Card Patterns Sketch 152

I love challenges!  I spend alot of my free time looking online for fun challenges to participate in.  Unlike some bloggers, I like to only use the 4 challenges maximum for one submission.  I love designing cards way too much.  I am always up for a challenge.

My insipration

So today, I found this challenge right off the bat.  I went to my craft area, aka my dining room table (which my daughter has asked me to have cleared by tomorrow night so she can make a nice Valentine's dinner for her honey).  Card Pattern Sketch 152 gave me opportunity to use that gorgeous ribbon that I've been hoarding, to use up a full sheet (8.5x11) of mint green cardstock, finished off a sheet of rhinestones and to use my new Big Shot and nestibilities die.  The girl is a die cut I bought some time ago.  I am not one to use markers on my stamped images. 


As I head toward my goal of depleting my stash, I am still on task.  I need to count how many cards I've created so far this year to see how many I can make without purchasing any new cardstock or embellishments.  To be continued on that note.....
