope did not include any photos but used the space for her title instead. Let's look at all of the designer's layouts and our sketch!12x12 Layout by Carrie
