Card Patterns

If you have been following my blog for a bit now, you know that I am a BIG fan of card sketches...what a great tool to jump start your cardmaking. I love them too for forcing me to try something new. So this week I am thrilled to tell you that I am the sponsor over at the Card Patterns blog.

I hope you'll pay them a visit to see what the talented designers are up to! They are playing with one of my favorite retired snowmen sets and the Catalynne paper pack (and you have a chance to win it all!). Have you noticed the trend for softer colors this Christmas? I thought this paper would be perfect -- but really, it's super any time of the year!

So be sure to stop over at Card Patterns and see what other special surprises await you - and don't forget to play along! I will be posting my own takes on the sketch this week too!

By now Inspiration Avenue is live over at The Angel Company, but don't forget that you can still order from the spring supplement...Serendipty. If you don't have a hard copy to thumb through and enjoy, here's a sample of what you are missing!

Step by step project ideas!
