Need a sketch or two... or 50?


Recently, I was asked to be a part of a fun project put together by the ever-so-talented Becky Fleck! You might know her from PageMaps, but she's also the editor of Scrapbook & Cards Today. The magazine just published Cardmaps -- with more than 50 sketches inside to inspire your next card and 80 samples with step-by-step instructions! I was proud to have 6 cards inside! When the publisher sent me a copy, they sent me an extra.

Would you like a chance to win it?
Simply leave a comment on this post and I'll draw and announce a name
next Saturday, right here on my blog!


Here's a peek at one of the cards I have inside!
For those that might want to take a peek and order this wonderful sketch inspiration magazine, click HERE to check it out! They just started shipping the magazine yesterday! I have to say, the sketches inside are FABULOUS, and the creations really spark even more creativity. I just I know I'll be using this magazine as a fun starting point to create for years to come! :-)

How neat to have a Card Map now - I'm excited. I have loved the page maps for along time so this is going to be a must for me. Congratulations on being involved in the book.

Sketches are my favorite form of inspiration - can never have too many of them!

Julie, what a compliment, six ideas and examples published! Yeah! And an extra copy to one of us, how very generous of you! Thank you for entering our names in your drawing pulled by E or C at just the right moment. Many many moments ago I noticed the snow falling in bucketsfull of pellet like flakes. Refreshing the white almost non-existant in recent melt days.
What a morning! Good go on the six published ideas!
Keep Looking UP!

That card is a beauty! No wonder it was chosen for publication. I have never used a sketch but it sounds very interesting to have maps to help with inspiration.
